by Charles W. Upham
On This Page
Description
Painstakingly researched history of Salem village and the notorious witchcraft trials held there in the late 17th century. Upham not only supplies valuable information on Salem's legislative and economic problems, but also recounts details of local hostilities that sowed the seeds of suspicion and fear among villagers, and helped fuel the witch hunt.Tags

Very complete, sometimes to the point of tedium, but still enthralling. Everyone should read this book or another like it. A very sad chapter in our nation's history.
There is a modern reprint by Dover Publications (1999), Paperback, 720 pages
