Description
"Giles Corey, Yeoman" is a novel reflecting real historical events. It tells of the life and death of Giles Corey, an English-born American farmer accused of witchcraft during the Salem witch trials. He became a memorable figure in American history, as, during the trials, he refused to enter a plea of guilty or not guilty. Because of that, he was subjected to pressing. It was a way of torture in which heavy stones were placed on a human's chest until death or plea. Giles died after three days of torture. Thanks to his silence, his farm passed on to his sons instead of government.
