Tales of an Old Sea Port, Classics To Go

Excerpt: "From the earliest days of the Plymouth Colony the name Mount Hope Lands has been applied to the peninsula in Narragansett Bay of which Bristol, Rhode Island, is the chief town. The history of this town is more crowded with notable incident than that of any other in New England. First and most picturesque is the story of the Norsemen. Around Mount Hope the legends of the Norsemen cluster, Shadowy, vague, elusive, and yet altogether fascinating. Only legends they are and must remain."
