Unmasking the Klansman may read like a work of fiction but is actually a biography of Asa Carter, one of the South's most notorious white supremacists (and secret Klansman). Masquerading as a Cherokee American novelist and using the name "Forrest" Carter, he published three successful Western novels. Author Dan T. Carter uncovered "Forrest" Carter's true identity-Unmasking the Klansman is the result.
