Book Description:
It’s no surprise that the
historic Massachusetts seaport’s history is checkered with violence and heinous
crimes. Originally called Naumkeag, Salem means “peace.” However, as its
historical legacy dictates, the city was anything but peaceful during the late
seventeenth century.
Did the reputed Boston Strangler,
Albert DeSalvo, strike in Salem? Evidence supports the possibility of a
copy-cat murder. From the recently pinpointed gallows where innocents were
hanged for witchcraft to the murder house on Essex Street where Capt. Joseph
White was bludgeoned to death and then stabbed thirteen times in the heart, Sam
Baltrusis explores the ghost lore and the people behind the tragic events that
turned the “Witch City” into a hot spot that has become synonymous with
witches, rakes, and rogues.
