About This Book

The piece traces the civic and symbolic life of Faneuil Hall from Peter Faneuil’s gift of a market with an assembly chamber and its reconstruction after fire to its role as a public forum where colonists denounced measures such as the Stamp Act, responded to the Boston Massacre, opposed tea imports, and petitioned other provinces; it also recounts banquets for national figures and later orations by prominent speakers. A companion section profiles Paul Revere, noting his Huguenot descent and work as a metal craftsman, his participation in patriotic societies and the Tea Party, earlier rides that secured arms and powder, and the later popularization of his midnight ride.
