Boston Born, Boston Died

Paul Revere was first and foremost a silversmith just an ordinary guy making a living.

He was also a currier which is probably why he had his midnight ride, he did what he knew.

His fame came after the fact because some dude wrote a poem. Longfellow wrote a poem because that is what he knew.

Revere died at the age of 84, retired




His stone sits in the back of the graveyard, quiet away from the noise of Tremont Street and not too big, not so different than the others.
