History Troll

A king was crowned in America in 1850. There was a coronation ceremony complete with a scepter, a robe and the placement of a crown by a prime minister. It happened far from Washington DC on a beautiful island near the northern tip of Lake Michigan and it involved a guy who just needed an "e" added to his last name to add the perfect touch to his place in history. King James Strang of Beaver Island, has a story worth hearing so we invite you to listen to some of it in this week's episode of History Troll.
