History of the United Brothers of Friendship and Sisters of the Mysterious Ten, Vol. 1 of 2: A Negro Order Organized August 1, 1861 in the City of Louisville, Ky (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from History of the United Brothers of Friendship and Sisters of the Mysterious Ten, Vol. 1 of 2: A Negro Order Organized August 1, 1861 in the City of Louisville, Ky Before giving a sketch of this history, we shall preface it with reasons for performing the task, which will be of interest to all of those who wish to learn of its origin, and of those persons who were the originators. We believe that this can be accomplished more to the satisfaction of the impartial reader when written by one who has taken an active part in nearly all of its deliberations for more than thirty years. For be it known to all readers of history that more reliance is placed upon those who were present and eye-witnesses to a scene than to those who depend on sketches of hearsay and from disinterested parties; often the dates are conflicting and misleading views are given, causing the authenticity of the volume to be in doubt. But the principal and greatest reason for this historical sketch should be to place before the world the history of a Negro organization whose growth has been unprecedented, numbering its membership by thousands, its secret signs, emblems, and outfits of all grades, mostly original.

And here let me say, while we have no discussion in our ranks about our legality as an order, or from whom we obtained our charter, or of our right to assemble in State or National Grand bodies on account of our color, we affirm that none of these questions disturb us, for we have accepted the badge of distinction, and therefore are not elbowing our way into any white organization; we claim to be purely Negroes and of Negro origin.
