He completed several tours of duty, during which he travelled to Mexico, Cuba, Liberia, France, Germany, Greece, Egypt, Portugal, Spain, Algeria, and Italy.

The courtship would be delayed due to Revere joining the United States Exploring Expedition in 1838, the first American squadron [7][8] to circumnavigate the globe.

[1] According to the Sonoma Museum, Revere enslaved Coast Miwok people, native to the Marin County area, and used their "forced...labor" to operate the plantation.

[1] Revere dedicated the book to John Y. Mason, secretary of the Navy 1844–1849, stating "[his] able and upright discharge of his public duties has won for him the respect and applause of his countrymen.

"[20] The memoir was advertised in the Boston Evening Transcript, the Charleston Courier, the Baltimore Sun, The Living Age, The United States Democratic Review, and the Richmond Enquirer.

Revere states, "I have often hunted [deer] with Don Timoleo Murphy and his pack of [grey]hounds, and a more gallant sport cannot be found in the wide world.

"[20] After attending a Pui Day (Feast Day), Revere states,Like most savages, [the Indians of California] reason with a rude but true philosophy, that the loss of a life so hard and precarious as theirs is little to be regretted...To give them civil rights, on an equality with the whites, would be more absurd than to grant such rights to children under ten years of age...When it is remembered, that small-pox is not the only desolating disease which follows in the wake of the white man, and that his rum has proved among our Indians as fatal as his natural disorders, it is very clear, that unless measures be promptly taken to protect and preserve the inoffensive natives of California, the present generation will live to read the epitaph of the whole race.In A Tour of Duty, Revere also demonstrates his support of Manifest destiny: he states that the "Anglo-Saxon race...seems destined to possess the whole of the North American Continent.

He did not describe the affair and subsequent proceedings in 1872 biographical novel Keel and Saddle, claiming instead that he resigned due to lack of promotion opportunities.

[23][6] The same year, Revere formed a coastal trading business with Sandy McGregor, for which they purchased La Golondrina, a ship built in Spain that could hold a crew of 25.

[6][further explanation needed] Revere and McGregor fought and possibly murdered the Mexican attackers allowing the Spanish "crew of seventeen men and one woman" to escape.

[24][25][6] Soon afterward, Revere and McGregor dissolved their partnership and sold the vessel "to a group of Englishmen hoping to find gold in Australia.

[6] However, after multiple revolts, Arista resigned and was exiled from the country, prompting Revere to quit the position and move to Morristown, New Jersey.

Once the land was his, he contracted local master carpenter Ashbel Bruen of Chatham to construct a unique mansion on the hill, which Revere helped design.

[clarification needed] Revere's most personally challenging moment of his Civil War career came after the Battle of Chancellorsville when blame was being assigned for the Union Army's loss.

[44] As the battle lacked a clear front line, Revere commanded his troops (the Army of the Potomac) to reform at a point set by compass.

[40] This three-mile march, described by Revere as a "regrouping effort" and not a retreat, led to his being court-martialed as ordered by General Joseph Hooker.

I believed myself to be the division commander...My men were worn with the marches and battles of four days, with want of rest and food for the last twenty-four hours, and with sharp fighting for the last four, and were nearly out of ammunition...I [was] sensible of the responsibility involved, but confident that it was the only course for bringing my troops speedily into efficient service...

To sum up all in a few words,—after the fight was ended, left without orders, and crowded off the field, I led away a handful of worn and disorganized men towards a point where, in my belief, an action might even then be going on, and brought them back within six hours, after retiring less than three miles, two thousand strong, refreshed and resupplied.

On all that Court, eminent as most of its members were, there was not one who was not my junior in length of employment in the United States service...At least, with such a record, I had a right to expect from the Court, even with my defence [sic] unheard, greater lenity than is shown in this cruel sentence...[43]In 1863, General J. Egbert Farnum defended Revere's reputation in a letter, concluding with, "[F]or the careless and inconsiderate slanders that have been circulated [in New York City newspapers], affecting you as a brave man, and an honorable soldier, I am with you responsible.

[45][47] In the pamphlet's conclusion, the author uses Socratic questioning to imply that Joseph Hooker made larger mistakes than Revere without repercussions, and the last line invokes a quote from Act II Scene II of Shakespeare's 1604 play, Measure for Measure:[49][50][51]Why should charges be preferred against Revere for "neglect of duty, &c.," in leaving on the field the arms of the killed and wounded, and wasting ammunition fired at the enemy by his command, and why should Hooker get off unscathed, after having, the very next day, ingloriously abandoned the same field, in presence of an inferior force of rebels, in opposition to all his generals in conucil [sic], except the Mephistophiles [sic] of these proceedings, leaving not only arms, equipments, and ammunition, but immense stores of all kinds for Lee's especial delectation, and his wounded to the care of the rebel surgeons?

[1] These included Nehemiah Perry, George Middleton, and William G. Steele; they sent a petition on January 29, 1864, stating they felt "the judgement of the court martial in the case of Brig.

[1] On August 3, 1866, surgeon Dr. Lewis Fisher examined Revere, who stated he was "totally incapacitated for obtaining his subsistence by manual labor."

[1] After his resignation, Revere began traveling the globe and continued writing autobiographies, but his health had been affected by his Civil War service.

A beautiful chestnut, 12 1/2 hands high, the fastest four mile horse in the State; and of great endurance and bottom, in perfect health.

In order to afford the Farmers of Morris County an opportunity to refresh their stock, terms will be low; viz., $25 to insure and $12 cash for a single occasion.

[2] It was published by James R. Osgood & Co.[2] The chapters detail his military-related travels and acquaintances in countries including (chronologically) Mexico, Cuba, Liberia, France, Germany, Greece, Egypt, Portugal, Spain, Algeria, and Italy.

[53][54] In 1872's Keel and Saddle, after detailing his experience freeing a ship of enslaved people, Revere wrote, "None of us could understand a word the slaves uttered: indeed, they appeared hardly to possess the organ of speech, so deeply guttural and barbarous was their uncouth dialect, - more like the chattering of baboons than any human jargon...In my opinion, extensive colonization is the only practical mode of benefiting 'benighted Africa.

[Unintelligible] Secretary[55]In 1875, while touring near Vienne in southeast France, by chance he visited the ruined chateau of his De Rivoire ancestors.

[citation needed] Circa the 1870s, a posthumous biography claims Revere's health was "completely shattered by wounds and diseases incurred in service and his existence became one of unbroken suffering.

In 1888, Joseph Sabin included Revere's novels and pamphlets in Volume 17 of Bibliotheca Americana, a record of books relating to America.
