It's always a sad part of human nature - the willingness to join in on persecuting another.Rich Clabaughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15915392348153309406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1885320105550742793.post-87353026681894093412009-12-23T03:35:36.582-05:002009-12-23T03:35:36.582-05:00Hi.

You also might be interested in reading my newly published historical novel: THE AFFLICTED GIRLS A Novel of Salem by Suzy Witten (ISBN: 978-0-615-32313-8) (Amazon, B&N.com) (Published 11/09). In it, I offer a brand new theory of the afflictions, which is certain to put this 300-year-old unsettled mystery to rest and rewrite the history on Salem.

I purchased the book from New England Historic Genealogical Society (NEHGS) earlier this year. I would recommend it.<br /><br />The book is subtitled "One Family's Epic Journey Through 400 Years of American Protestantism." In it, Mr. Griffeth tells his family history, including that part in which one of his ancestors, Mary Towne Eastey, was hanged for wichcraft. He gives verbatim parts of the trials, along with the incidents which led to the accusations. It struck me as a very even-handed treatment of these happenings.Dimplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08313315926201426600noreply@blogger.com
