From the authors website... Cumberland by the Blackstone: 250 Years of Heritage celebrates the 250th anniversary of the Town of Cumberland, Rhode Island, a community along the Blackstone River that played a major role in America's Industrial Revolution.

The authors, Joyce A. Hindle Koutsogiane, Ed.D., and David W. Balfour, have woven a visual tapestry of local history that combines photographs from the collections of many families with an outstanding descriptive narrative.

The book celebrates Cumberland's historic past while charting a course for future development.
