This book is an enjoyable and excellent read. It allows greater insight to the victims as well as a view of the mindset of others who suffered and experienced this tragic event than other books I've read on this subject. I purchased this Guide after learning that it was a source and reference for the music and story in the Believers Beware CD. This book, with its pictures and well researched references, convinced me that we have much to learn about ourselves from a study of history and a reflection on those who came before. Thank you David Brown. The Reverend John Hale (1702), may have said it first - but I think you've told it best.

It is not often that you can find a magical piece of literature that allows you to view the story as if you are getting a personal tour of the event. This wonderful creation is one of the best I have read on the historic Salem Witch Trials. As it may not be the most beautiful memory in our nations past, this books allows children, teens, people interested in the Salem Witch Trials an inside look on the experience that grabbed many people by their hearts, and in many cases those few years, by thier freedom and lives. I hope you will take the time, as I have, to read this wonderful piece, and add the new-found knowledge to some use!

A Guide to the Salem Witchcraft Hysteria of 1692 by David C. Brown is one of the best, most educational books I've ever read. Published in 1984, this 132 non-fiction book really settles in on the true story of what happened during the Salen Witch Trials, which you'll come to find is more terrifying than what the media and wrapped up myths put it out to be. The book holds nothing back when it comes to everything you could ever want to know about the little details, even within only 132 pages. I deeply enjoyed the book because I've researched the Salem Witch Trials before, but nothing has ever been this clean and deep. It's educational and exciting. If you're even considering reading it, do it, becaause you won't regret it. It's a riveting story that is not only scary, but it really happened, which makes you all the more want to read further into it.

I bought this book for a school paper and I have yet to read, but from the reviews I read about this book people loved it and said it was straight forward to the facts.
Book was in great condition and arrived quick!

Happy with purchase for the price and it was exactly as described! Thank you!

If you're intruiged or just interested in the Salem Witch Trials like I am I would defenitly suggest purchasing this book. I purchased this book when I was in Salem, Massachusetts and I haven't been able to put it down. I know alot about the Salem Withcraft Trials but this gave me an even better insite on what happened! Have a great read, and i know anyone who reads this will.
