If These Walls Could Talk…
Nathanael Greene: A Biography of the American Revolution
In writing his book Nathanael Greene: A Biography of the American Revolution, Gerald Carbone drew on his 25 years of research experience as a newspaper reporter to ferret out the facts on this overlooked hero. Much of the biography was previously published in serial form in the Providence Journal, and Carbone has been recognized as an expert on Greene by the Blackstone Valley Tourism Council, the University Club of Providence, and the RIHS.
