Yes, great book. I bought it years ago when it first came out. She is a little off on a few things but 95% of her work is right on. Her Husband was a staunch Mason and most of those, in the know, think she got a little of his Masonic secret ceremonial rites mixed in with our ancient rites. All in all though, the book is really respected in the tribe. Isn't it just great that a Woman was the very first person in our tribe to try and save the “old ways and customs” that may have been lost if not recorded. (1916)
