The Court-Martial of Paul Revere: A Son of Liberty and America’s Forgotten Military Disaster
LOCATION: The USS CONSTITUTION MUSEUM
Co-sponsored by Old South Meeting House, Paul Revere House and the USS Constitution Museum
Much of what we know about the iconic Paul Revere actually begins almost forty-three years after his death with the publication of Longfellow’s “Paul Revere’s Ride.” Written to galvanize the Union cause, the poem replaced fact with fiction and immediately propelled Revere to enduring fame. Revere, like many others, was indisputably loyal to the Revolutionary cause but possessed a personality far more complex than a single defining moment would suggest. Author Michael Greenburg will speak about the historical record of Paul Revere, from the Midnight Ride to his lesser-known trial by court-marital following the doomed Penobscot Expedition – a troubling and often ignored chapter in the life of this beloved American icon. Through this story we are reminded that even seasoned heroes of the American story faced very human antagonism if not open hostility from their contemporaries.
Wine and cheese reception 5:30-6:30. Lecture begins at 6:30pm. Book signing to follow.
FREE and open to the public, No pre-registration required. This program is made possible with funding from the Lowell Institute.
