The Salem Witch Hunt: A Brief History with Documents by Richard Godbeer

3.0

On one hand, I appreciated this book's brevity: it was, as the title suggests, a brief history of the Salem Trials, comprised mostly of primary documents from the trials. Although the documents were enlightening, I wouldn't have minded more commentary from the author. A more detailed annotation of the documents would have worked, or a more detailed introduction to each set of documents.
