Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Green was born in Amelia County, Virginia,Eicher,Warner, to Nathan and Mary (Field) Green. The family moved to Tennessee in 1817 when Green was still an infant. He attended Jackson College in Tennessee and Princeton College in Kentucky before he received a degree from the University of Tennessee in 1834. He then studied law with his father, a prominent judge on the Tennessee Supreme Court.When the Texas Revolution began, Green left Tennessee to join the rebel volunteers. He arrived in Nacogdoches in December 1835 and enlisted in Isaac N. Moreland''s company on January 14, 1836. During the April 21 Battle of San Jacinto, Green helped operate the famed "Twin Sisters" cannons, the only artillery present in Sam Houston''s army. A few days after the decisive victory, Houston rewarded Green with a commission as a lieutenant. In early May he was promoted to major and assigned as the aide-de-camp to General Thomas J. Rusk. With hostilities over, Green resigned on May 30 and returned to Tennessee to resume studying law.
