Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book uses an extensive study of several Massachusetts courts' records to provide a rich and detailed account of the development of the Massachusetts Catholic Order of Foresters (MCOF) from its inception as a small fraternal organization in 1883 to its rise as the largest fraternal benefit society in the United States by 1921. The author argues that the MCOF's success was due to its focus on providing financial security and social support to its members. The author places the MCOF within the broader context of the Catholic fraternal insurance movement in the United States and traces the evolution of the organization's membership, leadership, and rituals over time. The book also examines the MCOF's involvement in social and political issues, including its support for Irish home rule and its opposition to prohibition. The result is a fascinating and informative account of the rise of one of the largest and most influential fraternal organizations in American history.
