Description: This book delves into the fascinating history of a town in Rhode Island, chronicling its development from its humble beginnings in 1642 to the time of the book's publication. The author expertly weaves together accounts of the town's founding by a group of religious dissenters, their dramatic clashes with the authorities of Massachusetts, and the town's eventual integration into the fledgling colony of Rhode Island. The book delves into the complex relationship between the English settlers and the native Narragansett Indians, including their negotiations and treaties, as well as the tragic fate of their chief sachem, Miantonomi. The narrative highlights the enduring struggle for religious freedom, the tenacious spirit of the early settlers, and the unique political landscape of early America. The book offers a rich tapestry of events and individual stories, revealing how this town played a pivotal role in shaping the early history of the colony and contributing to the development of the region as a whole.
