Download or read book A Guide to Newport written by Gabriel Weis and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-29 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Guide to Newport: Rhode Island They built a cabin where Farewell Street now runs. This structure was destroyed by fire two years later; but other houses had already been erected by colonists who joined the Eastons, the town boundaries laid out, and Newport was firmly established. One of the new-comers was Benedict Arnold (no ancestor of Arnold the traitor). He became Governor of the colony, owned considerable land, including the hill where the Old Stone Mill stands, and is buried on this property, on the grounds of the Governor Van Zandt mansion on Pelham Street. Other prominent colonists were William Coddington and William Brenton, whose names are perpetuated by Codding ton's Cove and Brenton's Point. Coddington was a large land-owner, and as Governor was ambitious to set himself up as a little king of the island; but his neighbors so strongly objected that he was compelled to leave. Brenton also became Governor. He owned a large estate which he called Hammersmith Farm, after his native town in England. It is said that the first daisies in America were those brought from the old country by Brenton and planted on his farm. His residence, called The Chimneys, was the first of the great mansions of which Newport has so many. This house, in fact the entire town of Newport, was a refuge for the white settlers from the Indians who ravaged the mainland. That part of the Narragansett tribe which remained on the island was always friendly and helpful to the whites.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Guide to Providence River and Narrangansett Bay: From Providence to Newport The pleasure of an excursion is greatly increased by a knowledge of the places which are passed, and the events of which they were the scenes.
