Description
The Ku Klux Klan continues to haunt America. Virtually from the first appearance of the organization in the post-Civil War South, it has captured the attention of the country. This was never more the case than in the 1920s when it had somewhere between four million and eight million members. During that epoch it was especially strong outside the South, controlling many city and state governments. Nowhere was it more visible than in Colorado. Exactly what the Klan of the 1920s was, how it came to sink its claws in a Rocky Mountain state, and the way this related to the everyday lives of the populace are the subjects of this ambitious new study.
