The Bavarian Illuminati in America

The New England Conspiracy Scare, 1798

by Vernon Stauffer

A pioneering historical study of how Robison's and Barruel's claims crossed the Atlantic and set New England clergy and Federalist politicians hunting for Illuminati in the young republic. Still a valuable, sober account of the first American conspiracy panic and its links to anti-Masonry.
