After oil was discovered beneath their land, the Osage rode in chauffeured automobiles, built mansions, and sent their children to study in Europe. Then, one by one, the Osage began to be killed off. The family of an Osage woman, Mollie Burkhart, became a prime target. One of her relatives was shot. Another was poisoned. And it was just the beginning, as more and more Osage were dying under mysterious circumstances, and many of those who dared to investigate the killings were themselves murdered. As the death toll rose, the newly created FBI took up the case, and the young director, J. Edgar Hoover, turned to a former Texas Ranger named Tom White to try to unravel the mystery. White put together an undercover team, including a Native American agent who infiltrated the region, and together with the Osage began to expose one of the most chilling conspiracies in American history. ***** Be sure to pick up a bookmark featuring all of our upcoming monthly Book Group selections -- find them in our lobby! #BookGroup #libraryevents #librarybookgroup #bookclub #librarybookclub #bookgroups #bookdiscussion ​------- Looking Ahead: May 11: The Briar Club by Kate Quinn (historical fiction) June 8: The Correspondent by Virginia Evans (fiction) July 13: Dear Abigail: The Intimate Lives and Revolutionary Ideas of Abigail Adams and her Two Remarkable Sisters by Diane Jacobs (biography) For America 250 August 10: Heart the Lover by Lily King (fiction) September 14: The Wedding People by Alison Espach (fiction) October 12: The Edge of Lost by Kristina McMorris (historical fiction) - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/kalamazoo/parchment-book-group-killers-of-the-flower-moon-the-osage-murders-and-the-birth-of-the-fbi/200029927705500 - **Event Categories**: Art, literary-art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details ## Event venue details - **city**: Kalamazoo - **state**: MI - **country**: United States - **location**: Parchment Community Library - **lat**: 42.32526 - **long**: -85.57022 - **full address**: Parchment Community Library, 401 S Riverview Dr, Kalamazoo, MI 49004-1200, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Parchment Book Group: Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/f39bdf954485463bc2b13f8232b041690291bcacddc522e913df75dfe166af11-rimg-w1200-h628-dca0de7d-gmir?v=1775905920 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Parchment Book Group: Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI being held? - **A:** Parchment Book Group: Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI takes place on Mon, 13 Apr, 2026 at 06:00 pm to Mon, 13 Apr, 2026 at 07:00 pm at Parchment Community Library, 401 S Riverview Dr, Kalamazoo, MI 49004-1200, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Parchment Book Group: Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI? - **A:** Parchment Book Group: Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI is organized by Parchment Community Library. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "Parchment Book Group: Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/f39bdf954485463bc2b13f8232b041690291bcacddc522e913df75dfe166af11-rimg-w1200-h628-dca0de7d-gmir?v=1775905920", "startDate": "2026-04-13T18:00:00-04:00", "endDate": "2026-04-13T19:00:00-04:00", "url": "https://allevents.in/kalamazoo/parchment-book-group-killers-of-the-flower-moon-the-osage-murders-and-the-birth-of-the-fbi/200029927705500", "eventStatus": "https://schema.org/EventScheduled", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Parchment Community Library", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "401 S Riverview Dr, Kalamazoo, MI 49004-1200, United States", "addressLocality": "Kalamazoo", "addressRegion": "MI", "addressCountry": "US" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "42.32526", "longitude": "-85.57022" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "The Parchment Book Group meets Monday, April 13 at 6:00 pm.\n\nOur featured book for April:\nKillers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI by David Grann\n-------\n​Join us for an hour of discussion of the featured book.
