Although there have been hundreds of different books written on the Salem Witch Trials, “The Salem Witchcraft Trials: A Legal History” contains much more factual information. Although there have been multiple witchcraft scares in the United States, there were not any that were in this time frame, and they were not as serious. Between the years 1692 and 1693, more than 150 people were accused of witchcraft. Even though so many people were accused, only 19 people were executed. The book takes not only the timeline of the event, but it also shows the effects on the people. The author does not refer to the people being “Puritans”. Instead, he shows the various aspects of beliefs in the colonies.
