About the author

Charles Wentworth Upham was a U.S. politician, having served twice each as a member of the Massachusetts State House of Representatives and Senate, plus a term as President of the latter; the 7th Mayor of Salem, Massachusetts, and finally as Representative from the 6th district of Massachusetts in the U.S. Congress.

A classmate and former friend of Ralph Waldo Emerson, Upham was an opponent of the burgeoning Transcendentalism movement. He wrote and spoke widely on Protestant religion and on Massachusetts history, with a particular focus on Salem and the late 17th century witch trials of that area.
