Award-winning historian Mary Beth Norton reexamines the Salem

witch trials in this startlingly original, meticulously researched,

and utterly riveting study.

In 1692 the people of Massachusetts were living in fear, and not

solely of satanic afflicti***. Horrifyingly violent Indian attacks

had all but emptied the northern frontier of settlers, and many

traumatized refugees—including the main accusers of witches—had

fled to communities like Salem. Meanwhile the colony’s leaders,

defensive about their own failure to protect the frontier, pondered

how God’s people could be suffering at the hands of savages. Struck

by the similarities between what the refugees had witnessed and

what the witchcraft “victims” described, many were quick to see a

vast c***piracy of the Devil (in league with the French and the

Indians) threatening New England on all sides. By providing this

essential context to the famous events, and by casting her net well

beyond the borders of Salem itself, Norton sheds new light on one

of the most perplexing and fascinating periods in our

history.
