What was Paul Revere's profession?

Thank you, Sandra, for your many well researched answers.

I have a silver spoon his son made.

In popular culture it is Paul Revere but it wasn't him. in fact it was Israel Bissell, a patriot post rider in Massachusetts who brought news to American colonists of the British attack on Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775.

knowbrains, No, Apothecary is the person. The shop doesn't have a special name, it's just 'An Apothecary's shop'.

knowbrains, So is a pharmacist, both the profession and the business.

Would have liked to break bread with him. ;0)

A great American!
