                       PREFACE.





   THE History of a Grand Lodge should be a general history of
Masonry. This is the idea with which I set about the preparation of
this volume, gathered the materials, worked them up. To exhibit the
Grand Lodge of Kentucky, the venerable mother of the Craft in the
Mississippi Valley, in its various relations to Lodges, Grand and Sub-
ordinate, in other jurisdictions. has been the design, just now after many
years, erased from my trestle-board, upon which I have steadily labored.
With this view, I have faithfully drawn its merits and demerits, and
arrayed its venerable names, that in the judgment of posterity we may
have our due share of honor for maintaining and carrying forward the
Institution for nearly threescore years.
  The labor expended upon this volume, will best be estimated when it
is known that I have had no predecessor in an American Masonic His-
tory. This is the first History of Masonry ever published in this country
whose statements are facts alone, and for every fact recorded here, an
amount of research has been expended amounting to real extravagance
in point of time and labor. Like the task of the pioneers in the primeval
forests of the "Dark and Bloody Ground," mine has been to enter alone
into a rich soil heretofore unworked, and draw, with great labor, the
first fruits from the virgin fields. Every detail in comparing conflicting
statements, reconciling discrepancies, etc., out of which this history has
been composed, partakes, therefore, of the nature of a discovery. So
much it was due the author to say.
  If the work appears to be overloaded with references, it must be at-
tributed to an anxiety to leave a clear path in which future historians.
may walk with certainty.
  The original prospectus of this History, published in 1856, contem-
plated, among other divisions, "the organization of the Grand Chapter,
Grand Council, and Grand Encampment of Kentucky, with their hi-
tories, their lists of officers, statistics of progress, etc., up to 1858, together
with their Constitutions, impressions of their seals, and copies of the
Charters granted to their subordinates." This I am compelled to omit;
the necessary information for that division not having been furnished
me by those to whom I repeatedly applied for it. To the same cause-
the general indifference with which Secretaries of Lodges regard all ap-
peals for information from their archives-the reader must refer the omis-
sion of various other things contemplated in the original prospectus. I
have used all the material I could procure by whatever facilities were &a

my command, and having already delayed the publication eighteen
months beyond the period originally contemplated, I feel unwilling to
protract it further in the desperate hope of awakening interest in the
hearts of sluggish officials. I acknowledge special obligations to the fol-
lowing gentlemen:
  Lodge No. 1, Samuel D. McCullough; 4, Philip Swigert, A. G. Hodges,
H. Wingate; 17, T. A. Frazer, and L. R. Marshal; 24, W. F. Dodd;

harreld; 825, L. E. Shepard; 326, John C. Scifres; 337, R. B. Yancey.
  Outside of Kentucky, I have had the counsel and aid of so many of
the Fraternity, that it would make a Masonic catalogue of itself to enu-
merate them. In Ireland, the Hon. M. Furnell; in England, John
Masson, Esq., have rendered me immense service. In New Brunswick,
Bro. Robert Stubs deserves an honored place for his courteous aid. The
Grand Secretaries of the thirty-seven Grand Lodges, including Canada,
with the exception of two or three, have readily opened their archives
at my solicitations, and given me facilities for the work. It is a mode-
rate estimate to say that one thousand Masons in the various Grand
Lodge jurisdictions, have, by correspondence and the donation of docu-
ments, taken a part in the preparation of this book. To all such,
whether in or out of the State, I beg leave to return thanks for the
debt every lover of Masonic truth owes them for their zealous and
timely assistance, and my mention of the following by name, is only
because they took extraordinary pains to supply my historical wants at
every call: William B. Hubbard, Columbus, Ohio; A. W. Wilson, Pine
Bluff, Ark.; Benj. B. French, Washington, D. C.; John Dove, Rich-
mond, Va.; N. N. Barrett, Collinsville, Ct.; E. D. Cooke, Columbia,
S. C.; Sidney Hayden, Athens, Pa.; Geo. W. Chase, Haverhill, Mass.;
Joseph Covell, Jay Bridge, Me.; P. C. Tucker, Vergennes, Vt.; Georgo
Fisher, Washington, D. C.; J. S. Reeves, Meigsville, Ohio; H. T. Wilson,
Sherburne, Ky.; W. B. Langridge, Muscatine, Iowa; S. D. Bayless, Ft.
Wayne, Ind.; Wm. Hacker, Shelbyville, Ind.; Salem Town, Aurora,
N. Y.; J. B. Borden, Providence, R. I.; Thos. Hayward, Tallahasse,
Fla.; J. R. Chapin, Rahway, N. Y.; John W. Simons, New York;
Benj. Parke, Harrisburgh, Pa.; A. Creigh, M.D., Washington, Pa.;
Charles Gilman, Baltimore, Md.; S. Lawrence, Marietta, Geo; E. R.
Ives, Alligator, Fla.; J. Q. A. Fellows, New Orleans, La.; E. W. Jones,
Chicago, Ill.; E. T. Carson, Cincinnati, Ohio; Amos Adams, Baton
Rouge, 1a.

 

                             rREFACE.

  There is another explanation which will be demanded by those who
read the first prospectus, viz.: the want of portraits. I can only say
that of all the considerable number of persons to whom I addressed
letters asking for daguerreotypes, etc., only two responded. It appeared
to me better to omit that department entirely, than to limit my illustra-
tions to so small a number.
  But while entering this gentle protest against such want of zeal in so
good a cause, I feel that we have much cause of gratulation that so
much information, otherwise fast perishing and soon lost, is herein col-
lected. Those who follow in the path now cleared out, will have a task
as easy as delightful. Nothing is more pleasing to the mind of the zeal-
ous Mason than the contemplation of the works of his forerunners in
the Craft; and the archives of lodges are full of such knowledge yet
inedited and unpublished. The memories of the remaining veterans are
full-charged with such treasures. The current journals of the past are
rich with this information, and I can but hope the reception of the
present volume will be so cordial and flattering as to encourage the
preparation of similar works in every Masonic jurisdiction.
