Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere…
Lamps in the church tower, a dangerous rowboat ride across the river past British ships, a ride across the countryside awakening the people of the eminent danger of troops – the high water mark of the history of famed silversmith Paul Revere. But that wasn’t all he did for the independence of the United States of America…
Nor is it the only thing he did with his life. The father of sixteen children, a leader in Boston politics, a silversmith, engraver, bell maker, lieutenant colonel and friend of some of the most famed leaders of colonial times – Paul Revere filled his eighty-three years.
The Revolutionary Paul Revere by Joel J. Miller is an easy read biography, skimming through the life and events of a long life as fast as Paul Revere took his ride from Charlestown to Lexington. It isn’t greatly detailed or in-depth, but if you want a good review of his life this is the book for you.
