Paul Revere A Patriot With A Purpose

Paul Revere A Patriot With A Purpose

Paul Revere is a unique figure in USA history.  His name is universally known for his “Midnight Ride” yet he seems to appear out of nowhere on that day and disappear the next.  Like Rosa Parks, he seems to be important for one day of his life which changes American History and then vanishes.  But like Mrs. Parks, he led a rich, full and important life before and after his moment of fame.

While Americans recall something of the drama of Paul Revere’s ride, the details are more harrowing, exciting and heroic than you may realize. Revere was captured by the British and threatened with death. He escaped the clutches and rode through their lines and saved the next of John Hancock and John Adams.  He even managed to smuggle top-secret documents  to safety under the nose of the British column!

How was Paul Revere a Patriot with a purpose? Come to this exciting and unexpected presentation to learn about how he helped organize the USA’s first spy network, revolutionized American industry – oh, and managed to take the midnight ride!
