Summary
-
The author gives a detailed history of one of the most famous Masons, Albert Pike, Grand Commander of the Southern Jurisdiction of the Scottish Rite for 32 years. Albert Pike is best known for his massive work, "Morals & Dogma", which many Masons own but have barely read. Pike, a Brigadier General in the Confederate Army, was accused of being instrumental in forming the Ku Klux Klan, and this paper delves into the evidence claiming him to be such.
