Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Terrible Mysteries of the Ku-Klux-Klan
Coming silently and swiftly into the most populous tracts Of the Southern country, it has taken the administration Of justice into its own hands, and made itself a terror to all evil-doers. It is especially the dread Of the Emancipated Slaves Of the Loyal Leagues, who attribute to it a supernatural origin and aid, believing that the dead soldiers Of the war rise at midnight and ride forth to slay.
It is only positively known Of the eco-elna: K lam that it had its origin in Middle Tennessee some three months since; and thence it spread its branches, in various directions, through the South - some say wherever a Loyal League has been organized among the Freedmen.
It is only necessary to read the terrible confession that follows, to be convinced Of its perfect truth.
