Really good for what was an undergraduate report! Actual analysis of the Klan's national-to-local organizing strategy, review of how their activities and presence was received, and the events that led to their demise. The 4th chapter spends a lot of time referring to counter-narrating newspapers which was relevant but sort of a slog. I found this to be a really brief and interesting secret history of Binghamton and am glad my partner pulled this out of a zine stack in an Ithaca bookstore :)
