REVIEW
For those who enjoy short snippets of information about Masonic topics, this is a great collection. But I must provide a warning -- Reader Beware!
Although the author says that he did contact many brethren to verify details, it appears he did miss correcting some details. Some  examples that I know about:  (i) Manitoba does not have a Masonic license plate (p. 18); (ii) Golden Rule Lodge is in Gravenhurst, Ont. (not Gravenburnt, p. 119); and (iii) although Cariboo Lodge in Barkerville, BC, did burn down (p. 58) it has been rebuilt. That story is almost word-for word copied from several articles published in 2016. However, the building has been rebuilt, close to the original, and does include the Silent Tyler. And, (iv) Nyja Island (p.121) is not an island-- it stands for 'New Iceland" which is Gimli today.
In 1988 Wallace McLeod observed that "when a reader finds so many blunders in the one area where he has specialized knowledge, his confidence in the remainder may be shaken." [Philalethes Journal. 73:3, p.121]
Otherwise -- lots of fun reading here.

​This is an interesting exploration of Freemasonry from a non-member.
