Excerpt from Burrillville: As It Was, and It Is This volume, about the past and present of my native town, was penned during a few weeks of recreative leis ure in the summer of 1856. In a rural district there are no centres of information, few and meagre public records, and no historic compilations to Which one can resort for aid. A chaos of poor traditions is to be reduced to order, and incoherent chronicles of popular events arranged to tell their story as time told it. I have said nothing in regard to the original purchases of our land from the Indians. I preferred to leave it um til I could include a larger territory. Those purchases often included tracts that were lying in several towns, and their importance demands a more elaborate notice, than would seem consistent with a sketch of so small a portion of north western Rhode Island. The same remark Will apply to the long controversy about the west line. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
