76902The charter rules of Barbaric Creed a Harley Davidson motorcycle club which likely was formed in Southern California in the 1970s. The four-page document is housed in a commercial blue cardstock folder with no date or location. There are no mentions of Barbaric Creed in newspaper reports or in references on 20th century motorcycle clubs. The date and location offered are presumed because of unrelated materials acquired along with this folder.<br /> <br /> The first page of the document is a preamble which is followed by three pages of rules concerning membership recruitment and conduct. In addition to being Harley Davidson riders only members are required to attend 2/3 of meetings and be "responsible for their prospects and their ol' ladies actions."<br /> <br /> Given the menacing name and some of the language in the rules it appears the club was in the "outlaw" camp. Members could not join other clubs or belong to law enforcement anyone who left the group was required to forfeit their colors and any "beefs" would be settled internally. The rules conclude: "This club does not condone the use or possession of drugs alcohol or any controlled substances This is just a disclaimer of responsibility. If any member or members engage in illegal activity that's your business. Don't involve the club. Don't even think about rippin off a brother - it will be your ass if you do."<br /> <br /> A unique and compelling internal document from the underground world of postwar American motorcycle clubs and gangs. unknown

A nearly fine copy. <br /> <br /> A wonderful excerpt from Head's Proteus Redivivus or the Art of Wheedling 1679 in which Head describes the increasingly lucrative business of bookbinding and how its craftsmen slowly yielded to the wealth and ease of bookselling letting their tools rust in their leisure and wealth.

Fragments and extraneous envelopes as found. <br /> <br /> BOX 2: Remnants of 3 original binders from which the archive was removed. <br /> <br /> -------------------------------------<br /> <br /> The original Ozark Motorcycle Club was founded in 1927 by a group of twenty St. Louis cycling enthusiasts including Mike Verderber who appears to have been the original keeper of these documents Louis Ahrens first President Fred Tremozini Vice President Hank Eiler and sixteen others. It is unclear when the group began holding formal meetings; extant minutes for this iteration of the club begin with June 15 1928 and end without warning or explanation on Oct 18 1929 leaving about twenty blank leaves in the minute book. As this last recorded meeting was held just six days before the stock market crash the cause for this cessation of club activities may be conjectured. We can find no public mention of the Club in its pre-Depression phase; the minute book included here would appear to be the only record of its existence. <br /> <br /> The Club was reconstituted on August 16 1935 in the depths of the Great Depression by Verderber and about twenty others. Included here are multiple drafts both in manuscript and mimeograph for the new Club's Constitution and By-Laws which specify that members shall be "White Male Riders and Owners of Motorcycles" emphasis in the original but "may bring their wives or such persons as they see fit to club-affairs." The earliest minutes appear to be missing but the archive's record of meetings is complete from January 1937 to March 1 1940 which appears to have been the Club's last official meeting so marked in the minute book though other evidence included in the archive suggests that the club persisted for at least a few more years perhaps more as a social group than a functioning organization. For the first two years meetings focus mostly on club events including meets tours and rallies. The availability of beer at meetings is a topic that arises with some frequency as does the matter of the American Motorcycle Association for which at least a few members express strong antipathies see our note regarding Outlaw motorcycle clubs below; at one point it appears that a club faction even attempts to launch their own regional association the Midwest Motorcycle Association to challenge the AMA's supremacy in the promotion of meets "gypsy tours" and hill climb events. Eventually the Ozark M.C. appears to have made the decision to affiliate with the A.M.A. though we mysteriouly do not find any vote for this decision in the meeting minutes just correspondence from the AMA sanctioning club events but it clearly cost the club some members: by 1938 membership had dwindled from 22 riders to no more than a dozen. In later years beginning especially around mid-1939 meetings address with increasing urgency the Club's dwindling membership and futile attempts to collect dues from the many members in arears. By early 1940 it seems the eight remaining members can agree on very little; the minutes grow sparse and by March of that year the Club appears defunct. <br /> <br /> This winding narrative is supported by the archive's many other documents including correspondence which includes several lengthy letters from club president Verderber to prominent public figures including Franklin Delano Roosevelt publicity materials and especially photographs which are remarkable: all are vernacular nearly all captioned with names and dates taken during biker events throughout the midwest evoking the rough-and-tumble nature of early cycling events and the decidedly proletarian milieu in which they took place. "Outlaw" culture was still a few years away from being fully articulated by clubs such as The Outlaws The Boozefighters The Bandidos and others; but its roots are most definitely to be found among these risk-taking beer-drinking blue-collar riders of the Great Depression.<br /> <br /> The roots of Outlaw motorcycling in America have been widely documented typically traced to the years directly after the Second World War when returnig G.I.'s out of work and deprived of the close bonds they'd formed in battle found an outlet in the rough and occasionally dangerous world of open-road cycling. "Outlaw" Clubs - those that refused to affiliate with the American Motorcycle Association a commercial trade organization founded in 1924 - developed a mostly undeserved reputation for antisocial and sometimes violent behavior cemented in the public imagination by the 1953 Marlon Brando film The Wild One and its many imitators. But as is clear from the evidence in this archive an independent and contrarian spirit prevailed even in the pre-War years and we suspect it was members of Depression-era clubs such as this one who were most active in forming the post-war Outlaw clubs. In fact Verderber in one telling line from a long letter to his girlfriend included here describes himself as an "outlaw" rider - then thinking better of it crosses the word out and replaces it with "independent." By war's end such reticence would be a thing of the past; independent bikers would begin wearing the "outlaw" label proudly and defiantly. And though the use of the term "outlaw" before the war is hardly unnown - the Outlaws M.C. of Chicago were using it as early as 1935 - documentation of these pre-War motorcycle clubs is nearly non-existent making the current archive an invaluable resource for both the study of working-class culture in the midwest and one of the earliest instantiations of a uniquely American subculture. unknown
