Mohegan Bluffs Monument - Story of How Block Island's Mohegan Bluffs Got Their Name

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.
