Warren Felt Evans vists P.P. Quimby for treatment. Versed in the Swedenborgian faith he immediately latches onto Quimby's explanation. And with encouragement from Quimby he returns home to Claremont, N. H., and duplicated Quimby's work. He went on to write six volumes upon the subject of Mental Healing.
Meanwhile elsewhere:
- President Lincoln issues the Emancipation Proclamation.
- Union forces prevail at the Battle of Gettysburg.
- Congress organizes the Arizona Territory.
- Quantrill's Raiders, a Confederate guerrilla band operating out of Missouri, terrorize Lawrence, Kansas and burning most of the town. Among the Raiders are Frank and Jesse James, and Cole and Jim Younger, who will use the hit-and-run tactics taught by their leader, William Clarke Quantrill, to create vicious outlaw gangs in the post-war West.
