Charm Doctors and Witches: Southern Appalachian Folklore

By Wilbur G. Marsh

Charm doctors are positioned as "granny witches" of the past have been romanticized as simple folk healers, when in actuality they were often the ones who would fan the flames of intolerance to mobilize communities against innocent people that they accused of diabolical witchcraft. This book is a fascinating journey through witch hysteria and superstations between 1830 and sometime in the 1937, and includes cases from Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia, North Carolina, and Georgia. In its pages, you'll find seven cases that are notable for revealing the methods of charm doctors, as well as what people once believed about witches and how those fallacies almost destroyed the lives of so many.
