In Salem in 1692, as accusations of witchcraft spread through the colony, Rachel Dyer, a plain and outspoken Quaker woman, is drawn into the panic. Neal shows the afflicted girls, the credulous judges and the courtroom where an accused man argues that it would take a witch to prove one is not a witch. Published in 1828, it is one of the earliest novels about the Salem trials.
A bold, eccentric early American novel that treats the witch trials as a study in mass delusion. Download the free EPUB.
