Author and historian Mary Beth Norton examines the Salem witch trials from a new perspective. She argues that the ongoing, decades-long Native and French attacks that threatened New England on all sides added to the stress and fear of the community and contributed to the “afflictions” of the accusers – several of whom were, themselves, refugees from frontier attacks. (2002, paperback)
