The 2/12 book club meeting has been cancelled due to the weather. We will be discussing the February book during our March meeting: Killers of the Flower Moon” by David Grann.
The subtitle of this nonfiction work, “The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI” sets the stage for what is to come. The Osage, moved from one place to another, were finally given what seemed like useless land in Oklahoma. It was oil rich land and the Indians became some of the wealthiest people in the country. As quoted by NYT reviewer Dave Eggers, “ a magazine writer at the time wrote “…The Osage Indians are becoming so rich that something will have to be done about it.” That something is what this bestseller reveals in all its horrific betrayal. Discussion begins at 1:00 in the Killingworth Library meeting room. Books can be found at the circulation desk and newcomers are always welcome.
