A list of books and articles on American History, the
American Revolution, and the Bucklin Family History and Genealogy.
The 1772 Rhode Island capture and burning of the English ship Gaspee has
special interest to Bucklins because of the involvement of the person for whom
our society is named. Our society specially builds bibliographies and
references to the legal and political background of the Gaspee affair and the
rich history of the English background from which the Rhode Island and
Massachusetts colonists built their pre - Revolutionary War arguments that the
English were acting in an unconstitutional manner. The Joseph
Bucklin Society is one of the few places deliberately collecting citations to
the books and articles on the Gaspee affair.
The Joseph Bucklin Society studies the Massachusetts Bay Colony and the
Rhode Island and Providence Plantations Colony, in the period 1600--- 1799, and
England in the same time period. We have particular interest in
researching and recording the New England Bucklin families and settlements and
their spread to other places before 1799. Therefore our bibliographies are
on books of history of those subjects.
