Requests:  0 Summary:  In the early days of photography, in the death-strewn wake of the Civil War, one man seized Americas 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. Peter Manseau brilliantly captures a nation wracked with grief and hungry for proof of the existence of ghosts and for contact with their dead husbands and sons.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 133.92 Ma Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 133.92 Ma Checked In Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library Adult Nonfiction 133.92 Ma Checked In Add Copy to MyList Wailuku Public Library Adult Nonfiction 133.92 Ma Checked In Add Copy to MyList
