Excerpt from The Biographical Cyclopedia of Representative Men of Rhode Island
Although Rhode Island is a small state territorially, she, nevertheless, has a record as brilliant and interesting as any state in the Union, and as her history extends over a period of nearly two and a half centuries, the greater part of this volume is necessarily devoted to sketches of the lives of men of past generations.
The biographies have been arranged chronologically, except so far as it became necessary to interrupt this order for the purpose of properly distributing the steel-plate portraits with which the work is embellished, and inserting sketches received too late for publication in their proper place. The fact that the biographies of many prominent men who are now upon the stage of action are not to be found in this Cyclopedia, and that steel-plate portraits do not aecom pany the sketches of several well-known men represented herein, may occasion some comment; but it is due to the publishers to state that they have used their best endeavors to supply this omission.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the life and legacy of a fascinating figure from early American history: Roger Williams, the founder of Rhode Island. Williams's story is inextricably intertwined with the founding of America itself, as he was a staunch advocate for religious freedom and separation of church and state ââ â principles that were revolutionary for his time. The author takes us through Williamsââ â¢s formative years in England, his arrival in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, and his eventual expulsion for his radical views on religious tolerance. The book meticulously chronicles Williamsââ â¢s journey through the wilderness to found Providence, a haven for those seeking freedom of conscience. We see how he navigated complex relationships with Native American tribes and worked tirelessly to establish a government based on his ideals. The author also examines Williamsââ â¢s theological evolution and his involvement in the development of the Baptist Church. The book paints a vivid picture of a man whose unwavering commitment to individual liberty shaped the course of American history and serves as a timeless reminder of the importance of freedom of thought and expression.
