Book Title: Samuel Thomas Greene: A Legend in the Nineteenth Century Deaf Community, softcover, 224 pages, 6"X9" 33 black and white photos throughout ISBN 1-55306-956-0, Retail price: $29.95 CAD.

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.
