KNIGHTS OF THE GOLDEN CIRCLE JUST A BUNCH OF DUMB HILLBILLIES AND REDNECKS

A long read(many chapters) on the KGC,OAK,Copperheads before,during,and after the Civil War:
THE GREAT CONSPIRACY, COMPLETE, By John Logan
It will be well worth the time spent.

This was a great read, thanks for posting it ECS! However, it only lends credibility to the fact that all of the Knights we have identified remain to this day as unknown. There positions in the organization seem to be reflected by the lack of any knowledge that they were involved in any way with the K.G.C.. That would make them all verging untouchable status.

Thanks, L.C.
 

They went to their graves as celebrated Americans who had done no wrong.

On October 28, 1905, was a gala day for Nebraska City, the occasion being the unveiling of the new $20,000 monument erected to the memory of Mr. J. Sterling Morton, the Father of Arbor Day. (Copperhead and member of the K.G.C./O.A.K) twice Acting Governor of Nebraska Territory, Secretary of the Territory and Rebel Spy. The city was packed, this also being a record breaker, being estimated at from 15,000 to 20,000 people, more noted people being gathered at one time than ever before in a small city.
I would love to see an attendance roster for that party.:thumbsup:

They put it to the good of the "common wealth".......as in "the wealth they had in common"

YEP, for O.A.K.; they "froze" out "K.G.C."... Why HQ was relocated to Colorado Springs, Colorado. WESTWARD HO!
 

Not really, they just lost out in Kansas....then Nebraska.....and Colorado was the next territory to become a state. Same game and players just a different board to play on.

L.C. baker

YET! O.A.K. HQ was in Colorado Springs, Colorado (for the "move" WESTWARD...).
 

You are correct. They were heading there and had already entered Abe Lincoln's cabinet before they arrived in the colorado territory to start writing a constitution and installing laws and regulations etc. etc.!!!!

:thumbsup: L.C.
