Killers of the Flower Moon - Grann, David
Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI
In the 1920s, the Osage Nation in Oklahoma was one of the wealthiest groups of people in the world. They had recently discovered oil on their land, and their per capita income was higher than that of any other group in the United States. But in the span of just a few years, dozens of Osage people were murdered, and their killers were never brought to justice.
A Dark History
The Osage murders were a dark chapter in American history. They were a product of greed, racism, and corruption. The killers were white men who were determined to take the Osage people's land and oil. They used violence and intimidation to silence anyone who stood in their way.
The Investigation
The Osage murders were investigated by the Bureau of Investigation (BOI), the predecessor to the FBI. The BOI was a small and underfunded agency, but its agents were determined to solve the case. They worked tirelessly to track down the killers, and they eventually brought them to justice.
The Legacy of the Osage Murders
The Osage murders had a profound impact on the Osage people. They lost their land, their wealth, and their sense of security. But they also gained something from the experience: they gained a sense of justice. The BOI's investigation showed that even the most powerful people in the United States could be held accountable for their crimes.
