Book excerpt: During the 318 years since the town's founding, Bristol has endured a number of severe natural disasters and other devastating trials, only to triumph in the end. At first bombed, raided, and burned by the British, in later years Bristol saw the collapse of her banks and the painful demise of local industry. In addition, disastrous storms have pounded her shores, at one time destroying the town's commercial fleet. Through all this, however, Bristol has endured, a testament to the tenacity of the town's colorful citizens. From adventurous privateers and wealthy industrialists to hardy fisherman and skilled laborers, members of the Bristol community have struggled and succeeded together.

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.
