LoL The S.O.B's
Skull & Bones Society
I think it is more than ironic that a skull and bones was another mark of the K.G.C.
WHAT KGC symbol is THAT...? !!!
I believe that is the letter "F" with a back side of a crescent moon. It could be a symbol for "Odd Fellows". The masons usually belonged to both.
Rember that Jefferson Davis's personal secretary was Burton Norvell Harrison,a Yale grad and member of the Skull & Bones,who was with Davis in Dannville.I think it is more than ironic that a skull and bones was another mark of the K.G.C.

CSA Col John Taylor Wood,Aide de Camp to Davis,and also at Dannville,was the grandson of US President Zachary Taylor,and the nephew of Davis.Wood was onboard the CSS Virginia(Merrimack)when it batteled the USS Monitor,and was later Capt of the CSA raider,CSS Tallahassee.Wood escaped with CSA Sec of War John C Breckinridge through Florida to Cuba.After the War,he settled in Nova Scotia and started a shipping company.The Skull & Bones had an island retreat on the St Lawrence River.
Then there was Robert Tyler,son US President John Tyler,who was CSA Register of the Treasury,who signed the bonds issued by the Confederacy.A bond sample :

Although it first appears to be an hour glass,this is actually a K.G.C. rising sun symbol. It is on a heavily decorated 33 degree Freemasons Monument. He was a money man and investor for the K.G.C. before,during and after the Civil War. It was he that financed the retrieval of C.S.A. gold from Atlanta after 1865.

Knight of the Golden Circle
Cryptic Mason
Knights of Templar
Southern Cross
What is this Cross It represents a man that was all of the above. This is the only symbol that represents him. What do you think it is saying about him?
Thanks for your input, L.C. Baker
Several members of Skull & Bones were "copperheads",and bloodlines still continue until this day.I do not think that the Knights of the Golden Circle have anything to do with the skull and bones do to the fact that the Skull and Bones was founded in 1832 after a dispute between Yale debating societies Linonia, Brothers in Unity, and the Calliopean Society over that season's Phi Beta Kappa awards. This date would coincide with the formal beginnings of the K.G.C.'s organization.Only my opinion...... However, Burton Norvell Harrison could have brought the Bones upper crust members that were Southern sympathizers into the Knights organization and adopted some of the ritual. There was a lot going on with the early beginnings of secret societies in colleges all over the U.S. in the 1850's. By that time the Bones had been around 18 years. Kind of a chicken or the egg thing.

THAT cross is known as a Grand Patee Cross; "google" Patte Cross; From FKT; we have Knights of the Grand Cross (KGC) in UK, I think; check it out. THAT cross was utilized by the ORIGINAL Knights Templar as CIPHER! "Google" Knights Templar Ciphers; KGC PROBABLY used 'em... dunno.
