| Paul Revere (Yahoo images) |
Paul was born 1/1/1735 in Boston. His father Appollos Rivoiro changed his name to Revere after arriving to the new colonies. Paul's first wife died, and he married again shortly after. He had many children to both women.
On 12/16/1773 Paul participated in the Boston Tea Party dressed as an indian. The colonists were protesting the tax the King of England put on tea. As we all know this made the king very angry.
On 4/18/1775 Dr. Warren gave the orders to watch the church tower for lanterns. One if by land, and two by sea. Soon would be the shot heard round the world. He died on 5/10/1818.
All he really wanted was a place to raise his children. A place were they could be free. A place to earn a good living. To do this he had to make that place. That is why he is a true hero to me.

Heroes to me are ordinary people that do extraordinary accomplishments. That is why I choose Paul Revere.
