FRED'c L. BILLON, at the age of 45. TAREN A'l' PHILADELPHIA, 1846. ANNALS OF ST. LOUIS IN ITS TERRITORIAL DAYS FROM 1804 TO 1821 BEING A CONTINUATION OF THE AUTHOR'S PREVIOUS WORK THE ANNALS OF THE FRENCH AND SPANISH PERIOD Bv FREDERIC L. BILLON A RESIDENT OF ST. LOUIS, EXCEEDING SEVENTY YEARS ST. LOUIS PRINTED FOR THE AUTHOR 1888. 'PRESS OF NIXON-JONES PRINTING Co. 212 PINE ST,1 ST, LOU!S MO, INTRODUCTORY . ., By an act of Congress of May 7,. 1800, the -'' Northwest Territory '' ,vas divided into two sep­ .arate governments .. That portion irnmediately west and adjoining ·Pennsylvania, beca1ne the territory of Ohio, and the qalance of the country, extending west to the Missis­ ;sippi river, was f or1ned into the new territory of In­ -diana. On May 13, ~en. Win. Henry Harrison, of Vir­ ginia, was appointed the Governor, and John Gibson, ,of Pennsylvania, Secretary of the new territory - .and shortly after,vards Wm. Clark, Henry Vander-: berg and John Giiffin, Territorial Judges, who held the first term of their court. at Vincennes, on March -3, 1801. The population of the new T_erritory, embracing all the country now Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Wis­ consin was 4,875, about one-half in the settlements in the American botto1n on the Mississippi, and the balance on the Ohio, Illinois, Wabash and other points .. The second census of the United States (that of 1800), had been taken only the year previously, ex­ (iii) • lV INTRODUCTORY. hibiting a population of 5,305,366 souls in the then· sixteen States and three territories of the Union, of· which over 40,000 were included within the bound-· aries of that portion of theNorthwest Territory, which became the State of Ohio, leaving, as aforesaid, 4,875 in the new territory of Indiana. At the date of our purchase of ·Louisiana from France in 1803, Ohio had just adopted a State con-· stitution, and been admitted into the Federal Union as the seventeenth State. The large mass of the American people, at that.. day, occupying the old States on the Atlantic borders knew but little of the country west of the Alleghany Mountains. Up to this period there had been no in--, tercourse between the peoples of the two sections. Separated by a wilderness of· hundreds of miles, un-­ inhabited except by a few ro-v-ing tribes of savages, an occasional straggler from the ·east in search of adventure, had found his way to the shores of the Mississippi, but very few, if any, had ever retraced his steps. But under the change of ownership, a new era was now to commence, destined in but a. few brief years, to transform this wilderness into a. ·vast garden, teeming with a busy hive of humanity,- and abounding in all the essentials that conduce to the happiness and pleasure of mankind.

    1856 St. Louis Stampede By Cooper Wingert http://housedivided.dickinson.edu/sites/stampedes/the-1856-st-louis-stampede/ Slave Stampedes on the Missouri Borderlands National Park Service Network To Freedom // House Divided Project at Dickinson College DATELINE: ST. LOUIS, JULY 14, 1856 On Monday night, July 14, 1856, a group of eight to nine enslaved Missourians set out on their quest for freedom. Leaving the farm of slaveholder Robert Wash, a 65-year-old retired judge who resided on the outskirts of St. Louis, this contingent of freedom seekers charted an unknown course to liberty. Yet while the freedom seekers’ exact path is difficult to ascertain, the motivations underlying their “stampede” for freedom are somewhat easier to deduce. The group of escapees comprised a family unit––”a man and wife, three sons, two daughters, and the wife’s sister,” as reported in the St. Louis Republican. The freedom seekers may have been spurred to action by Wash’s declining health in the summer of 1856––he would die just months later, in November. Likely fearing separation at an estate sale, they chose to strike out to gain their freedom and preserve their family. [1] These freedom seekers, whose names are unknown, may have joined with three other enslaved Missourians, held by prominent St. Louis citizen John O’Fallon. The trio had escaped from O’Fallon “a few nights previous” to July 14, and the city’s leading papers instantly suspected that the two group escapes were connected. “Several other slaves are supposed to be in their company on the underground track,” noted the editors of the Republican.

As such, he is in a peculiar and very definite sense the servant of the law, the twofold aim of which is that guilt shall not escape or innocence suffer. He may prosecute with earnestness and vigor– indeed, he should do so. But, while he may strike hard blows, he is not at liberty to strike foul ones. It is as much his duty to refrain from improper methods calculated to produce a wrongful conviction as it is to use every legitimate means to bring about a just one." QUOTED FROM STATEMENT OF MR.

Chroust: Chroust: Legal Profession in Early Missouri THE LEGAL PROFESSION IN EARLY MISSOURI ANToN-HERMANN CHROUST* Prior to 1804, the year Missouri became attached to the Indiana Ter- ritory, few lawyers, mostly French who had come up the Mississippi, prac- ticed in St. Louis. From the beginning, there always was an abundance of legal work for capable members of the profession: Spanish land grants -fraudulent and authentic-and conflicting claims of every sort, growing out of improper surveys, spurious titles, disputed conveyances, and con- fusing judicial decisions under French, Spanish, and American law, provided lawyers with ample opportunities to display their professional skill and to earn a reasonable livelihood, provided they were "hustlers" and, as often as not, not too particular about the sort of work they were expected to do., The General Court, held on October 29, 1805, after the District of Louisiana had been detached from the Territory of Indiana and had been organized as the Territory of Louisiana, ruled that all attorneys who had been admitted to practice in the Indiana Territory were also to be admitted to the Louisiana Territory upon taking the oath of attorney.2 John Taylor, Benjamin Parke, Isaac Darnielle, William C.
