I: The Story of the Mount Hope Lands, From the Visit of the Northmen to the Present Time Whether I shall do anything worth while, from the very be ginning oi the city, I write a history of the Roman people, I neither know very well, nor if I knew would I dare to say. So wrote the his; torian Livy, as he sat at the window of his study and looked out upon the splendid imperial city, rich with the conquests of many hundreds of years. Whether I do anything worth while in writing the history of the town of Bristol, is not the thought which has troubled me, for every contribution to the history of a town or state has a definite and specific value. From their varied threads the future historian shall some day weave into graphic pages a faithful narrative of the progress of Amer ican civilization. Whether I am doing it in a worthy way - has been the troublesome question that could never be satisfactorily answered. For Bristol has a history peculiarly and strangely interesting to every thoughtful man. Very few towns in the whole country can furnish so many themes upon which the pen of the historian delights to linger. In writing a local history two methods naturally present themselves for the choice of him who takes the task in hand. One is, to make it simply and only a local history; to give an epitome of all the legislation of the town; to perpetuate and eulogize upon its pages the names of all those who have taken a part that has raised them, in even the slightest degree, above the general level of their fellows; to give extended lists of those who have been its professional men, its merchants, its artisans and its seamen; and to make mention of the houses in which these men were born, and lived, and died. Such is the plan which has been often adopted. It may answer in the case of many towns whose part in the his tory of their state has been light and comparatively unimportant. It would not be worthy of the career of this town. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Bristol, Rhode Island (Mount Hope) boasts a history unlike that of any other place in America. Home of the great Wampanoag sachem Massasoit and later his son, Philip, after King Philip¿s War Mount Hope belonged to the Pilgrims of Plymouth, then to the Puritans of Massachusetts, and finally, in 1747, became part of Rhode Island.The ¿legends¿ in this remarkable book are not legends at all, but historical fact, every word of which is true:Vikings who visited in the year 1000; a mysterious rock and its enigmatic engravings; the friendship between the Pilgrim Edward Winslow and the Wampanoag sachem Massasoit; the battle in which King Philip was killed by an Indian soldier serving under Benjamin Church; the squaw-sachem Awashonks, who sided first with Philip, then with the English;American patriots who burned the British ship Gaspee in 1772 (the first hostile act of the Revolution); the bombardment by the British in 1775 and the wanton burning of Bristol three years later; the friendship between George Washington and Senator William Bradford;extraordinary characters such as Jabez Howland, a lieutenant under Benjamin Church; John Crowne, Harvard¿s first playwright, who laid claim to the land at Mount Hope; housewife Smith who gave such a tongue-lashing to two British soldiers that they let her keep her silver teapot; and a shipwrecked sailor who so reeked of tobacco that the cannibals who ate his companions refused to eat him.Printed for private circulation in 1915, Some Legends of ¿Mount Hope¿ is now extremely rare, with only a handful of copies in existence. This Rock Village Publishing edition is an expansion of the original, with an introduction and addenda by Edward Lodi.with illustrations
