Lifelong Learning: The King of Confidence

In the summer of 1853, a group of gunmen landed by boat in Charlevoix, ready to do battle with residents. These armed intruders were followers of a rogue Mormon prophet named James J. Strang, who had established his own quasi-independent kingdom on Beaver Island. Join author Miles Harvey as he tells the story of Strang's amazing life and violent death. Miles Harvey will be selling and signing copies of the book after the event! Sponsored by the Friends of the Library.
