In the Kate Gleason Auditorium of the Bausch and Lomb Library Building, Gary Pudup will present a Books Sandwiched In review of Killers of the Flower Moon : the Osage murders and the birth of the FBI by David Grann
This haunting true-life mystery tells the story of a shocking series of crimes in which dozens of members of the Osage Indian nation in Oklahoma (the richest people per capita in the world in the 1920's) were killed in cold blood. Based on years of research and startling new evidence, this New York Times bestseller is a masterpiece of narrative nonfiction as well as a searing indictment of the callousness and prejudice toward American Indians.
