520    In 1843, James Strang, a charismatic young lawyer and 
       avowed atheist, converted to a burgeoning religious 
       movement known as Mormonism. He persuaded hundreds to 
       follow him to Beaver Island in Lake Michigan, and declared
       himself a divine king. He controlled a fourth of the state
       of Michigan, practiced plural marriages, and established a
       pirate colony where he perpetrated thefts, corruption and 
       frauds of all kinds. His assassination made front-page 
       news across the country. Harvey tells Strang's fascinating
       but largely forgotten story, an account of one of the 
       country's boldest con men and the boisterous era that 
       allowed him to thrive. -- adapted from jacket
