"The Death-Blow to Spiritualism: Being the True Story of the Fox Sisters" by Reuben Briggs Davenport is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work focuses on the lives of the Fox sisters, Margaret and Catherine, who were instrumental in initiating the Spiritualism movement in the United States only to later renounce it as a fraud. The book aims to expose the deceptive practices that the sisters unwittingly participated in and ultimately condemned, offering insights into the origins and evolution of Spiritualism. The opening of the book sets the stage for the startling revelations that follow. It details how the Fox sisters began to produce "spiritualistic manifestations" as children, initially viewing it as a harmless prank, but as their fame grew, they became entangled in a web of deception. Margaret and Catherine express their remorse for the movement they started, emphasizing their intention to reveal the truth about Spiritualism and its origins as a deception. Their genuine confessions about the methods they employed to create the illusions of spiritual communication reflect a powerful repudiation of the very belief system that gained them notoriety.
