Excerpt from An American Hero, the Story of William Lloyd Garrison When the new settlers landed, their first business was to find a home; and their search ended in a wooden house in School Street, where they rented from Martha Farnham, the wife of a coasting captain, some rooms that she did not need for her own use. One end of the dwelling, which from this time held two families, was joined to a. Chapel; at the other end lay a little garden. There were five windows above, and two at each side, of the narrow doorway; and in front ran the public highway, busy with the traffic of foot-passengers and heavily laden wains, sheltered at intervals with well-grown chestnut-trees.
