<span class="caption-text" style="font-size: large;">MUSEUM OF OLD NEWBURY COLLECTION A
daguerreotype, circa 1839, by Henry Coit Perkins, showing a view of
Newburyport looking northward from Harris Street Church. Newburyport News April 3 2017<span itemprop="author"> Richard K. Lodge Managing Editor</span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Dr. Henry Coit Perkins had a good eye, kept great notes, and probably had no fear of heights.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Those
traits came together one day in October 1839, when Perkins hauled his
daguerreotype camera and tripod up the steps to the top of a church on
Harris Street and made a photograph of Newburyport and the Merrimack
River beyond. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">That photograph – one of five Perkins is known to
have taken of the city, with notations, that are in the Museum of Old
Newbury's collection – is one of 175 photos in a new exhibition at the
National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div data-refreshable="true" data-region="fixed-big-ad-top-asset">
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;">The
full-plate (an image about 6 by 8 inches) daguerreotype is on loan from
the local museum and featured in "East of the Mississippi:
Nineteenth-Century American Landscape Photography" through July 16.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Susan
Edwards, executive director of the Museum of Old Newbury, has studied
Perkins' photographs and said the quality is very good, considering how
difficult the early process was.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">"You can actually hone in and
pick out neighborhoods and buildings," she said. "We can get a really
good idea of what Newburyport looked like in 1839" from the
daguerreotypes. "It's amazing how built up it was. Of course, that was
probably the height of its prosperity."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Edwards traveled to Washington recently for a preview of the exhibit.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">"It was very exciting to go down and see (the daguerreotype) right in the beginning in the first room of the exhibit," she said.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Daguerrotypes
were the first photographs made that were "fixed" to the plate so the
image didn't disappear when exposed to light. Edwards said Perkins
(1804-1873) was a doctor and inventor who experimented with the
daguerreotype process in its earliest days.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">"We know so much about
him. He was a practicing medical doctor, designed his own microscope
and telescope, he ground lenses – there are references that he actually
made his own camera," she said. "He was a renaissance man."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Besides
his scientific skill working with lenses and the chemicals necessary
for making and fixing the photographic image, Perkins was a meticulous
note taker, which is why "we can date them as closely as we can,"
Edwards said of the photographs. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Many early daguerreotypes are dark or "muddy," but, Edwards said, "his have such incredible clarity and detail to them.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;">"He had such great annotations on them. We have all the documents in
this sort of crabby hand – how long he left the fixative in, what kind,
apertures that he tried, and inside and outside with light on the back
of the daguerreotype itself, what the exposure times were. So we could
match up his notes to the actual daguerreotype."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Edwards said two
or three of the Perkins daguerreotypes were displayed at the Smithsonian
Institution in the early 1990s in an exhibit called "Secrets of the
Dark Chamber," in reference to the camera.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">It was that exhibit and
references to the bird's-eye photographs over the years that helped the
National Gallery zero in on the Perkins image. Edwards said Diane
Waggoner, curator of 19th century photographs for the National Gallery
exhibit, came to Newburyport a few months ago to inspect the images,
choosing one to be among the 175 daguerreotypes, stereographs, albumen
prints and cyanotypes in the exhibit. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">In a statement, Waggoner
said, “Perkins was among the first to adapt the bird’s-eye perspective
to the daguerreotype. Correlating to the kind of compositions found in
topographical prints, his photographic town view was likely the first to
be made in the United States.” </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div data-refreshable="true" data-region="fixed-big-ad-middle-asset">
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;">These
images show rare true-to-life glimpses of a prosperous coastal
community at a time when artists' renditions were the only means of
visual documentation, the press release said. The daguerreotype on loan
for the exhibit shows a northward view of Newburyport with the river and
Amesbury beyond. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The National Gallery describes this as the
first exhibition to focus exclusively on photographs made in the eastern
half of the United States during the 19th century, "celebrating natural
wonders such as Niagara Falls and the White Mountains, as well as
capturing a cultural landscape fundamentally altered by
industrialization, the Civil War, and tourism, these photographs helped
to shape America’s national identity."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> After the exhibit in Washington, the photographs will be exhibited at the New Orleans Museum of Art from Oct. 5 through Jan. 7.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> A
notice regarding Perkins’ daguerreotypes or solar painting appeared in
the Nov. 8, 1839, edition of a Newburyport paper called The Watch Tower.
