Albert Pike (1809–1891) was an American attorney, soldier, and prominent Freemason. Born on December 29, 1809, in Boston, Massachusetts, Pike’s early life was marked by his academic pursuits and literary interests. He attended Harvard University but left before completing his studies due to financial constraints.
Pike went on to become a prominent figure in the legal profession, practicing law in Arkansas. He also served as a journalist and contributed to several publications. His involvement in the Mexican-American War showcased his military prowess, where he attained the rank of brigadier general.
Pike is perhaps best known for his association with Freemasonry. He rose to the position of Sovereign Grand Commander of the Supreme Council of the Scottish Rite’s Southern Jurisdiction, a role he held for over three decades. Pike’s contributions to Masonic literature, particularly his influential work “Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry,” have left a lasting impact on Masonic teachings.
While admired by many within the Masonic community, Pike’s legacy is not without controversy. His views on race and his involvement with the Confederate States of America during the Civil War have been subjects of debate and criticism. Albert Pike passed away on April 2, 1891, leaving behind a complex legacy that continues to be examined and discussed.
