Skeptics and the Salem Witch Trials

Description

Skeptics and the Salem Witch Trials: The Writings of Thomas Brattle, Robert Pike, and Samuel Willard is an in-house publication from the SWM. Written by a long time Museum manager, this addition to our bookstore explores some of the major criticism of the Salem witch trials.

Did you know that not everyone supported the rampant witchcraft accusations in Salem in 1692? There were a number of prominent thinkers in seventeenth century New England who voiced their disagreement with these legal proceedings, among them the three men included in this pamphlet.
