The Pawtucket Prince: An Intriguing Portrait of a Rhode Island Political Force


The Rhode Island Publications Society has released a riveting new biography titled The Prince of Pawtucket: The Life and Times of Thomas P. McCoy by Dr. William J. Jennings, Jr. The book delves into the life of McCoy, a New Deal Democrat who served as the mayor of Pawtucket in the 1930s and 40s. McCoy’s legacy, especially his controversial leadership style and the impending demolition of a stadium he built, is explored in depth in the 364-page account.
Rhode Island Historian Laureate Patrick T. Conley and historian Dr. Debra Mulligan praise Jennings for his meticulous research and insightful portrayal of McCoy’s rise to power and ultimate fall. Dr. Jennings, who has previously written about Rhode Island’s history, received funding from the Heritage Harbor Foundation for this project.
The Prince of Pawtucket is available for purchase on the Rhode Island Publications Society’s website for $29.95 plus shipping. This biography promises to be essential reading for those interested in Rhode Island’s urban political history.
