      abstract = {"The first comprehensive examination of the  nineteenth-century Ku-Klux Klan since the 1970s, Ku-Klux  pinpoints the group's rise with startling acuity.  Historians have traced the origins of the Klan to Pulaski,  Tennessee, in 1866, but the details behind the group's  emergence have long remained shadowy. By parsing the  earliest descriptions of the Klan, Elaine Frantz Parsons  reveals that it was only as reports of the Tennessee Klan's  mysterious and menacing activities began circulating in  northern newspapers that whites enthusiastically formed  their own Klan groups throughout the South. The spread of  the Klan was thus intimately connected with the politics  and mass media of the North" --},
