He never was in the military. He was a silversmith who lived in Boston and had six children. He didn't even finish the ride he is so famous for and the only reason you know his name is because poet Longfellow wrote a poem called The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere in 1861. He didn't write the poem to tell about Revere but to remind the people in 1861 to be patriotic on the eve of civil war.
