The Perrys of Rhode Island, and Tales of Silver Creek, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint)

Description: This book delves into the history of Silver Creek, a homestead built in 1680 and the home to three prominent Rhode Island families: first, the Bosworths, then the Bourns, and lastly the Perrys. Spanning over three centuries, this book tells the tale of a historic home and its significance within the broader context of American history. By tracing the lives of its occupants, the author explores the transformation of the United States from its colonial beginnings through the Revolutionary War and into the early 19th century. The narrative is enriched by family anecdotes, letters, and relics that provide intimate glimpses into the social and political landscape of the time. Through the intertwining stories of the Bosworths, Bourns, and Perrys, this book offers a unique perspective on the growth and development of American society, the role of faith and family, and the enduring legacy of those who shaped the nation's past.
