SAMUEL THOMAS GREENE A Legend in the Nineteenth Century Deaf Community Clifton F. Carbin 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. Clifton F. Carbin is a Deaf freelance researcher and writer, specializing in Canadian Deaf historical subjects. His previous book was Deaf Heritage in Canada: A Distinctive, Diverse, and Enduring Culture.

Winner of the Ontario Historical Society’s Fred Landon Award for Best Regional History. Belleville, on the shores of the Bay of Quinte, traces its beginnings to the arrival of the United Empire Loyalists. For 30 years the centre of the present city was reserved for the Mississauga First Nation. White settlers who built dwellings and businesses on the land paid annual rent to them until the land was "surrendered" and a town plot laid out in 1816. The new town quickly became an important lumbering, farming, and manufacturing centre. Early influences include the Marmora Iron Works of the 1820s, the first railway in 1856, Ontario’s first gold rush in 1866, and prominent citizens such as noted pioneer author Susanna Moodie and Sir Mackenzie Bowell, Canada’s fifth prime minister. This is a personal history of Belleville, based on Gerry Boyce’s half-century of research. Embedded throughout are interesting and obscure stories about scandals, murders, and hauntings — the underbelly of the growth of a city.
