Ghosts Along the Road: an Offbeat Look off the Beaten Path in a Special Part of Rhode Island and Connecticut Rona Mann

An old New England cemetery with scandalous headstones...a dirt road filled with wandering livestock...an empty foundation where once a thriving mill stood...a rocky coastline deserted in winter. This is the essence of "Ghosts Along the Road," part historical, part travel guide, part local New England humor. All this and more awaits the armchair traveler when he embarks upon 26 different "roads less traveled" in Rona Mann's part of southwestern Rhode Island and southeastern Connecticut. Each chapter explores the character of a different town or village and makes you want to head for the car to experience it for yourself.