The Newburyport Herald also recorded an account of a lecture by Perkins
on his daguerreotypes at the Newburyport Lyceum on Feb. 14, 1840.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> These court documents have always been
in print, but were court records transcribed from the original watered
down?</span>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I found this article years ago when I was researching the Wardwell family of Andover for an article I published in Genealogy Magazine </span><a href="https://www.genealogymagazine.com/quaker-sought-redress-by-undressing/" target="_blank"><b><i><span style="font-size: large;">Seventeenth-Century Quaker Sought Redress by Undressing</span></i></b></a><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;"> The original documents from the Salem Witch Trials in 1692 are on online at the <a href="https://href.li/?http://salem.lib.virginia.edu/home.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">Univ of Virginia</a>
and the site provides locations of sources. However, as many may have
already discovered the old court files have some great information–and
the most colorful.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;">I am sure there are many people researching their ancestors who find
the real meat and bones just from a document citing day-to-day life.
Every human emotion is found in these treasures–jealousy, greed, lust,
rage, and a potpourri of others. The raw energy can be present even in a
dispute over land boundaries.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;"> After reading this article check out the case I cite from the old
court records published by Essex Institute in 1916 and transcribed by
George Francis Dow. A great detailed event on ADULTERY–there were over
30 witnesses in the case. So, even if your ancestor did not commit the
crime they may have been a witness, a juror, or a court official.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;"> Also, I listed more articles at the end to check out Why? Because you
will find some the same people from the cases in this 1996 article as
well as the case I cited. Some of the witnesses that testified with a
stern judgement of moral superiority end up in their own naughty mess!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;"> One question I could not find the answer for was who has these
documents found in 1996 from now and has anyone transcribed them since.
Please post any information.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> As John Demos mentions in this article these are everyday ordinary
people caught up in life situations. I have written articles on New
England families and some of my best sources come from the court
documents. Here is an example of one:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;"> A case in the Ipswich, Massachusetts court went on for over a
year—1672-73, Result: Sarah Roe of Ipswich was forced to wear a sign on
Sabbath day: “For My Baudish Carriage.” Roe had an affair with Joseph
Leigh while her husband was away at sea, and both were charged with <span class="st">“unlawful
familiarity.” Leigh suffered a day of severe lashing, plus a 5-pound
fine. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="st"> Roe, in addition to her debasing debut at the meeting-house, spent
a month behind bars.</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"> Copy of the papers in the complaint against John Leigh and <span class="gstxt_hlt">Sarah Roe, </span>taken from the <span class="gstxt_hlt">Ipswich court </span>records
and files of Mar. 25, 1673, by Robert Lord. After over thirty
testimonies the court dealt with the immoral acts with severity.
