Paul Revere was an American industrialist and a Patriot in the American Revolution, who devised an intelligence and alarm system to alert the Colonial militia of a British invasion. By profession, he was a silversmith and an engraver. His social position as a middle-class craftsman and his close contact with other social groups might have helped him in such matters. He also drew the attention of the public by various engravings such as the arrival of British troops in 1778, Boston Massacre of 1770 etc. Indeed, he was a successful propagandist and an organizer. At the same time, his activities were not limited to that alone. He also took active part in the Boston Tea Party that escalated the American Revolution. His mid night ride to Lexington on April 18, 1775 has been immortalized by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s poem, ‘Paul Revere’s Ride’. After the war, he went back to his profession and made a lot of money by producing articles of mass consumption. He then used the profit to set up a metal casting furnace and produce bronze bells, canons and copper bolts and spikes. Thus he became one of the early industrialists of the United States of America.
