Paperback
(Independently published Dec. 2, 2017)
In the years during and after the American Civil War, millions of people flocked to the lure of spiritualism. Mystics, psychics, astrologers,and others were in vogue in the best circles. Even Mary Lincoln held seances seeking contact with her dead son. Among those at the forefront of this movement was Amanda Jones. But this was not just anyone with a casual curiosity. She was an inventor with patents to her name and a successful businesswoman. She dedicated this book to William James, who had encouraged her to write it. James is known today as the Father of Modern Pschology, and was the brother of famous writer Henry James. In this volume she explains the reasoning behind her belief in spiritualism, her own psychic abilities, and discusses her invention of a better method of canning. Overall she wrote a valuable record of a movement that for a time possessed the imaginations of millions. For the first time, this long out-of-print volume is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones.
