About: John Newbrough

John Ballou Newbrough was an American writer who wrote several books of religious philosophy from the 1880s until his death, most notably Oahspe published in 1882. He was a dentist in New York City who became interested in Spiritualism. He claimed that Oahspe was a product of automatic writing, and that when the book was written he had acted a mere vessel to transmit divine force.
