Subject: [Michlib-l] FW: Today! Clarke Speaker Series: Unsolved Mystery on
Beaver Island
Today! We are pleased to welcome James P. Hill, to discuss his new novel,
The King Must Die.
[image: Clarke Historical Library]
*CLARKE SPEAKER SERIES*
*Death of an American King: The Fall of the Mormon Kingdom on Beaver
Island*
Dr. Hill is Professor Emeritus of Political Science at CMU.
We are pleased to welcome James P. Hill, to discuss his new novel, *The
King Must Die.*
In this 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.
*Join Us for This In-Person Event:*
*7:00 p.m., Tuesday, September 2*
* Opperman Auditorium, Park Library*
A reception and book signing in the Clarke will follow this event.
Clarke Speaker Series events are free of charge and open to everyone. For
more information, call (989) 774-3864, email *clarke@cmich.edu*
