Well done and well presented! 

As someone who grew up in the American school system I feel like this topic is rarely mentioned or even approached. I learned so much about America in this book. I am thankful for archivists and authors like Timothy Egan for sharing the truth about what happened during that time period, since it seems like American wants to breeze right past it and not share the horrid truth. 

I was also shocked to hear my own home state mentioned a few times in this book. I had no idea about Oregon's role in the KKK or that my state has the last ever legal castration of a person. YIKES. 

Needless to say, this was not an easy read but a very important and worth while one! 

RIP Madge Oberholtzer, thank you for documenting your truth before succumbing to the darkness.
