About the author
Born in Berlin Heights, Ohio, on October 4, 1836, Hudson Tuttle became an American Spiritualist author, publisher, and lecturer. He was active in reform and spiritualist journalism and built a wide readership through books and essays that explored religion, philosophy, and psychic experience.
Although he had little formal schooling, he wrote extensively and with confidence on large subjects. His works included Arcana of Nature, Arcana of Spiritualism, and The Career of the God-Idea in History, showing how strongly he connected spiritual questions with science, history, and human progress.
Tuttle spent much of his life in the Ohio community where he was born, and he died there on December 14, 1910. His writing preserves the energy of a period when many readers were rethinking faith, authority, and what might lie beyond the visible world.
