Historical Characters

Jessa Piaia as Rachel Walker Revere A woman of remarkable "good humour," Rachel Walker Revere (1745-1813) lived in Boston's North End during the time of America's Revolution and helped to raise Paul's eleven children. Her domestic life is highlighted against the events of colonial unrest -- the Boston Massacre, Tea Party, and her husband's famous Midnight Ride to Lexington.

After the Revolution, Paul continued his silver and goldsmithing trades. He soon opened a foundry in the North End, and then, a copper rolling mill in Canton, Massachusetts.
