Buying a newspaper during the Depression was a courageous act, but the Phoenix, his son, Roswell Bosworth Jr., says, "was a very revered one-horse newspaper." It was in those lean years that Bosworth began to write his column, "This and That from Here and There," which for decades was a Rhode Island institution.
In addition to the Phoenix, the column appeared in the three additional newspapers that Bosworth founded in the 1950s and 1960s: the Barrington Times, the Warren Times-Gazette, and the Sakonnet Times.
His editorial backing helped ensure such things as the creation of Bristol's Colt State Park, a new Bristol site for Roger Williams University, and the rebuilding of the town's Rogers Free Library after it was destroyed by fire in 1957.
