Mike Ross Explores Witch Trials
Just in time for Halloween, Mike Ross's HIST 134 Spies, Assassins, Martyrs, and Witches: Famous Trials in American History looks at the Salem witch trials of 1692, among other high profile cases. Pointy hats, jack o' lanterns, and chocolate are far from the Salem experience where accused witches were jailed, tried, and executed by such means as being pressed to death with heavy stones. Read about Ross's take on this trial and others in US history in MarylandToday. The complete story is HERE.
