New Book by local
author: After many years of exhaustive research, Dresden
resident Lewis Putnam Turco has published Satan’s Scourge: a
Narrative of the Age of Witchcraft in England and New England
1580-1697. Lewis is descended on his mother’s side from
the Putnam family of Salem Village, Massachusetts, a family that
figured prominently in the New England witch hunt of the late
1600s, and his volume gives the reader some fascinating insight
into a turbulent time in our history. |
