The Island Farthest Out

At the 1980 South Dakota Black Hills CFO, Tommy Tyson traces the movement’s beginnings for first-timers. He starts with Glenn Clark on a Maine island called “the Island Farthest Out,” and with the first camp in Minnesota in the summer of 1930. Campers also hear how Rufus Moseley and the bank robber Star Daily each met the risen Jesus.
