Capital Crime of Witchcraft: What the Primary Sources Tell Us

Think about everything you know about the Salem Witch Trials and then forget it. Margo Burns explores an array of prosecutions in seventeenth century New England, using facsimiles of primary source manuscripts, from first formal complaints to arrest warrants, indictments of formal charges to death warrants, and the reversals of attainder and rescinding of excommunications years after the fact.
