Paul Revere was born in the North End of Boston on December 21, 1734. His father, a French Huguenot who was born Apollos Riviore and came to the North End at the age of thirteen and was apprenticed by John Coney. Paul’s father married Deborah Hitchborn and lived with her family. Paul Revere was the third of twelve children and he was the eldest of all of them. He grew up in the environment of the Hitchborn family and he never ended up learning his father’s language. Paul decided to leave school at the age of thirteen and apprenticed his father as a silversmith. The silversmith trade gave him connections with a cross-section to the Boston society, which would serve him well in the American Revolution. Paul was always fond to the Church of England, even though his father was Puritan. They often had arguments about their religion and his father desperately wanted Paul to return to the Puritan faith. In the end, Paul returned to his family’s religion.
During the 1770s Paul supported the patriotic cause. He was acknowledged leader of Boston’s mechanic class and he provided an invaluable link between the artisans and intellectuals. In 1773 he donned Indian garb and joined so that other patriots in the Boston Tea Party, along with him, could protest against parliamentary taxation without representation. Although many have questioned the historical liberties taken in Longfellow’s narrative poem Paul Revere’s Midnight Ride in 1863, the tact is that Revere served for years as principal rider for Boston’s Committee of Safety, making journeys to New York and Philadelphia in his service.
In April 16, 1775, he rode to nearby Concord top urge the patriots to move their military stores, which were endangered by pending British troop movements. He arranged to signal the patriots of the British approach by having lanterns placed in Boston’s Old North Church steeple. Two days later he set out from Boston on his most famous journey to alert his countrymen that British troops were on the march, particularly in search of revolutionary leaders John Hancock and Samuel Adams. Along with William Dawes they reached Lexington separately and were able to warn them. Sam Prescott and two other men then started out for Concord and were stopped by British patrol and only Prescott was released. Revere was also caught, but also released. Thanks to Revere the Minutemen were ready for the historic battle that started the Revolutionary War.

Although many have questioned the historical liberties taken in Longfellow's narrative poem Paul Revere's Ride made in 1863, the fact is that Revere served for years as the principal rider for Boston's Committee of Safety, making journeys to New York and Philadelphia in its service. On April 16, 1775, he rode to nearby Concord to urge the patriots to move their military stores, which were endangered by pending British troop movements. By him riding there he saved the Americans from destruction of the American people. At this time he arranged to signal the patriots of the British approach by having lanterns placed in Boston's Old North Church steeple. Two days later he set out from Boston on his most famous journey to alert his countrymen that British troops were on the march, particularly in search of Revolutionary leaders John Hancock and Samuel Adams. He saved all of the Americans from the British. But he did not ride by himself he rode with his partner William Dawes and Samuel Prescott. Samuel Prescott then started for Concord, but they were soon stopped by a British patrol, and only Prescott got through. Revere was released by the British and returned on foot to Lexington. Because of Revere's warning, the Minutemen were ready the next morning on Lexington green for the historic battle that launched the American Revolution.
