Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: The Moshassuck River is a river in the U.S. state of Rhode Island. It flows approximately 16 km (10 mi) from the town of Lincoln to the city of Providence. There are six dams along the river's length. Moshassuck River near Charles Street, ProvidenceIn 1636 Roger Williams, founder of Rhode Island, settled on the east bank of the river and was told its name by the local Narragansett Indians. The name "Moshassuck" means "river where moose watered". The river became very important during the Industrial Revolution, powering numerous mills and also connecting to the Blackstone River to function as the lower section of the Blackstone Canal. The southern end of the Moshassuck River was the center for the area's earliest mills in the seventeenth and the eighteenth centuries and the location of base-metal works and textile factories in the nineteenth century. Today it contains several industrial buildings, such as the Fletcher Building, now used for retail and office space. Further north on the Moshassuck are the few remaining early-and-late nineteenth-century buildings of the Allen Printworks, a textile-printing operation. In Pawtucket along the river are the remaining structures of the Hope Webbing Company and the Lorraine Mills. By the mid nineteenth century, the pollution in the Moshassuck River had become so bad from factories dumping both industrial and human waste into the water that Rhode Island's cholera outbreaks of 1849 and 1854 were blamed on the state of the river. The first cleanup attempt on the river was started in 1897 by building sewers. During the twentieth century, the river steadily lost its functions as an industrial and transportation artery. When Interstate 95 was constr...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=2531194 ... Read more
