Description

Description from Internet Archive (opens in a new tab)

Andrew Jackson Davis (August 11, 1826 – January 13, 1910) was an American Spiritualist, born in Blooming Grove, New York. Davis was much influenced by Swedenborg and by " the Shakers" , who reprinted his panegyric praising Ann Lee in the official work Sketch of Shakers and Shakerism (1884). In writing his 1845 short story "The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar", Edgar Allan Poe was informed by Davis's early work after having attended one of his lectures on mesmerism. Davis's complete library is now housed within the Edgar Cayce Library . Davis described the concept of Summerland as an undefined location where souls go after death, the secular nature of which was attractive to some non-religious spiritualists.
