Summary "The Early Introduction of Bogus Freemasonry in the United States of America and Texas Among Colored Masons" by C. L. Mitchell is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book critically examines the origins of Freemasonry among Black men, particularly focusing on the disputes surrounding the legitimacy of the Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Massachusetts and its influence in Texas. It seeks to uncover what Mitchell argues is the spurious foundation of certain Masonic bodies that have claimed legitimacy over the years. At the start of the book, the author provides a preface articulating his motivations and collaborators in compiling the work. He then delves into a detailed examination of the formation of the Prince Hall Grand Lodge, asserting that it was constructed without the required number of warranted lodges to validate its legitimacy. Through a series of questions and answers, Mitchell critiques several historically significant events and figures in Masonic history, eviscerating claims that he believes are unfounded and misleading. His narrative continues to trace the ripple effects of these claims on the Masonic landscape in Texas, setting a scholarly tone that challenges established narratives within the Masonic community.
