Paul Revere did not get up on the horse and say, ‘I’m going to do this for the rest of my life.’ He didn’t do it. He got off the horse at some point and fought in the Revolution.

Very, very unsuccessfully. Possibly even dishonorably.

"Very, very unsuccessfully. Possibly even dishonorably."

Bernard Cornwall came out with a book about this disasterous little known Revolutionary War campaign last year. Called "The Fort". Suffice to say, Paul Revere was best at being a silversmith.
