Anything that factually informs and/or educatates is a-ok in my book. Ever seen any post second world war propaganda cartoon strips about a young boy and his german shepherd dog fighting nazis? I used to read it as a young kid but have not seen it since. I came on-line looking for poop on William Randolph Hearst and found a truckload. Keep up the good work. Interesting site you have here.

It only takes a little digging to unearth writings and speeches from various pillars of the community praising the work of Benito Mussolini in the 1920s ("he made the trains run on time"), or even the "accomplishments" of the NAZIs during the 1930s, before the invasion of Poland.

I live a little north of you, Craig, as you know--nearCold Spring New York. And the Klan was a big part of life here. It's not brought up a lot, but everyone knows it. In one of the local village town halls there's supposedly a photo of a huge Klan-attended funeral. It's not hanging on the wall--but many folks have seen it. What a world, what a world. Great stuff as usual!

The 1920s Klan was very active in the Midwest---Indiana, in particular, but also Ohio. the Columbus Dispatch's venerable 'tooner Billy Ireland campaigned against it with great fervor, as I understand.

Though I remember reading in a history textbook that during the 1920s, almost every member of congress, nothern and southern, Republican or Democrat, was active in the Klan and used it as a campaign tool.
