About the author
William F Mann is credited with three books from Destiny Books that build on claims of a Knights Templar presence in North America: The Knights Templar in the New World, which argues that the Scottish prince Henry Sinclair reached Nova Scotia a century before Columbus and established a Templar settlement there, The Templar Meridians, which proposes a Templar cartographic tradition used to cross the Atlantic, and The Last Refuge of the Knights Templar, built around correspondence between two nineteenth-century Masonic leaders, Albert Pike and Colonel J. W. B. MacLeod Moore. The books combine sacred geometry, disputed historical evidence, and Masonic and Templar lore into a connected alternative history of Templar survival, aimed at readers already interested in Templar and Masonic conspiracy narratives. The catalogue gives no further biographical detail on Mann.
