This short book is about Cross's life, his relationship with his grandson, and the historical connection between the Klan and today's MAGA movement. Oliver Harlan Cross was born in 1868 in Alabama, shortly after the first Ku Klux Klan was created. He became the criminal prosecuting attorney in Waco, Texas, when the town was known as "Six-Shooter Junction." Later, in 1922, he became a spokesman for the McLennan County Citizens League in opposition to the Klan. He ran for a seat in the United States House of Representatives in 1928. He won the Democratic al White primary (only Whites could vote) and served in Congress for six years during the Great Depression of 1929, a transformative time in American politics. He lived to witness the election of John Kennedy to the Presidency of the United States of America.
