Chapter 1: “Born of Salem Soil: The Origins of Richard Ingersoll”

Richard Ingersoll was born in Salem, Massachusetts, in 1678—a town steeped in covenant and consequence. The soil that bore him was the same that bore the trials of witches just years before his birth, a place where sermons thundered louder than court verdicts and where lineage, faith, and land were tightly interwoven.
