About the author
Born in New York in 1828, Justin D. Fulton grew up in Michigan and went on to study at the University of Rochester and Rochester Theological Seminary. He became a Baptist clergyman and served churches in places including St. Louis, Sandusky, Albany, Boston, and Brooklyn.
Alongside his ministry, he wrote and edited extensively. His works include sermons, memoirs, and polemical religious books such as Rome in America, Washington in the Lap of Rome, and The True Woman. Library records also identify him as pastor of Union Temple Baptist Church in Boston.
Fulton's writing is very much of its era: energetic, combative, and closely tied to the social and religious controversies of the 19th century. He died in 1901, leaving behind a substantial body of work that reflects both his preaching career and the beliefs of his time.
