Author Talk: Enchanted Ground: Jonathan Koons, Spiritualist of Athens County

Sharon Hatfield has researched and written a book about Jonathan Koons, an Athens County resident of the 1800s, who turned from Atheism to conducting Spiritualist meetings at his homestead, which featured consultations with the deceased and performances by a spirit band. These gatherings drew in the curious and believers from distant states. Sharon will place this fascinating man within the context of religious belief of the time and our local history.Books available for purchase/signing.
