Typescript supplemental documents of A History of the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite in the United States, 1877

Item

Identifier: A1992-120

Scope and Contents

In 1877, Enoch Terry Carson created a typewritten copy of Folger's bound suplmental documents for his history, titled, "A History of the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite in the United States: More Especially as Connected with the Operation of the So-Called Cerneau Supreme Council from its Organization in 1807, to its Final Absorption into the Supreme Council of the Northern Jurisdiction of the U.S. in 1867." He describes the purchase of the Folger manuscript appendix in his preface and warns the reader of, what Carson sees as, Folger's bias.

There is overlap between these suplemental documents and Folger's appendix in his published book. However, they are not an exact copy and in this suplement, Folger adds commentary and remarks to each document.
