Real Folks in JS&MN

So I was looking at my fave thing in the world, Wilkipedia, and come across this list of real historical figures in the novel and thought since we were talking about it in class it'd be neat to look at. I think we left some off...

Have you been doing that with some of these characters, Courtney? Is that what you're thinking about as a paper topic?

Thanks, Jessica, for linking us to that fine list of historical characters.

One that was left off, mentioned on the link that Elizabeth provides above, is the 17th-century magician Valentine Greatrakes (or Greatorex). Finding out about him, and updating the Wikipedia entry with a link to more info about him, would be a good deed. Remember that Wikipedia is a collaboration that depends on input from all its users to work.
