"Mather was the best-known New England Puritan divine of his generation, a controversial figure in his own time, and he remains so among scholars today. A formidable intellect and a prodigious writer, Mather published some 450 books and pamphlets. He was at the center of all of the major political, theological, and scientific controversies of his era. Mather has been accused, unfairly, of instigating the Salem witchcraft trials." - Library of Congress. Unknown artist, oil painting. |

“As a first year teacher, the world history institute really saved me in the lesson planning department. History Project lessons have really enhanced my curriculum. My students love the lessons that I use from the History Project because they are different, interactive and make the students really think about the content. These lessons work for all students regardless of academic level.”
