About the authors

John C. Lester

An early Tennessee writer tied directly to the first Ku Klux Klan, he is remembered chiefly for co-authoring one of the earliest book-length accounts of the group. His work is now read mainly as a historical source that reflects the attitudes and myths surrounding the Klan in the late 19th century.
