Editorial Review: Product Description: The Salem Witch Trials is based on over twenty-five years of archival research--including the author's discovery of previously unknown documents--newly found cases and court records. From January 1692 to January 1697 this history unfolds a nearly day-by-day narrative of the crisis as the citizens of New England experienced it. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Salem's historyGood read. A lot of detail that requires paying attention. Recommend for anyone doing genealogy of MA. family history. Rating: - Great so farThis book is huge and a bit intimidating at first, but as soon as I started I was hooked. The author has a way of making the days so clear and I felt I really understood what was going on at that time not only in Salem but in the world around it. I kept interrupting my co-workers at lunch to read them excerpts from it. Rating:  - Don't hang this one!This turned out to be surprisingly entertaining, and not nearly as dry as I had expected. The stories/hallucinations are quite bizarre, and the reaction of the town is mindboggling. The book is quite detailed (and nothing like The Crucible, or any other shortened account I had heard) but moves quickly, and will definitely keep you interested. Kudos to Ms. Roach for a momentous job well done! Rating: - Who needs a time travel spell?In preparation for my first visit to the famed 'Witch City' I came across Ms. Roach's HUGE volume. I have always been fascinated by the dark history of Salem, Mass (in fact, I did a big project about it in eighth grade) but I wanted to be quite sure I was on the up and up about everything that went on in 1692 and I was sure that a day-by-day chronicle would be just the prescription. I began reading it thinking that I may be bored as it was very detailed but I was anything BUT bored! This book is ...

Roach created a day to day synopsis of the events surrounding the Salem witch trials for a period of several years, and the bibliography is quite extensive. Not only has this book broadened my horizons in the realm of American history, but it has also raised my own standards for what I expect from any history book, including research I do, myself. Thank you, Mariilynne K. Roach!
