Review: Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI

Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI by David Grann
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Easy and engaging audiobook! I've read a few novels that discussed the Osage murders, and so this nonfiction work filled in the blanks for me. So many senseless murders of Native Americans, only to line the pockets of greedy white people. Stupid to think that Osage weren't "trusted" enough to handle their oil money and needed white "guardians" to manage (or steal) their money. Disgusting. And crazy to think that all this wasn't settled until 2011 when our American government paid the Osage over $300 million in apology money.
