Publisher's Synopsis

The Salem witch trials stand as one of the infamous moments in colonial American history. The introduction explores the beliefs, fears and events that fueled the witch panic of 1692. The documents in this collection illuminate how the Puritans' worldview led them to seek a supernatural explanation for the problems vexing their community.
