Book excerpt: Excerpt from Celebration of the Two-Hundredth Anniversary of the Settlement of the Town of Bristol: Rhode Island, September 24th, A. D. 1880 The compiler of this book was content to let it pass to the reader, without comment A preface was not contemplated. But as the last pages are passing through the press, suddenly, almost without warning, the hand of death has fallen upon Prof. J. Lewis Diman. As to him - his acceptance of the post of "Historian of the Day," and his matchless address - so large a share of credit is due for the great success of our late Bi-Centennial celebration, the writer feels impelled to make note of the sad event. Few who saw and listened to Prof. Diman as he delivered the address on the 24th of September last, will forget that radiant face. His whole soul was engrossed in his theme and the occasion, and the writer knows that the day was to him a most enjoyable one. It is hard to realize that he is dead inexpressibly sad to think that his useful life, so full of promise for good to the world, has ended. His death will be felt as a personal bereavement by thousands not of his "kith and kin." The following notice of his death - a portrayal of his pure life and transcendent merits - was published in the Providence Journal of Friday, February 4th. Bristol, R. I., February 7th, 1881. "Prof. J. Lewis Diman. "It is not often that such a thrill of surprise and sorrow is experienced In our community as was felt last evening, when the sad tidings passed from mouth to mouth that Prof. Diman was no longer numbered among the living.

This book was released on 2009-06 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mr. Davidson's history of Wilkinson County takes on added importance owing to the 1852 fire in the county courthouse that destroyed a number of the county's pre-Civil War records. Indeed, the middle quarter of the book includes abstracts of several thousand Wilkinson County marriage records and, to a lesser extent, wills and Civil War muster rolls for Wilkinson County. The balance of the work is almost evenly divided between a narrative history of the county and genealogical and biographical essays treating about 100 Wilkinson County families.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tales of an Old Sea Port: A General Sketch of the History of Bristol, Rhode Island, Including, Incidentally, an Account of the Voyages of the Norsemen, So Far as They May Have Been Connected With Narragansett Bay; And Personal Narratives of Some Notable Voyages Accomplished by Sai From the earliest days of the Plymouth Colony the name Mount Hope Lands has been applied to the peninsula in Narragansett Bay of which Bristol, Rhode Island, is the chief town. The history of this town is more crowded with notable incident than that of any other in New England. First and most picturesque is the story of the Norsemen. Around Mount Hope the legends of the Norsemen cluster, shadowy, vague, elusive, and yet altogether fascinating. Only legends they are and must remain. After the lapse of a thousand years of changing climates and of varying shores no man can definitely locate the Vinland of the Vikings. Many have attempted to do so, and, like the late Professor E. N. Horsford, have established their theses to their own satisfaction and the satisfaction of the present dwellers in their Vinland, but they have not succeeded in convincing any one else.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The town of Bristol, Rhode Island, has been celebrating Independence Day in grand fashion since 1785. Americans from near and far have long regarded the town as a center of patriotism and history. With this new pictorial history, Bristol resident and "Fourth of July Historian" Richard V. Simpson presents a lively tribute to his town's heritage. Richard V.

Readers are taken inside Hope Street's historic mansions and family-run shops, gaining valuable insight into the lifestyles of Bristolians in the early 1900s. By contrast, the growth and development of the town in the twentieth century is revealed in aerial views taken over a period of fifty years.
