Rhode Island in Rhetoric and Reflection: Public Addresses and Essays by Patrick T. Conley and Neither Separate nor Equal : Legislature and Executive in RI Constitutional History
“These are wonderful essays on the history of Rhode Island by the premier historian of Rhode Island. With wit, clarity, and an extraordinary command of historical information, Patrick T. Conley has covered all aspects of Rhode Island history from its earliest origins in the seventeenth century to the beginning of the twenty-first century. There are essays on Rhode Island constitutionalism (Conley’s specialty), on immigration and ethnicity, on Rhode Island sports, on Catholicism, and on a wide variety of the Ocean State’s local scenes and colorful characters. The beauty of collections like this is that they preserve what otherwise might be lost. And Conley’s writings are worth preserving. He is a treasure.”
GORDON S. WOOD, Alva O. Way Professor of History, Brown University, Winner of the Pulitzer Prize in History
Both books are autographed by historian/author Dr Patrick Conley, and come from the Rhode Island Publications Society of East Providence. Increase your own insight into the workings of the Ocean State with these autographed books from the Rhode Island Publications Society.
