In the 1719 novel Robinson Crusoe, by Daniel Defoe, the main character attempts to keep birds

from eating his newly sowed corn stalks. As a discouragement, he shoots several of the birds and then

hangs them in rows, such as English prisoners. The remaining birds are so frightened that they refuse to

even remain in the area. While not the modern idea of a scarecrow, Crusoe does remark, "...I could

never see a bird near the place as long as my scarecrows hung there." (Crusoe is generally thought of as

the first English novel to use the term and it is possible that the term owes its popularity to this

appearance.)

Nathaniel Hawthorne's short story "Feathertop" is about a scarecrow created and brought to life in

seventeenth century Salem, Massachusetts by a witch in league with the devil. He is intended to be used

for sinister purposes and at first believes himself to be human, but develops human feelings and

deliberately cuts his own life short when he realizes what he really is. The basic framework of the story

was used by American dramatist Percy MacKaye in his 1908 play The Scarecrow.
