The Mormon King

About this episode

James Jesse Strang (born March 21, 1813, Scipio, N.Y., U.S.—died July 9, 1856, Voree, Wis.) was an American churchman and a dissident of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons). His unsuccessful attempt to succeed Joseph Smith as the church's leader led him to establish the Strangite sect.
