Synopsis

In "The Witchcraft Delusion in Colonial Connecticut (1647-1697)," John M. Taylor offers an incisive exploration of the sociopolitical and religious dynamics that fueled the witchcraft trials in Connecticut during the colonial period. Taylor employs a meticulous historical methodology, integrating primary sources, such as court documents, correspondences, and contemporary accounts, to illuminate the intricate factors that led to the vilification of individuals as witches. Written in clear, scholarly prose, the book situates these events within the larger framework of Puritan beliefs and the evolution of early American society, revealing how fear and superstition intertwined with communal tensions. John M. Taylor, a noted historian specializing in early American history, draws on his extensive research into colonial New England's socio-religious landscape. His academic background and interest in the intersection of belief systems and social behavior provide a unique lens through which he examines the impact of witchcraft narratives on colonial governance and community cohesion. Taylor's previous works on social justice and legal history further underscore the significance of his findings in this volume. Highly recommended for scholars and enthusiasts of American history, Taylor's book not only sheds light on a dark chapter in colonial life but also invites readers to reflect on the broader implications of fear-driven societal responses. This detailed examination is essential for understanding the historical roots of witchcraft hysteria and its resonance in contemporary discussions about justice and community.

    National parks like Yellowstone, Yosemite, and Glacier preserve some of this country's most cherished wilderness landscapes. While visions of pristine, uninhabited nature led to the creation of these parks, they also inspired policies of Indian removal. By contrasting the native histories of these places with the links between Indian policy developments and preservationist efforts, this work examines the complex origins of the national parks and the troubling consequences of the American wilderness ideal. The first study to place national park history within the context of the early reservation era, it details the ways that national parks developed into one of the most important arenas of contention between native peoples and non-Indians in the twentieth century.

    A compelling study into the history and lasting influence of enslaved Native people in early South Carolina. 
     
     
     
    In 1708, the governor of South Carolina responded to a request from London to describe the population of the colony. This response included an often-overlooked segment of the population: Native Americans, who made up one-fourth of all enslaved people in the colony. Yet it was not long before these descriptions of enslaved Native people all but disappeared from the archive. 
     
     
     
    In Enslaved Native Americans and the Making of Colonial South Carolina, D. Andrew Johnson argues that Native people were crucial to the development of South Carolina's economy and culture. By meticulously scouring documentary sources and creating a database of over 15,000 mentions of enslaved people, Johnson uses a uniquely interdisciplinary approach to reconsider the history of South Carolina and center the enslaved Native people who were forced to live and work on its plantations. Johnson also employs spatial analysis and examines archaeological evidence to study Native slavery in a plantation context.