Apparently Sarah was warned to stop playing around on her husband, but
she could not resist Joseph.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> So, the point here is much knowledge can be found in these records!</span><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Taken from <b><span class="fn"><span dir="ltr">Records and Files of the Quarterly Courts of Essex County, Massachusetts</span></span></b><span class="subtitle"><b>, Volume 5</b> George Francis Dow published by the <span dir="ltr">Essex Institute</span>, 1916<br />
</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;">Here are a portion of the court records which span over a few sessions: Sarah Row, for unlawful familiarity with John Leigh,
and abusing her husband, was sentenced to the house of correction for
one month, and to suffer the discipline thereof according to law, which
the keeper is required to execute, and on the next lecture day to stand
all the time of the meeting from the last bell ringing in the meeting
house at Ipswich, on a high place where the master of the house of
correction shall appoint, in open view of the congregation with a fair
white paper written in fair capital letters <b>FOR MY BAUDISH CARRIAGE</b>, open also to the view of the congregation. She should also give bond of 301. not to abide in the company of John Leigh.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The advent of a quantity of "bloody-heart" apples into the Windham markets from the back country town of Franklin has resulted in the unearthing of an eerie tradition about this singular fruit, which has found its way into print. They are called the "Micah Rood apples," and are of a delicious flavor, snowy interior, and cherry-red skin. In every one there is a large red globule near the heart of the fruit resembling a drop of blood. <br /> This peculiarity has been made the subject of investigation, but no theory accounts for it as plausibly as the tradition of " Micah Rood's curse." Micah Rood was a prosperous farmer at Franklin in 1693. He was avaricious, but finally became indolent, spending his time in dreaming over coveted wealth. <br /> One day a peddler, who carried a pack filled with valuable jewelry, passed his house. His dead body was found the next day beneath an apple tree on Micah's farm, where the latter was wont to sit. The skull was split open and the man's pack was rifled. Rood stoutly denied any knowledge of the crime, and, although suspicion attached itself to him, nothing was proved against him. He became morose and moody and never prospered afterward. <br /> People wagged their heads when on the autumn following the murder Rood's apple tree commenced to bear the "bloodyheart" apples. They said it was a silent judgment upon him, and that the dying peddler's curse upon the head of his destroyer had come home to roost upon Rood's apple tree. Nothing like the apples had ever been seen before. Either the apples or the Suspicion wore the life out of Rood, for he died soon after they appeared. <br /> Ever since then the tree has lived, but it has almost ceased to bear the strange apples. It is the fruit from other grafted trees that revives the story to-day.</span></span></div>

<h1 class=" " itemprop="headline">
<span style="font-size: large;">Healers reluctant to share secrets with medical giants 1998 Article in The Independent </span></h1>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Attempts to pull 300,000 sangomas (traditional healers) into South
Africa's hard-pressed health system are going nowhere. Fear that drug
companies will steal their potions has the healers dragging their heels.
Mary Braid reports.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> The Pope beams down on Dr Sarah Mashele's waiting room, sharing <span class="vm-hook-outer vm-hook-default"><span class="vm-hook" style="border-color: transparent transparent rgb(0, 153, 0);">wall</span><span class="vm-hook-icon" style="display: inline-block;"></span></span>
space with a Native American prophecy about human greed, a warning that
smoking causes cancer and a painting of a sangoma chatting to a water
serpent.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;"> The bizarre fusion of Catholicism and traditional African beliefs, modern technology<span class="vm-hook-outer vm-hook-default"><span class="vm-hook-icon" style="display: inline-block;"></span></span>
and magic, continues in Dr Mashele's consulting room in a Johannesburg
tower block otherwise filled with dentists, GPs and chiropodists.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;"> The fax jostles for space with Jesus, leather-bound Bibles and a pile
of animal bones which Dr Mashele throws to diagnose complaints. If the
bones prove useless the sick close their eyes and select a scripture
printed on a fortune cookie-like slip from hundreds filed in a plastic
box.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Dr Mashele, the grandchild of a Christian bishop and descendant of a
long line of African healers, is at ease amidst this hotchpotch. Illness
she explains can be caused by stress, diet or germs. But witchcraft she
adds, with a touch of defiance, can also cause sickness. Whatever the
cause the answer lies across the corridor in a dark and hallowed room
where she grinds herbs and plants for muti (medicine).</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;"> Despite the efforts of the old apartheid regime, which dismissed traditional <span class="vm-hook-outer vm-hook-default"><span class="vm-hook" style="border-color: transparent transparent rgb(0, 153, 0);">healing</span><span class="vm-hook-icon" style="display: inline-block;"></span></span> as primitive nonsense, some 300,000 traditional healers are estimated to be practicing in South Africa today.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;">More
