History of Scottish Rite Masonry in Texas

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility.

You all know him and know his works. For posterity, however, I now set down a brief synopsis of his life and labors, in the Masonic world.
