註釋

Four small soft-bound vols. of Greene's autobiography, handwritten in pencil but are legible and in good condition. The second vol. contains a rewritten version of the first vol. with a few original pages. Subjects include Greene's family, including notes on his ancestors, going back to Roger Sherman, signer of the Declaration of Independence; his father's involvement with the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions and his own subsequent involvement with the religious community. He provides details of his childhood, education, and unusual events, information on farming methods and crops grown; travels down the Mississippi with insight as to the differences between the north and south during the era leading up to the Civil War; arrival in Washington Territory in the 1870s; descriptions of first views of Olympia; the mission at Neah Bay and the Makah Indians; Seattle (sparsely populated at the time) and towns nearby; and general view of his travels and observations in Washington Territory.
