About the author
Born in 1828 and dying in 1901, Justin D. Fulton was an American Baptist clergyman and author. Library of Congress records identify him as pastor of Union Temple Baptist Church in Boston, Massachusetts, and catalog records for his books show that he published under the fuller name Justin Dewey Fulton.
His surviving bibliography suggests a busy and varied writing life. Alongside religious and biographical works such as Memoir of Timothy Gilbert, he is also associated with books including Rome in America, Washington in the Lap of Rome, and The Fight with Rome, which place him within the strongly Protestant and anti-Catholic debates of the late 19th century.
Readers meeting Fulton today may find him most interesting as a window into the religious and cultural arguments of his time. Some of his works, including The True Woman, also show how directly he addressed contested public issues, making his writing historically revealing even when modern readers strongly disagree with its views.
