Additional Details:
Air view of harbor and business district of St. James on historic Beaver Island. This beautiful island, located in Upper Lake Michigan Northwest of Charlevoix, was once ruled by the only King ever to hold sway in the United States. Known as King Strang, he ruled his Mormon flock as a cruel and severe despot, until shot to death by members of his own colony. Today Beaver Island is a popular resort and center of educational research, and is easily reached by boat or plane
