Publisher's Synopsis
Indian Names of Places in Rhode Island is a book written by Usher Parsons in 1861. The book is a comprehensive collection of Indian place names that are found throughout Rhode Island. The author has compiled a list of names that were used by the indigenous people of Rhode Island before the arrival of European settlers. The book is divided into two parts. The first part provides a brief history of the indigenous people of Rhode Island and their language. The second part of the book lists the Indian place names alphabetically, along with their meanings and descriptions. The author has also included footnotes throughout the book, providing additional information and context about the names and their origins. This book is an excellent resource for historians, linguists, and anyone interested in the history and culture of Rhode Island's indigenous people.
