Download or read book Bridget s Hanging written by Sheila Duane and published by . This book was released on 2016-07-27 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On August 30, 1867, on a New Jersey gallows, convicted murderer Bridget Durgan was hanged before a crowd of over five hundred men, women, and children who behaved as though they were attending a carnival. She remained suspended until the cheering crowd was satisfied that justice had been done. But had it? In Bridget's Hanging, Sheila Duane looks carefully at the evidence and concludes that justice was not done: Bridget was tried, condemned, and executed for a murder she didn't commit. Instead, she was guilty of being poor, illiterate, Irish Catholic, an immigrant, and not beautiful, all of which were loathed in nineteenth-century America. Tried by a media not unlike today's and condemned by mob mentality, Bridget and her sensationalized story eclipsed the murder victim herself-Mary Coriell, for whom Bridget worked as a domestic-and a more likely suspect. While journalists at the time painted a picture of Bridget as monstrous, Duane looks with fresh eyes at a character who was intellectually childlike, who practiced a foreign religion, believed in unfamiliar superstitions, and who spoke with a brogue that was difficult for Americans to understand. Both a well-documented study and an absorbing whodunit, Bridget's Hanging dissects the case against Bridget Durgan and finds it wholly unconvincing. In doing so, Duane manages to find a little justice for Bridget at last.

Kacey is the new girl in Broken Falls. When she moved in with her father, she stepped into a brand-new life. A life with a stepbrother, a stepmother, and strangest of all, an adoring younger half sister. Kacey's new life is eerily charming compared with the wild highs and lows of the old one she lived with her volatile mother. And everyone is so nice in Broken Falls--she's even been welcomed into a tight new circle of friends. Which is why it's so odd when her closest friends, Bailey and Jade, start acting distant. And when they don't invite her to the biggest party of the year, it doesn't exactly feel like an accident. But Kacey will never be able to ask, because Bailey never makes it home from that party. Suddenly, Broken Falls doesn't seem so welcoming after all--especially once everyone starts looking to the new girl for answers.

Download or read book The Salem Witch Trials written by K. David Goss and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2007-12-30 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part of the enduring fascination of the Salem witch trials is the fact that, to date, no one theory has been able to fully explain the events that ravaged Salem in 1692. Countless causes, from ergot-infected rye to actual demonic posession, have been offered to explain why the accusations and erratic behavior of seven village girls left hundreds accused, over 20 dead, and the townspeople of eastern Massachusetts shaken. Through a multitude of resources, this authoritative reference guide explores the Salem Witchcraft episode, including the religious and political climate in Puritan New England, and accessibly summarizes the major interpretations of, and reactions to, the events, from the seventeenth century until the present day. Biographical sketches of each person central to the events—including afflicted girls, victims, ministers, and magistrates—add a human element, and primary document excerpts—including petitions, letters, and revealing testimony—give a firsthand glimpse of the proceedings in the players' own words. A chronology of events, a glossary of terms, an annotated bibliography, and over 25 photos make this a must-have resource for students of American history, criminal justice, gender issues, and culture. A must-have for any student of American history, this resource gives a unique glimpse into the 17th century politics, religious culture, and gender issues that created the Salem witchcraft episode, and gives context to an impact that still resonates today, in everything from modern political life to popular culture.
Download or read book Professional Practice and Learning written by Nick Hopwood and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-01-22 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores important questions about the relationship between professional practice and learning, and implications of this for how we understand professional expertise. Focusing on work accomplished through partnerships between practitioners and parents with young children, the book explores how connectedness in action is a fluid, evolving accomplishment, with four essential dimensions: times, spaces, bodies, and things. Within a broader sociomaterial perspective, the analysis draws on practice theory and philosophy, bringing different schools of thought into productive contact, including the work of Schatzki, Gherardi, and recent developments in cultural historical activity theory. The book takes a bold view, suggesting practices and learning are entwined but distinctive phenomena. A clear and novel framework is developed, based on this idea. The argument goes further by demonstrating how new, coproductive relationships between professionals and clients can intensify the pedagogic nature of professional work, and showing how professionals can support others’ learning when the knowledge they are working with, and sense of what is to be learned, are uncertain, incomplete, and fragile.

