Book excerpt: Bristol, Rhode Island (Mount Hope) boasts a history unlike that of any other place in America. Home of the great Wampanoag sachem Massasoit and later his son, Philip, after King Philip¿s War Mount Hope belonged to the Pilgrims of Plymouth, then to the Puritans of Massachusetts, and finally, in 1747, became part of Rhode Island.The ¿legends¿ in this remarkable book are not legends at all, but historical fact, every word of which is true:Vikings who visited in the year 1000; a mysterious rock and its enigmatic engravings; the friendship between the Pilgrim Edward Winslow and the Wampanoag sachem Massasoit; the battle in which King Philip was killed by an Indian soldier serving under Benjamin Church; the squaw-sachem Awashonks, who sided first with Philip, then with the English;American patriots who burned the British ship Gaspee in 1772 (the first hostile act of the Revolution); the bombardment by the British in 1775 and the wanton burning of Bristol three years later; the friendship between George Washington and Senator William Bradford;extraordinary characters such as Jabez Howland, a lieutenant under Benjamin Church; John Crowne, Harvard¿s first playwright, who laid claim to the land at Mount Hope; housewife Smith who gave such a tongue-lashing to two British soldiers that they let her keep her silver teapot; and a shipwrecked sailor who so reeked of tobacco that the cannibals who ate his companions refused to eat him.Printed for private circulation in 1915, Some Legends of ¿Mount Hope¿ is now extremely rare, with only a handful of copies in existence. This Rock Village Publishing edition is an expansion of the original, with an introduction and addenda by Edward Lodi.with illustrations

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 318 years since the town's founding, Bristol has endured a number of severe natural disasters and other devastating trials, only to triumph in the end. At first bombed, raided, and burned by the British, in later years Bristol saw the collapse of her banks and the painful demise of local industry. In addition, disastrous storms have pounded her shores, at one time destroying the town's commercial fleet. Through all this, however, Bristol has endured, a testament to the tenacity of the town's colorful citizens. From adventurous privateers and wealthy industrialists to hardy fisherman and skilled laborers, members of the Bristol community have struggled and succeeded together.

Download or read book Historic Tales of Colonial Rhode Island written by Richard V. Simpson and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2012-11-27 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Roger Williams purchased the fertile Aquidneck Island from the Narragansett tribe in 1637. It was here that Anne Hutchinson, along with William Coddington and other colonists who had been banished from the Massachusetts Bay Colony, found shelter from persecution. The intrepid dissenters of Rhode Island Colony saw their community flourish with the founding of Portsmouth and Newport townships. The Battle of Rhode Island was the only clash between American colonials and the British on Rhode Island soil during the Revolutionary War. From the mercantile success of the Atlantic triangle trade routes to the establishment of the United States Navy, noted historian Richard V. Simpson brings these and other stories from the Ocean State to life. Join Simpson as he explores the landmarks and architecture of the period to discover the remnants of Rhode Island's colonial past.
