. >> i heard about the story from an historian, and i made a trip out to osage territory in northeast oklahomaout it and i went to the osage museum. and on the wall was a large panoramic photographic taken in 1944. showed members of the tribe along with white settlers but a portion of the photograph was missing. i asked the museum director what had happened to the missing portion of the photograph. she said it contained a figure so frightening she decided to remove it. she said pointed to that panel and said the devil was standing right there. the book grew out of trying the understand who that figure was and the history he embodied and it led me to what i came to realize was one of the most sinister crimes in history. >> rose: which was? >> the systematic targeting of the osage one by one for their oil money. >> rose: to take over becoming the largest per capita individuals in the world? there yeah, in 1870 annal osage chief stood up when they were being driven off their land and he said we should move to indian territory, which would become oklahoma, he said we should move there the land is

and they resettled in northeast oklahoma. and then, of course, lo and behold this seemingly forsaken land turned out to be sitting upon the largest deposits of oil not then in the united states. >> why did jefferson, what prompted him to go back on his word? >> the same reason for land that prompted so many administrations to force the native-americans off their land. it was essentially to take the land from the native-americans to provide them to white settlers. in oklahoma, many of the tribes were alotted in the late 1800s. you could see the land runs where they would rush out on their horses and on foot and if they could get to a par self land first and put a stake in it, they would lay claim to the land. it was really about land. in many cases, the murders became a microcosm of the same earlier force that's had been playing out in the country for centuries. >> how long before they were in oklahoma and realized that they were sitting on, you know, sitting on oil? >> yeah. >> they had the beverly hillbilly experience. >> th
