Hooded knights on the Niagara : the Ku Klux Klan in Buffalo, New York

Shawn Lay
"A notable case study of the second Ku Klux Klan in a northern industrial city. The author illuminates the origins and activities of the Buffalo Klan, the social and political context in which it operated, and the character of its membership. The book contributes to the current reevaluation of the KKK and to the scholarly literature on the 1920's." D.W. Grantham, Vanderbilt University
