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.

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.

[@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.

[@edwardbain5391]

Hey Katie, Thank you so much! Great video tour!!! God bless and hope you are recovering well Dear! Really appreciate your enthusiasm and energy! Sounds as if you possibly enjoy solitude more than the crowd yet you are an excellent communicator! Your sadness and shock at the visitation of Paul's resting place is noteworthy.I think we all know Paul would not have recognized the flag hanging on Kings Chapel on Fremont St.. 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? No need to reply yet it is a question each of us should reflect on in these times! Take care and look forward to your future teachings.

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!

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”

Welcome back. Your detailed videos are really appreciated and fill in lots of information left out of the generalities we typically get. I made a few business trips to Boston and really enjoyed the city. More human scale and not hectic like some other cities. It's also great the way so much history has been preserved, and meshes with the city. If I recall what the guide told me, Paul Revere's home is the only remaining 18th century wooden home in Boston. Thank you. Never lose your accent.

Katie, I get so excited when you post a new video I stop everything to watch.

I love the energy of your videos, they're an I-V of Boston Revolutionary history - SO good! I've lived away so long I've lost my accent, so listening to you is the comforting sound of home. Keep up the great work; I can't wait for your next post. :)

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

[@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.

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.

[@johnconnery1939]
