Produktinformationen zu „Witches, Wenches & Wild Women of Rhode Island (ePub)“
Discover the most fearsome and fascinating women to ever live in the Ocean State in this collection of wild historical profiles.
In Witches, Wenches & Wild Women of Rhode Island, local historian M.E. Reilly-McGreen reveals true tales of women who caused scandals in their day. It's a compendium of rebellious deeds, outlandish gossip, and superstition run amok.
Mercy Brown was a nineteen-year-old consumption victim thought to be a vampire. Locals were so afraid of Mercy that her body was exhumed to perform a ritual banishment of the undead. Goody Seager was accused of infesting her neighbor's cheese with maggots by using witchcraft. According to legend, Tall "Dutch" Kattern was an opium-eating fortuneteller whose curse set a ship aflame after its crew cast her ashore.
Along with these tales, you'll read of revolutionaries, like Julia Ward Howe, who invented Mother's Day; and religious reformers like Anne Hutchinson, said to be the inspiration for Hawthorne's heroine in The Scarlet Letter; and many others.
