How is a sense of place created, imagined, and reinterpreted over time? That is the intriguing question addressed in this comprehensive look at the 400-year history of Salem, Massachusetts, and the experiences of fourteen generations of people who lived in a place mythologized in the public imagination by the horrific witch trials and executions of 1692 and 1693. But from its settlement in 1626 to the present, Salem was, and is, much more than this. In this volume, contributors from a variety of fields examine Salem's multiple urban identities: frontier outpost of European civilization, cosmopolitan seaport, gateway to the Far East, refuge for religious diversity, center for education, and of course, "Witch City" tourist attraction.

With this informative and easy-to-use guide, the streets of Salem come alive with history at every turn. When most people think of Salem, they think of witchcraft, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Samuel McIntire. But there is far more to this coastal city’s rich history. Echoes of lesser-known tales linger along its lanes and avenues, from the mysteries of Chestnut Street to the founding Quakers of Buffum Street. Local historian Jeanne Stella recounts the stories behind some of Salem’s oldest street names and reveals the hidden histories that reside within. With her colorful and fascinating tales, you can step back in time as you walk down Daniels Street, learn the many firsts that happened on Broad Street, and discover the varied uses of Salem Common.
