Rhose Island history explored by Bertram Lippincott voyage
Bertram Lippincott lays claim to rich but underutilized Rhode Island material. He notes Jamestown summers, Newport lore, and six generations of family ties, detailing figures from Verrazano to Captain Kidd and Idawalley Lewis. He argues Rhode Island history, including British and French occupations, remains barely published.
