  This book is a detailed history of the men and events that have formed a brotherhood of Freemasonry in Huntsville, Texas.  Chartered, January 11, 1844, in Huntsville, Montgomery County, Texas, as the nineteenth lodge of the Grand Lodge of  the Republic of Texas, Forrest Lodge No. 19 is the oldest organization in Huntsville. For one hundred and fifty years, the growth of Huntsville is laid out in the minutes of the lodge. Cornerstones leveled by Forrest Lodge No. 19 denote the educational and religious values of the Huntsville community. When modern inventions; lights, telephones, gas and water were brought to Huntsville, Forrest Lodge was among the first subscribers. When streets were paved the lodge paid its share. A chronological history, the book contains 140 pages and a Full Name Index. A brief biographical sketch of some of the charter members, early leaders, and Texas Heroes who were members of Forrest Lodge, among whom was General Sam Houston, is included. There is an appendix with approximately 1,700 names of members, past and present, taken from Grand Lodge of Texas returns. The history also contains a number of pictures and illustrations.
