Get Well Soon: History's Worst Plagues and the Heroes Who Fought Them - Jennifer Wright

I'm just about to start the last Chapter on Polio.

 

So, these are some of the things I have noticed so far: 

 

1. I liked the second half of the book better than the first, even tho the discussions are not even trying to explore the causes of different diseases. Not in a depth or scientific way, anyway. I want to say that that ship has sailed, but hoestly I don't think that particular ship was ever launched.

 

2. There are some scary stories about medical conditions in this book - not epidemics(!), this book is really not about epidemics at all - but I appreciate Wright's style in that I needed that uplifting reference to Fraggle Rock at the end of the chapter on lobotomies. That was one scary chapter.

Six Women of Salem: The Untold Story of the Accused and Their Accusers in the Salem Witch Trials - Marilynne K. Roach

Six Women of Salem Review plus Salem TV Trailer

 

"Whenever we're looking for someway to explain our own misfortune, we're looking for outsiders, in someway a scapegoat; you know it's a lot easier to blame someone else for your misfortunes than yourself, right?  And that's the origins of witchcraft."  - Emerson Woods Baker II

"Fear is damn powerful and you don't want to get carried away with assumptions."  Marilynne K. Roach

As I began to read this book, the premiere of "Salem" on WGN American was on.  Marilynne K. Roach spoke on the preview for the show and I got hooked!
It definitely made reading this book a lot more fun, I love knowing the facts along with the fiction.  Six Women of Salem is also written in a fun way.  We follow the history of six of the women inundated with the trials, Tituba, Rebecca Nurse, Ann Putnam, Mary Warren, Bridget Bishop and Mary English.
I loved that there were bits of fiction mixed in with the historical facts in this book.  Marilynne took the liberty to write the women's thoughts at certain points to intersect with the historical records. 
A lot of research was done for this book from the remaining records. This was insightful and intriguing, seeing quotes from the accused, accusers and judges.  I knew some of the political troubles that might have spurred some accusations, but this book goes farther into personal squabbles, religious issues, war,  women's rights, racial issues and possible physiological issues that might have spurred the hysteria.  I was really interested in the story of Tituba; the historical records are quite different than most fictional accounts.  Overall, a great historical record of the Salem Witch Trials for anyone who would like to dig deeper into the subject.

 

I can also use this book for Spring Bookish Bingo!  Six Women of Salem is my book that starts with S.
