Currently reading the biography of Kate and Maggie Fox. They introduced the sensation of spiritualism into America back during the 1850's.
One part that keeps itself with me is the knowing that after Lincoln's assasination, and shortly before the Civil War ended, spiritualism became a novelty instead of the need to know more about the unknown. It became a way for the loved ones of the fallen soldiers to escape rather than discover. I guess it this has just been a trend for America since nearly the very beginning.
