Revere, Paul

The competition for the Revere statue in Boston started in 1883. Once Cyrus Dallin had been selected as the sculptor, it took years before his fifth version of the statue was accepted. Then the fundraising problems needed to be solved. It was thanks to a large private gift that the statue could be unveiled in 1940, some 57 years after the start of the process.
