Shiloh The Deception of a Cult (1862-1951)

"Build" God said to Frank W Sandford, and a series of events unfolded that would affect the lives of people across the globe. Some say Sandford was a precursor to the likes of Jim Jones and Rev. Sun Myung Moon. Shiloh, the prison like church, would be built in a rural Maine town. Its followers, the Holy Ghosters, would sacrifice not only all worldly possessions, but some would pay the ultimate price. Sanford, convinced himself and others, that he was the prophet Elijah, proclaimed he could resurrect the dead. Sandfords charismatic personality was not sufficient for the task. Follow Frank from a young gifted baseball player to leader of one of the worlds largest cults. While his followers withstood starvation and freezing accommodations, Frank and his family sailed around the world in the finest schooner of its time. His travels took him to Japan, the Holy Land, Africa, Spain, Greenland and more. His family dined well as crewmembers would die from scurvy. Read the trial transcripts and newspapers articles that capture how Frank tried to elude justice. Feel the emotions that emanate out of personal letters. Bewilder at the arrogance that cost so many so much, and compare the tragic events to modern times.
