In this week, we got a chance travel to the Paul Revere Home. Firstly, we went to downtown Cross, after visit many famous buildings. I found my destination-Paul Revere’s Home.
On the night of April 18, 1775, silversmith Paul Revere left his small wooden home in Boston's North End and set out on a journey that would make him into a legend. Now, his house still standing at 19 North Square and has become a national historic landmark. It is downtown Boston's oldest building and one of the few remaining from an early era in the history of colonial America.
Then I want talk a story about Paul Revere, he is a great man. Although most familiar as the hard-riding hero of Longfellow's poem. In fact, Paul Revere is an All-rounder. He did a soldier, goldsmith, dentist, artist and businessman is his life.
The highlight of his Whig activity came the night of April 18-19, 1775, when on Joseph Warren's orders he crossed the Charles River and rode to Lexington to warn Samuel Adams and John Hancock that British troops were coming through on their way to Concord. Revere got the word to the radical leaders, but a British patrol prevented any further progress. Once hostilities began, Revere once again joined the artillery, serving without note until the disastrous expedition to Castine, Maine.(From 《The Reader's Companion to American History》)
I faced to many red houses, I feel a strong came into my body. People did more work for society, and people to be great.
