Bald Knobbers: Vigilantes on the Ozarks Frontier di Elmo Ingenthron
I think this is a bery good book. It is about a very small section of the country and what went on there. Could use some better organization, but all in all seems to be factual. I now live in the area where the baldnobbers were located so it gave me an insight as to what the country was like then.
This is, without question, the best available book about the Bald Knobbers, a group devoted to bringing vigilante justice to southern Missouri in the 1880s. None of the other books on the topic has as much information.
Sadly, the information is not very well organized. The Bald Knobbers were a secret society, so records are few. The authors have had to sift through a lot of vague hints -- and they didn't really finish sifting. The book would probably be much better if it were about 25% shorter. More dates would help, too, including more references to the year. It's much too easy to get lost.
The Bald Knobbers were a fascinating bunch in a rather sick way. This book reminds us how easily even law-abiding Americans can go bad. But it left me wishing for a second edition....… (altro)
