Abstract
In the latter half of the 17th century, the well-ordered life New Englanders sought to establish begins to crumble with the advent of a series of calamitous events--a smallpox epidemic, war with Indians, accusations of witchcraft in Salem. Although this is not the first time or the only place charges of witchcraft have been levied, the number of people accused and put to death in 1692 is astonishing. With the actual words of accusers as a backdrop, historian Richard Godbeer talks about why the witchcraft hysteria occurred at this time and place, and how it was brought to an end.
