Book Description
Excerpt from History of Portland Commandery, No; 2, of Knights Templar: Including That of King Darius Council From 1805 to 1821, and of Maine Encampment, No; 1, From 1821 Till 1855, When Its Charter Was Given to Templars in the Valley of the Kennebec Although Portland Commandery is No. 2, and Maine Com mandery, at Gardiner, outranks it, yet the fact that our Order existed in Portland at the beginning of the century, and before any Templar Grand Body was organized on this continent, and the circumstance that the charter of Maine Encampment was given to the Gardiner brethren in 1854, and the Encampment removed to that place, so that Templar masonry did not exist there until seven years after Portland Commandery was chartered, is a reason for beginning its history with the beginning of Templarism in this country.
