Publisher's Synopsis
""The Introduction of Knight Templarism into America"" is a historical account of the origins and development of the Knights Templar in the United States. Written by Albert G. Mackey, a prominent Masonic historian, the book explores the early history of the Knights Templar, their role in the Crusades, and their eventual dissolution in the 14th century. Mackey then traces the revival of interest in the Knights Templar in the 18th and 19th centuries, particularly in America, where Freemasonry and the Knights Templar became closely intertwined. The book includes detailed descriptions of the rituals and ceremonies of the Knights Templar, as well as biographical information on key figures in the organization's history. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Freemasonry and the Knights Templar, as well as the broader history of America in the 18th and 19th centuries.THIS 38 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: History of Freemasonry Part 5, by Albert G.
