  • (King Philip's War), 1675-1676 Dissertation Presented in Partial
    Connecticut Unscathed: Victory in The Great Narragansett War (King Philip’s War), 1675-1676 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Major Jason W. Warren, M.A. Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: John F. Guilmartin Jr., Advisor Alan Gallay, Kristen Gremillion Peter Mansoor, Geoffrey Parker Copyright by Jason W. Warren 2011 Abstract King Philip’s War (1675-1676) was one of the bloodiest per capita in American history. Although hostile native groups damaged much of New England, Connecticut emerged unscathed from the conflict. Connecticut’s role has been obscured by historians’ focus on the disasters in the other colonies as well as a misplaced emphasis on “King Philip,” a chief sachem of the Wampanoag groups. Although Philip formed the initial hostile coalition and served as an important leader, he was later overshadowed by other sachems of stronger native groups such as the Narragansetts. Viewing the conflict through the lens of a ‘Great Narragansett War’ brings Connecticut’s role more clearly into focus, and indeed enables a more accurate narrative for the conflict. Connecticut achieved success where other colonies failed by establishing a policy of moderation towards the native groups living within its borders. This relationship set the stage for successful military operations. Local native groups, whether allied or neutral did not assist hostile Indians, denying them the critical intelligence necessary to coordinate attacks on Connecticut towns. The English colonists convinced allied Mohegan, Pequot, and Western Niantic warriors to support their military operations, giving Connecticut forces a decisive advantage in the field.

  • The Parking Committee's Report on Public Shoreline Access and Rights
    The Parking Committee’s Report on Public Shoreline Access and Rights-of-Way in Jamestown April 7, 1999 Prepared by committee members: Lisa Bryer Claudette Cotter Darcy Magratten Pat Bolger It is not the intent of this study to comment on the status of private versus public ownership on any rights-of-way (ROW). Rather, this study endeavors to compile a list of all CRMC-designated rights-of-way, identified potential ROWs, and public shoreline access points in Jamestown for the purpose of description, review and recommendations to the Town Council for future planning purposes. SIZE, OWNERSHIP & DESCRIPTION: In this report, we have relied upon the work of Rebecca Carlisle, Planning Office intern in the summer of 1992 (a report she compiled which was later forwarded to CRMC and has become the basis of identifying ROWs in Jamestown), the CRMC progress report as of June 1998, reference to the Coastal Resource Center’s publication "Public Access to the Rhode Island Coast", survey maps drawn by Robert Courneyor as part of Rebecca Carlisle’s report, Jamestown Planning Offices plat maps, Jamestown GIS material and recent photographs. REVIEW: Each member of the subcommittee visited, walked, noted current conditions, discussed each site, and also reviewed prior recommendations where applicable. The review took into consideration how accessible each site was–both by car and foot, the access & grade to the shoreline, the proximity of neighbors, the availability of parking, the availability of trash receptacles and other recreational facilities. RECOMMENDATIONS: A rating system of 1 to 3 was used to prioritize each site. Number 1 sites should be fully supported and maintained with existing parking and facilities.

  • Blackstone River Valley National Historical Park
    National Park Service Blackstone River Valley U.S. Department of the Interior National Historical Park Dear Friends – Welcome to the first newsletter for your new Blackstone River Valley National Historical Park. As of December 19, 2014, Blackstone became the 402nd unit of the National Park Service. What an accomplishment! Thank you to everyone who made this park a reality. The National Park Service is honored to be able to tell the story of “the Birthplace of America’s Industrial Revolution,” here, in the Blackstone Valley. While the park has been legislatively established, there is still some work to do. First and foremost, the National Park Service (NPS) is working on drawing the park boundary. We are meeting with state government agencies, nonprofit organizations, municipalities, stakeholders, community members and volunteers to help us define this boundary. We would love your input and hope to hear from you. Though we don’t yet have an official boundary, NPS Rangers are out in the Valley this summer. We have rangers supporting summer camps, giving Walkabouts, attending events, and meeting visitors at important sites. We are working on publishing outreach materials and Jr. Ranger books. National Park Passport stamps will be coming soon! On behalf of all of us that have the honor to work for the NPS, we appreciate your support in our mission to create a world-class National Park in the Blackstone River Valley. I’m excited to be on this journey with you. Sincerely, Meghan Kish Meghan Kish Superintendent Blackstone River Valley National Historical Park Meet the Staff Meghan Kish is the Superintendent for Blackstone River Valley National Historical Park, New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park and Roger Williams National Memorial.
