Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Beginning in January 1692, Salem Village in colonial Massachusetts witnessed the largest and most lethal outbreak of witchcraft in early America. Villagers--mainly young women--suffered from unseen torments that caused them to writhe, shriek, and contort their bodies, complaining of pins stuck into their flesh and of being haunted by specters. Believing that they suffered from assaults by an invisible spirit, the community began a hunt to track down those responsible for the demonic work. The resulting Salem Witch Trials, culminating in the execution of 19 villagers, persists as one of the most mysterious and fascinating events in American history. Historians have speculated on a web of possible causes for the witchcraft that stated in Salem and spread across the region-religious crisis, ergot poisoning, an encephalitis outbreak, frontier war hysteria--but most agree that there was no single factor. Rather, as Emerson Baker illustrates in this seminal new work, Salem was "a perfect storm": a unique convergence of conditions and events that produced something extraordinary throughout New England in 1692 and the following years, and which has haunted us ever since. Baker shows how a range of factors in the Bay colony in the 1690s, including a new charter and government, a lethal frontier war, and religious and political conflicts, set the stage for the dramatic events in Salem. Engaging a range of perspectives, he looks at the key players in the outbreak--the accused witches and the people they allegedly bewitched, as well as the judges and government officials who prosecuted them--and wrestles with questions about why the Salem tragedy unfolded as it did, and why it has become an enduring legacy. Salem in 1692 was a critical moment for the fading Puritan government of Massachusetts Bay, whose attempts to suppress the story of the trials and erase them from memory only fueled the popular imagination. Baker argues that the trials marked a turning point in colonial history from Puritan communalism to Yankee independence, from faith in collective conscience to skepticism toward moral governance. A brilliantly told tale, A Storm of Witchcraft also puts Salem's storm into its broader context as a part of the ongoing narrative of American history and the history of the Atlantic World. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

Hardcover. 4th printing. xvii, 289 p.; front. (port.); 24 cm. Books written by Rufus Jones, p. 287-89. [First printed in 1951] `Rufus Jones was at first Chairman, and then Honorary Chairman of the American Friends' Service Committee, from 1917 to his death in 1948. He saw the work expand until its usefulness circled the globe. The story of this extraordinary adventure in the practice of the Sermon on the Mount cannot be told here. Rufus Jones, in his book, A Service of Love in Wartime, has pictured what was done during the First World War, but when that ended, doors of opportunity stood so wide open, calls of need were so insistent, the Quaker conscience was so aroused, and the testimony of unselfish care for enemy and friend alike had proved itself so cogent, that the work expanded by leaps and bounds. It is typical of the Committee's strategy that when, in the early 1920's, Herbert Hoover faced the problem of starving German children, the Quakers spent over $12,000,000 in answer to his call, and at one time furnished at least one meal a day to 1,200,000 German children. The Committee's spirit was dramatized in 1938 when, amid the Jewish calamities in Germany, Rufus Jones led a delegation which went to Berlin and faced the Gestapo at Hitler's headquarters. "We do not ask who is to blame for the trouble which may exist. We do not come to judge or criticize but to enquire whether there is anything we can do to promote human welfare and to relieve suffering." Those who suppose that the Quakers were or are discouraged because such attempts to implement the Christian ethic did not solve the international problem or prevent the Second World War, do not understand the Quakers.'
