Overview

"UPDATED EDITION Ridiculed as ""petticoat masonry,"" critics of the Order of the Eastern Star did not deter Rob Morris' goal to establish a Masonic organization that included women as members. As Rob Morris (1818-1888) came ""into the light,"" he donned his Masonic apron and carried the ideals of Freemasonry through a despairing time of American history. His voluminous writing on Freemasonry and his ability to pen poems that celebrated occasions or honored the deceased earned him the title of Poet Laureate of Freemasonry in the 19th Century. An obscure figure in American history, Morris changed the world of Freemasonry making it one of the largest fraternal organizations in the world today. This book is a revised edition in the celebration of Rob Morris' 200th year birthday, born July 31, 1818. It is based on a collection of family letters about Rob Morris' journey in the world of Freemasonry that took him across the continents. In this revised edition, there are more letters, details about his literary contributions and images."
