This book by Dr. Emerson W. Baker is a chronicle of the events before, during, and after the Salem Witch Trials. The book looks at the different factors at play that led to the accusations and the “witch hysteria” of 1692. Emerson also takes a look at the reaction of the Massachusetts colony and their attempts at covering up the trials.

After finding this source during our meeting and taking a closer look. This article from the William and Mary Quarterly examines the seizure of property that occurred to multiple victims accused of witchcraft. The author (David C. Brown) seeks to build a deeper understanding on why these forfeitures occurred and their role in the divide in Salem.

This article will be one of my most important to use in making my final project. The article contains maps that examine the role geography played in who was accused and the accusers during the trial. My main intention for the final project is to build a “story map” centered on the role property disputes played in the trail? And these maps will be a good starting point for me to use.

  1. This is a mere seven scholarly secondary sources, Harrison. You’re missing three.

    You also list no primary sources. I know there are primary sources within some of these secondary resources, but they require their own annotations. Feel free to resubmit to recoup some credit.
