Description

Why did the Puritans of Salem suddenly suspect that there were witches in their midst? Did the witchcraft hysteria and hangings really happen because of a feud between local farmers and merchants? Exploring new theories and drawing on the latest research, this book looks anew at a grim yet fascinating part of America's colonial history.
