Chapter 14 (pp. 260 – 289) "The Great Alchemist at Utica" is the story of the author's visit to the Estero in the 1940's to meet the remaining Koreshans. The members related to him the story of the community, in particular Teed's "Illumination". He was visited by an angel and was directed "to redeem the human race." This visitation led to Teed developing the Koreshan Unity. Daily life of members of the settlement and the evolution of the settlement are also presented.
