THIS MONTH IN TEXAS HISTORY

These are twelve installments in the "Texas History Moments" series that we are writing at the request of Grand Master Tommy Griffin. These are articles on Texas History and how it was influenced by Freemasonry. Grand Master Griffin asks that you download, print and deliver the document to your local news media for consideration. The articles may also be used as a program in your Stated Meetings, Lodge Newsletters or other Masonic publications.
