Through its extensive use of primary source materials and provision of explanations, this book places readers into the context of late 17th-century Salem to shed light on one of the darkest events in American history―the Salem witch trials.
· Examines the individual cases of many of the victims of the more than year-long Salem witch trials episode
· Clarifies the historical context of the belief systems and culture of 17th-century Massachusetts to enable modern readers to grasp how such an unbelievable series of events could have happened in that specific era
· Introduces contemporary audiences to the meaning of the archaic language and ideas of the late 1600s as used in the primary documents

"An excellent addition to the United States history collections of any academic or research-based library. Students will find this slim volume an easily accessible source of primary resources for their searches and thus it serves well for lower-level undergraduates. The extent and depth of the documents also make this work valuable to upper-division students focusing on colonial American history." - ARBA
