Low Twelve

Originally published in 1907, Low Twelve details a series of authentic and striking incidents to illustrate the fidelity of Freemasons to one another in times of distress and danger. Ellis felt that the Freemasonry had withstood many great trials, enduring through its foundational virtues: brotherly love, relief, and truth. Among the periods and topics covered are: early interaction between outlying settlements and Native Americans, American and international politics, the Civil War, pre-Revolutionary Mexico, the exploration and expansion of the West, and the abduction of William Morgan.
