LeClaire's Story

In the span of two summers, between 2004 and 2005, 12 murders occurred in the tight knit southwest side community of LeClaire Courts. None of these deaths were ever reported by local news media outlets. And Until this day this story goes untold. Forgotten Folk tells the story of this small American village thrust into a dark season; one filled with distrust and murder. Turn the pages and witness as brother kills brother in a vicious cycle of penance and revenge. Author Elliot Taylor Dugar narrates this true to life tale of a community divided where all events seem connected. However there is hope, illustrated by the author and captured in the lives of the residents of this small community.

Close and personal Forgotten Folk gives the reader an inside perspective of how and why events such as these take place. This view is needed more now than in any time in history as we as a community continue to lose our youth to seemingly senseless violence. But perhaps the story of LeClaire Courts will give much needed insight and we will all see that these aren't senseless acts of violence at all. These are the effects when you become Forgotten Folk.
