SITES PAUL REVERE WOULD RECOGNIZE... If He Were In Boston Today!

Three main reasons for watching Katie's videos; 1st the history. Second. Highly entertaining, Third, love that accent. Really do not get to hear that in Kentucky!

[@mikes1097]

I agree on all three points!

[@sethdunlap9868]

What accent? Just joking... born and raised in Boston and I am well aware of how we sound. I find myself trying not to sound like it.

[@billb3454]

Just hearing her pronounce “Concord” as “Concud” is worth the wait for the videos. And I grew up in Boston!

[@davidgold5961]

I have spent my entire life in Boston - 56 years - and Katie has the most incredibly unvarnished Boston accent ever. It’s almost a caricature of a true Boston accent.

Katie, you've got me wanting to go to Massachusetts. I have many revolution era ancestors buried near Boston. To visit all the places you're taking us to would be very heart warming. I didn't notice your bandage but I hope you have no complications.Thank you for another interesting and informative video.

Omg ... that accent. After 30+ years living here in Boston, I pretty much stopped noticing the local accent and have even picked up a bit myself. Wicked thick.

I came for the accent and stayed for the history! Left Boston 6 years ago and really miss the beauty and the accent! Katie helps me remember how to talk propahlee! 😁

While far from disappeared, Katie's accent is less frequently encountered around eastern MA than it used to be. She has the absolute best accent for this video. 🙂

[@MrHandle70]

I am British, I know, I know, boo, hiss😅 I have only recently discovered Katies channel and I absolutely love it. Being Scottish my main interest over the years has centered on the history of my own clan and more recently the Border Reivers. Inexplicably the Revolutionary War is not taught to any great depth in Britain, which is a great shame. I recently decided to look in more depth at the War of Independence and decided to get an overview before committing to more in depth literature, so I thought I would give Katie a go. So far it has been fascinating, it is like having my own travel guide. And oh my lord, that accent, I could listen to her all day long.

[@miahconnell23]

What does our local accent sound like to people from the British Isles ? Does it sound more recognizable or more peculiar than the plain non-regional way people speak on nation-wide news broadcasts ?

[@StanSwan]

@@miahconnell23 At the time of the American Revolution Brits would have sounded more like Americans in the south than in Boston today. I dated a girl from the UK and we took trips to Boston and I had to translate for her. I am from western mass so grew up with Boston accents and dated her for a couple years. It is very different. In the UK they just use different words and phrases on top of the accent.

[@miahconnell23]

@@StanSwan Did she like your accent ? Did she speak King’s English with R.P. or did she have one of the different accents like Cornish or Northern English Working Class or something different like that ?

Katie, most people never visit the Romney marsh burial ground in revere ma. Soldiers of revolution buried there as well as early settlers from 1660’s as a kid many years ago I maintained the cemetery as part of a summer job with revere Dow.

[@Sam-lm8gi]

That's one thing I love about New England; the anachronistic ubiquitousness of weather-vanes, even on modern buildings. I'm sure Paul Revere would appreciate that, although he might be freaked out by the MBTA.

[@dj-kq4fz]

Cool topic, thanks! (I had to laugh at myself, when you said they were discussing what to do about the "T", my first thought was they started planning for the subway, South Station probably, a lot earlier than I remembered)

Hi Katie, did the freedom trail in grammar school 40 or so years ago, lol... I don't know if Revere's house is part of the trail, but we did a tour of his house and that was the coolest part i thought. Most recently i followed the freedom trail in Fallout 4, lol

Such a good video! I love the bit about the grasshopper over Faneuil Hall…learned something new today! Another area Revere would probably recognize is down by the Union Oyster House and Bell in Hand Tavern. The Bell in Hand (as well as the Green Dragon tavern, which no longer stands) were meeting places for the Sons of Liberty in the lead up to the Revolution. 😊

[@Gamble661]

Born just outside Boston and have worked in the city almost my entire life and...I'm a history buff. My daily walk from South Station to my office crossed paths with The Freedom Trial every day, School Street included. But it still wasn't until a few years ago that my wife, also a native, and I actually walked the Freedom Trail for the first time, we're both in our 50's. I was familiar with a lot of the sites along the trail but not all of them and even for us it was fascinating. At the end we chose to visit the USS Constitution instead of Bunker Hill, I'd already been to both in the past but the Constitution is really amazing and my favorite stop on the walk. It, more than anything else, makes you feel like you've gone back in time and it a perfect way to end the tour.

[@newenglandoutdoorlore]

That was a fun adventure! Many of the sites you've showed here, I've been to many times over the years brings back memories. Looking forward to the Paul Revere video. I toured his home a few times many years ago. When I lived in the North End I walked by his house every day to work. It must of been crowded having all those kids in there! lol. The MFA has a good collection of his silverware and I believe that famous painting Copley did is there, too. I did not know that grasshopper weather vane was the original from 1740's. Next time I go back I will definitely look for that.

[@rawheadjim]

Another fun video, thanks again Katy! It's a sad but true reflection of the current lack of awareness of our history, that you alluded to with the Boston Tea Party. I can't fathom anyone not knowing about that sentinel event, but you're probably correct in that lots of people don't. Let's hope at least all of your viewers are very familiar with it though! Best of luck with your recovery!

John, the biography of Samuel Adams by John C Miller contains a lot of good information on the Sons of Liberty. There should be some used copies on eBay which is where I found it. It was published in 1936 in Boston by Little, Brown and Company. Title: “Sam Adams, Pioneer in Propaganda”

I made a few business trips to Boston and really enjoyed the city. More human scale and not hectic like some other cities.

Sounds as if you possibly enjoy solitude more than the crowd yet you are an excellent communicator!

And more than likely his reaction to an explanation of it would have been, " What the ....!!!" Keep up the Great Work Katie!!! If our founders were alive today do you think they would be seen as honorable community leaders, or as enemies of the nation they helped to establish?
