I would like to dedicate this story to all my future students. I hope you all learn to love History as much as I do!

"Listen, my children, and you shall hear

Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere,

On the eighteenth of April, in Seventy-Five:

Hardly a man is now alive

Who remembers that famous day and year."

- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Good Morning children, have you heard about me?

I am Paul Revere, from the Colonial Army.

I am famous for my ride to warn about the British.

But I began my life as a simple Boston silversmith.

To learn my whole story we must go back to the beginning.

Back to the North End of Boston where I was Living.

I went to school until I was thirteen.

Then I went to work with my father, apprenticing.

My Father died in 1574,

so I enlisted in the French and Indian War.

After 7 years, the war came to a stop,

so I went back home to work at my silversmith shop

But then the British created the Stamp Act,

that hurt my business and others, that's a fact.

So we men joined together to become the Son's of Liberty,

and we threw British cargo overboard at the Boston Tea Party!

The Revolutionary War began,

and I became a special kind of mailman.

I went on many rides to deliver secret information,

This was very important and I took no vacations.

I took this job very seriously,

because it led to my ride that I am known for so famously.
