[Christine Matha]

One of the most comprehensive books on this this time in history.

I’ve just recently purchased this book, and I’m finding it extremely interesting. I recently found out that Mary is my 10th great grandmother, this is information provided by Ancestry. We all learn about the Salem trials, but never could I have imagined finding out that my 10th great grandmother was not only involved in it, she was the last woman to be executed because of it. Fascinating book.

Grandma Hatch loaned me this book in 2016. I finally read/skimmed the first 160 pages or so in 2019. Kind of interesting, but not interesting enough for me to go further. (Kind of dry!) I'm mailing it back to Grandma.
