Sinopse

Old Wickford: The Venice Of America is a book written by Frances Burge Griswold that explores the history and culture of Wickford, Rhode Island. The author takes readers on a journey through the town?s past, from its early days as a bustling port to its present-day charm as a quaint New England village. Griswold delves into the lives of the town?s early settlers, including the Native Americans who first inhabited the area, as well as the European colonists who arrived in the 17th century. She also examines the town?s role in the American Revolution and its subsequent growth as a center of commerce and industry. The book is filled with vivid descriptions of Wickford?s architecture, natural beauty, and unique character, making it a must-read for anyone interested in the history and culture of New England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
