Welcome to Week 200!
Rules:
*Grab a book, any book.
*Turn to page 56 or 56% in your eReader
(If you have to improvise, that's ok.)
*Find any sentence, (or few, just don't spoil it) that grab you.
*Post it.
*Add your (url) post below in Linky. Add the post url, not your blog url. It's that simple.

Margaret Jones also puts in an account in Reverend John Hale's 1697 account A Modest Enquiry into the Nature of Witchcraft, published in Boston in 1702. Hale was a minister in Beverly whose wife was accused during a Salem picnic. A Modest Enquiry was his attempt to look at the nature of witchcraft in North America. He mistakenly cites Jones as the first person executed for witchcraft in New England; there is evidence that one Alice /young was executed in Windsor, Connecticut, in 1647, though very little record of her survives.

Fascinating and timely too -- with Halloween coming up soon.
ReplyDeleteGah! A bit too dark for my taste, but I do hope you enjoy it! Thanks for hosting and have a lovely weekend Freda :)
ReplyDeleteI have this but haven't read it yet.
ReplyDeleteScary stuff being judged and accused, then put to death. Cover art goes well with the Halloween theme, for sure. So sorry to hear of the terrorist attack in Canada, Freda. Thanks for hosting.
ReplyDeleteThanks Diana! The fallen Argyle is from my city. He actually lived 5 minutes drive from me. So sad and senseless.
DeleteThis sounds like an interesting book.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
Aah I just read and reviewed a book on Salem and the witch trials and Hale's book was really big in it! I hope you're enjoying this one! Thanks for sharing :) Hope you have a good weekend!
