Overview

In the early 1900s, the Osage Indian Nation in Oklahoma became the wealthiest group of people per capita in the world due to the discovery of oil on their land. This wealth attracted opportunists, con artists, and murderers, leading to a period known as the ""Reign of Terror."" Among those drawn to the Osage wealth was William K. Hale, a prominent cattleman who posed as a friend to the Osage while orchestrating a series of murders to gain control of their oil headrights. The investigation into these murders became one of the FBI's first major homicide cases. Osage Murders delves into the dark history of this era, exploring the intricate web of deception, betrayal, and greed that devastated the Osage community. Through detailed accounts and historical records, the book sheds light on the resilience of the Osage people and the pursuit of justice in the face of overwhelming corruption.
