Book Description

Excerpt from The Broken Seal: Or Personal Reminiscenses of the Morgan Abduction and Murder Sensible that I am drawing near the close of life, I feel it my duty to leave on record certain facts connected with my personal history, which may be of use to those who shall come after me. My life has been a long and eventful one; but I have no intention of writing an autobiography, except in relation to one feature of my history. Many years ago, I was brought, in the providence of God, into strange and intimate association with a series of events which deeply affected my own mind, and, for a long time, powerfully agitated society. I refer to the abduction and murder of Captain William Morgan, for unfolding what he deemed to be the pernicious secrets of the masonic order.
