Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a comprehensive narrative of the establishment and expansion of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations from the founding of the colony in 1636 to just before the American Revolutionary War. It traces the colony's development from a haven for religious dissenters under Roger Williams to a thriving commercial hub and eventually one of the thirteen original American colonies. The author has pieced together the story using political histories, religious chronicles, business records, and even personal accounts. The volume also includes analyses of available evidence to shed light on the origins of Native American tribes in the area, the arrival of European explorers, the eventual settling of the land by English colonists, and the founding of various towns and institutions. It is a history of conflicts, wars, and prejudices but also of cooperation, community, and progress. The book stands as an essential resource for anyone interested in the origins of Rhode Island and the United States and provides a complex and nuanced account of the period.
