en-wikipedia-org-6923		Cotton Mather - Wikipedia			.html	text/html	12007	1117	68	One of the most important intellectual figures in English-speaking colonial America, Mather is remembered today chiefly for his Magnalia Christi Americana (1702) and other works of history, for his scientific contributions to plant hybridization and to the promotion of inoculation as a means of preventing smallpox and other infectious diseases, and for his involvement in the events surrounding the Salem witch trials of 1692–3. The last major events in Mather's involvement with witchcraft were his interactions with Mercy Short in December 1692 and Margaret Rule in September 1693.[36] The latter brought a five year campaign by Boston merchant Robert Calef against the influential and powerful Mathers.[34] Calef's book More Wonders of the Invisible World was inspired by the fear that Mather would succeed in once again stirring up new witchcraft trials, and the need to bear witness to the horrible experiences of 1692.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-6923.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-6923.txt