Download or read book Nefarious Inside written by Tim W Byrd and published by Tim W Byrd Author. This book was released on 2015-01-26 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Leave this alone'! If you do not Evil will come for you!" Time's would be tough for fourteen year old Bridgit Monroe who is only five foot even with long black hair and green eyes and smooth skin and tanned but then they always were. It seemed born into a legacy of old ancient beliefs from her father's side, whom died when she was only eight year's old from a car accident while on a business trip to London. He always seemed to share all he knew of his family heritage with her, which was shrouded in Pagan culture but Bridgit's mother never did approve. Prologue All the spirits in the world could not convince Mrs. Ann Monroe, who was strict, upstanding and proper and would not hear of such silliness about the paranormal world. To her it was anything but normal and not to be tampered with, her rules were her rules, and she made sure that Bridgit new that. Born and raised in Salem Massachusetts, in a nice 3-bedroom manor, one of the oldest in Salem, all stone and wood on Charter Street. Bridgit would no doubt be exposed to the world of witches and spirit's and she knew her mother did not approve but Ann would be sure to keep her from anything religious other than church and Bridgit knew secrecy was the best policy. The only other person that knew Bridgit's secret was Abigail Bishop, at fourteen year's old herself and five foot four with blonde hair, blue eyes and a few freckles, being a mild mannered girl and Bridgit's best friend. Abigail lived right next door to her in an old Victorian style manor house made of brick. Abby lives’ with her mother (Carol) and father (Miles). Abigail was an only child as well and that made for a lot of good fun for the two girl's because they would sneak out late at night to visit The Old Burying Point which is the oldest cemetery in Salem erected in sixteen thirty two. This is where they would go and try to contact spirits of the dead. Bridgit was mischievous but daring and a little reckless and loved to wear the things that reflected how she was, black nail polish, black lipstick, black clothing. The only problem here was she could only wear these things at Abigail's house when she would spend the night and her mother wouldn't know. Bridgit's room was just as she wanted it, everything black from her bed to her curtains, she even had a black apple computer complete with bookcases. Now the inside of the Monroe house was more modern having been remodeled before they moved in, having bright colored furniture, carpeting in every room except the kitchen and bathroom's complete with bay window's. Nothing less would do for Mrs. Monroe, the yard out front was just as big as the back, sitting on sixty acres with a long winding driveway with rose bushes leading up to the front door and lady Gloria statues flanking the door's, the back yard having a big pond and an old barn that's been there for god knows how long and Ann thinks it is an eyesore and was where Bridgit would spend time alone when she was not at Abigail’s. Now Abigail's house was more original, more antique and everything Bridgit loved having, antique furniture and old rug's that were imported from Asia covering some of the hardwood flooring. Abigail's room was what Bridgit loved the most, original dark hardwood flooring, black drapes, black furniture and paranormal portraits hanging on the walls of the room with candles of every color it seemed. Maybe that's why Bridgit liked it there so much, Abigail's front yard was as big as Bridgit's lined with tall boxed shrub's that led to the front door on an old cobblestone drive that ran into the walk way and three trees that stood out in the middle of the yard, in the back of the manor there was a pool that was built into the ground and a hot tub with a patio, a grill and chairs with some other yard toy's that's been there since Abigail was younger. Abigail was daring, as well and mild but she was faithful and a follower so she would pretty much do what Bridgit wanted to do.
Download or read book Killing the Witches written by Bill O'Reilly and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2023-09-26 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Instant New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Publishers Weekly Bestseller! Killing the Witches revisits one of the most frightening and inexplicable episodes in American history: the events of 1692 and 1693 in Salem Village, Massachusetts. What began as a mysterious affliction of two young girls who suffered violent fits and exhibited strange behavior soon spread to other young women. Rumors of demonic possession and witchcraft consumed Salem. Soon three women were arrested under suspicion of being witches--but as the hysteria spread, more than 200 people were accused. Thirty were found guilty, twenty were executed, and others died in jail or their lives were ruined. Killing the Witches tells the dramatic history of how the Puritan tradition and the power of early American ministers shaped the origins of the United States, influencing the founding fathers, the American Revolution, and even the Constitutional Convention. The repercussions of Salem continue to the present day, notably in the real-life story behind The Exorcist and in contemporary “witch hunts” driven by social media. The result is a compulsively readable book about good, evil, community panic, and how fear can overwhelm fact and reason.
