Bibliography

Primary
Books
MacBain, Jenny. The Salem Witch Trials A Primary Source Hisory of the Witchcraft Trials in Salem, Massachusetts. New York: Rosen Group, 2003. Print. This was a great addition to my website. Its a primary source, so there were quotes, documents, pictures, and written records. It gave me a more understanding of different characters involved in the Trials by reading the records.

Documents
Cases of Conscience Concerning Witch Craft By Increase Mather This was an original document I put on my website. This allowed me to learn more about how Increase Mather viewed witches, and helped me understand why he reacted the way he did during the trials. Letters of Governor Phips This is an orginal document, which makes it a primary resource. It gave me new perspective and a different understanding of Governor Phips. Death Warrant for Sarah Good, Rebecca Nurse, Susannah Martin, Elizabeth Howe, and Sarah Wildes The warrent talked about how they had commited a horrible deed and had not pleaded guilty, even though they had been accused. This reminded me of how unfair the courts and trials were. There wasn't any actual, reliable proof for any of these deaths. Petition of Mary Easty waiting convention This petition refereed more to Mary's beliefs in God, and her religion. This was helpful in my Beliefs section. Petition of John Proctor waiting convention I read the petition, and it was very sad. John is writing that some of the deaths are unfair. Like a boy who was accused of being a witch for a month, and that their mother had made them so, yet she had been confined for nine weeks. It just doesn't add up! Its sad, and it made me more passionate about the project, and added a nice document to my website.
