Synopsis

This book is an extract from the 1758 record of the Rhode Island General Assembly, during the French and Indian War. The text contains an array of colonial governance activity including the raising of local troops, supply procurement, and the issuing of ordinances to support the war effort. Amidst the conflict, the Assembly regularly discussed the equipping, provisioning, and general welfare of the colony's regiments and privateers, along with corresponding communications to regional commanders and the British Crown. The author provides insights into the colony's response to imperial directives and its efforts to maintain local autonomy amidst the larger imperial struggle. This book is a valuable resource for scholars and general readers interested in the history of Rhode Island, the French and Indian War, and the inner workings of colonial governance.
