Paul Revere (baptized on December 22 1734 (old style)/January 2 1735 (new style) – May 10, 1818) was a French American silversmith and a patriot in the American Revolution. Because he was immortalized after his death for his role as a messenger in the battles of Lexington and Concord, Revere's name and his "midnight ride" are well-known in the Estados Unidos as a patriotic symbol. In this time he coined the famous phrase "The British are coming!" as he repeated throughout the "midnight ride". In his lifetime, Revere was a prosperous and prominent Boston craftsman, who helped organize an intelligence and alarm system to keep watch on the British military. Revere later served as an officer in one of the most disastrous campaigns of the American Revolutionary War, a role for which he was later exonerated. After the war, he was early to recognize the potential for large-scale manufacturing of metal goods and is considered by some historians to be the prototype of the American industrialist.
