Summary

"Salem Village was a small Puritan town, miles away from anything. And in the winter of 1691, it was a cold, lonely place. But when local girls began acting strangely, over two hundred people were accused of practicing witchcraft. How could a few girls sway an entire village and convince officials to execute twenty people? Learn about the disturbing details that led to the Salem Witch Trials and the aftermath of this dark and terrible part of American history."--Back cover
