ann rinaldi EDIT: The Salem Witch Trials is not an effin' book! They were a series of trials for witchcraft in 1692 Salem that condemned 19 innocent people. Ann Rinaldi has written fiction about the witch panic in Salem. Worthwhile books about the trials include: The Enemy Within by John Demos In the Devil's Snare by Mary Beth Norton Witch Hunt by Marc Aronson A Fever in Salem by Laurie Carlson.
In 1692 and 1693, a number of "witch trials" were held in what is now the state of Massachusetts that led to the death of twenty people condemned as witches. The trials took place in several towns, in fact: Salem Town, Salem Village (known today as Danvers), Ipswich, and Andover.
There was only ONE person pressed to death during the Salem Witch Trials. His name was Giles Corey.
There were no actual, practicing witches invovled, accused or otherwise existing in Salem during the witch trials.
They really aren't. The Salem Witch Trials tried regular people accused of witchcraft and convicted in Puritan society. The Rosenburg Trials tried two people who were trying to spy on the US during a time of diplomatic hostilities.
Obviously, the Salem Witch Trials tried a very different crime. But, other than that, the Salem Trials were very much like a normal civil trial today.
