The book is a comprehensive collection of primary sources that document the witchcraft cases that occurred in New England between the years 1648 and 1706. The author has compiled various court records, letters, and other documents that provide a detailed account of the trials and executions of people accused of witchcraft during this period. The book also includes an introduction by the author that provides historical context and analysis of the events. This book is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history of witchcraft in New England and the early American colonies. These narratives of witchcraft are no fairy tales. Weird as they seem to us, they were the most intense of realities to thousands of men and women in 17th century America. They were the bulletins of a war more actual, more cruel, more momentous, than any fray of flesh and blood. To those enlisted in this war in the age-long war of Heaven with Hell, they were instruction, encouragement and appeal. To count the matter a panic local to New England, or even a passing madness in the Christian world, is to take a narrow view of history. In addition to 13 original narratives by judges, ministers, government officials, and others involved in the trials and persecution of the accused, many firsthand reports from the men and women charged with sorcery appear here, along with accounts of the evidence against them, tests for witchcraft, trials and executions, and much more.
