Oklahoma in the 19205, and the true story of a Murder Conspiracy that absorbed and shocked america, and Epitomised The Darker Side of The Wild West and its lawlessness. Native americans being herded into reservations. The fear of indians. Then oil spouting out of the prairies and changing everything. And eventually a conspiracy fuelled by greed and jealousy that became one of the obsessions of the young Jayakar Hoover one of the obsessions of the young jaya kar hoover and one of the obsessions of the young Jayakar Hoover and his young fbi. This book, a book by david grann, is a journey into americathat is closer than we sometimes think. Welcome. Killers of the flower moon. This is a fabulous melodrama, but it is also a fabulous melodrama, but it is also a human story that is full of tragedy. When you lifted the lid on this series of murders in oklahoma in the early 205, apart from knowing you had stumbled across a wonderful story, how did it affect you . |j you had stumbled across a wonderful story, how did it affect you . I have written so many stories. This was the most emotionally draining. I worked on it for nearly half a decade. I began collecting photographs of the victims and i keep them on my desk because i worked on the project. The real tragedy was, as i began the project, i thought they were, you know, so many victims, a dozen, and then one dozen crew to two dozen. By the end of the project i was looking at scores of victims who were caught up in this incredibly sinister conspiracy. And of course, they were native americans. Yes. Red indians, as we grew up native americans. Yes. Red indians, as we grew up calling them in an earlier age. They faced the most terrible problems in their lives. The land was removed. Discrimination was at a level that we can barely imagine. And then they discovered that black oil was coming up through the land and they became rich. And the land and they became rich. And the way the story begins is extraordinary, it takes you to another planet. It is amazing. They suffered like so many other indians, the osage indians. Thomasjefferson referred to them as the great nation. Within a few years, they had to save millions and millions of acres. Then they had to give it up. They were driven to the east of oklahoma. They thought the white man would finally leave them alone. Lo and behold they are sitting on some of the largest deposits of oil in the world. Overnight they became millionaires. They became the richest people per capita, not only in the united states, but in the world, and they lived in mansions. It was set at the time that each american might own one car, each osage owned 11 cars. The time had come within the 20th century in this story, but it is The Wild West. The last gasp of The Wild West. Story, but it is The Wild West. The last gasp of The Wild Westm story, but it is The Wild West. The last gasp of The Wild West. It is lawless. Last gasp of The Wild West. It is lawless. Outlaws. Power hungry. Pistol shooters. And because of the oil, this area drew. It was a magnet for every kind of outlaw. All the Big Oil Man Made Theirfortune in the osage, sinclair, all of the great names we associate with oil, they all made their money in the osage. And in the midst of it, you tell the story of a real set of murders, a conspiracy, what we would 110w murders, a conspiracy, what we would now call a cover ups yes. And a target for the nascent fbi. Yes. Jed de goede, the new director, sitting in washington, sending his main undercover to try and sort this out. J undercover to try and sort this out. J edgar hoover. It is a story that is better than fictions. It is crazier than fiction. It is hard to believe. What is amazing about this story is it has been almost ex iced from history. Removed. Story is it has been almost ex iced from history. Removed. It was huge. And it became the nascent fbis first homicide case. Hoover, insecure about his security. It became his first big case. After they badly bungled the case, and just give one example, they recruited an outlaw, appropriately named blackey, to be in a format. Instead he slips away and rob a bank and kills a police officer. Hoover was sitting in washington terrified he would lose hisjob was sitting in washington terrified he would lose his job and was sitting in washington terrified he would lose hisjob and his dreams ofa he would lose hisjob and his dreams of a bureaucratic empire would. He turned to an agent called tom whyte. He put together an undercover team. It is like oceans 11. They have old taxes rangers, one guy posing as an insurance salesman. Texas rangers. He opens up and Insurance Bank in town, with the osage. There was an american agent. There was so much prejudice at the time, he was the only native american indie bureau at the time. You undercover for us a conspiracy, the nature of which we will not reveal because it would spoil it for readers, and subsequently, a sensational trial. I think it goes deep into the american story in the sense that you can see with all of this bloodstained detail the emergence of a real system of laws and order. In the 19205. It took that long. Yes. This is really the emergence of what i would call professionalism, an effort to professionalise the law. Just imagine how lawless the country was and how one trained Sheriff Officers were. This was an attempt to fix that. Tom began his Career Riding on a horse when justice was given out at the end of a barrel of a gun. At the end he is wearing a suit and fedora and is trying to discover how to read fingerprints and analysis and he has to file paperwork, which he cannot stand. This is a magical story. As you said, when we began, it is also a very painful story. What did you learn about your country in the 19205 that you had not really thought of . You know, i was shocked, even though you grow up hearing about racial prejudice. The degree of racial prejudice that allowed these crimes to go on. These we re allowed these crimes to go on. These were crimes of greed and avarice. But they were carried out with no consciousness, because the targets, the victims, were native americans. Because of that, these crimes are covered up. And i guess the thing that shocked me most is we tend to think about Murder Stories with a singular evil force, think about Murder Stories with a singular evilforce, right . Think about Murder Stories with a singular evil force, right . You think about Murder Stories with a singular evilforce, right . You have one really bad man and the whole kind of concept of a mystery, fiction, non fiction, you capture that bad man and you feel better about society. But what happens when you have a crime story where the whole white society, the whole town, is possibly complicit in it . Of those osage people you have been in touch with, how have they reacted to the telling of this story and the fa ct the telling of this story and the fact it will now be read by millions of people . I did not know when i began the project how people would received and the desire to tell the story. I was struck at the fact that they were so receptive. The chance to tell a story that might receive its place in history with a wider audience, at least so far, my experience has been extremely positive. David grann, author of killers of the flower moon, thanks so much. Bank isa bank is a much. Good evening. If you are heading back to work, a shock to the system.
