Paul Revere is remembered for his famous ride, but he’s essential for much, much more. As I argue in The Revolutionary Paul Revere argues, his story embodies the American struggle for independence and self-determination.
Revere was an ordinary citizen living in turbulent times. Smack dab in the thick of it, Revere played key roles in colonial tax fights and riots, the aftermath of the infamous Boston Massacre, the Tea Party, the Battle of Lexington and Concord, even the ratification of the U.S. Constitution—not to mention the personal trial of a largely unknown military court martial.
This fast-paced, dramatic account explores Revere’s family and social life along with his revolutionary contribution as a spy, entrepreneur, express rider, freemason, and commercial visionary.
The story of Paul Revere—a hero of Massachusetts, a hero of America—was never more timely. Nor has it ever been better told than by Joel J. Miller. The Revolutionary Paul Revere gallops along with all the drama and intrigue of a great novel, highlighting what makes Revere so essential in the story of America’s founding and its growth as a force fro freedom in the world. This is a vibrant, vital, and wonderful story.
