First edition. Narrow octavo. 7[-8] pp. Publisher's printed blue wrappers. Slight sunning to edges but a very good copy.This is the "First Lesson in the Science and Art of Klancraft." Surely they hired a lowly Yankee ad man to write this bit of purple prose in defense of their maliciousness. We all know of the Klan but this little publication tried to raised them to the rank of a religion. We read on the cover: "Being Official Instructions in K-uno in the border Realm of Karacter from the one who traversed the Realm of the Unknown, wrested the solemn Secret from the grasp of Night and became the Imperial Master of the great lost Mystery. Words of timely Wisdom from the soul of the great Imperial Wizard, who out of Mystic Darkness brings Light." The Imperial Wizard at the time was H. W. Evans, familiar with the ancients and keeper of secret wisdom traditions, was a dentist in Atlanta.
