Paul Revere was a skilled silversmith, engraver, and active patriot in colonial Boston. Born in 1735, he became deeply involved in resistance against British rule, joining groups like the Sons of Liberty. He is most famous for his midnight ride on April 18, 1775, when he warned colonial militias that British troops were advancing toward Lexington and Concord—helping spark the opening battles of the American Revolutionary War. Although other riders took part, Revere became the most well-known. Beyond his ride, Revere contributed by producing engravings that spread revolutionary ideas and later served as an officer in the colonial militia. After the war, he continued his work as a businessman and craftsman, becoming a respected figure in early American industry. Portrayed by Ken Hammontree.
