Wicked Words - Miles Harvey: The King of Confidence

Author Miles Harvey introduces us to James Strang, a charismatic young lawyer and avowed atheist, who vanished from a rural town in 1840s New York. Soon he persuaded hundreds of fellow Mormon-converts to follow him to an island, where he declared himself a divine king. Was his murder considered vigilante justice?  Written, researched, and hosted by Kate Winkler Dawson/producer Alexis Amorosi/sound designer Andrew Eapen/composer Curtis Heath/web designer Ilsa Brink/additional research Ella Middleton  Support this podcast by shopping our latest sponsor deals and promotions at this link: https://bit.ly/4dsqzI1 Subscribe to my newsletter: tenfoldmorewicked.com Buy my books: katewinklerdawson.com  If you have suggestions for historical crimes that could use some attention, email me: [email protected] Follow me on social: @tenfoldmore (Twitter) / @tenfoldmorewicked (Facebook and Instagram)  2021 All Rights Reserved  Learn more about your ad choices.
