In a book as intriguing as its subject, authors George H. Kellner and J. Stanley Lemons have successfully blended an innovative, forceful text with extraordinary images to produce a lively historical canvas of the state of Rhode Island. Discover why Rhode Island was once described as the ?lost parcel of the British Empire; ? how its people found unique ways to independently govern themselves, battle for independence from the British, and transform the state; why the state takes pride in being the first in America to conduct the "living experiment" in religious freedom. A generous display of rare photographs, paintings, advertisements, and maps, many in full color, illuminate the events, personalities and trends of the times, giving added insight to the rich history of this beautiful state on the ocean.
