There are new articles coming soon! I am kicking off this season with another “bad girl” of history, Margaret Stephenson Scott. Margaret was among the last to be tried as a witch in Salem, Massachusetts in 1692 and was executed by hanging on September 22 (Colonial calendar). She was later pardoned of her crimes as an alleged witch. This will never undo the injustice she and others endured, but she can now be remembered with accuracy. As a descendent of Margaret Scott, I hope to represent her memory well within the chronicle of history in early America.
For you, Margaret Scott.
