ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
She was 71 years old. A grandmother. A respected woman in her community. And Salem decided she was a witch.
Tonight on The Francesca Luca Show, I’m joined by historian and author Daniel A. Gagnon, whose fascinating book, A Salem Witch: The Trial, Execution, and Exoneration of Rebecca Nurse, uncovers the disturbing story behind one of America’s most infamous miscarriages of justice.
What turned neighbors against neighbors? How did suspicion become a death sentence? And what have historians gotten wrong about Rebecca Nurse’s story?
We’re digging into the family feuds, fear, and deadly accusations that consumed Salem in 1692 and the remarkable legacy of a woman who refused to confess to a crime she didn’t commit.
