To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Rumstick Neck bears the HARRIS MAP, 1795 words " Pocanockett alias Sawoomsett. '' The " Shunock, " " wood, " and " asshauge " rivers bear their modern names with minor orthographical changes, although the Ashaway is called the " asshauge or Quequtuck. " The map is far more accurate than any previous delineation of the lands about Narragansett Bay.
The second map of Rhode Island is the Helme-Chandler map of 1741. This was drawn from the surveys of James Helme and William Chandler, who were emplo...yed by the Royal Commissioners appointed to report on the disputed boundaries of the Colony of Rhode Island. The original manuscript map was preserved in the State House at Albany, where it was destroyed by the fire of 1911. Several manuscript copies were made from the original, and in 1848, lithographs were made from one of these, in connection with the proceedings before the Supreme Court of the United States, which resulted in settling the disputed points. This map contains more than twice as many place-names as appeared on the Mumford map.
