Along with collecting information from online resources, about how these witch trials not only occurred in the 1600s, but also far thereafter, the book also provided examples of many witches, Elizabeth Seager, and Katherine Harrison; who escaped conviction, due to the lack of tangible evidence. One lenient evening in October 1692, was expected to progress routinely, until the moment Katherine Branch, a servant of the Wescot household, went out to fetch herbs, and returned in an altered mental state.…

    A compilation of interviews with the women of early Oklahoma, Women Who Pioneered Oklahoma tells the compelling stories of individuals from a wide range of social groups and ethnic backgrounds. Before 1828, women in present-day Oklahoma created families, nurtured their children, farmed, and engaged with neighbors (Baker and Oliver 4). The signing of the Indian Removal Act of 1930 brought an era of women pioneers who traveled to the Indian Territory with their families. The opening of the territory to white settlement and the Civil War brought subsequent waves of settlers who came to the frontier seeking homes (4). The stories in Women Who Pioneered Oklahoma paint a picture of the lives of pioneer women in the first century of Oklahoma: how they came to the Indian Territory, the lives that they created, the conditions that they lived in, the dangers that they faced, how mixed populations coexisted, the violence…

This was her way of glorifying her husband’s love and illustrated how important marriage was to the Puritans.…

    Anne and William Hutchinson were among 14,000 Puritans who fled England during the “Great Migration” of the 1630s in search of religious refuge.

Anne Hutchinson devoted her life to being an extraordinary member of the Puritan church, even if it meant stepping on the toes of leaders to express her ideas. This behavior was unacceptable in the Massachusetts Bay colony and Anne was put on trial in front of the General Court, leading to her excommunication.…
