Looking for a similar book to Killers of the Flower Moon (David Grann)

Hi all, I am looking for a similar book to Killers of the flower moon from David Grann. As a European, this is a part of history quiet unknown to me and I'd like to read more about the Indian history in the USA. I came across this book and I found it very interesting which made me want to know more, especially as it is based on real events. Thanks in advance for your suggestions :)

Suggestions for Killers of the Flower Moon

Hi! This sub was a great idea!

I'm reading Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI by David Grann.

It's a nonfiction account of the conspiracy-shrouded murder of dozens of members of the oil-rich Osage tribe in Oklahoma in the 1920s. Equal parts mystery, western, and crime drama, and a stark depiction of the mistreatment of Native Americans by the US government.

It's a fantastic book and I'm about 1/3 of the way through it. I would need instrumental-only music. Any ideas?

Could the rumors be true? The Dark Side of the Flower Moon exists...

This idea has been floating around for a while, but I can now confirm that FOTB syncs perfectly with the 1991 Steve Martin classic of the same name. I invite you to follow the hashtag #TDSOTFM on twitter to find the official rules to the Dark Side of the Flower Moon Challenge and check out the amazing clips already posted. From the opening credits, to Kieran Culkin wearing a ciao shirt during Bambina, to the end credits perfectly closing on Flower Moon, it’s impossible to think this is all a coincidence. Enjoy!

I felt inspired to sprinkle dried flowers around the water I set out to charge under the full moon, and it was incredibly beautiful. (Also hoping there’s enough room in the jar so it doesn’t shatter as the water freezes...)

Charles Hyde, the Full Moon Lunatic - Forgotten serial killer who inspired Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde?

Recently I was researching the belief in 'Full Moon Madness', or the 'Lunar Effect', which posits that humans respond to lunar phases, with crime and mental turbulence rising on full moons. The jury is out on whether it exists or not. In the 1800's however it was used as a legal defense, reflecting its entrenched belief. In fact the words lunatic and lunacy actually come from this concept, being derived from Latin luna (moon).

In the course of this research I came across a particularly strange item in the popular Readers Digest 1982 encyclopedia 'Into the Unknown';

"In a 19th century homicide trial, so the story goes, Charles Hyde, the defendant, pleaded innocence on the grounds that the new and full moons regularly drove him mad. Hyde supposedly lost his case but achieved an immortality of sorts; Robert Louis Stevenson may have used him as a model for Dr. Jekyll's murderous alter ego."

Immediately I was struck by all the caveats in the story; "so the story goes" "supposedly lost" "may have used him." Secondly I was surprised that I had never heard of this historical source for Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. I'm no Stevenson scholar, but I had always thought the story was based on emerging psychoanalytic theory, as well as the real life murders committed by a French teacher Stevenson had actually known socially.

A quick search revealed that the story wasn't cited in Stevenson biographies, nor anywhere else except a handful of online articles about the lunar effect, none of which cite a source. At times the information contradicts each other. For example, while Readers Digest said he was "supposedly" unsuccessful, others remember him being acquitted. The date is often set in the 1880's. The scope and nature of his murders are left totally unknown. Here's a selection:

  • "The English laborer Charles Hyde was acquitted on murder charges on the grounds that he was under the spell of the full moon." - http://archive.is/tdr2k#selection-575.385-575.511
  • "In the 1880s, Charles Hyde of England successfully avoided murder charges by claiming that the full Moon caused him to go crazy. " - https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Lunar_effect.
  • "A series of chilling murders by Charles Hyde in the late 1880s - the inspiration for Robert Louis Stevenson's Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde - were committed under a full moon. " - [http://news.bbc.
