Paul Revere was a silversmith and patriot known for his midnight ride warning of the approaching British Army before the battles of Lexington and Concord. He was born in Boston to French Huguenot parents and had 12 siblings. Revere served as a courier for the patriot cause, warning Sam Adams and John Hancock that the British were coming to arrest them. Today he is remembered as a legendary figure in American history through works like Longfellow's poem and his historic home, which still stands in downtown Boston.
