How History is Invented: The Salem Witch Trials by Lori Lee Wilson


This book is about a village named Salem and witchcraft in Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1692. The witchcraft there was very convincing people always think that when your crops dried out it was witchcraft or when a somebody murdered a person it was always behind witchcraft. In one famous Greek story a witch named Medea was a young beautiful daughter of a king. According to the myth, Medea helped Jason capture the Golden Fleece. The famous golden wool of a flying ram. Jason and Medea had two son and lived happily for 10 years. Then Jason fell in love with Glauke, the daughter of another king. Jason abandoned Medea to marry Glauke. Medea took revenge by murdering her own two sons with a knife so Jason would have no heirs. This book has a lot of stories about witchcraft and shows how it could have a huge impact on human mind. This book was interesting because it shows how a average person can actually be a killer. If your smart enough you could find out the clues and know the true before it's to late. I  would recommend his book to people who like Science fiction.
