Rhode Island city to improve access to general's grave

Gen. Greene

Officials in a Rhode Island city are embarking on a project to improve access to the grave of Civil War Brig. Gen. George Sears Greene. Greene, a cousin to Revolutionary War hero Gen. Nathanael Greene, is known for helping win the Battle of Gettysburg for the Union Army despite being more than 60 years old. The Providence Journal reports Warwick Mayor Joseph Solomon's office says the cemetery where Greene is buried will see a series of improvements, including adding a multi-tier staircase with handrails, interpretive signage panels and benches. • Article
