From supreme president to forgotten enemy, John W. Talbot lived a
remarkable life. Charismatic, energetic, and powerful, he founded a
national fraternal organization, the Order of Owls, and counted
senators, congressmen, and business leaders among his friends. He
wielded his influence to help causes close to his heart but also to
bring down those who stood against him. In So Much Bad in the Best
of Us, Greta Fisher's careful research reveals that Talbot was
capable of great evil, causing one woman to describe him as "the
Devil Incarnate." His string of very public affairs revealed his
strange sexual preferences and violent tendencies, and charges
leveled against him included perjury, blackmail, jury tampering,
slander, libel, misuse of the mail, assault with intent to kill,
and White slavery. Ultimately convicted on the slavery charge, he
spent several years in Leavenworth penitentiary and eventually lost
everything, including control of the Order of Owls. His descent
into alcoholism and death by fire was a fitting end to a tumultuous
and dramatic life. After 50 years of newspaper headlines and court
battles, Talbot's death made national news, but with more enemies
than friends and estranged from his family, he was ultimately
forgotten. A gripping true crime story, So Much Bad in the Best of
Us offers a mesmerizing account of the life of John W. Talbot, the
Order of Owls, and how quickly the powerful can fall.
