It ended less than a year later, but not before 19 men and women had been hanged and an elderly man crushed to death. u003cbru003eu003cbru003eThe panic spread quickly, involving the most educated men and prominent politicians in the colony.

In curious ways, the trials would shape the future republic.u003cbru003eu003cbru003eAs psychologically thrilling as it is historically seminal, THE WITCHES is Stacy Schiff's account of this fantastical story-the first great American mystery unveiled fully for the first time by one of our most acclaimed historians.
