[“Great on Kindle” are ebooks that are marked so by Amazon because they look great on a Kindle, eg they did their homework with formatting, etc, it’s not a lazy PDF scan and such]

Amazon describes this book as follows:

“A story of faith and fraud in post–Civil War America, told through the lens of a photographer who claimed he could capture images of the dead

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, who arrived at his studio in disguise amidst rumors of séances in the White House.”
