Historical Accounts
as told through area Descendants

Historical accounts as told from one generation to the next are fascinating. This section of the ProvidenceRI.com web site is intended to be a publc archive for these stories for all to read.

Further, the on-line accounts are intended to provide a balanced insight into our past and help show you the forces that helped create the present day "Providence" and "State of Rhode Island", and that although we are not intending to re-write history, we hope that you can use your own judgment as to what is accurate.

It is obviously not possible, nor is it my intent to verify the accuracy of each historical account, although each account may indeed be 100% accurate.

This section can only come to life with your help. Please send stories about historical events that you you would like to share with others. We will make every effort to review and include your story in this section of ProvidenceRI.com.
