Product Information

When ships under the command of European settlers first sailed into the Delaware Bay in the early 1600s, Pennsylvania's documented history of strange and macabre events began. Contrary to the growth of other colonies like Massachusetts and Virginia, the Philadelphia area became a melting pot of different cultures and beliefs that all served to shape the way its people related to the supernatural, to the treatment of their dead, and toward each other. While it provided a refuge for those seeking religious liberty and economic prosperity, cultural tensions also shaped the colony in sinister ways, leading to a level of violence in the eighteenth century unseen anywhere else in the world. How, in a place that was eighty percent pacifist, did Chester County, Pennsylvania, outstrip even London in the number of murders and assaults committed? How did a judicial system hailed at the end of the 1600s as the best and fairest in the world-in which the death penalty was applied only in cases of murder and treason-make the decision a century later to hang a man for burglary? Under what circumstances was it considered perfectly reasonable, even expected, to eat the dead? Jennifer L. Green transports us through three centuries of murder, disease, witchcraft, cannibalism, and botched executions in Chester and Delaware counties, using archival evidence and research to explain how such historical oddities and tragedies occurred.

Reviews
Throughout the book, [Green] iterates that she is writing about history that has been largely forgotten and ignored due to its dark nature. By bringing these stories to the light again, she has given her readers a great gift... I cannot recommend it highly enough., It is a compendium of local bizarre and spooky events, stories, and customs... The book is a tribute to suburban Philadelphia weirdness, evildoing, and death., Dark History is a compendium of bizarre and spooky events hereabouts from the days of the earliest Swedish settlers up through a mysterious case of spontaneous human combustion (there's a catchy acronym, SHC) in Upper Darby in 1964... [T]he perfect book to keep you up all night.
