The Allure of Immortality: An American Cult, a Florida Swamp, and a Renegade Prophet
Lyn Millner
For five days in December 1908 the body of Cyrus Teed lay in a bathtub, while his followers, the Koreshans, waited for him to come back to life. Was he a visionary or villain, saviour or charlatan? Lyn Millner weaves the bizarre strands of Teed's life into a story of angels, conmen, angry husbands, yellow journalism, and ultimately, hope.
