Description:Excerpt from Block Island, Vol. 5: Latest Edition Brought Down to DateIn 1877, Rev. S. T. Livermore, at that time pastor of the Baptist Church at Block Island, published a history of Block Island, now out of print.Mr. Livermore was a gentleman of liberal education and broad culture, and was gifted with a mind of that order which not only delights in the investigation of the records, traditions, legends and myths of the past, but is able to sift evidence and to decide whether a story is only a charming bit of fiction or has a germ of truth which will repay investigation. After a residence of four winters and three summers at Block Island, and a careful study of the old town records, of private papers, long conversations with the oldest residents, and a search among the records of other towns for facts bearing on the subject, he published his original work.Subsequently he published an abridged edition of this work, with a map, revising it from time to time up to the time of his death. The plates have been purchased by Mr. C. 0. Ball, of the Island, and the book has been brought up to the present time, 1901, by the addition of several pages of new matter. The value of the book has also been much enhanced by the insertion of a number of new cuts. This revision has been carefully and thor oughly done under the editorship of Mr. Charles E. Perry, and it is believed that the new matter alone is well worth the price charged for the book.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
