About this episode

This episode explores the lesser-known aspects of Paul Revere's life beyond his famous midnight ride.

On today’s episode of founded we’re finding out about Paul revere and who he was when he wasn’t riding a horse at midnight. In fact, we hardly even talk about that part of Paul’s life. As it turns out Paul Revere played a major role in the revolution but often his story is reduced to “guy on horse with lanterns who was also a silversmith”. Paul was way more than that though, he was also a dentist (and more). Sources ⁠⁠Click Here for Merch⁠⁠ Find the video version of ⁠⁠Founded on Youtube⁠⁠ We want to hear from you!
