A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Providence, R. I., was founded by Roger Williams, in 1636. Three years later Richard Smith had built a trading-post near the present village of Wickford, R. I., and with the consent of the Indian princes and people, improved a large tract of land. Living in his family was John Greene, the first of the Quidnesset Greenes. Nothing is known of his previous history. It is supposed that he came with Smith from Gloucestershire, England. There were two other men of the same name settled in Rhode Island about this time, John Greene of Newport, and a surgeon, John Greene, who settled in Warwick, the first of the Warwick Greenes, to which family General Nathaniel Greene belonged. With these two John Greene of Quidnesset probably had no family relationship. John, Benjamin, John, three generations, remained in the original district; but Thomas, of the fourth generation, in 1765 settled near what is now called Shannock Mills. In this vicinity lived John, A llen, Stephen, representing the fifth, sixth, and seventh generations. They were all tillers of the soil; but Allen served in the army of the Revolutionary War, and was a pensioner when he died, in 1833.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections – such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue.
