Paul Revere's House Boston North End American Revolution War of Independence in Massachusetts MA USA
Paul Revere House in Boston North End with historical links to American Revolution War of Independence in Massachusetts MA USA - - The following Wikipedia articles cover details about Paul Revere's House and this famous Amercan patriot -- The Paul Revere House (1680) was the colonial home of American patriot Paul Revere during the time of the American Revolution. It is located at 19 North Square, Boston, Massachusetts, in the city's North End, and is now operated as a nonprofit museum by the Paul Revere Memorial Association. A small admission fee is charged...Paul Revere (December 21, 1734 -- May 10, 1818) was an American silversmith, early industrialist, and a patriot in the American Revolution. He is most famous for alerting Colonial militia of approaching British forces before the battles of Lexington and Concord, as dramatized in Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem, Paul Revere's Ride. Revere was a prosperous and prominent Boston silversmith, who helped organize an intelligence and alarm system to keep watch on the British military. Revere later served as a Massachusetts militia officer, though his service culminated after the Penobscot Expedition, one of the most disastrous campaigns of the American Revolutionary War, for which he was absolved of blame. Following the war, Revere returned to his silversmith trade and used the profits from his expanding business to finance his work in iron casting, bronze bell and cannon casting, and the forging of copper bolts and spikes. Finally in 1800 he became the first American to successfully roll copper into sheets for use as sheathing on naval vessels. Links to the relevant articles are on and

American Revolution: Paul Revere's Sons of Liberty Bowl: An American Icon
Paul Revere’s silver Sons of Liberty bowl, fashioned in the summer of 1768 to commemorate a courageous decision by the Massachusetts Legislature, is a major document of colonial America’s resistance to the English Parliament and crown. Hear how the bowl—with its references to Magna Carta, John Wilkes, and, above all, to Liberty—acquired by the MFA in 1949, touched a resonant chord in the American psyche at the height of the Cold War and continues to be an iconic symbol of American attitudes and values.

Paul Revere Monument
Within just a few minutes walk from PR house right on the Freedom Trail, Boston North End visitors will find two other landmarks connected with the name of Revere. Paul Revere Mall with an equestrian statue of the famous patriot and the Old North Church are both located just of the touristy Hanover Street.
The PR mall is a nice little brick-paved park with a fountain and shady trees. Other than the statue you can find tablets on the wall that describe the famous people and places in the history of the North End.
The statue of Revere is one of the most photographed sculptures in Boston. Not surprisingly the sculptor portrayed Revere during the famous Midnight Ride, but unlike many illustrations where PR is showing galloping full speed, the motion of the bronze Revere seems to more dignified.
Although the statue is one of the most recognized landmarks in Boston, it is hard to imagine that it has quite an uneasy history, taking 16 years to create and 40 years to install in its present place. The sculptor Cyrus Edwin Dallin began working on it in 1883, more than 20 years after the name of Revere was immortalized by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow in his poem in 1860. Dallin was not a Boston native but was at the time a teacher at the Masschusetts State Normal Art School when he received the contract. The final version was the 5th or 8th (by different accounts) created by the sculptor when the commission finalized the design in 1899. May be this was due to the fact that the sculptor was only 22 when he was awarded the contract. But it was not until September 22, 1940 when the statue was opened to public. Dallin died four years later in 1944.
Revere was one of the first famous works of the sculptor, but during his life he created more thatn 260 works. Other well recognized sculptures are the angel Moroni atop the Salt Lake City Temple which became a symbol of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the Appeal to the Great Spirit monument that currently stands in front of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.

Bunker Hill Battle & Monument - Boston, Massachusetts - Travels With Phil
Bunker Hill Battle & Monument - Boston, Massachusetts -
From Wikipedia : The Battle of Bunker Hill was fought on June 17, 1775, during the Siege of Boston in the early stages of the American Revolutionary War. The battle is named after Bunker Hill in Charlestown, Massachusetts, which was peripherally involved in the battle. It was the original objective of both the colonial and British troops, though the majority of combat took place on the adjacent hill which later became known as Breed's Hill.
On June 13, 1775, the leaders of the colonial forces besieging Boston learned that the British were planning to send troops out from the city to fortify the unoccupied hills surrounding the city, which would give them control of Boston Harbor. In response, 1,200 colonial troops under the command of William Prescott stealthily occupied Bunker Hill and Breed's Hill. During the night, the colonists constructed a strong redoubt on Breed's Hill, as well as smaller fortified lines across the Charlestown Peninsula.
By daybreak of June 17, the British became aware of the presence of colonial forces on the Peninsula and mounted an attack against them that day. Two assaults on the colonial positions were repulsed with significant British casualties; the third and final attack carried the redoubt after the defenders ran out of ammunition. The colonists retreated to Cambridge over Bunker Hill, leaving the British in control of the Peninsula.
The battle was a tactical, though somewhat Pyrrhic victory for the British, as it proved to be a sobering experience for them, involving many more casualties than the Americans had incurred, including a large number of officers. The battle had demonstrated that inexperienced militia were able to stand up to regular army troops in battle. Subsequently, the battle discouraged the British from any further frontal attacks against well defended front lines. American casualties were comparatively much fewer, although their losses included General Joseph Warren and Major Andrew McClary, the final casualty of the battle.
The battle led the British to adopt a more cautious planning and maneuver execution in future engagements, which was evident in the subsequent New York and New Jersey campaign, and arguably helped rather than hindered the American forces. Their new approach to battle was actually giving the Americans greater opportunity to retreat if defeat was imminent. The costly engagement also convinced the British of the need to hire substantial numbers of foreign mercenaries to bolster their strength in the face of the new and formidable Continental Army.
