He was so prominent that I’d expect historians to have mentioned his participation early on.<br /><br />The linkage of the merchant Nathaniel Greene of Boston to the event isn’t very strong; he wasn’t that radical politically, and most of the men involved weren’t merchants but working-men of various sorts. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Greene family made a wishful claim after his death.<br /><br />That said, a Nathaniel Greene in Boston seems <br />a far more likely candidate to be the man listed in <i>Traits of the Tea Party</i> than a Rhode Islander.J.
