This is the first “murder mystery” episode on our podcast and there is no bigger story in Freemasonry than “the Morgan Affair.” This year marks the 200th anniversary of the 1826 disappearance of William Morgan, an event that ignited a firestorm of anti-Masonic sentiment and nearly destroyed the fraternity in America. To separate fact from fiction, we are honored to host Dr. Ann Bunch, author of the definitive work, "The William Morgan Affair: Masonic Mystery in Upstate New York." She’ll lead us through her investigation, sorting the historical truth of the event, its devastating aftermath, and how Modern Freemasonrs can acknowledge this pivotal moment in the history of our Ancient and Gentle Craft.
