Synopsis

Excerpt from Westerly (Rhode Island) And Its Witnesses, for Two Hundred and Fifty Years, 1626-1876: Including Charlestown, Hopkinton, and Richmond, Until Their Separate Organization, With the Principal Points of Their Subsequent History

Our work treats of the Township occupying the southwestern corner of the State of Rhode Island. The task, beginning with the first reliable reports Of the aborigines, and following the swift and changing current Of events through two hundred and fifty years, has been far greater than the ordinary reader will suspect. We found no pioneer annalist to guide us through the first hundred years, and but few historical pens to assist us in the second century embraced in our work. Animated, however, by a consciousness that the work was needed, and would be of great service to posterity, we have endeavored to overcome all difficulties, and have presented as com pleta a record as was possible under the circumstances.
