Summary "The King Of Beaver, and Beaver Lights" by Mary Hartwell Catherwood is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. Set against the backdrop of Beaver Island, the book delves into the intricate lives of a Mormon community led by the controversial Prophet James Strang, known as the King of Beaver. The narrative explores themes of power, polygamy, and the struggles between Gentiles and Mormons during a time of intense conflict and shifting social dynamics. The story primarily follows Emeline Cheeseman, a young woman who finds herself caught between her dislike for the oppressive religious practices of the Mormons and her growing fascination with Strang. As tensions rise on the island, characterized by an impending clash between the Gentiles and the Mormons, Emeline’s inner turmoil intensifies, particularly with the arrival of her former fiancé. The narrative weaves through Emeline's conflicting emotions as she grapples with her feelings towards Strang, her familial obligations, and the societal expectations of the time. Ultimately, the book culminates in a dramatic confrontation and the downfall of Strang’s power, symbolizing the end of an era for the Mormon community on Beaver Island, while also highlighting the personal transformations of the characters involved.
