Product Information
Why were so many innocent people living in Salem, Massachusetts, in 1692 accused of witchcraft? Was there any truth to the claims of their accusers, or was there some other reason for the accusations? For over three hundred years the Salem Witchcraft Trials, and the answers to these questions, have continued to be a source of debate. Author Geraldine Woods tells the story of a town overtaken by fear and hysteria, as she brings readers back to a time when rumors and accusations were deadly.Product Identifiers

ReviewsHeadline Court Cases series. Sacco and Vanzetti presents a focused examination of the 1920s trial, including historical background, summaries of the prosecution and defense cases, and the aftermath that ultimately led to a 1977 proclamation of wrongful execution. Witchcraft Trials follows a similar format but is broader in focus. Illustrated with black-and-white photos and historical reproductions, these overviews are informative, though the writing is generally flat. Bib., glos., ind., The Horn Book Guide January-June 2000
