Conditions behind the witchcraft frenzy stretched back to the founding of New England and were found in every settlement.
The Devil’s Glove examines a village on the Maine frontier. In 1688, all the ingredients for a witchcraft frenzy were in place: a female healer; an oppressive religion; friction between settlers and Native Americans; fear of French ambitions; and stress over colonial governance.
