Herrin, Illinois: Mrs. S. Glenn Young, 1924. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Hardcover. The format is approximately 5.5 inches by 8.5 inches. 253, [3] pages. Illustrations. Biography of a Prohibition Agent and Klan raider; the book contains much pro-Klan rhetoric. Seth Glenn Young was born 1887 in Kansas. He made his early reputation as a Federal agent tracking down draft dodgers in the southern states during WWI. In 1920 he went to work for the Treasury Department's Prohibition Unit. Four months later he found himself on trial for the murder of bootlegger during a still raid. He was found not guilty but the agency fired him. Shortly after that, he was recruited by the Klu Klux Klan in 1923 to clean up the stills and booze problem in Williamson County. He made hundreds of arrests and led violent raids on people in their homes who only made wine, and from there it only got worse. He eventually went too far and even the Klan ejected him. Glenn Young and his second wife were fired upon from an automobile. His knee was shattered; his young wife was blinded by shotgun pellets. In 1925 at the European Hotel in Herrin, IL., Young met his death in a shootout with Ora Thomas. Thomas also died in the shootout along with two others. Glen Young’s funeral was an extravaganza with a church full of flowers and a long cortege; the service was concluded by reading of the Klan burial ritual by the light of a burning cross. It was followed by a procession of Klansmen in full Klan regalia down Herrin’s streets. Young’s body was placed in an imposing mausoleum in the Herrin cemetery. Over 15,000 Klansmen and Klan sympathizers attended his funeral, where he was buried in the purple robe of a Kleagle. More
