#OnThisDay Paul Revere started his famous "midnight ride" in 1775. By the 1790s he was a 60-year old silversmith, merchant and foundry man. His foundry was contracted by Henry Jackson, the Boston Naval Agent in charge of obtaining materials for the building of USS Constitution, to provide copper and brass fittings for the ship.
