How Robin Hood Once Was a Wait: A Miracle Play or Christmas Masque

Rowland Gibson Hazard

Rowland Gibson Hazard was an American industrialist, politician, textile merchant, and social reformer. He was a descendant of the prominent settler Thomas Hazard, progenitor of the American Hazard Family, who migrated from England during the Great Puritan Migration of 1630 and settled Rhode Island in the 1600s. While he had links to southern slaveholding states, he is noted for his public stand against slavery.
