Justin D. (Justin Dewey) Fulton

Justin D. Fulton, also listed as Justin Dewey Fulton, was born in Chenango County, New York, on March 1, 1828, and died in Somerville, Massachusetts, on April 16, 1901. Records for his books and library catalogs identify him as the author of works including Outlook of freedom, Memoir of Timothy Gilbert, The Fight with Rome, and Washington in the Lap of Rome.

The surviving bibliography suggests a writer deeply involved in Protestant religious debate and public controversy. Much of his published work focused on Roman Catholicism, church history, and questions about the place of religion in American life, which made him part of a very active 19th-century culture of sermonizing, reform writing, and religious argument.

Reliable biographical detail beyond his dates, places, and publications is limited in the sources I could confirm here, so it is safest to remember him chiefly as a Baptist clergyman and author whose books capture a combative strand of American religious thought in the decades before and after the Civil War.
