The book is, Witchcraft In Early North America by Alison Games.
This is an enjoyable read, a book dedicated to the belief in, or should I say fear of, witches found in North America. Included are many detailed, reprint documents from the time of colonial days. What I like best about the book is that it really hits home the true notion of witchcraft, as believed in by people, and not the modern Wiccan version that has no basis in reality. Covered in the book are the European, Native American, and African beliefs in witches and witchcraft. The only drawback that I foresee is that some readers may find the book a bit dull. I found the book easier to read in stages instead of one or two sittings.
On a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest, I give this book a 7.
