Scott and Mickey discuss the very bizarre story of James Jesse Strang, founder of the now-defunct city of Voree, WI in Walworth County. Strang claimed to be the rightful heir to the leader of the Church of Latter-Day Saints, after its founder, Joseph Smith, was gunned down in 1844.

After claiming he was shown where to find buried ancient texts in Voree by visions of angels, Strang amassed a following of thousands who praised him as a prophet of God and eventually crowned him as their king - in the only royal coronation ever held on American soil.

Corrupted by a rule of absolute power, Strang's "royal" reign was strewn with violence, greed, and deciept, as his followers began to conspire against him, and even the then President of the United States schemed to take him down.

Learn about this fascinating personality in American history on episode 21 of Badger Bizarre, "The Reign of King Strang."
