Description

This balanced account of the Salem Village witchcraft trials, including the events leading up to them, was first printed in 1702. The book was written by Reverend John Hale, the pastor of the church in Beverly, Massachusetts. His rare eyewitness account concludes it was Satan, not the accused witches, who used the manipulation of objects to afflict others. Rev. Hale had been the preacher in Salem since 1664, and was a participant in the trials, attending them and praying with the accused.

The mission of DERBY SQUARE PRESS is to find and once again make available to the public
out of print books of historical significance. This book is a reformatted copy of the original.
