Samuel Thomas Greene : a legend in the nineteenth century deaf community
Samuel Thomas Greene, born in 1843, grew up in Maine, attended North America's first permanent and publicly supported school for deaf children, in Hartford, Connecticut, and the world's first degree-granting college for deaf students, in Washington, D.C. Later, he became an accomplished teacher in Canada at a provincial school for the deaf in Belleville, Ontario. He was a multitalented man who made significant contributions to the development of the nineteenth century Deaf Community. Despite several stone edifices and other memorials that mark his existence, not a single book about him has been written---until now. This book documents Greene's life, providing an archival story that includes a selection of his original school compositions, letters, writings, and speeches along with a broad selection of photographs and other documented materials of interest
