Templars in America by Tim Wallace-Murphy

Templars in America is the extraordinary story of how two leading European families, steeped in the traditions and spirituality of the Knights Templar, combined forces in an attempt to create a new commonwealth in America, far beyond the repressive reach of the Church and the long arm of the Inquisition. The authors present the compelling history of the Templars and Rex Deus families beginning with the lordly line of the High St. Claries of Scotland. Most remarkable is how they trace the legacy of the Templar voyages through the Scottish craft guilds and the formation of the fraternity of Freemasonry to the American founding fathers and the drafting of our Constitution.
