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, fear and resentment among villagers, and helped fuel the witch hunt. A fascinating, classic account of one of the darkest episodes in early American history.
