Description
This presentation by author Daniel A. Gagnon will explore why 1692 Witch-Hunt victim George Jacobs Sr.’s grave was left unmarked, while Rebecca Nurse’s purported grave was memorialized, how Danvers / Salem Village confronted its legacy of the witch-hunt, and why the bones of a man executed in 1692 did so much traveling.
