"With Force and Arms: A Tale of Love and Salem Witchcraft" by Howard Roger Garis is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story delves into the themes of love and the tumultuous events surrounding the Salem witch trials, centering on the character of Captain Edward Amherst, a soldier who finds himself embroiled in both personal and societal conflicts. As a backdrop, the narrative explores the struggles against witchcraft accusations that plagued the community while intertwining themes of bravery and romance. The opening of the story introduces Captain Edward Amherst as he receives his commission from Governor Phips in Boston. Shortly after, Amherst finds himself in the midst of a conflict with another man in the governor's chambers, foreshadowing the complexities of both love and rivalry to come. As he embarks on a journey to Salem, he encounters the ominous signs of the witch hysteria plaguing the town, including a peculiar occurrence of red snow, which sets the tone for the ensuing drama. Upon arrival, he discovers the dire situation surrounding two women accused of witchcraft, including the beautiful Lucille de Guilfort, who stirs feelings within him, complicating his military duties amidst the growing tensions in the town. This sets up a narrative filled with action, romance, and historical intrigue. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
