Self-described "World Famous Law Enforcement Officer," S. Glenn Young was once an agent with the government, bringing in draft dodgers from World War I. He later served as a prohibition agent. But he is best known for his reign of terror as "Napoleon" of "Bloody Williamson" county, Illinois in the 1920s.
Presenting himself as a paragon of virtue, the one to bring law and order back to the streets of Herrin and Marion, Illinois, Young gathered a large and dedicated group of followers around him--including many local ministers. Together they worked to rid the county of the demon rum, and fight against the lawlessness that came with it. They sought to remove corrupt officials from their elected offices, and show how things ought to be run. But the liquor raids were primarily against foreigners and union workers. And Young was a not-so-secret member of the Ku Klux Klan.
