He also had an illustrious career as an engraver, silversmith, watchmaker and soldier.\u003c/p\u003e\nRevere is noted for his engraving of \u003ca href=\"/earlyamerica/boston-massacre/\"\u003eThe Boston Massacre\u003c/a\u003e, portraying the victims shot and killed by the British Military in an altercation on King Street on March 5 of 1770. Revere's reproduction of his print of the massacre helped spur the colonies to break their relationship with Great Britain.\n\nRevere's reputation as an engraver on copper was wide-spread. In addition all agreed he was the finest silversmith sculpting and designing in the colonies.\n\nAs a peripheral character of the Revolution, Paul Revere represents the countless acts of those who advanced the cause of freedom. \u003ca href=\"/earlyamerica/lives-early-america/true-story-paul-revere/\"\u003eHis famous ride\u003c/a\u003e immortalized by the poet Longfellow is an emblem for all the unsung acts performed by unsung men and women during that time. His famous ride on the night of the 18th of April, 1775, remained unsung, if not unhonored, for eighty-eight years, or until Longfellow in 1863 made it the text for his Landlord's Tale in the Wayside Inn.\n\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/oAO2E2sDbHc?rel=0\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"\u003e\u003c/iframe\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"/earlyamerica/videos/\"\u003eSee The Rest of Our Videos About Early America!\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ul\u003e","menu":[{"path":"lives-early-america","title":"Famous Lives","submenu":[{"path":"lives-early-america/autobiography-benjamin-franklin","title":"Autobiography of Ben Franklin"},{"path":"lives-early-america/ramsays-life-washington","title":"Ramsay's The Life of Washington"},{"path":"lives-early-america/adventures-col-daniel-boone","title":"The Adventures of Col.
