Eric Hendrickson
Eugene Seaich’s grandson, and editor of the 2026 annotated editions.

Recovering a grandfather’s work
Eric Hendrickson first encountered his grandfather’s work at twenty-two, when his mother gave him a copy of Eugene Seaich’s unpublished autobiography. In it he learned that Seaich had researched psychedelics at the University of Utah and had written The Far-Off Land. After Seaich died in 2006, Eric found the hand-typed manuscript among his books.
Bringing the work to print meant working past a family reluctance about the subject. Since then he has worked to recover, edit and republish his grandfather’s writings for a new generation of readers, through Seaich Legacy Publications.
His work on the editions
The Far-Off Land (2026). Restored the essay from the 1959 typescript and added the editorial apparatus: commentary on current research, notes, glossary, bibliography, timeline and facsimiles. How the text was restored.
Understanding Mormonism (2026). Restructured the text into 25 chapters in 6 parts, wrote the “In brief” chapter summaries, applied mechanical corrections, expanded the bibliography and added the study aids in Appendices B–D, all labeled as 2026 editorial additions. The Foreword is his. Editorial method.
