Synopsis
Collections by the Rhode Island Historical Society assembles, in a mid-19th century edition, narratives and documents concerning the early history of the Narragansett country (the area now in Washington County, Rhode Island). The volume centers on the colonial settlement of Rhode Island and its borders with neighboring colonies (Connecticut, Plymouth, Massachusetts), and on the Narragansett Indians, their chiefs Canonicus and Miantonomo, and their relations with English settlers. It includes prefatory material and an introduction by Elisha R. Potter Jr., as well as sections titled Early History of the Narragansett Country, the Pequot War, King Philip’s War, and later boundary and jurisdiction disputes. The work collates original documents, letters (notably Roger Williams’s), Indian deeds, and official records relating to the Narragansett country, Block Island, and the Pettaquamscut and Namcook purchases. It also surveys the evolution of property and governance in colonial New England and the legal battles over land titles, with genealogical notes on settlers and purchasers. It serves as a foundational compilation of primary sources for historians of early America.
