A few days ago, my proposer sent me this great video (see below) detailing the history of Freemasonry in the old (wild) west!
It is super informative and I suggest everyone should take a look at it. (It’s not really that long, it’s only about 8 minutes)
The Freemasons’ Community: A first-of-its-kind online community for those looking to learn more about the mysteries of Freemasonry in the company of like-minded men. Click here to learn more.
In this video you will learn about:
- The connection of Freemasonry in the founding of the USA (particularly in the western USA).
- The people that came after the first founding fathers, that were both masons and political movers.
- Masons affecting the exploration, founding and settlement of the Western United States.
- How Buffalo Bill, Billie the Kid and Louis & Clark are all connected to our Craft
- How freemasonry was part of everyday life in the west: implementing principles in everyday lives and people.
NB: Aspiring Masons and Master Masons from all over the world look forward to our emails. If you’d like to join them, sign up for Masonic Find’s newsletter. It’s free and our next email goes out in a few hours.
Take a look at this stunning mini-documentary below and do not forget to share this with your friends and Brothers.

That is a great video, and I plan on sharing on our site. I would encourage anyone who is interested in this history to visit our page on Texas Masonic History, which talks about early Texas masons, the founding of the Grand Lodge of Texas, as well as the Republic of Texas, and after in great detail. It can be found here, http://dallasfreemasonry.org/about-freemasonry/texas-freemason-history/ Texas most certainly would not be the same, or quite possibly even founded away from Mexican rule, without Freemasons.
I hear we are devil worshiper i haven’t seen it. Yet I’m 32 degree Scotish rite how to convince them we are not
I’m a total outsider, but I gather that at the 33rd level you acknowledge that God is the divine architect but you don’t buy into a religious belief system (eg Christianity). That would seem like devil worship to some. Do Masons claim any particular faith?
No we do not have an “official” religion. Every freemason is free to practice any religion he desires just as long as he believes in a “supreme being”.
This video forgets Brigham Young, a Freemason, who led pioneers to settle UT, parts of AZ, CA, NV, and Mexico.
Hmm interesting Keith. I wonder why! Thanks for sharing.
Brigham Young was expelled from Freemasonry. He then formed his own clandestine lodge before going to Utah.
I doubt that Brigham Young was purposely left out, there are so many that were there at the time, that all could not have been mentioned.
One of the greaters days of my life was when I received more light in masonry.
Billy the Kid lived in a Ranch in New Mexico with some relatives of me! Fantastic Story!
Thanks to you Guy’s somuch, for this great video.. As mentioned before this is a mystical study by Masonic find I am so grateful..

How would I be able to get into contact with the researcher who was speaking in this video? I want to do an education in my Lodge, and wanted to ask him a bit on the subject
