  • ABSTRACT “The Good Angel of Practical Fraternity:” the Ku Klux Klan in Mclennan County, 1915-1924. Richard H. Fair, M.A. Me
    ABSTRACT “The Good Angel of Practical Fraternity:” The Ku Klux Klan in McLennan County, 1915-1924. Richard H. Fair, M.A. Mentor: T. Michael Parrish, Ph.D. This thesis examines the culture of McLennan County surrounding the rise of the Ku Klux Klan in the 1920s and its influence in central Texas. The pervasive violent nature of the area, specifically cases of lynching, allowed the Klan to return. Championing the ideals of the Reconstruction era Klan and the “Lost Cause” mentality of the Confederacy, the 1920s Klan incorporated a Protestant religious fundamentalism into their principles, along with nationalism and white supremacy. After gaining influence in McLennan County, Klansmen began participating in politics to further advance their interests. The disastrous 1922 Waco Agreement, concerning the election of a Texas Senator, and Felix D. Robertson’s gubernatorial campaign in 1924 represent the Klan’s first and last attempts to manipulate politics. These failed endeavors marked the Klan’s decline in McLennan County and Texas at large. “The Good Angel of Practical Fraternity:” The Ku Klux Klan in McLennan County, 1915-1924 by Richard H.

Nola: Just call me Woody, dear. Dr. May Paulissen: I can’t thank you enough for having me today. I’ve had quite an interest in the Ferguson story for a long time. But there really isn’t much information on them except what their daughter, Ouida Nalle, wrote in her book. And to meet you—someone who knew them personally—is an opportunity I never would have imagined. Nola: Don’t get too excited, dear. You might not like what I have to say. Dr. Paulissen: I just want the truth. Let’s get started. Remind me again, what was your role in the Ferguson administration? Nola: I was secretary and clerk. Dr. Paulissen: What was that like? Nola: (doesn’t respond at first. Her eyes and voice are far away and distant.) It was so long ago. Dr. Paulissen: Do you remember? Nola: Of course I remember. No one could forget. I feared there were secrets I’d carry to my grave.
