Bringing to life stories like that of Eunice Cole, tried for attacking a teenage girl with a rock and buried with a stake through her heart; Jane Jacobs, a Bostonian so often accused of witchcraft that she took her tormentors to court on charges of slander; and Increase Mather, an exorcism-performing minister famed for his knowledge of witches, this volume provides a unique tour through the darkest history of English and North American witchcraft.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: Philosophy & SpiritualityRelease Year: 2014 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
