    2. Margo Burns
    3. Greetings one and all! My aunt, a member of the Andover Historical Society, just forwarded a postcard announcement to me about Frances Hill's new book, "Hunting for Witches: A Visitor's Guide to the Salem Witch Trials," published by Commonwealth Editions, $9.95, ISBN 1-889833-30-4. Hill is also the author of "A Delusion of Satan" and "The Salem Witch Trials Reader." I have not seen the book yet, but I found this description at amazon.com: "Take a tour through time. Find the hidden paths and places where so-called witches and their accusers walked in 1692 Salem. This book reveals the truth behind the myths and helps you locate the important houses, churches, and streets of that terrifying time. Maps, photographs, and detailed instructions for touring more than fifty sites will help you understand the Salem witch trials and the people who endured them." The postcard also announced a book-signing/lecture by Hill called "Hunting for Witches Beyond Salem" to be held July 18, 2002 at 7:30 a.m. at the Gould Barn at Topsfield Common, in Massachusetts. Admission is $5.00. Sponsored by the Topfield, Andover, and North Andover Historical Societies. RSVP Salem Witch Museum 978-745-1692. Perhaps I might see some of you there? :D Cheers, Margo -- Margo Burns, List Owner of the SALEM-WITCH List at Rootsweb.com margo@ogram.org
