Description
Salem, Massachusetts in 1692 was a place of great turmoil. A series of strange occurrences, including fits and claims of being pricked with pins, led to accusations of witchcraft.
Over the next year and a half, nineteen people were convicted of witchcraft and hanged, while others languished in prison as hysteria swept the colony. This book provides an inside look at one of the darkest chapters in American history.
Author Joan Holub offers a clear and concise account of this sinister period, shedding light on the events that led to such tragic consequences.
