by Cynthia Ackley Nunn (Author)
In the early 1920's California saw a sudden explosion
of new religious thought sweeping the populace. People
had begun to seek new beliefs systems to help them try
to understand the world around them and all of the new
changes happening through technological advances and
politics. Most of these new religious movements were
benign, if a bit on the bizarre side. Unfortunately some
were not so harmless and their main mission was not to
save souls, but to fleece others out of as much of their
savings as they could. The Divine Order of the Royal
Arms of the Great Eleven was one such cult, lead by
the guileful and greedy May Otis Blackburn and her
daughter, Ruth Angeline Wieland. The story of this cult
has been told a multitude of times. This book is focused on
learning more about who the members were and what
happened to them after the cult broke up. I will present
my findings of a few mysteries as well and share some
never before released information.
that I have decided to break one book into multiple volumes.
This is Book One.
