Paul Revere's 15 year old son was asked to stay behind in Boston while his family evacuated to Watertown from 1775-March of 1776, while the town was under a siege. We don't know a lot about Paul's life during this time, but there are a few tantalizing documents that make us wonder what the teenager's life was like. This episode describes what Paul Jr. could have experienced while living in a town under siege.
