Paul Revere has been immortalized in American history—from midnight rider, to artist and renowned silversmith, merely uttering the name tends to spark thoughts of the ideal “Revolutionary Patriot.” This is not to say he did not play a significant role in the colonies’ fight for independence from Britain, but it is important to note that in some cases, Revere’s “accomplishments” were not truly his own. In fact, the true stories, at least in my eyes, are a whole lot more interesting and complex than the mythology.
