Hi Michael. Thank you for replying with this information about the Knights of the Golden Circle. I think you will find the Brewer and Getler book, "Rebel Gold" to be the most authoritative book out there on the KGC. One of the most helpful books I read while studying Bloody Bill Anderson was a local history book entitled "Freemasonry in Brownwood" that our Brownwood (TX) Public Library had.
