Encyclopaedia Britannica's biographical entry on James Jesse Strang, founder of the Strangite Latter Day Saint movement.
Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier2
Encyclopaedia Britannica's biography of James Jesse Strang is written and edited in-house without an academic peer review process, the middle tier reflecting a professionally fact checked general reference rather than a specialist Latter Day Saint history source. NotesA general reference encyclopedia with editorial staff and a long institutional record. Reliable for the 1844 succession dispute, the 1850 Beaver Island coronation, and Strang's 1856 assassination.
