Paul Revere
By Jane Runyon 		  
1     Listen my children and you shall hear, of the midnight ride of Paul Revere...
 
2     This is the beginning of a famous poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. It tells the story of a man who risked his life for the colonists. Paul Revere was this man. He rode his horse through the countryside of Massachusetts to warn the citizens that British troops were on the march. But who was this man?
 
3     Paul Revere was born in January of 1735 in Boston, Massachusetts. His early schooling was in Boston. He fought for the British against the French in the French and Indian War. He followed his father in the silversmith trade. A silversmith takes metal and turns it into works of art and tools. He made teapots, trays, tools for surgery, frames for glasses, and created pictures by etching acid onto copper. He even replaced teeth for people when they lost them.
