About this text
Description
William P. Upham’s study traces the property, family history and remembered burial of John Procter, executed during the Salem witch trials. More narrowly focused than general histories, it connects archival documents with the physical landscape surrounding one of Salem’s best-known victims. The book turns legal tragedy into local memory, asking where a condemned life remained inscribed after the court had finished. Houses, boundaries and old roads become silent witnesses to an accusation whose cultural presence never entirely left the ground.
