About the author
The Order of the Eastern Star is a Masonic appendant body founded in the United States in the 19th century. Reliable sources describe it as a fraternal organization open to both women and men, with early ritual development linked to Rob Morris, a lawyer, educator, poet, and prominent Freemason.
The General Grand Chapter, Order of the Eastern Star was organized in 1876 by delegates from independent Grand Chapters. It serves as a broader governing body for the order, helping unify ritual practice and support chapters across jurisdictions.
Rather than being centered on a single modern author, this title points to an organization with a long institutional history. Its story is tied to fraternal culture, biblical symbolism, charitable work, and the spread of Eastern Star chapters across the United States and beyond.
