The Author has been researching Historic Spiritualism and Mediumship since 1986, concentrating on the physical phenomena attending the great mediums who manifested their gifts within what he refers to as the “Century of Wonders”—1848 to 1958. According to the author, “That century produced mind-staggering manifestations witnessed on numerous occasions by individuals whose integrity would be an insult to question. We have been given countless instances of positive proof of not only life after death but direct communication by spirits. It is also a sad fact that the world, in general, is woefully unaware of these titanic events which, if understood, would change the course of human thinking.”