than 80 per cent of the population use them instead of, or as well as,
Western-trained doctors. Healers are consulted 90-100 million times a
year; every visit costs 100R (pounds 12) in a R10bn industry. The new
government has taken a more enlightened approach to traditional African
medicine than its Boer predecessor. Struggling to expand health care to
the black majority the government realizes the benefits of recruiting
this large workforce into primary health care. It also wants to subject
healers' treatments to scientific tests. For despite the "mumbo jumbo"
there is little doubt that some multi works.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;"> But a year after the Medicines Control Council set up a
joint group of Western practitioners and African healers to bring the
systems together, precious little progress has been made. At the heart
of the delay are concerns about intellectual property rights. Healers
fear research institutions and drug companies are poised to steal their
knowledge, mass produce their remedies and rake in the bucks.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;"> Solomon Mahlaba, managing director of the African National Healers'
Association, is a member of the MCC Western-African medicine group. He
is also participating in a related Medical Research Council project at
the University of Cape Town in which traditional potions are already
being scientifically tested to discover how they work and to produce a
register of safe and approved medicines.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;"> But he has his concerns. "This collaboration between Western doctors
and traditional healers is unequal. We work with the university, but
then everything produced belongs to it. At the moment it is one-way
traffic leading straight to the pharmaceutical companies," he said.</span><br />

He was working on a heafty wager of 1,000 (that is about $25K).

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ranking high on the Racontuess list</span> for Yankee eccentrics is<b> John Albert Krohn</b> (1873-1956) aka, "Colonial Jack." This classic figure exhibits true Yankee ingenuity. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Colonial Jack had been a printer by trade and a theatrical manager. Both skills proved to boast his notoriety. His home spun brown knickerbockers </span><span style="font-size: large;">and custom shaped wheel barrow demonstrated his </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">spirited originality</span>. As a transcontinental walker, he moved along like his life was the wager. There is lots out there on this fellow and a few links are posted at the end. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">America was tracking his progress via the press from </span>June 8, 1908, when he began his adventure to his last mile. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Even after the Great Walk, the buzz on this man was huge: The photo on the left from </span><i><span style="font-size: large;">Hunter-trader-trapper, Volume 18, Issue 6</span></i><span style="font-size: large;">:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">"Tanned a nut brown by the suns of many slates, a perfect picture of health,"</span> says the <i>Hunter-Trader-Trapper</i>, "Without a doubt, many who will see this article have seen Mr. <span class="gstxt_hlt">Krohn </span>somewhere
along his route, and can vouch for the genuineness of this photo,
showing the wheelbarrow, thickly covered with cards of almost every
conceivable description which were attached to it from time to time, as
he journey through the different states, some of these being carried the
entire distance from the Atlantic to the Pacific and return. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> The first day: Colonial Jack was sent off by a cheering crowd outside the City Hall at Portland Maine. Mayor, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_P._Leighton" target="_blank"><b>Adam P Leighton</b></a>, presented him with letters to deliver to Portland, Oregon's Mayor </span><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Lane" target="_blank"><b>Harry Lane</b></a>.<b> </b>The letters were delivered and so were hundreds more. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> A speedometer was hooked on to The Sphinx for accurate mileage and he collected postage marks from each town he visited. He made his presence known with every stop and made it in the papers. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> According to his travel log, Colonial Jack encountered some hostile hounds and "some mighty tough fellows," but managed to win over the later. He tells <i>The Tuscan Citizen</i>, "these tramps, they have a wholesome respect for a six shooter." (February10 1909) </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> There were a few reports of arrest, one was in Bay City, Michigan. Apparently the cops mistook him for a "highwayman," but that was quickly remedied, "I was sentenced to the best meal in town, at the best hotel; all free of charge." </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> One scary encounter on a rail road bridge in East Alburgh, Vermont nearly took his life, but his "cool thinking and fast action saved the day." </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Many gave him comfortable accommodations for the night, along with a hot meal. His wife would meet up with him through parts of the trip, but ill health in Montana sent her back home to Massachusetts. His best day was crossing through New Mexico, which he did 46 miles in one day. He never walked on Sundays and </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">he only took 19 sick days. </span> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> The desert county area was no walk in the park, but he loaded proper provisions "The Sphinx," and tacked a note on himself, just in case: </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>To whom it may concern: If you find my lifeless body, communicate immediately with my wife, Mrs J. A. Krohn, Newburyport, Massachusetts. Singed Colonial Jack, Long Distance Hiker.