Fever in the Heartland – by Timothy Egan

This is not a crime fiction story it is true.  It tells  how Stephenson, the Grand Dragon of the Klan in 21 states controlled  the police and elections with an eye to the Presidency – preaching hatred for Blacks, Catholics, Jews, and Immigrants.  In 1924 the Klan grew at an alarming rate – even kiddie klans – signs for Klan approved businesses  all taking over the small towns in the Midwest and more until the life of Madge Oberholtzer held him accountable. A powerful book that has a message for us today. – Betty (Volunteer)
