Charles Wentworth Upham was een Amerikaanse politicus en een belangrijk historicus van Massachusetts, met een bijzondere focus op de geschiedenis van Salem en de beruchte heksenprocessen van het einde van de 17e eeuw. Als tegenstander van de opkomende transcendente beweging schreef en sprak hij veel over de protestantse religie en de geschiedenis van Massachusetts. Zijn nauwgezette werk over de heksenprocessen van Salem blijft een boeiende studie van deze duistere periode, die diepgaande inzichten biedt in de gebeurtenissen en de samenleving die deze vormden.
