Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the historical debate surrounding the authenticity of the supposed First Meeting House in Salem, Massachusetts. The author examines the competing claims and evidence, scrutinizing the reports of the 19th-century committees that first attributed significance to the structure. The author argues that these reports were based on flawed logic, misinterpretations of records, and a misreading of the physical evidence. By re-examining the historical record, the book challenges the long-held belief that the building is the genuine First Meeting House, shedding light on the construction and use of meeting houses in early New England and the nature of historical preservation.
