Death of an American King: the fall of the Mormon kingdom on Beaver Island

Details:

We are pleased to welcome James P. Hill to speak about his new novel.

In this new novel, a future CMU professor explores the unresolved issues behind the conspiracy to assassinate King James Jesse Strang of Beaver island in 1856. In his research journey, the professor faces political threats from those who do not want this issue resurrected and evidentiary hurdles to re-examine an old issue most historians considered settled. His unusual methodology results in new insights into the King Strang assassination plot. 

Dr. Hill is Professor Emeritus of Political Science at CMU. 

A reception and book signing in the Clarke follows the event.
