Glenn Young for his service in several southern Illinois counties.1 He continued, “I am fully persuaded that the principles espoused by the Klan are of the highest, and that conditions which have developed in our American life have demanded just such an organization of red blooded men to bring about those dramatic changes which must be effected.”2 Sheriff Young was undoubtedly a controversial figure. While he was celebrated for his ability to quick-draw on vigilantes and lock away criminals, Young did so largely on behalf of the Klu Klux Klan. -

MAY Teacher, Public Schools of Illinois WAGONER PRINTING COMPANY GALESBURG, ILLINOIS COPYRIGHT 1955 BY GEORGE W. MAY A spot of local history is like an inn upon a highway; it is a stage upon a far journey; it is a place the National history has passed through. There mankind has stopped and lodged by the way. —Woodrow Wilson 2 PREFACE As a little boy four years old, the author remem- bers his parents taking him to old Fort Massac one Fourth of July. At the age of seven he was taken to live with his grandparents for one year. The home was in an area which commanded a sweeping view of most of the county and part of Kentucky. Those were impressionable days. At night the grandparents would tell many tales of yore about the region. A love for the home county was thus early engendered in the child. As time went by he became curious to know more about Massac county. Some of the fruits of his inquiry follow in this book. No county in "Egypt", or Southern Illinois, has a more interesting history than Massac. It has played its part under the rule of five distinct peoples. It has held from earliest times a strategic position. Interest in our county history centers around old Fort Massac. -
