Synopsis

Originally delivered as a historical lecture during the 1998 East Hampton 350th Anniversary Lecture Series, author Loretta Orion has extended her work with additional research to give the reader a more expanded view of the world of Goody Garlick, who was accused of witchcraft in the 17th century by Lion Gardiner’s daughter, Elizabeth Howell. Who were the players in this intriguing story and how did the time period affect the outcome? Was Goody Garlick an actual witch or just a victim of the times?
