I accidently hit enter before pasting in the Index. I am resending this - I only received a few inquiries. I will post Vol II index shortly. Here is the index for Vol I. "THE OLD STONE BANK' HISTORY OF RHODE ISLAND. It was published in 1929. On the front cover of the book it say "Published in Commemoration of the One Hundred and Tenth Anniversary of the Founding of the PROVIDENCE INSTITUTION FOR SAVINGS". There is an embossed image of the domed bank. The 2 banks mentioned in each book are the Olneyville Branch and Empire-Aborn Branch. I can transcribe to the list if this is alright with the list owners or scan in .jpg images and send individual info at your request. Each topic below is only 1-3 pages. Please contact me.

Thank you for your kind offer! Could you post me your e-mail, I'll "echo-back"with mine, would love the following scans, in order of preference... Gratefully, Barry Hale Browning > The Wantons of Rhode Island (Have some of these in my bloodlines) > Piratical Attacks on Block Island (I've heard about B.I. piracy, but would love details) > Indian Athletics (In the grand tradition of the great "Tarzan" Brown?) > Catherine Littlefield Greene (Block Island Littlefields, no?) > The Great Gale of 1815 (Is this another one of the indian-described "big winds" that we call hurricanes?)
