An Evening with Miles Harvey

Miles Harvey’s, "The King of Confidence" tells the riveting story of James Strang, the self-proclaimed divine king of earth, heaven — and Beaver Island. At one point, Strang controlled a quarter of the state of Michigan. He was assassinated in 1856 to almost no one’s dismay.
Nathienel Philbrick called this book “a masterpiece.”
Harvey is the author of the national and international bestseller, "The Island of Lost Maps" and the recipient of a Knight-Wallace Journalism Fellowship at the University of Michigan. He teaches creative writing at DePaul University, where he is a founding editor of Big Shoulders Books.
His book Painter in a Savage Land was named a Chicago Tribune Best Book of the Year and a Booklist Editors’ Choice.
