America - Did you know? The last shot of the Civil War was fired in the remote region of the Bering Sea. The Confederate cruiser Shenandoah fired on a Union whaler on June 22, 1865, not knowing the war was over.

The first mention of Rhode Island in writing ('isola di Rhode') was made by explorer Giovanni da Verrazzano in 1524 (he refers to an island near the mouth of Narragansett Bay which he compares to the Island of Rhodes in the Mediterranean). Some attribute the name to Dutch explorer Adriaen Block ('Roode Eylandt'), again because its red clay is similar to the Greek island of Rhodes. (statesymbolsusa.org)
