  • Film Synopsis
    TRACES OF THE TRADE: A STORY FROM THE DEEP NORTH FILM SYNOPSIS By Katrina Browne with Co-Directors Alla Kovgan and Jude Ray, and Co-Producers Elizabeth Delude-Dix and Juanita Brown. In Traces of the Trade, Producer/Director Katrina Browne discovers that her forefathers were the largest slave-trading family in U.S. history. Given the myth that the South is solely responsible for slavery, viewers will be surprised to learn that Browne’s ancestors were Northerners. The film follows Browne and nine fellow family members on a remarkable journey, which brings them face-to-face with the history and legacy of New England’s hidden enterprise. From 1769 to 1820, DeWolf fathers, sons and grandsons trafficked in human beings. They sailed their ships from Bristol, Rhode Island to West Africa with rum to trade for African men, women and children. Captives were taken to plantations that the DeWolfs owned in Cuba or were sold at auction in such ports as Havana and Charleston. Sugar and molasses were then brought from Cuba to the family-owned rum distilleries in Bristol. Over the generations, the family owned ships that transported thousands of Africans across the Middle Passage into slavery. They amassed an enormous fortune. By the end of his life, James DeWolf had been a U.S. Senator and was reportedly the second richest man in the United States. The enslavement of Africans was business for more than just the DeWolf family. It was a cornerstone of Northern commercial life. The Triangle Trade drove the economy of many port cities (Rhode Island had the largest share in the trade of any state), and slavery itself existed in the North for over 200 years.

  • Waterfronts for Work and Play: Mythscapes of Heritage and Identity in Contemporary Rhode Island
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: WATERFRONTS FOR WORK AND PLAY: MYTHSCAPES OF HERITAGE AND IDENTITY IN CONTEMPORARY RHODE ISLAND Kristen A. Williams, Doctor of Philosophy, 2010 Dissertation directed by: Dr. Nancy L. Struna Department of American Studies My dissertation examines the relationship between heritage sites, urban culture, and civic life in present-day Rhode Island, evaluating how residents‟ identities and patterns of civic engagement are informed by site-specific tourist narratives of eighteenth, nineteenth and early twentieth-century labor histories. Considering the adaptive reuse of former places of maritime trade and industry as contemporary sites of leisure, I analyze the role that historic tourism plays in local and regional economic urban redevelopment. I argue that the mythscapes of exceptionalism mobilized at Rhode Island‟s heritage sites create usable pasts in the present for current residents and visitors alike, alternatively foregrounding and obscuring intersectional categories of difference according to contemporaneous political climates at the local, national and transnational levels. This study is divided into two parts, organized chronologically and geographically. While Part I examines the dominant tourist narratives associated with Newport County, located in the southeast of the state and including Aquidneck Island (also known as Rhode Island), Part II takes the historic tourism associated with mainland Providence Plantations as its case study and focuses exclusively on Providence County, covering the middle

    A COLONIAL WEDDING. DESOEND~~NTS OF FRANCIS LEBARON OF PLYivIOUTH; IvL<1_SS. COMPILED BY MARY LEBARON STOCKWELL. BOSTO~: T. R. MARVIN & SOK, PRI:YTERS, 73 FEDERAL STREET. 1904. TO THE PERSEVERING INTEREST OF CATHARINE MUNROE (MARCH) CLARK THE PREPARATION OF THIS BOOK IS DUE; AND TO HER MEMORY IT nr· LOVINGLY DEDICATED. INTRODUCTION. IN offering this volume to the public, the compiler is well aware that in many lines it is incomplete, and that there must be, of ~ecessity, occasional errors in dates and names. As to the former, it is well known to all genealogists that the dates found on town records frequently differ from those contained in family Bibles, or given on gravestones; in some cases, two or even three varying dates for the same event have been furnished by different members of the same family; in such instances the responsibility of deciding which had the greater weight of evidence in its favor has necessarily fallen upon the compiler, and it can hardly be supposed that no errors have been made in reaching . the conclusions given. In the spelling of names some apparent dis- crepancies will doubtless be observed; these are due to the fact that the form used by the family itself has been followed. Even in the same family different members have occasionally, used different spelling of their family name. The material for the foundation of the work was largely gathered by the late John Goodwin Locke; the notes which he left at the time of his death, in 1869, being collated by Capt. Nathaniel Goodwin, who brought down the line of descendants of Dr.
