About the author

Henry M. (Henry Mason) Brooks

1822–1898

A Salem writer, editor, and local historian, he turned old New England newspapers, customs, and oddities into lively books that still feel full of character. His work preserves the everyday details of 19th-century American life, from spinning wheels to strange punishments and literary curiosities.
