Meet Daniel A. Gagnon, author of A Salem Witch: The Trial, Execution, and Exoneration of Rebecca Nurse, which vividly recreates 17th-century Salem and challenges previous interpretations of Rebecca Nurse’s life and the 1692 witch trials. Witchcraft accusations spread from Salem Village across Massachusetts, ensnaring innocent people from all strata of society under a burden of assumed guilt. One of the most significant accusations, and most unlikely, was against a 71-year-old grandmother, Rebecca Nurse. Learn about a remarkable woman whose legacy has transformed how the witch hunt has been remembered and memorialized.
