The 19th thru the early 20th century was a time of particular interest in "spiritualism", a quasi-religious movement that believed is was possible to contact & communicate with the spirits of the dead... think mediums and seances and other hallmarks of Gothic ghost stories. The author of this book both details her own history with spiritualism, as well as makes the fascinating case that Lincoln himself was a spiritualist.
