Carl Harry Claudy (1879–1957) was an American magazine writer, a journalist for the New York Herald and author of a number of books relating to photography and to aviation, including First Book of Photography: A Primer of Theory and Prize Winners' Book of Model Airplanes. During the early 1900s, Claudy photographed many important aeronautical events such as Alexander Graham Bell's tetrahedral kite experiments and the Wright Flyer Army Trials at Fort Meyer, Virginia.[1] Claudy wrote many science fiction stories for The American Boy magazine during the early 1930s. Four novelization books were printed from some of those stories. From 1939-1941, he wrote for DC Comics. He was also a Masonic leader, speaker, playwright, and essayist. He wrote several handbooks for Masons.
Brother Claudy continues his series into introducing the blue lodge degrees by providing a brief overview of important aspects regarding the Fellowcraft degree in Freemasonry, which includes further history of the Grand Lodge, Masonic concepts, symbols and everything in between. The book is not extensive in the information shared, but it does go into detail enough to both explain and generate curiosity in the mind of the reader to conduct further research into the Craft and its philosophical influences.
