Description
"J Herron: A Novel Written from the Ouija Board by Twain and Hutchings" is a novel published in 1917 that medium Emily Grant Hutchings claimed was dictated by Mark Twain's spirit through a Ouija board. The story follows Jasper "Jap" Herron, a Missouri boy who rises from poverty to help regenerate his town with guidance from noble mentors. The novel sparked controversy and legal action from Twain's daughter, who sought to stop Hutchings from profiting from the famous author's name, ultimately forcing the book's withdrawal from publication.
