520    "In 1843, James Strang vanished from a rural town in New 
       York. Months later he reappeared on the Midwestern 
       frontier and converted to Mormonism. In the wake of the 
       murder of the sect's leader, Joseph Smith, Strang unveiled

       divine king"|c--Provided by publisher.
