[Matt Clayton · Rating 5 out of 5]

This work ( like a book) is really a compilation of research that Albert Pike was working on while living in Washington D.C. in the 1870s. It was his wish that these research papers not be published, however thank goodness it has been. More of a complete review to come. This is not a read for the light hearted searcher. Very extensive and at some parts laborious...

ENJOY!
