    for by Dr. Joseph Warren and was told to ride
    to Lexington, Matt. ,to warn Sam Adams and
    John Hancock that the British were coming.
   The saying ’’One by land, two by sea’’ was said
    by Paul when the British were coming.
   Paul Revere’s Ride By: Henry Longfellow
   Paul Revere By: The Beastie Boys
   Ride Of Paul Revere
   There is even a band named Paul Revere and
    the Raiders
   Married Sarah Orne in the Aug. of 1757.
   After Sarah died in 1773 Paul married Rachel
    Walker and had 8 children.
   Paul’s silver shop was just a corner stone of his
    professional life.
   Was originally dad’s shop, but inherited it later
    on.
   Paul Revere provided three accounts of his
    ride on April 18th 1775.

   His first two accounts, a draft and a corrected
    copy of a deposition, both dated 1775, were
    made at the request of the Massachusetts
    Provisional Congress.
   These depositions, taken from all eyewitnesses
    to the skirmish on Lexington Green, were
    compiled in the hopes of obtaining proof that
    the British had fired the first shot.
   On the night of April 18, 1775, silversmith Paul
    Revere left his small wooden home in Boston's
    North End and set out on a journey that would
    make him into a legend.
    Today that home is still standing at 19 North
    Square and has become a national historic
    landmark.
    It is downtown Boston's oldest building and
    one of the few remaining from an early era in
    the history of colonial America.
   The Paul Revere Memorial Association
    rescued and restored the Paul Revere House.
   The building that had been the patriot's home
    from 1770-1800 continued for a time as a
    private home, however, by 1845 it was in full
    use as a boarding house mostly for transient
    seamen.
   In 1811, at the age of 76, Paul Revere retired
    and left his well-established copper business in
    the hand of his sons and grandsons.
   Revere seems to have remained healthy in his
    final years, despite the personal sorrow caused
    by the deaths of his wife Rachel and son Paul
    in 1813.
   Revere died of natural causes on May 10, 1818
    at the age of 83, leaving five children.
   Paul Revere is remembered for his historic
    Midnight Ride warning colonists of the
    impending British Army attack. He also had an
    illustrious career as an engraver, silversmith,
    watchmaker and soldier.
