add to cart   close window

The modern Ku Klux Klan Inc., according to its descriptive folder entitled "The Ku Klux Klan-Who-Why-What," has been in the making for the past twenty years; its imperial wizard, William Joseph Simmons for fourteen years thought, studied, and worked to prepare himself for its launching. Dedicating his life to the cause, he kept his own counsel during these years, and in the silent recesses of his soul he thought out the great plan. One might have expected that such a portentous event would have been attended by some extraordinary disturbance of the celestial spheres or at least by some strange and mysterious currents in the affairs of men.
