American Freemasons: Three Centuries of Building Communities

A Song in Stone
R∴W∴ Brother Walter H. Hunt's science fiction novel A Song in Stone places a 21st century main character in the Knights Templar in 1307, knowing that the Order will be destroyed on Friday, October 13. But what can he do about it? The book explores the Templar mythos surrounding the Rosslyn Chapel in Scotland.

Freemasonry during the Enlightenment and the American and French revolutions
A glance at Freemasonry during the Enlightenment and the American and French revolutions. R∴W∴ Kamel Oussayef's annotated translation from a 1761 French manuscript describes the rituals that were used at the conception of the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry and takes the reader on a journey through the history, philosophy, religion, and social politics of the Enlightenment, presaging revolutions to come.
The Scottish Rite Masonic Museum and Library in Lexington, Massachusetts, commissioned this book. It is available in a printed version as well as electronically on Amazon/kindle.

The Spirit of Freemasonry
R∴W∴ Brother Kamel Oussayef transports us to the era of Napoleon Bonaparte who proclaimed and crowned himself Emperor of the French and, among other titles, "the protector of Freemasonry". The Vatican created a Saint called Napoleon to thank him for restoring the church privileges that the French Revolution took away. Our Brothers, in turn, dedicated in 1804, a Saint Napoleon Masonic Lodge that became one the best attended Lodges in Paris. The 520 page-annotated translation of this Masonic manuscript (circa 1804) is divided into 12 Chapters that can be read in any order. They describe various Masonic subjects that might seem exotic, strange and even bizarre to us in the 21st century. The book can be purchased at the Scottish Rite NMJ website. Book: Spirit of Freemasonry The book, and particularly the footnotes, will cast a brighter light on Masonic texts, symbols, rituals, definitions, secret alphabets and calendars that up to now were thought to be difficult for the uninitiated to comprehend. But above all, it definitively establishes that Napoleon Bonaparte was neither a saint nor a Freemason.
The book can be purchased at scottishritenmj.org.

Wise Words
"The Masonic Fraternity is one of the most helpful mediating and conserving organizations among men, and I have never wavered from that childhood impression, but it has stood steadfastly with me through the busy, vast hurrying years."
- Bro. George W. Truett, Southern Baptist Leader
