More From Ripley's Believe It or Not
Paul Revere was a silversmith!
A famous one, and all his life…
And his father was a silversmith before him.
He also later worked with other metals, and was known for his copper mill, which produced (or maybe invented…. still gotta google it) rolled copper sheathing for ships.
Yes, he learned and did a bit of dentistry, and, being an expert metalworker, made dental tools….
but a barber-surgeon he was not.
To call him a dentist by trade is very odd.
