Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into a fascinating and previously unknown chapter in Rhode Island history, exploring the controversy surrounding a deed given by Native American sachems to Roger Williams in 1638. The author meticulously dissects the historical record, uncovering compelling evidence that points to a deliberate forgery within the document. Through an examination of the deed's language, the author reveals how certain clauses were likely inserted after the fact, potentially to seize control of vast tracts of land in Rhode Island. The book goes beyond the mere accusation of forgery, exploring the complex social and political landscape of 17th-century Rhode Island. It highlights the clash between the traditional communal system of land tenure and the rising tide of individual land ownership, a dynamic that played out across early America. The author masterfully demonstrates how the struggle over land ownership reflected broader tensions between colonists and Native Americans, as well as the evolving legal frameworks that governed the nascent colony. The bookââ â¢s compelling analysis reveals the deep-seated motivations behind the alleged forgery, exposing the ambitious schemes of individuals like William Harris who sought to amass vast fortunes and control over Rhode Islandââ â¢s land. The author's thorough research paints a vivid picture of a historical conflict with ramifications that continue to shape the landscape of Rhode Island today. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
