The Salem Witch Trials: A Day-by-day Chronicle of a Community Under Siege"Marilynne K. Roach places seventeenth-century life and belief in vivid context and authenticates every assertion with a reference. The Salem Witch Trials ranges from the first instances of affliction, through the rise and demise of the trials, to the evolving interpretations of historians and the efforts of modern Salem to acknowledge its legacy with dignity amid the vocal, contradictory demands of tourism and neo-Paganism. Illustrated with dozens of photos, drawings, and maps, The Salem Witch Trials is both indispensable and compelling."--BOOK JACKET. |
