Download or read book All Aboard written by Scott Molloy and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2004 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All Aboard: The History of Mass Transportation in Rhode Island covers the period from the Civil War to the creation of the Rhode Island Public Transit Authority (RIPTA). Each of the seven chapters examines a particular form of travel and its impact on the people and surrounding area. From the horse-drawn omnibus, horse car, and cable tramway to the rumbling buses of modern times, this book welcomes readers to explore various types of bygone transport. As well as a cornucopia of transportation street images, the book reproduces documents, badges, and tokens to provide a comprehensive glimpse of yesteryear; it includes little known facts and stories of life on the road. Learn how the horse car beat out the old-fashioned omnibus to dominate city streets during the Gilded Age, and how the electric streetcar quickly replaced the horse car by the 1890s. Discover the joy that grandparents experienced taking an open bloomer car to Rocky Point or Roger Williams Park. See the rubber-tired, trackless trolleys that ran on electric current from overhead wires. Explore the action of the 1902 railway strike in Providence and Pawtucket that led to the mobilization of the state militia.
Download or read book Untold Stories from World War II Rhode Island written by Christian McBurney and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2019-10-21 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the success of World War II Rhode Island, author Christian McBurney returns, with new coauthors Norman Desmarais and Varoujan Karentz, to present extraordinary personal stories of local contributions to the war effort. From John F. Kennedy's training as a PT boat commander at Melville to George H.W. Bush's training as a pilot at Charlestown, the smallest state played an oversized role preparing navy officers and sailors. Important innovations are credited here too. Radar used on night-flying aircraft was developed at Jamestown's Spraycliff Observatory and tested at Charlestown, and at Davisville, Seabees developed a pontoon aircraft landing field tested on Narragansett Bay. Scituate was home to the nation's most successful spy listening station. After these and more captivating stories are revealed, the final chapter details existing World War II sites across the state readers can visit.

Download or read book The WPA Guide to Rhode Island written by Federal Writers' Project and published by Trinity University Press. This book was released on 2013-10-31 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 1930s in the United States, the Works Progress Administration developed the Federal Writers’ Project to support writers and artists while making a national effort to document the country’s shared history and culture. The American Guide series consists of individual guides to each of the states. Little-known authors—many of whom would later become celebrated literary figures—were commissioned to write these important books. John Steinbeck, Saul Bellow, Zora Neale Hurston, and Ralph Ellison are among the more than 6,000 writers, editors, historians, and researchers who documented this celebration of local histories. Photographs, drawings, driving tours, detailed descriptions of towns, and rich cultural details exhibit each state’s unique flavor. The WPA Guide to the smallest state in the United States, Rhode Island, is by no means the shortest guide in this series. The Ocean State has a rich and extensive history which provides plenty of material to be covered. Despite a small geographic region, there is plenty of historical sites, photographs of churches and houses, and plenty of driving tours.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you always believe what you see, or do you sometimes think it’s all part of your imagination? If something is standing right in front of you, how do you know it is real? What if no one else sees it? Can you prove it? “Stories from a Sideways Glance” is a series of wonderful and engaging short stories about characters that might prove real to some readers and imaginary to others. You will likely recognize some of these characters from your own life. These gripping stories that will challenge your challenging our assumptions and push pushing us you to think beyond the normal. Does a ghost leave a footprint? How would you explain wild animals gathering to protect a child from a deranged person, or a crowd sighting a being that left no footprints in the snow? What if someone you cannot prove is real had a profound effect on changes in your life? This life is filled with contradictions. Most of the time, we rationalize these away, but some never go away. We believe what we need to, to get through the next day. One thing for sure, anything that we think is carved in stone often gets proved wrong. Better to keep an open mind, less distance to fall.
