The picturesque images and steadfast spirit of small-town America thrive within Bristol. One need only to look along its tree-lined streets and centuries-old waterfront and into its historic homes and buildings to see the romance of Rhode Islands past mingling with its present. Heritage and tradition; especially its long-running celebrations of the Fourth of July; are essential in understanding the character and identity of this little town on the bay.Bristol: Montaup to Poppasquash takes readers on a unique journey through the communitys past; beginning with the voyages of early Norse explorers and detailing major events that shaped the towns history; including the King Philips War; the Revolutionary War; and a variety of other military conflicts that took local men and women away from their homes. Not only evoking memories of yesteryear; this compelling illustrated history explores the evolving personality of Bristol over the passing decades; from its days as a small fishing village and a haven for privateers to its present status as a premier boat-building center.

Draw 50 MonstersBy Fred BaetzI got this for my 11 year old Grandson for a Christmas present and he loved it.. i also purchased a sketch pad and some artist pencils for him to use and before he opened any other gifts he had the pad and book open and was starting to draw monsters. His mom said he just loved the book. so easy to use with clear instructions. Any kid who has a artist streak in him or her would enjoy the book...0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
