""Was Abraham Lincoln a Spiritualist Or Curious Revelations From the Life of a Trance Medium"" is a non-fiction book written by Nettie Coburn Maynard. The book explores the question of whether Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, was a spiritualist. Maynard, a trance medium, provides her own personal experiences and revelations from communicating with the spirit world. She also includes historical accounts and anecdotes that suggest Lincoln had an interest in spiritualism and may have even had his own experiences with the paranormal. The book delves into the topic of spiritualism in the 19th century and its influence on American culture during Lincoln's presidency. It is a unique and thought-provoking examination of a little-known aspect of Lincoln's life and beliefs.1917. Also found within are portraits, letters and poems. Abraham Lincoln was the most prominent President that America has known; his actions, official and unofficial, have been the constant theme of biographers and historians, and the fondness of Americans for him is as warm and widespread today as though he had died but yesterday. The statements contained in this volume regarding him are given to the public for the reason that they are not less true than surprising; and being so, they must see the light. Praise from some quarters is natural; censure from others is to be expected. Nevertheless, what is here written is truth, fact, history and what is more, no man should question them.
