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. It will help preserve
Greene’s legacy for many generations and will be a resource for
future writers to expand on to further share his extraordinary
story. This biography also is a valuable addition to the growing
collection of Deaf profiles that readers can enjoy.
