Carol Taylor's Contribution To "Killers Of The Flower Moon"

Amazon.com

Carol Taylor, chairman of the Hunt County Historical Commission, made a significant research contribution to the best-selling non-fiction book Killers of the Flower Moon by David Grann.  The School Library Journal says:  "In 1920s Oklahoma, many members of the oil-wealthy Osage Nation were dying untimely and suspicious deaths. The widespread crimes against the Osage and the inability to identify those responsible led to the establishment of what is now known as the FBI."  Some of the principals involved in the story were from Hunt County, leading to Carol's contribution.
