‘The most influential American Freemasons?’

    

“The official YouTube Channel of The Ancient & Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, for the Southern Jurisdiction of the United States of America, Mother Supreme Council of the World” is worth your time, if you’re not already acquainted. Host Maynard Edwards is among the most competent podcast hosts. Lord knows he gets enough practice.

The video published yesterday, already at nearly 4,000 views, spans twenty-one minutes to name the ten most influential Freemasons in American history.

It is not an official list from the Supreme Council. It is researched, but highly subjective. (That Pike ranks ahead of Mackey is ridiculous but, again, it’s highly subjective. And how was Jeremy Ladd Cross forgotten? Again, highly subjective.) It’s only natural that not one, but two Fellows of The ALR made the cut.

Your comments (there, not here) are solicited, but Bro. Edwards says “It’s supposed to be fun. Keep it brotherly.” And several comments so far are pretty funny, as some viewers don’t get the “American” or “history” stipulations.
