Generally these are short scenarios about Masons and Masonry that can be read in just a few minutes. Occasionally I also publish some of my longer Masonic articles and even some personal accounts as well.

The Lone Congressman
In 1903, Montana, as did all states, had 2 Untied States Senators. The area, however was so sparsely populated it only had one congressman. That unique honor went to Brother Joseph M. Dixon, Missoula Lodge 13. Dixon served as Montana's lone at-large congressman until 1907, when he became one of the state's US Senators. Brother Dixon also went on to become Master of his Lodge, Governor of Montana and was national chairman of the Bull Moose party when Theodore Roosevelt ran for US President on that ticket.
