You will also answer a few questions to evaluate the credibility of the information in each source.

Primary resource: In 1689, Mather published Memorable Providences, Relating to Witchcrafts and Possessions, an account of a witchcraft case in Boston.
Mather calls himself an eyewitness to the event. Do you think eyewitness accounts are always believable? Why or why not? Write your answer in 50 to 75 words.
