BEHIND THE CRAFT
Behind the Craft - Paul Revere
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's acclaimed poem "Paul Revere's Ride" immortalizes the Boston silversmith and patriot who warned colonists of an impending British attack. The poem recounts how Revere, learning that British troops were leaving Boston to arrest Sons of Liberty leaders Samuel Adams and John Hancock in Lexington, arranged for two lanterns to be hung in the Old North Church steeple to signal British movements across the Charles River.
The year 2025 marks the 250th anniversary of Revere's historic midnight journey on April 18, 1775, when he departed from his North Boston home on horseback alongside William Dawes. Together, they successfully reached Adams and Hancock in Lexington, delivering their crucial warning and allowing the revolutionary leaders to escape capture by British forces.

Stories
250th Anniversary of "Paul Revere's Ride"
During the American Revolution, Paul Revere, an American silversmith and military officer, became a folk hero for his midnight ride on April 18, 1775. As a member of the Sons of Liberty, he supported the Patriot cause and played a crucial role when British troops approached. Patriots had learned of planned British actions against the Massachusetts Provincial Congress and revolutionary leaders Samuel Adams and John Hancock. Revere's mission was to alert them and help them avoid arrest.
Revere first placed two lanterns on the Old North Church steeple in Boston as a signal, then rode out on horseback with William Dawes at about 10 p.m. They successfully reached Adams and Hancock in Lexington, warning them and the minutemen of British movements. This advance notice contributed significantly to the Patriot victory in the battles at Lexington and Concord. Revere's ride was later immortalized in Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's 1861 poem "Paul Revere's Ride," which, despite some historical inaccuracies, cemented his place in American cultural memory.
