Salem Story: Reading the Witch Trials of 1692

I have to do a research paper for a college class I'm taking. I chose to do my paper on The Salem Witch Trials, and after buying this book, I must say that it has given me correct, and in-depth information that is far better than the information I could find online. This is the book to read if you want the factually accurate truth about Salem. (on a side note, it's can get to be a little slow in parts because every detail is explained, so if you want exciting stories about witches, you're better off with Harry Potter)

I found this boof to be very well written and to the the point. I was very into it the intire time i was reading which is abnomal for me. Sorry this is all new for me. This is my first time for this.

This is an original piece of scholarship that for the first time corrects numerous errors in both the popular and scholarly traditions about what went on in Salem in 1692. Rosenthal makes judgments while giving us enough of the historical record to allow us to assess the wisdom of these judgments. Future studies will have to take account of this compelling work.--Norman T. Burns
