See, the thing is, "Any information" is so vague when given such a large time period.

I could talk about the civil war in America, or Oscar Wilde in England, and those are two completely different things.

So perhaps you could be just a little more specific? :D

Okay, famous killers? Jack the Ripper.

As a friend has told me, 'Things like vaudeville or musical hall getting less popular in the early 1900s, I'm thinking 1932 end to that, the invention of moving pictures
threw them out a lot.'
(thanks PA) ><

Witch trials? there was a lot of them.

What countries are you looking?
It's not easy having a good time. Even smiling makes my face ache.

Except the witch trials [of Salem, not counting those before it] were in the 1600s.

When I get home I'll try to find something for you. :)

Returned your PM Butterfly except I parroted Suzanne.

Once you've given it some thought - and really think - there's no rush, only then can we assist you. I, and Suzanne write Historic Fiction. *Pats Suz* (Not that you need the add extra work O, great Mod). ;)

If you're considering the Salem Witch Trials or also known as the "1692 Hysteria," well you'll be on the forefront of the 17th Century and colonial America, as well taking on the ridgid Puritans and their faith. ;)

Give it some thought...
The sadness drains through me rather than skating over my skin. It travels through every cell to reach the ground. I filter it yet strangely enough, I keep what was pure and it is the dirt that leaves.
