Synopsis
Excerpt from Documentary History of Rhode Island, Vol. 2: Being the History of the Towns of Portsmouth and Newport to 1647 and the Court Records of Aquidneck
The previous volume contained a history of the towns of Providence and Warwick to 1649 and of the Colony to 1647. This volume covers the towns of Portsmouth and Newport. As the early Portsmouth town records have been carefully printed and are easily accessible, those after the reunion of the two towns (1640) have not been included in this volume.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the captivating story of the founding of Portsmouth and Newport, Rhode Island, in the early 17th century. Exploring the context of the initial settlement of this region, the author meticulously recounts the visits of European explorers, including the famed Verrazzano and Captain Block, who charted the area's landscape and provided some of the earliest written records of the native inhabitants. The book then shifts its focus to the arrival of the Antinomian leaders, a group seeking religious freedom from the puritanical norms of their time. The author details the negotiations, compacts, and deeds that led to the establishment of a new community, highlighting the role of figures like John Clark, William Coddington, and Roger Williams in securing land from the native sachems. The reader will be transported to a time of religious and political upheaval as they witness the formation of a fledgling government and the adoption of a unique dating system by the settlers. The book's exploration of early Rhode Island provides a nuanced perspective on the intersection of religious dissent, land acquisition, and the formation of government in a rapidly changing colonial landscape. Through its detailed accounts and rich historical context, this book offers invaluable insight into the beginnings of one of America's most prominent and enduring states.
