The Capital
Crime of Witchcraft
with Margo Burns
Thursday, October 27 at 7pm
On first impression, the witchcraft trials of the Colonial era may seem to have been nothing but a free-for-all, fraught with hysterics. Margo Burns explores an array of prosecutions in seventeenth century New England, using facsimiles of primary source manuscripts, from first formal complaints to indictments of formal charges to death warrants, demonstrating how the Salem Court worked.
Sponsored by the New Hampshire Humanities Council.
