When we left off in part 1 Eleazer Williams had begun to push the Oneida to move from New York to Wisconsin. Nothing about this endeavor would be easy, as the Oneida and his benefactors began to question his reliability. As Williams's influence waned, he struggled to stay relevant in Wisconsin and New York. He would eventually adopt a new angle, one that would make his name known across the nation. His claim to be the Lost Dauphin of France was published worldwide, and even Mark Twain and the Prince de Joinville both commented on the story. Tune in to learn about the second part of Eleazer Williams's Life and learn once and for all if Eleazer Williams was the true Lost Dauphin.
