Book Description
"When Deborah Wilson walked through the streets of Salem in 1662 'naked as the day she came into the world, ' her intention was to dramatize the 'nakedness' of Puritan religious thinking. She succeeded only in getting herself 'well whipped' and becoming one of the fascinating human illustrations in [this] informing and engrossing study of crime and its punishment in the early days of Colonial Massachusetts. She was indeed fortunate not to have become one of the grimmer statistics of the time--for the Puritans, in their pursuit of 'Godly justice, ' hanged five Quakers on Boston Common. The story of the 'saints' who founded this 'New England Utopia' has often been told. For the first time, here, is the story of the sinners--in all the vivid, sparkling 17th century prose in which the Saints preserved it. It is a particularly important story since the justice they evolved and dispensed in the Plymouth and Bay colonies from 1620 to 1692 profoundly affected many aspects of criminal justice in America. These 'first beginners, ' as they styled themselves, left a lasting imprint on the laws which govern us today ... This scholarly and absorbing study gives the background of the settlement of these two colonies to show the extent of the legal knowledge and experience of the founders. A concise analysis of the legal system they established follows, and then an account of the changes and developments that took place. All aspects of the law--the lawyers, judges, lawmakers, policemen, criminals, courts, jails, and prisons--are fully considered. The forms of punishment and their frequency are examined. The author has compiled valuable tables of the occurrences of different crimes and their penalties. There is also a comprehensive treatment of the relationship of church and state, and of the civil rights and liberties of the colonists ... What makes this work especially useful to the student as well as the general reader are the concluding sections of each chapter. In short historical summaries, the author brings the subject of each chapter up to date. Thus this is history which not only illuminates the past, but also is directly relevant to the problems and concerns of today"--
