Here are some notes under the title, "Civil War - Comments not found in history books" from my Grandfather's collection sent to my dad: No woman or girl was ever permitted out alone at night in Little Dixie or anywhere in the South - it just wasn't safe. The Ku-Klux Klan was organized immediately after the war to protect women and children. One of the origianl incorporators of the plan, or one who was present lived in Pueblo and was a member of the same chapter of United Daughters of the Confederacy with your Mother. She was the mother of Mrs. Earl Brooks - I can't recall her name at the moment, but have it somewhere. The Klan served its purpose and was finally disbanded and has no relation to today's Klan.
