Overview

Though small in stature, Rhode Island packs more living into its small borders than any other U.S. state. Founded by a religious exile from the Massachusetts Bay colony in the 17th century, this proud little state has emerged from its slumping post-industrial economy to become more than just a Boston to New York City thruway. With Moon Handbooks Rhode Island, Andrew Collins leads travelers on a fascinating journey through the state's six centuries of history, folklore and reality. Being small means everything's close- more than half the population lives within a 15-mile drive of the State House in Providence and everybody in the Ocean State lives within a 30-mile drive from either the beach or Narragansett Bay, America's second-largest estuary. Covering all aspects of the ocean state- from the shores of Newport, South County, and Block Island to the city streets of Providence to the industrial heritage of the Blackstone river valley- Moon Handbooks Rhode Island is the perfect guide for exploring this fascinating state.
