About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Giles Corey of the Salem Farms by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Read in English by LibriVox Volunteers. Giles Corey was an English-born farmer who was "pressed to death" for refusing to enter a plea during the notorious Salem Witch Trials in 1692. His wife Martha was one of fourteen women hanged after the trials. This verse drama was written in 1868 and published as one of Longfellow's New England Tragedies. (Summary by Alan Mapstone)
