Dr. Fred Zilian provided the following information about his presentation — “ Rhode Island’s own General Nathanael Greene does make the history books, but he is not given enough credit for his accomplishments in over two years as Quartermaster General heading the army’s logistical system, nor for the high esteem in which he was held by Commander in Chief George Washington. Giving him due credit, this lecture will examine his life before the war, his many contributions in the war, and his life thereafter.”
