I absolutely love this book! It has been on my collection for several years and will make the perfect gift for the local history buff!
The book has been kept in a plastic cover on acid-free backing board. I am slightly negotiable on the price, especially if it's going to someone who will love and appreciate it as I have. Description follows:
In Bloody Williamson: The Story of My Four Years Fight with the Ku Klux Klan by Former Sheriff George Galligan, in Collaboration with Jack Wilkinson, His Chief Deputy
(Carbondale, IL): By the Author, 1927. First edition. Octavo. Pictorial wrappers; 128p; illus. Light wear and soil; Very Good.
Insider's account of the battle against the Klan's open reign of terror in Williamson County, Illinois; during the author's tenure the Klan numbered over 2,000 members and controlled the County Board of Governors. Scarce pamphlet, reprinted by the local Historical Society in 1987, but quite scarce in the first edition; OCLC finds just 7 locations.
If you're interested, email me or text. If there's any interest I will post pictures or can text or email them as well.
Cash only. Sorry, no trades.
