Excerpt:  “Albion Winegar Tourgee (1838-1905). In 1880 he published his book, “A Fool’s Errand”, (New York: Fords, Howard and Hubert). It was republished in 1989 by Louisiana State University Press as, “The Invisible Empire”. On page 79 of his book we find the passage: “There were no Colored men in the band (of Klansmen) that night. Their hands were not covered. I could see their boots and pants, and I could judge from their hands and feet. Most of them were genteel people, besides being white people. I could also have told by their language if there had been any Colored people among them. Their language was that of white men, and cultivated men.”
