Freemasonry and the Transformation of the American Social Order, 1730-1840
by Steven C. Bullock
"Historians have long recognized that Masons were important figures in the era of the American Revolution. . . . Offering a fascinating analysis of their rhetoric and rituals, [Bullock] discovers the early American Masons of the founding 'fathers' to be loving 'brothers.' He makes a strong case for the transformative power of the supposedly ephemeral social organizations."Andrew R. L. Cayton, Miami University
