This is a fascinating and detailed early history of the Chapters, Grand Chapters, ritual development, and Members of the Order of the Eastern Star. From the general idea and concept of Rob Morris and the sometimes-rocky partnership with Robert Macoy to the formation, development, and growth of the Order. This is a book filled to the brim with names, dates, and details rarely found or even considered. This is an invaluable book for anyone with any interest in the creation and early years of the Eastern Star. Retypeset and restored from the 1917 edition.
