Annals of Witchcraft in New England and Elsewhere in the United States is a historical book written by Samuel G. Drake. It is a comprehensive account of the witchcraft trials that took place in New England and other parts of the United States. The book covers the period from the late 17th century to the early 19th century, and it provides a detailed analysis of the social, cultural, and religious factors that contributed to the witchcraft hysteria of that era. The author has used primary sources such as court records, diaries, and letters to reconstruct the events and provide a vivid picture of the trials and the people involved in them. The book also includes illustrations and portraits of some of the accused witches. It is a valuable resource for historians, researchers, and anyone interested in the history of witchcraft in the United States.1869. From their first settlement. Drawn up from published and other well authenticated records of the alleged operations of witches and their instigator, the devil. This is the first attempt, so far as is known to the writer, to collect together the annals of witchcraft in the United States. It has doubtless been a question with all readers of accounts of the witchcraft cases which have occurred in America, how it happened that they were so similar to those which took place in England. The question is easily answered; in other words the similarity is easily accounted for. Witchcraft was imported by those who first practiced it in the States, and was perpetuated by the importers and their immediate descendants.
