KGC Windows Wallpaper for Desktop

[KGC4Dixie]

Just finished with the first KGC Windows wallpaper. Feel free to use and check for updates to current images. This one is about Gen. George W. Bickley's business card flag (the Confederate Stars and Bars) and would qualify as KGC by the same standard of his Liberty Head penny, two general's stars and a small bag of red dust by my understanding. Comments always welcomed. Gary

Here is seen an updated version of General George W. Bickley's flag surmounting an authentically copied KGC enrollment form of the First Degree. Gary

Bright...cheerful and a kaleidoscope of beautiful colors...but, far from being a real Knights of the Golden Circle accoutrement. Then again...a fantasy emblem for a fantasy treasure. A match made on an internet message board

But, yeah, they were a real force to be rekoned with and they probably buried their monies just like anyone else. The only question is how much?:

Knights of the Golden Circle.
Headquarters, Army of K. G. C.,}
Louisville, Ky., May 1, 1861.}

1. Commandants of K. G. C. castles throughout the various States of the South, excepting Texas, are hereby ordered to forward, without delay, to general headquarters, at Louisville, Ky., complete muster rolls of military companies. If the military organization of a castle is not completed, the commandant will take immediate steps to have it done. Each company, when organized, shall consist of one captain, one first lieutenant, two second lieutenants, four sergeants, four corporals, two musicians and ninety privates.

2. Castles belonging to the Texas division will report to Gen. Geo. W. Chilton, marshal of di[illegible]on, at Tyler, Smith county, Texas, or to Col. Charles A. Russell, acting adjutant general, at Helena, Karnes county, Texas. The president begs the order to respond fully and promptly to the call of Generals Chilton, Ford, Wilcox and Green, and stand on the defensive until our national troubles are ended.

3. All general, field and staff officers of the American legion will report immediately by letter or otherwise, to the president at Louisville, Ky.

4. The president begs to state for the information of the order that since the first of February last he has been laboring in Kentucky—principally in the city of Louisville—and has added to the order 1,483 members, 534 of whom have been sent to the army of the Confederate States. Two regiments are now being formed in the State to be held subject to the orders of the Governor. The order has now 17,643 men in the field, and the president has no hesitation in saying that the number can be duplicated if necessity requires.

George Bickley, K. G. C.,
President of American Legion.

KGC - Those are great!

Maybe one with Thor's Hammer, a pack of red powder (Philosopher's Stone), a few old scrolls from Alexandria, the Holy Grail and The Ark of The Covenant would be more "realistic" for SWR!? In fact, it might be more realistic than any of us believe!

Thanks for the compliment. The following is a modern copy of Gen. Robert E. Lee's headquarters or camp flag. His wife sewed and it was called the Ark of the Covenant. Just seemed to go with your comments. Gary

 

[swiftsearcher]

Gary, thanks for posting a pic of the flag - you are definitely on top of things! You have done some nice work and your enthusiasm definitely shines through in your work!

So, the flag was actually called the "Ark of the Covenant"? There is definitely more to all of this than meets the "all-seeing eye"!

Again, everyone involved in any KGC cache/hunt/research/etc. - STUDY YOUR BIBLE!

Hi swiftsearcher and KGC4Dixie. To the best of my knowledge the Ark of the Covenant has never been found, has it? It seems that Mrs. Lee had a pretty good idea of what it looked like, doesn't it?

Jay,

I really think she did.

 

[Hoss KGC]

There is no conspiracy theory here. What are you talking about? The flag was commonly called "Ark AND THE Covenant" back in the day. You just want to argue!

Boattow,

Someone else that I heard from was trying to enlighten me as to proportions of the Stars and Bars "AND THE COVENANT" but that was awhile back. E-mail when you get a minute: [email protected]

[Old Dog]

Noted.

you have proved our point.

what is next on your agenda smr?

 

[KGC4Dixie]

So....are you guys saying ARK or ARCH Was the flag commonly called the ARK of the Covenant or the ARCH of the Covenant? The configuration is that of an arch...not an ark

Exodus 25 offers a fairly easy to interpret pattern to follow--handles and all. This may be useful in understanding how any could arrive to the star arrangement of Mrs. Lee's pattern.

I'm inclined to believe, it is The ARCH of the Covenant; reason is that in the 1860's, the FreeMasons (ESPECIALLY the ROYAL ARCH FreeMasons), were into Astrological "signs", stars, etc. I didn't believe it at first, either; UNTIL, I became a ROYAL ARCH FreeMason. It WAS a "shock"... then I remembered that MY "Masonic supply" place in Richmond, Va.
used to have Astrological & Masonic Supplies "stuff", which I didn't understand...

It never has been revealed that Gen. Robert E. Lee was a Freemason and I would like to be the first to know if there is such information out there.

[Rebel - KGC]

VERY true, I have not seen any "records", in which Gen. Lee was; HOWEVER, MANY of HIS officers were, his father & grandfather COULD have been; Mrs. Lee's father & grandfather COULD have been. DUNNO, where she got the "inspiration"/influence from; would like to know myself... will "google" CONFEDERATE FLAGS, and see what I can find. NEVER seen it before.

 

[Rebel - KGC]

I did find Gen. Lee's flag on the Texas Division: SCV - Historic Flags page... NEVER seen it before, and I was SCV, Appomattox, Va. Even did re-enactments for the REBS, back in
'74/'75; Co. I, 10th Virginia "Foot" Cavalry (Stonewall Jackson's Shenandoah Valley, Conrad's Store; now
known as Elkton, Va.). New Market... Gettysburg... the "smell of black powder... the "roar"
of "battle"... Ahhh! Send MORE of what cha got on Lee's HQ flag... THANKS!

 

[KGC4Dixie]

Well...simply research shows it being called both ARK and ARCH. So...how does on figure it was commonly called one or the other?

I have a theory that someone or somebody is misspelling the word "ark" as "arch". Gary

to CLARIFY "ARCH of the Covenant"... REMEMBER, "the days of Noah",
when Father "G" sent a "BOW" (RAINBOW... "arch"), as a "sign" of HOPE, that HE would NEVER destroy Earth again... by water.
