The Psychic Life of Abraham Lincoln
"For nearly 150 years, historians have been arguing about Abraham Lincoln's involvement with Spiritualism and Spirit mediums. A kind of general consensus among conventional scholars has blamed the seances in the White House and the Lincolns' rendezvous with "spooks" on another of Mary Todd Lincoln's idiosyncrasies.  Now inThe Psychic Life of Abraham Lincoln, Dr. Susan B. Martinez ventures where more timid researchers dared not tread and boldly describes Lincoln's visions,communications with the Other Side, prophetic dreams, and extrasensory experiences.  Well-documented and scholarly, yet very readable, this book is a must for the library of every student of the paranormal as well as every Lincoln scholar."--Brad Steiger, author ofReal Ghosts, Restless Spirits, and Haunted  Placesand over 160 books on the paranormal.In this informative and intriguing book, Dr. Susan Martinez digs deeply into the documented records of Lincoln's involvement with mediums, and sets forth a preponderance of evidence suggesting he was indeed guided by benevolent spirits in his most crucial decisions."--Michael E. Tymn, vice president, Academy of Spirituality and Paranormal Studies, and author ofThe Articulate Dead"Dr. Martinez presents compelling evidence that one of America's greatest and most beloved presidents had been deeply involved in Spiritualism. She deserves the appreciation not only of Lincoln scholars and admirers, but of those who are attempting to enrich and deepen their own spiritual quest."--Stanley Krippner, Ph.D., author and current Alan Watts Professor of Psychology, Saybrook Graduate School and Research Center--This text refers to theHardcoveredition.
