The House of the Seven Gables by Nathaniel Hawthorne Annotated Edition by Nathaniel Hawthor Pdf
Nathaniel Hawthorne was born on July 4, 1804, in Salem, Massachusetts. He was a descendant of a long line of Puritan ancestors including John Hathorne, a presiding magistrate in the Salem witch trials. In order to distance himself from his family's shameful involvement in the witch trials, Hawthorne added the "w" to his last name while in his early 20s. Also among his ancestors was William Hathorne, one of the first Puritan settlers who arrived in New England in 1630.
