 * Paul Revere was born in Boston, during the year 1735. He was an American Patriot, and was in The Sons of Liberty, The Long Room Club, and carried messages to other towns for The Sons of Liberty. He was a Major in the Massachusetts Militia, and served as one for many years. He was in the Boston Tea Party, had sixteen children, designed and made money, opened a gun powder factory, and was an expert silversmith. During 1775, Paul made his famous midnight ride, even though he //was// stopped, he got away from two British Officers, he wrote: "One tryed to git a head of me, and the other to take me, I turned my horse very quick, and galloped towards Charlestown neck, and then pushed for Medford Road. The one who chased me, endeavoring to cut me off, got into a Clay Pond, near where the new tavern in now built. I got clear of him...." The other officer tried to catch Paul, but thanks to Brown Beauties speed, the other officer was soon left behind.[[image:http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e1/Boston_Massacre_high-res.jpg/514px-Boston_Massacre_high-res.jpg width="250" height="249" align="left"]]**=====
