Paul Revere was also a silversmith who was asked by the colonists to keep an eye on the British and give a warning if they start to attack.
He then rode through the nearby neighborhoods shouting out the warning, "The British Are Coming! The British Are Coming!"
He then went to the tower of the Old North Church put up lanterns. This was to let the colonists know where the British were attacking from. He put one up if they were coming by land and two if by sea.

He was an American patriot at the time of the American Revolution, and he was a highly acclaimed silversmith during his lifetime. As far as his ride to warn the British is concerned, that was immortalized in Longfellow's poem THE MIDNIGHT RIDE OF PAUL REVERE. However, Revere was stopped by the British, and it was William Dawes who gave the warning.

Paul Revere was a silversmith and did NOT complete his famous ride. he also depicted a drawing of the " Boston Massacre " which was a good propaganda ploy as it got the colonist stirred up.

Obscure fact: He was the first person to use dental records to identify a body. He identified the body of Joseph Warren out of a mass grave after the Battle of Bunker Hill using the remains of artificial teeth he had put in the man's jaw.

This is as fast as I can type... he's the guy that rode through the villages on a horse right before the Revolutionary War started warning the people of the oncoming British. His cry: "THE BRITISH ARE COMING! THE BRITISH ARE COMING!"

He rode through my home town (Arlington/Monotony) and told all the colonists that the British were coming!
