'George Washington was himself a high-ranking Mason. He had taken his first degree initiation at a lodge in Fredericksburg, Virginia in 1734. Among the fifty-six American rebels who signed the Declaration of Independence only six were not members of the Masonic Order. The majority of the military commanders of the American revolutionary army which fought the British during the War for Independence were practicising Freemasons.' p. 82, The Occult Conspiracy, by Michael Howard, MJF Books, Fine Communications, Two Lincoln Square, 60 West 66th Street, New York, NY 10023
