"The Salem witch trials marked one of the darkest moments in U.S. history. In 1692, two young children were accused of being bewitched and were arrested. More than 150 arrests occurred over the next two months, and a special court was created to try the cases. A total of 20 people were found guilty of being witches, and all of them were hanged. Inside this compelling volume, readers are presented with the facts of the Salem witch trials through primary sources from the era."--Publisher's description.
