Description:This book explains how a grass roots organization was able to preserve the densest site of Indigenous Archaeology in Rhode Island from development. The site, now called "Manitou Hassannash Preserve", in Hopkinton, Rhode Island, is a Ceremonial Stone Landscape, and is Sacred Land to the Indigenous Peoples. The book was written by Tom Helmer, who was at the center of this rescue operation from the beginning. Harvey Buford, also a vital force in the preservation effort, contributes his own eye witness account of these events, adding fresh insights based on his 20 years of working within the Hopkinton Town Government. And finally, Mary & James Gage, Stone Structure Researchers, contribute their independent account of 2 1/2 years of methodical research and documentation of this same site, which was unknown by the Hopkinton locals at the time of the pivotal Town Planning Board Meeting, which was poised to grant final approval to the plans to develop the site. With a view towards reader immersion in the "Nitty Gritty", and future research at this amazing site, the author has compiled a lengthy appendix of relevant documents from before, during, and after, reflecting the views of the participants in this rare, "Feel Good" triumph of saving an irreplaceable part of our History and Culture from scouring by the bulldozers.
