    Abigail Davis’ Hanging Katherine Garret provides its readers with perspicacious inquiries into a number of different historical topics. It provides a way of introducing history (such as the Pequot history‚ the religious history of the Great Awakening‚ interaction between the natives and the early settlers in the colonies‚ the Indian removal process) to the masses.
