A fascinating history of Tiverton and Little Compton, documenting its historic roads, farms, life on the sea, and the daily routines of citizens. With Tiverton and Little Compton, authors Nancy Jensen Devin and Richard V. Simpson invite you to travel historic roads, to explore late-nineteenth-century life in town, on the farm, on the sea, and at leisure. The reader will delight in sweeping views of the Sakonnet River and the Portsmouth shore from Fort Barton, and ride in a one-horse carriage down Main Road to Little Compton and the industrious fishing village at Sakonnet Point. A series of views from the Portsmouth Hummock offers a spectacular perspective of the Tiverton shore, where breakers crash majestically along the rocky coast. This narrow strip on Rhode Island's eastern flank forms one of the most peaceful, beautiful, and remote corners of the state. Readers will also observe the legacy and traditions of the Wampanoag Indians who settled this land centuries before the Puritans from Plymouth Colony.

Portsmouth, Rhode Island

From pre-colonial times through World War II, Portsmouth, Rhode Island, has served as a stage for the dramatic evolution of American history. Dispossessed citizens from the Massachusetts Bay Colony came to Portsmouth in the spirit of religious and political tolerance, paving the way for the establishment of a large Quaker settlement in town. Revolutionary leaders such as George Washington, Lafayette, and Rochambeau visited the summer residences of wealthy Newport merchants in Portsmouth, including the home of Tory, Metcalf Bowler. During the Civil War, the Melville area of Portsmouth was the site of a hospital for wounded Union soldiers and Confederate prisoners, and was an active stop on the Underground Railroad. Prior to World War II, John F. Kennedy received his PT boat training in Portsmouth, and Raytheon has kept many employed in the defense industry ever since. Authors Nancy Jensen Devin and Richard V. Simpson are area historians who have combined the photograph collections of the Portsmouth Historical Society with many previously unpublished images from local families' albums to produce this remarkable new photographic history of the town. Mr. Simpson is the author of Bristol in the Images of America series, and Ms. Devin is the creator of a popular multimedia presentation called The Story of the Town of Portsmouth, Rhode Island. The authors' affection for the area and knowledge of its history are evident in this exciting tribute to the town and the people of Portsmouth.

Family secrets reverberate for generations in one of the "Best Novels of 2011" (Kirkus Reviews) Growing up without a mother in hardscrabble Kentucky in the 1920s, Bertie Fischer and her older sister, Mabel, have only each other--with perhaps a sweetheart for Bertie waiting in the wings. But on the day that Bertie graduates from eighth grade, good intentions go terribly wrong, setting off a chain of misunderstandings that will change the lives of the next three generations. What happens when nothing turns out as you planned? From the Depression through the second world war and Vietnam, and smaller events both tragic and joyful, Bertie and Mabel forge unexpected identities that are shaped by a past that no one ever talks about. Gorgeously written, with extraordinary insight and emotional truth, Nancy Jensen's brilliant first novel, The Sisters, illuminates the far-reaching power of family and family secrets.

Cats at School: Understanding Students with Autism

Cats at School: Understanding Students with Autism

Nancy Jensen

Independently Published
2019
nidottu
Viewing schools from a cat's perspective might help us to better understand students with autism. Imagine dogs as students at an elementary school - in the classroom, on the playground, following instructions, learning tricks, traveling with their pack and enjoying a day of directed activities. Now imagine cats as students at that same school. Following instructions? Learning to perform for treats? Traveling with a pack? Enjoying directed activities? Hmmm, maybe not. A student with autism faces some of the same challenges as those cats trying to succeed in schools designed for dogs. Using analogy, this little book looks at schools and the students they serve, with detailed insight, an optimistic view, and practical suggestions for supporting success for some very special students.

Chasing the Cure In New Mexico

Chasing the Cure In New Mexico

Nancy Owen Lewis; Joan M Jensen

Museum of New Mexico Press

This book tells the story of the thousands of "health seekers" who journeyed to New Mexico from 1870 to 1940 seeking a cure for tuberculosis (TB), the leading killer in the United States at the time -- and is today the leading infectious killer worldwide. By 1920, 10% of all New Mexico residents were TB sufferers who had come to the state for the fresh air, the high, dry climate, and the endless sunshine thought beneficial to the illness. Writers, painters, architects, doctors, lawyers, business leaders -- all of these came for the cure and many stayed to form influential salons or play a critical role in the state's struggle for statehood. The story of art, health and financial growth has a seedy underside, however, when it was discovered the native Hispanos and American Indians were being infected by the influx of "lungers". Many of these people were neglected and died. Then, when the prosperous era of health seekers moving to New Mexico ended, it ended quickly -- antibiotics became available and were a reliable cure. The sanatoriums closed; a legacy with many points of light remains.
