Title: William Morgan
Description: A drawing of writer William Morgan (1774-1826) being assaulted and taken by members of the Free Masons for supposedly crafting a book that would reveal their secrets in 1826. Although there remains no evidence that the Free Masons were tied to his disappearance, it remained the popular explanation at the time and helped fuel the creation of the Anti-Mason political party.
