Histria Books Announces the Release of “Knights of the Golden Circle in Texas” by Randolph W. Farmer
The Golden Circle Knights (KGC) played a major role in starting the Civil War in the United States. Although intended to remain a secret organization of conspirators, it is perhaps the best-documented conspiracy in United States history. The KGC’s goal was the creation of a new society separate from the United States dedicated to the preservation and expansion of slavery in Latin America.
The Knights of the Golden Circle in Texas relies on materials created by the organization and its members that have not previously been used by researchers. Many members of this organization remained in positions of authority in state affairs long after the abolition of slavery. According to Midwest Book Review, The Knights of the Golden Circle in Texas, “goes well beyond previously published work to establish the identity of the members of this organization who promoted and encouraged the most disastrous war in American history” . , rigorous study of a violent and clandestine organization.
Randolph W. Farmer is a native Texan from a family whose ancestors arrived in Texas as early as 1817 when it was still a Spanish possession. He is the author of two previously published books on Texas history.
