Some Unpublished Letters of Helena Petrovna Blavatsky - Dr. Eugene CorsonDescription
An interesting book writing about Theosophy founder Helena Petrovna Blavatsky by the unlikely author and X-Ray pioneer from Savannah Dr. Eugene Corson. Corson was a serious man "who swore in 6 languages", used radiography early on to document the bones of the wrist - unfortunately his own, which lead to multiple amputations from over-exposure to X-Rays. Corson was a friend of Thomas Burton Kinraide.Context
