Overview

The Order of the Sons of St. George was a fraternal society founded by English migrants in the United States during the year 1870. Its initial purpose was that of a defensive league, to protect Englishmen and their families from the murderous outrages of an Irish criminal gang known as the Molly Maguires. The order was later acknowledged with having helped defeat this terrorist gang, after which it quickly expanded, establishing a network of lodges amongst the English diaspora throughout North America. The brotherhood became a cultural organisation, with the aim of celebrating and preserving the Anglo-Protestant identity of its members. It also became a benevolent society, with an insurance programme for the benefit and welfare of its members and their families. Revealed here for the first time is a reproduction of one of the only surviving copies - dated 1931 - of this mysterious order's secret initiation rites, rituals, and oaths.
