 ul Revere. His name evokes images of the famous &ldquo\;Midnight Ride&rdqu
 o\; of April 18-19\, 1775. But there was so much more to the man than his 
 famous ride.</p>\n<p>He was a Master Goldsmith\, specializing in working w
 ith silver. He cut copper plates depicting famous events on the eve of the
  American Revolution. He was a dentist! He was a Son of Liberty and a Free
 mason. He was a Lt. Colonel in the Massachusetts Militia during the war\, 
 though his service was fraught with disappointments.</p>\n<p>After the war
 \, he helped gather support for ratification of the U.S. Constitution in B
 oston and became one of America&rsquo\;s first industrialists by casting b
 ells\, cannon\, and rolling copper at his mills in Boston and Canton\, Mas
 sachusetts. Most importantly\, he was a devoted husband and father.</p>\n<
 p>Hear his story as told by historical interpreter\, Michael Lepage\, culm
 inating with that night in April when he spread the alarm &ldquo\;to every
  Middlesex village and farm&rdquo\; that the regulars were coming out!&rdq
