Description
In 1775, Paul Revere of Boston made his now-famous horseback ride warning colonists of an impending attack by the British. This event went in large part unnoticed in history till Longfellow celebrated it in a poem in 1861. So who used to be Paul Revere? Along with being an American patriot, he used to be a talented silversmith and made false teeth from hippo tusks! This biography, with black-and-white illustrations all over, brings to life Paul Revere’s thrilling ride in addition to the non-public side of the person and the exciting times during which he lived.
