The Witchcraft Delusion in Colonial Connecticut by John M. Taylor is a historical account of the infamous witch trials that occurred in Connecticut during the late 17th century. The book explores the social, political, and religious factors that contributed to the widespread belief in witchcraft and the subsequent accusations, trials, and executions of numerous individuals. Taylor delves into the lives of those accused of witchcraft, their accusers, and the legal proceedings that took place. He also examines the role of the Puritan church in perpetuating the belief in witchcraft and the impact that these trials had on the people of Connecticut. Through meticulous research and analysis, Taylor provides a comprehensive understanding of this dark chapter in American history and its lasting effects on society.1908. The true story of witchcraft in Connecticut has never been told. It has been hidden in the ancient records and in manuscripts in private collection, and those most conversant with the facts have not made them known for one reason or another. It is written here, from authoritative sources, spanning the years 1647-1697. This story should prove of interest and value as a present day interpretation of that strange delusion, which for half a century darkened the lives of the forefathers and foremothers of the colonial days.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
