THE IS A REPRINT OF THE 1890 BOOK. THOMAS HUTCHINSON, the last Governor of Massachusetts under British. The last governor of Massachusetts under British rule, belonged to a family quite celebrated in the history of that colony. His great-great-great-grandmother was the Mrs. Anne Hutchinson who, with all her family, was banished from Massachusetts on account of her religious opinions in 1637. Captain Edward Hutchinson, his great-grandfather, "was prominent in much business with the Indians, and was killed during King Philip's War, August, 1675. His more immediate ancestors also played important parts in the public life of the colony. Governor Hutchinson was born at Boston in the year 1711. At the age of sixteen he graduated from Harvard College, with an excellent reputation as a student. He at first engaged in mercantile business, but soon becoming satisfied that he was not qualified to succeed in this, he gave it up and devoted himself to legal studies. In 1738 he entered political life as a member of the board of selectmen in Boston, and from that time on he was almost uninterruptedly in public office.

Award-winning historian Mary Beth Norton reexamines the Salem witch trials in this startlingly original, meticulously researched, and utterly riveting study. In 1692 the people of Massachusetts were living in fear, and not solely of satanic afflictions. Horrifyingly violent Indian attacks had all but emptied the northern frontier of settlers, and many traumatized refugees—including the main accusers of witches—had fled to communities like Salem. Meanwhile the colony’s leaders, defensive about their own failure to protect the frontier, pondered how God’s people could be suffering at the hands of savages. Struck by the similarities between what the refugees had witnessed and what the witchcraft “victims” described, many were quick to see a vast conspiracy of the Devil (in league with the French and the Indians) threatening New England on all sides. By providing this essential context to the famous events, and by casting her net well beyond the borders of Salem itself, Norton sheds new light on one of the most perplexing and fascinating periods in our history.

Download Puritans Besieged Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
For all the historical recognition of the long-range importance of King Philip's War to the New England mission, the norm of histories on the topic focus narrowly on the fifteen-month-long period of open hostilities rather than on the continuing significance of the struggle. The War, according to these histories, has been viewed as a solution to the problem of how the native and English cultures would coexist in New England, with the caveat that English domination was inevitable. Puritans Besieged posits that the long term significance of the trial was not a matter of the survival of the English race in New England versus the eventual disappearance of the Algonkian Indians, as has been suggested. Puglisi posits the real challenges revolved around the ways in which the colonists solved the new tensions generated during the postwar period.

The Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Cleopatra, the #1 national bestseller, unpacks the mystery of the Salem Witch Trials. It began in 1692, over an exceptionally raw Massachusetts winter, when a minister's daughter began to scream and convulse. It ended less than a year later, but not before 19 men and women had been hanged and an elderly man crushed to death. The panic spread quickly, involving the most educated men and prominent politicians in the colony. Neighbors accused neighbors, parents and children each other. Aside from suffrage, the Salem Witch Trials represent the only moment when women played the central role in American history. In curious ways, the trials would shape the future republic. As psychologically thrilling as it is historically seminal, THE WITCHES is Stacy Schiff's account of this fantastical story-the first great American mystery unveiled fully for the first time by one of our most acclaimed historians.
