Acknowledgments
Research for this book has been rather exhausting; in an age when more and more information is available, I strongly believe that ghost and paranormal fans deserve better than what they’ve been getting. Many organizations have made information available that helped me greatly, but among the most important were:
- The defunct Chicago newspapers micro-film collection at the Harold Washington Public Library
- Genealogy Bank
- The International Association for the Preservation of Spiritualist and Occult Periodicals
- The DePaul University Library
- The Abraham Lincoln Papers at the Library of Congress
- Chicago Tribune archives via Chicago Public Library
- College of Psychic Studies, London
- archive.org
- Project Gutenberg
