Description
by Diane Foulds (Author)
During the 1692 witch trials, more than 150 people were arrested. An estimated 25 million Americans--including author Diane Foulds--are descended from the twenty individuals executed. What happened to our ancestors? Death in Salem is the first book to take a clear-eyed look at this complex time, by examining the lives of the witch trial participants from a personal perspective.
Back Jacket
Exploring the tragic personal side of Salem's witchcraft frenzy The 1692 Salem witch trials will always have a magnetic pull on the American psyche. The accusations against more than 150 people that year, and the execution of twenty, have come to epitomize mass hysteria, and the episode has become a prism through which we have sought to understand modern-day "witch hunts." It is a moment in history all of us know--or do we? An estimated twenty-five million Americans--including author Diane E. Foulds--are descended from those executed. What really happened to our ancestors? Death in Salem takes a uniquely clear-eyed look at this complex time, by examining the grueling and often tragic personal lives of the leading players--from the "bewitched" girls to the innocents they charged, the pastors who encouraged them, and the magistrates who believed them. . .
