The Halcyon Order and James Strang's Legacy

It details Strang's teachings on environmental stewardship, his coronation spectacle, and the resultant community tensions culminating in his tragic assassination. The chapter also examines the aftermath for Strang's followers and the enduring legacy of the Strangite movement within Latter-day Saint history.
