While investigating the Knights of the Golden Circle for nearly 4 years now, I have found one source that is extremely valuable because it gives Official Civil War Reports. You can do a "simple search" on the War of the Rebellion Records website for any keywords you want to find reports containing them. Of course, my favorite keywords are [Knights of the Golden Circle]. Get ready to do a lot of reading but, believe me, you will be hooked. Most of these are reports from Federal officers and include testimonies from Yankees who were able to infiltrate this huge secretive Confederate organization. These reports give estimates of the number of KGC members in many states, give the number of weapons that the KGC stockpiled, tell of the KGC's involvement in the assassination of President Lincoln, give the oaths, passwords and grips of the KGC and much much more.
