On November 5, 2020, Miles Harvey, award-winning journalist and best-selling author, spoke to a Clarke Historical Library audience via Webex, a web conferencing tool. He discussed his new book, "The King of Confidence: A Tale of Utopian Dreamers, Frontier Schemers, True Believers, False Prophets, and the Murder of an American Monarch." This book examines the life and legacy of James Jesse Strang, the self-proclaimed king of a Mormon "utopia" on Beaver Island in Lake Michigan.
