About This Item
1886 MASONIC Knights of Pythias Manual Fraternal Order Supreme Lodge Freemason
"The Knights of Pythias Complete Manual and Text-Book" by John Van Valkenburg is a comprehensive guide on the Knights of Pythias, a fraternal organization established in 1864 in Washington, D.C. This book dives deep into the order's history, principles, rituals, and governing structure. It includes detailed lessons for each rank, responsibilities of every office, and notable moments and figures within the organization. Established as a testament to loyalty, honor, and friendship, inspired by the legend of Damon and Pythias, the order promotes these ideals within its members. The book also houses poetry, directions for ceremonies, biographies of distinguished members, statistical data, and critical decisions and legislation from the order. Valkenburg's work, richly illustrated with 36 full-page engraved plates, serves as both an instructional guide and a celebration of the fraternal order's contributions and achievements up to the point of publication.
