Our next book is Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI (2017) by David Grann. It was a finalist for the National Book Awards and was named book of the year by several organizations. The New York Times called it “disturbing and riveting.” It is available in paperback for around $14 and as an ebook for about $12. We will read through the first thirteen chapters for the next meeting. Be sure and drop by on the 21st. We will be much less disturbing but just as riveting.
Among the mid-19th century waves of immigrants from northern Europe to the U.S, and Minnesota, the Romansh people from Switzerland were a small but influential group, Often counted with Swiss immigrants as a whole, or with German, French, or Italian immigrants, their story in Minnesota, though carefully saved in family histories, has not been well known publicly.
