"If we don't get any kids (lifeguards) soon, we won't be able to open the pool." With that, the issue of hiring lifeguards for the summer was introduced.

In 1774 and 1775, the Boston Committee of Correspondence and the Massachusetts Committee of Safety employed Paul Revere as an express rider to carry news, messages, and copies of important docum...
