About this audiobook

A historical novel about the Salem Witch Trials. A fantastic illustrated historical novel by the prolific American author John R. Musick.From the author’s preface:

The "Witch of Salem" is designed to cover twenty years in the history of the United States, or from the year 1680 to 1700, including all the principal features of this period. Charles Stevens of Salem, with Cora Waters, the daughter of an indented slave, whose father was captured at the time of the overthrow of the Duke of Monmouth, are the principal characters. Samuel Parris, the chief actor in the Salem tragedy, is a serious study, and has been painted, after a careful research, according to the conception formed of him. No greater villain ever lived in any age. He had scarce a redeeming feature. His religion was hypocrisy, superstition, revenge and bigotry. His ambition led him to deeds of atrocity unsurpassed. Having drawn the information on which this story is founded from what seem the most reliable sources, and woven the story in a way which it is hoped will be pleasing and instructive, we send this volume forth to speak for itself.

    Interesting content but unfortunately, some of the readers are impossible to understand. I gave up after 3 chaoters.

    The first chapter you can't understand the reader had to stop. The first lady who spoke was clear and should have read the whole book

    Could not listen. Each chapter recorded by a different narrator. Started out with numbly hard to hear Ashley Spence who also narrated another chapter. At the beginning of each chapter you had to listen to the pitch that this is a Libravox recording. All Libravox recordings are in the public domain. To volunteer . . . The witch of Salem by John Musick recorded by . . . I was extremely disappointed especially after having just listened to the exceptionally wonderful The Heretics Daughter by Kimberly Kent (I think).
