Books with author Roger Dean Kiser

Hidden far from sight, deep in the thick underbrush of the North Florida woods are the ghostly graves of more than thirty unidentified bodies, some of which are thought to be children who were beaten to death at the old Florida Industrial School for Boys at Marianna. It is suspected that many more bodies will be found in the fields and swamplands surrounding the institution. Investigations into the unmarked graves have compelled many grown men to come forward and share their stories of the abuses they endured and the atrocities they witnessed in the 1950s and 1960s at the institution. The White House Boys: An American Tragedy is the true story of the horrors recalled by Roger Dean Kiser, one of the boys incarcerated at the facility in the late fifties for the crime of being a confused, unwanted, and wayward child. In a style reminiscent of the works of Mark Twain, Kiser recollects the horrifying verbal, sexual, and physical abuse he and other innocent young boys endured at the hands of their "caretakers." Questions remain unanswered and theories abound, but Roger and the other 'White House Boys' are determined to learn the truth and see justice served.

The forming of the organization which became known as The White House Boys was formed to expose the bloody beatings, molestations, rapes and murder of many young boys at the former Florida Industrial School for Boys at Marianna. The University of South Florida is now digging up the remains of hundreds of boys who were killed at that facility. This was exposed by Roger Dean Kiser in his book titled "The White House Boys-An American Tragedy."

A true story exposing the flogging, rape, torture and killing of young children (ages 9-16) while in the custody of the State of Florida during the 1950s-1960s. An American Tragedy which has been hidden from the general public for more than fifty years. A story exposed nation-wide by more than sixty major newspapers and now being investigated by the F.B.I. and United States Department of Justice. Chicken Soup for the Soul Books contributing author, Roger Dean Kiser now tells the personal stories of horror, pain and abuse. The content of this book is graphic and the language is coarse. A story that needs to be told in the manner as it was experienced. The blood stains walls and floors are now locked away forever. However, the horrors the boys experienced will remain in their hearts and minds until their deaths. The decaying bodies of young children still lay in unmarked graves on the property. Thrown away as if they were nothing more than garbage.
