This edition was limited to 26 signed and lettered copies. This scholarly work is one of three works by Michael Homer dedicated to Mormon and Masonic parallels. "Both Masons and Mormons believed in the same legends, practiced similar rituals, and developed exclusionary policies with comparable rationales. The Masons' rationale premised on legends concerning the curses of Cain and Ham could have influenced Young's thinking since it was consistent with Smith's written scriptures concerning race and his statements about slavery." -p.[1]
