The Bluffs' Bloody Story
Scenes from a Summer Day on Block Island
With its turquoise waters, natural expanses and Victorian charm, Block Island is a one-of-a-kind destination. Enjoy these photos from a Block Island summer day.
Although the Mohegan Bluffs are a place of serene beauty now, they are named, as this monument describes, for a skirmish that ended badly for 40 Mohegan Indians, who were driven over the bluffs by Block Island's native Manisseans.
