Discussion Quote

Click on the picture to enlarge the the quote (right) from Paul Revere.  What do you think he meant?  Do Mr. Revere's words still ring true?  ​Discuss the quote in class.

I don't know if Paul Revere was addicted to work.  It is obvious that he did a lot of it, keeping himself busy in several ways in the age of original United States patriotism.  Mr. Revere held at least four distinct and interesting "jobs" that supported his family and the fledging nation.
Picture

First Job

Picture
It's your turn.  Let's make Mr. Revere proud!

​We will work through the instructions on this Make It...a Wonderful Life blog page to make our own aluminum foil decorations.

We may also "monogram" some of the stainless forks or spoons in our school cafeteria before all is said and done about Paul Revere.
Paul's first job, the one he is known for, was as a silversmith.  The newspaper advertisement to the left was for the products he created (Keep in mind that s's appearing in the middle of a word often looked like f​'s in those days.)
  • What materials did Revere (and son) use to make their wares?
  • What products did they make and sell?
This first video below shows a demonstration of the type of work Revere did in his shop.  The second video explains how silverware is made today.
  • Which is more interesting?  Why?
  • Which would you rather own?  Why?

Second Job

Picture
To see more about how currency (paper money) is made today, watch this:
  • If you designing paper money for our school, what might you include in the design?
  • How would you keep people from counterfeiting your money?
Paul Revere engraved plates for printing on paper, sometimes creating art that expressed political beliefs (as in his famous rendition of the Boston Massacre, left), and even making some of the first colonial currency (below)  Printing on paper was not a matter of using a rubber stamp bought at the craft store.  It involved much more, including the developed talent for intricately carving fine lines into the metal plate.

Third Job

Few people realize that Paul Revere also worked as a dentist.  Says the Paul Revere House website:

He also practiced as a dentist from 1768 to 1775, to the extent that his time and skills allowed. He cleaned teeth, fastened in false teeth and sold toothpaste. Contrary to popular myth, he did not make George Washington’s false teeth. There is no evidence he made full sets of dentures.
He even made the first positive identification of a dead body, basing his findings on the dental work that he performed on his friend Major General Joseph Warren.  Warren had died in the Battle of Bunker Hill.  Learn more about this by viewing this short clip (left) from Stars and Stripes.

Fourth Job

Art Appreciation

Before moving to Revere's fourth "job", take the time to study the  artwork (right).  This painting, entitled The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere​, was produced by Grant Wood.​
  • What do you notice?
  • What do you wonder?
  • What is happening?
  • Write your thoughts.
Picture
Picture
Another map (this one interactive) of the ride(s) is located on the website for Paul Revere's house in Boston.

Music Appreciation

Revolution
Yes, Paul Revere made a famous ride, but first he served in the military and in politics.  Earlier, he was involved in planning the Boston Tea Party and spreading the word of the event.  The ride itself (Study the map, left.), meant to warn people the regular British army was arriving by water, was probably more complicated than can be quickly explained.  Hopefully the resources here will be useful in understanding what actually happened.
