An influential maritime port during the colonial and federal periods and the long-ago home

for its unique contribution to witch history and culture. Salem has many stories — famous architect Samuel McIntire’s reshaping of the city,
T.S. Eliot’s deep roots in the community and, of course, séances and mystic healers from the psychic past.
In this collection of intriguing tales based on her column, "Naumkeag Notations," featured in the Salem Gazette,
historian Maggi Smith-Dalton offers a melodic journey through the many cobbled avenues of Salem’s history.
