Paul Revere by Nicole

Paul Revere, a strong patriot was born on January 1st, 1735 in Boston Massachusetts. Even at young age, Paul had many jobs like being a silversmith only because his father died, engraving,and creating false teeth.

 He helped the American troops by trying to find out British plans and sometimes being captured by British soldiers. He also helped by becoming a leader of the Sons of Liberty.

 You may know Paul for his amazing "Midnight Ride" where he went from town to town warning people that the British were coming and even woke up John Hancock and Samuel Adams and warned them to leave town. During Paul Reveres ride, 6 English officers captured him and took his horse. When the officers heard gunfire they let Paul go but kept his horse. Without his horse Paul went back to Lexington wondering if John Hancock and Samuel Adams were still there. Which turns out, they were about to leave town in John Hancock's carriage, so Paul tagged along.

 During the ride John Hancock remembered hat he left a trunk full of many important papers in his tavern that would spell disaster if it fell into the hands of the English. So Paul and John Lowell (the carriage driver) went to get it. As Paul Revere and John Lowell walked back a war had begun, and still they walked on.

Once the Revolutionary War had started Paul Revere went back to Boston helped with his wife,and 16 children. He kept himself busy with printing paper and making bells.

Soon he died on May 10, 1818 at age 83. 35 years after the war ended.
