The amazing story of Salem's rise and fall in the global sphere. Salem in the 1790's is a world capital, the richest city in the republic leading in maritime trade and run by the city's merchants. All of this seems to falter as America is expanding westward and larger cities are popping up. The finally blow is a shocking murder in high society which leads to Salem's fall from prominence and the world around it shattered.
