""There is virtually no scholarship on the influence and counter-influence of spiritualism and politics. The fresh insights on Lincoln, who is generally protected from any real alliance with spiritualism by virtue of his 'difficult' wife, is a great contribution, as are the messages from the southern dead.""--Cathy Gutierrez, author of Plato's Ghost: Spiritualism in the American Renaissance ""Opens a door between works that consider spiritualism as a purely religious phenomenon and works that deal with the history of the reform movements of the time in purely political or economic terms. By developing this thesis, Lause shows how limited previous treatments of progressive reform have been.""--John B. Buescher, author of The Remarkable Life of John Murray Spear: Agitator for the Spirit Land
