THE RELUCTANT SPIRITUALIST: THE LIFE OF MAGGIE Fox by Nancy Rubin Stuart. Orlando, FL: Harcourt, 2005. Pp. xiii + 393. $25.00 (hardback). ISBN 0-15-101013-7.

In 1848, in the town of Hydesville, New York, not far from Rochester, the sounds of disembodied rappings were produced in the presence of Maggie and Katy Fox, and then of their older sister Leah. These sounds were promoted as having been made by spirits telegraphing communications to the living and did more than anything else to precipitate "modern Spiritualism" from the religious atmosphere of the time.
