Why We Published The Genesis of American Freemasonry

Why We Published The Genesis of American Freemasonry

An English academic writing about the founding and development of Freemasonry in America?

 

Might seem a bit surprising to some, but when Dr. Ric Berman suggested this title to coincide with the founding of the United States of America, I (and the Lewis Masonic publishing committee) thought it was a very good idea indeed. You see, an outside view can be a fresh one and comes without influences or bias.

 

I personally have a great love of America and its positive ideals, and feel that Freemasonry has been at the core of its development from the start. Thus, you can imagine how happy I was to publish this work from a great friend, ally, and respected academic and past Prestonian lecturer.

 

The Lewis editing and design team really spent time on this and the result stands for itself.

 

I very much like how the cover features two American Masonic Heroes stating side by side. Do you recognise them?
