Dale Justus was a new employee of the United States Postal Service
on July 21, 1986. His new job as a rural mail carrier at the post
office in Edmond, Oklahoma, assured him great opportunities for the
future. It would be nearly a month later, on August 20, that City
Letter Carrier Patrick Henry Sherrill came to work with three guns
in his mail bag and used two of them to massacre fourteen of his
fellow workers and seriously wound six others before taking his own
life. Justus's secure future almost ended after only thirty days on
the job. There have been several accounts of what happened on that
blackest day in the history of the postal service. Some accounts
have offered incomplete portions of the truth, but most of these
were written by those with no personal knowledge of the facts. It
has taken twenty-five years for someone to write a thoughtful,
factual account about this unspeakable tragedy. Walk with Justus as
he recounts a story that begins years before that fatal day and
extends well past the actual event. Experience the terror and
unfathomable aftermath with him and the other employees who were at
the Edmond Post Office on that fateful day.

Author William Bradford Huie was one of the most celebrated figures
of twentieth-century journalism. A pioneer of ""checkbook
journalism,"" he sought the truth in controversial stories when the
truth was hard to come by. In the case of James Earl Ray, Huie paid
Ray and his original attorneys $40,000 for cooperation in
explaining his movements in the months before Martin Luther King's
assassination and up to Ray's arrest weeks later in London. Huie
became a major figure in the investigation of King's assassination
and was one of the few persons able to communicate with Ray during
that time. Huie, a friend of King, writes that he went into his
investigation of Ray believing that a conspiracy was behind King's
murder. But after retracing Ray's movements through California,
Louisiana, Mexico, Canada, Atlanta, Birmingham, Memphis, and
London, Huie came to believe that James Earl Ray was a pathetic
petty criminal who hated African Americans and sought to make a
name for himself by murdering King. He Slew the Dreamer was
originally published in 1970 soon after Ray went to prison and was
republished in 1977, but was out of print until the 1997 edition,
published with the cooperation of Huie's widow. This new edition
features an essay by scholar Riche Richardson that provides fresh
insight, and it includes the 1977 prologue, which Huie wrote
countering charges by members of Congress, the King family, and
others who claimed the FBI had aided and abetted Ray. In 1970,
1977, 1997, and now, He Slew the Dreamer offers a remarkably
detailed examination of the available evidence at the time the
murder occurred and an invaluable resource to current debates over
the King assassination.