</i> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> According to his travel log, Colonial Jack wore out 11 pairs of shoes on that stint, costing him $103 (that is about $2,824.95 today!) Other expenses totaling $1, 247.60 included, 112 pairs of socks, 5 wheels and 3 tires for "The Sphinx" and miscellaneous necessities (total cost today </span><span style="font-size: large;">$32,334.04). </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">His first pair of shoes were replaced with a new pair in Charlotte, New York. A Biloxi, Mississippi paper reported he was wearing his 10th pair when he arrived there on April 22, 1909. His feet were tired and sore when he started, but explained to the Biloxins </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">he fixed all that with a re-enforced extra sole padding. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Colonial Jack supplemented his income on the trip by cashing in on his celebrity status. He sold aluminum tokens at 10 cents each, which sported an image of himself and "The Sphinx" on one side, the other side bearing the words: "Colonial Jack is walking and pushing his Spinx around the boarder of the United States, a distance of 9,000 miles in 400 days staring June 1, 1908 and ending in Portland, ME. </span><br />

Arthur Miller, author of “The Crucible,” was hardly the first writer to be fascinated by the Salem Witch Trials. </div>

In
1842, a writer from Newburyport named Ebenezer Wheelwright wrote a
novel called “The Salem Belle: A Tale of 1692,” which drew on the same
subject.</div>

“It’s
a story about a fellow who’s rebuffed by a woman he loves, and to get
back at her, he claims she’s a witch,” said Richard Kopley, a professor
emeritus of English at Penn State DuBois. “It’s 1692, and he’s believed —
he’s playing to the superstitions of the populace.”</div>

Kopley
wrote an introduction for a new edition of “The Salem Belle: A Tale of
1692” that was published this year by Pennsylvania State University
Press.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 27px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
A
scholar of American literature, Kopley had found a short review of the
novel in a 19th-century magazine called The Pioneer. He had written
about sources for Nathaniel Hawthorne’s “The Scarlet Letter” in the
past, and this review seemed to reveal a brand-new one.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 27px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
“The
description of the plot (in the review of “The Salem Belle”) culminates
with reference to an anticipated death at the scaffold,” Kopley said.
“I thought, that’s how ‘The Scarlet Letter’ ends — with death at the
scaffold.”</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 27px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
After
finding and reading a copy of “The Salem Belle,” he found two other
scenes with powerful verbal and thematic echoes of scenes from “The
Scarlet Letter” and felt convinced of the connection between the two
books.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 27px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
Although
“The Scarlet Letter” is concerned with adultery and not witchcraft,
Kopley felt Wheelwright’s biography made the book important to
Hawthorne.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 27px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
Wheelwright
was a descendant of John Wheelwright, who was involved in the
antinomian controversy — a theological dispute fostered by John’s
companion, Anne Hutchinson — that shook the Puritan church in Colonial
times.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 27px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
“Hawthorne would have known of John because he knew Puritan history,” Kopley said. </div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 27px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
That controversy in turn underlays themes of sin and redemption that Hawthorne pursued throughout his fiction.</div>
</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 27px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
“He’s secretly allegorizing the history of the antinomian controversy as a way to tell another allegory — the defiance of Adam and Eve in the garden,” Kopley said. </div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 27px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
No author’s name was given in “The Salem Belle,” and it took an enormous amount of detective work for Kopley to discover Ebenezer Wheelwright’s identity.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 27px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
Among his discoveries, after searching several archives, was that Wheelwright had declared bankruptcy and probably published the book anonymously because he didn’t want creditors to claim any profits he made from his writing.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 27px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
