A Fascinating ReadBy D. DoironAs someone new to Block Island who is also a big history buff. I find this book fascinating. In comparison to Cape Cod I find Block Island relatively unspoiled by commercialization. and its its interesting to compare the island structures today with those in the book.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
