Description

Modern writers have begun to explore the lives of the "silent majority" of men and women who left few historical records and whose reputation rarely spread beyond their town's borders. Tracing the ownership of a plot of land in what is now Dover, Electa W. Kane offers an insight into one of these "silent" families: The Richards.
