Paul Revere (1735 – 1818) was an American patriot best known for riding on a borrowed horse from Boston to Lexington on April 18, 1775 to warn the colonists of approaching British troops. The next day, when the British arrived in Lexington, the colonial minutemen were waiting for them.
AmericanRevolution.org: Revere Speaks
“I, Paul Revere, of Boston, in the colony of the Massachusetts Bay in New England; of lawful age, do testify and say; that I was sent for by Dr. Joseph Warren, of said Boston, on the evening of the 18th of April, about 10 o’clock …” Read about the events of April 18, 1775 as written by Revere himself. The colonial language can be a bit difficult to follow, but as you read this, consider how Revere’s account of that night differs from the famous Longfellow poem.
Boston Tea Party Ship: Paul Revere
Learn how Revere came to be involved with the Loyal Nine, and the Sons of Liberty, and the role he played in the revolution beyond his famous Midnight Rider. “In August of 1765, Paul Revere participated in the Stamp Act Riots in response to the impending Stamp Act that was to take effect in the coming months. During these riots, the mob tore down the houses of government officials, including the house of Lieutenant Governor and Chief Justice Thomas Hutchinson.”
Kids and History: A Paul Revere Virtual Museum
This virtual museum and Teacher’s Guide was created by fifth-grade teacher Kimberly Hamilton more than ten years ago. So, although the site navigation feels a bit dated, the content is still first rate! The exhibits are divided into five halls, each with an offline activity or two. Start with Paul Revere’s Ride (Exhibit Hall 1) and pass through The REAL Story, Colonial Boston, Ride with Paul Revere and Music of the Revolutionary War. Suggested class activities include reading Longfellow’s poem aloud, making a paper model of the Revere House, and writing new lyrics to Yankee Doodle or God Save the King.
