Alice Morse Earle was a social historian
of great note at the turn of the century, and many of her books have
lived on as well-researched and well-written texts of everyday life
in Colonial America. Curious Punishments of Bygone Days was
published in 1896. It is a catalog of early American crimes and
their penalties, with chapters on the pillories, stocks, the scarlet
letter, the ducking stool, discipline of authors and books (egad!),
and four other horrifying examples of ways in which those who
transgressed the laws of Colonial America were made to pay for their
sins. |
