Abstract
Digest of Laws, Knights of the Golden Eagle, Second Edition, 1891 (non-masonic)
The KGE was founded in 1873 in Baltimore, Maryland and had a militaristic/Christian perspective in its rituals and ceremonies. They worked three degrees based on events and legends surrounding the Crusades of the Middle Ages. According to Axelrod's International Encyclopedia of Secret Societies and Fraternal Orders the organization went extinct sometime during the 1960s-70s, however, current research has shown that this group is still active in three states providing scholarships to college students. One unfortunate piece of history that still shadows the KGE is that one of their members was responsible for the assassination of President McKinley. The woman's auxiliary was called the Ladies of the Golden Eagle.
