Synopsis
Excerpt from Rhode Island: A Guide to the Smallest State
Although the 'smallest State,' it lays claim to a greater number of historic sites and other points of interest than can be found in some of the largest States of the Union. N ot all of these are dealt with in this book for the sake of brevity the editors have been obliged to omit mention of dozens of Early American houses, embankments thrown up to repel foreign invaders who never appeared, and many hillocks on which were erected beacon poles with kettles of tar to be burned when Indians or British threatened. They have striven to avoid the all too prevalent conception that American history stopped with the Revolution, or at best by 1800; and they have included here many points of interest which, although not now 'historic,' may well be considered so a century hence.
