Author Talk with Daniel A. Gagnon: “A Salem Witch”

Wednesday, July 9 at 1:00 p.m.
Community Rooms AB

Join us for an author talk with Daniel Gagnon, who will be discussing his book: A Salem Witch: The Trial, Execution, and Exoneration of Rebecca Nurse.

Gagnon brings to light the life of Rebecca Nurse, a well respected 71-year old grandmother, who was accused and ultimately convicted of witchcraft. In his book, Gagnon vividly recreates seventeenth-century Salem, and in the process challenges previous interpretations of Nurse’s life and the 1692 witch hunt in general.

A Salem Witch reveals a remarkable woman whose legacy has transformed how the witch hunt has been remembered and memorialized.
