Description
"In the early days of photography, in the death-strewn wake of the Civil War, one man seized America's imagination. A spirit photographer, William Mumler took portrait photographs that featured the ghostly presence of a lost loved one alongside the living subject. Mumler was a sensation: the affluent and influential came calling, including Mary Todd Lincoln ... Peter Manseau ... captures a nation wracked with grief and hungry for proof of the existence of ghosts and for contact with their dead husbands and sons. It took a circus-like trial of Mumler on fraud charges, starring P.T. Barnum for the prosecution, to expose a fault line of doubt and manipulation"--Amazon.com.
