In the mid-nineteenth century, the community of Danvers,

Massachusetts, celebrated the 100th anniversary of its

separation from Salem. Formerly known as Salem Village,

Danvers had been the location in 1692 of an infamous witch

hunt, and in the nineteenth century it still retained numerous

historical ties to those early, traumatic times.

In this marvelous new photographic history, the story of

Danvers from 1850 to 1899 unfolds before our eyes through the

medium of early American photography. Readers will gaze at

the fresh, young faces of Danvers shoemakers and farmers turned

soldiers, dressed in uniform and prepared to fight in the Civil

War. The pocket villages of Danvers are revealed and illustrated

both in images of structures forever lost and others now preserved

as historic house museums. Also illustrated are many of the

elegant estates occupied by such notables as poet John Greenleaf

Whittier and Secretary of War William C. Endicott.
