Join us for a lively discussion of Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI by David Grann. Some copies are available to borrow. Sign up at the front desk or by emailing [email protected].
In the 1920s, the richest people in the world per capita were members of the Osage Indian nation in Oklahoma. After oil was discovered beneath their land, they rode in chauffeured automobiles, built mansions, and sent their children to study in Europe. Then, one by one, the Osage began to be killed off.
Based on years of research and startling new evidence, Killers is a twisting, haunting true-life murder mystery about one of the most monstrous crimes in American history.
