Book Description
In the first photographic history of Glocester, Rhode Island, Chepachet native Edna Whitaker Kent presents a remarkable collection of over 200 historic photographs never before available to the public. The many views of Glocester homes, streets, mills, farms, schools, people, and churches have been compiled from private collections to be published for the first time. The historic villages of Harmony, East Glocester, Spring Grove, Cherry Valley, West Glocester, Hawkins' Village, Clarkville, Williams' Mills, and Chepachet are all represented in this volume, which spans the period of time from 1826 to 1992. Two unique historical events are comprehensively illustrated: Dorr's Rebellion--during which two duly-elected Rhode Island governors vied for power--and the tragic shooting of one of North America's first elephants at Chepachet Bridge. In addition, Glocester, Rhode Island depicts the community's proud history of legendary pageants, gatherings, Old Home Days, and parades, which have attracted visitors to the region for many years.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Brief History of the Town of Glocester, Rhode Island: Preceded by a Sketch of the Territory While a Part of Providence In preparing the following pages, the author has been exceedingly desirous that a history of the town of Glocester might be presented in a connected form, from its first settlement. An effort has been made to state things accurately, and on good authority. It has been very difficult to ascertain dates in some instances. The sources whence the information is derived are various: Bartlett's Colonial Records; Schedules of the town presented yearly to the General Assembly; Town Records; old newspapers; private papers; reading of many books that had reference to town matters; travelling over the town, and information from elderly town's people. Glocester has furnished some citizens of high personal worth, and honor to other towns, states and countries.
