Thanks for including your bit of historical descript & link. Lucky you were tossed out! Like the vignetting at the corners to soften the landscape & sharpen the focus on the Capitol.
Jack McCabe
Your welcome AuntieJ!
Roger Williams was tossed out, not me! LOL
He worked out a deal with the Narragansett’s tribe to purchase/trade for a settlement here he names Providence, out of respect for God’s Providence!

Superb!
This would be wonderful in our new group
Right Wing Values and American Art

That’s amusing. Rhode Islanders were the first colony to burn a British vessel in the start of the American Revolution. One of the first of the original 13 colonies. The Legislature is predominantly Democratic. The longest running 4th of July parade takes place every year here in Bristol. Rhode Island is solidly in the ‘blue’ state category.
However, thanks for the compliment.
