In 1824 in Washington, D.C., Ann Mattingly, widowed sister of the
city's mayor, was miraculously cured of a ravaging cancer. Just
days, or perhaps even hours, from her predicted demise, she arose
from her sickbed free from agonizing pain and able to enjoy an
additional thirty-one years of life. The Mattingly miracle
purportedly came through the intervention of a charismatic German
cleric, Prince Alexander Hohenlohe, who was credited already with
hundreds of cures across Europe and Great Britain. Though nearly
forgotten today, Mattingly's astonishing healing became a
polarizing event. It heralded a rising tide of anti-Catholicism in
the United States that would culminate in violence over the next
two decades.
Nancy L. Schultz deftly weaves analysis of this episode in American
social and religious history together with the astonishing personal
stories of both Ann Mattingly and the healer Prince Hohenlohe,
around whom a cult was arising in Europe. Schultz's riveting book
brings to light an early episode in the ongoing battle between
faith and reason in the United States.
