Social networking is considered a thoroughly modern idea, but in this lecture by noted scholar Jeannine Falino, we will learn how Paul Revere pioneered the idea in the second half of the eighteenth century. Falino will examine how Revere used his family connections and social contacts, which included Masonic organizations, to create the most successful business model of all the Boston silversmiths in his generation. Question and answer session to follow.
