He was the person sent out to warn minutemen that the British were coming...They were coming to arrest some of the Puritans.The Puritans did not have many ammo during the war,so their saying was "Don't fire until you see the white of their eyes," which meant don't fire until they are very close.Read chapter 6 of Massachusettes Our Home for more information about Paul Revere.

Paul Revere was made famous by Longfellow's poem, "The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere" in which he rode to warn the colonial militia that the British were advancing on April 18, 1775. ( Revere actually did not complete his ride, since he was stopped and another man , William Dawes ,actually delivered the warning message. -- see the link below for details.)

Paul Revere made other contributions to the revolution and was a successful silversmith.
The fable of Revere comes from a Longfellow poem written in 1861 and in reality he didn't ride through the night yelling about the British coming. Longfellow wrote his poem on the eve of the civil war to remind people of the nation's history. Somehow the poem became part of history and was put into history books as fact. Revere never finished the ride, his horse was taken away and he was held by a British patrol, but thanks to Longfellow we all know who he is. He billed Congress for the ride and the cost of the horse since it was taken from him and it didn't belong to him. It was borrowed. His one big contribution was the picture on a flier after the Boston Massacre showing colonist getting shot by the British. This was pure Propaganda and was used to incite discontent between the colonist and the British troops.

Answer 2

A hero of the American Revolution, Paul Revere is remembered in history for a variety of reasons, but his exploits on the night of April 18th and the morning of April 19th in 1775 may be most famous. It is, after all, during this time that he showed resolution, courage, and daring in organizing (and carrying out) the advance-warning-system that enabled the colonists to prepare ahead of time for the British incursion into Lexington and Concord, which led to an American victory and the start of the War for Independence.

Answer 3

As far as the "Midnight Ride", Paul Revere had Longfellow for a press agent - that's why he is remembered so much better than William Dawes, or the other four men who also rode to warn the people that night. As far as his silver and coppersmith work, it's excellence speaks for itself - he was a whale of a good craftsman.

Answer 4

The whole ride fable comes from a Longfellow poem. This includes the signal.His most important thing is the flier of the Boston Massacre. He drew the event and it was mainly propaganda made to incite the colonist against the British.Revere was stopped by a British patrol and his horse taken. He never finished the ride, but two men did. They were named Prescott and Dawes. In 1861 Revere came to fame through a poem written by Longfellow on the eve of the civil war. He was trying to write about patriotism and remind people that they were one nation. This poem has been used as history and it isn't.

He was immortalized in Longfellow's famous poem about the midnight ride of Paul Revere. However, he was not the most famous rider at the time of the arrival of the British forces.
