SUMMARY:Witches in Connecticut
DESCRIPTION:The harrowing story of the hanging of witches in Colonial New England continues to haunt our present-day imagination. The trials and executions of witches in Connecticut predated the more famous Salem witch panic by over 40 years. Join CMCH staff online via Zoom to hear the stories of some of the women and men accused\, tried\, and executed as witches.  You’ll learn how Connecticut successfully controlled the spread of witch accusations long before Salem erupted in panic and violence. \nRegister here. We’re offering this program for free\, but we’d appreciate it if you’d make a $6 donation to support public programs at CMCH! \nWhen you register\, you will get an email with an attached receipt with the Zoom link in it.  We will also send you a reminder with the link at noon on the day of the program. \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Revolver: Sam Colt and the Six-Shooter That Changed America
DESCRIPTION:This event has passed\, but you can watch a recording here! \nCHS is pleased to welcome journalist and author Jim Rasenberger to deliver this year’s Charles Guilford Woodward Lecture. \nIn Revolver: Sam Colt and The Six-Shooter That Changed America\, Jim Rasenberger — author of The Brilliant Disaster: JFK\, Castro\, and America’s Doomed Invasion of Cuba’s Bay of Pigs — presents the first major biography of the inventor who introduced repeating firearms to the world. With Colt’s revolver\, one could for the first time shoot multiple bullets from a gun without reloading — a revolutionary mechanism that would help spark the American Industrial Revolution and speed the settlement of the West. \nBefore his untimely death at 47\, Colt had built a vast consumer empire comparable to those of Henry Ford\, Walt Disney\, and Steve Jobs\, and his revolver had helped mold the country politically and industrially for generations to come. It was also responsible for some of the most brutal violence in the years before\, during and after the Civil War\, particularly against Native Americans in the West. \nThe Washington Post has praised the book\, saying\, “It overflows with relentless ambition\, energy\, entrepreneurship\, ingenuity and wealth\, and with deceit\, fraud\, jingoism and murder.” \nThe material for the book was largely drawn from the Samuel Colt Papers at the CMCH. In fact\, Mr. Rasenberger\, who has been a familiar face in the Waterman Research Center over the last few years\, will be donating a copy of his notes and bibliography to the CMCH to help further future scholarship about Colt. \nFREE for CMCH members\, $10 for non-members. This event will take place online via Crowdcast. Click here to register. \nAbout the Author \nJim Rasenberger is the author of The Brilliant Disaster: JFK\, Castro\, and America’s Doomed Invasion of Cuba’s Bay of Pigs and High Steel: The Daring Men Who Built the World’s Greatest Skyline. He has written for The New York Times\, Vanity Fair\, Smithsonian\, and The Wilson Quarterly\, among other publications. Rasenberger has also written for film and television\, including a treatment of High Steel that was adapted as an ABC pilot (Empire State).
