INTRODUCTION Arkansas has a tradition, beginning in 1865, of African- American attorneys who were active in civil rights. During the eighty years following the Emancipation Proclamation, at least sixty-nine African-American men were admitted to practice law in the state.2 They were all men of their times, frequently hold- * Associate Professor, University of Arkansas School of Law; J.S.D. 1999, LL.M. 1992, Columbia University, J.D. 1975, B.A. 1972, University of California-Berkeley.

  • James Gordon Frierson and Emma Gwynne Davis
    James Gordon Frierson and Emma Gwynne Davis At age thirty-one, on November 12, 1868, James Gordon Frierson (1837–1884), a Civil War veteran, married twenty-one-year-old Emma Gwynne Davis (1847–1899) in Cleburne, Arkansas. James Gordon Frierson was born in Maury County, Tennessee, the fourth of eleven children (four boys and seven girls). With his family and a large contingent of Scotch-Irish Presbyterians, he moved in 1841 to the town of College Hill, Mississippi, in Lafayette County, near Oxford. As a youngster, James Gordon Frierson received a religious and classical early education1 at a church-sponsored school called North Mississippi College and at a prep school called the College Hill Male Academy. At age seventeen, he entered the University of Mississippi2 at Oxford as a sophomore. He transferred for his senior year to La Grange College3 in Tennessee, where he graduated first in his class in 1858, at age twenty. James Gordon Frierson was a twenty-three-year-old second-year student at the University of Mississippi Law School 4 when he joined the Confederate Army in April 1861. During the war, he fought with two different regiments in the Western Theater, mostly in Kentucky and Tennessee. His first tour of Confederate service5 with the 15th Mississippi Infantry Regiment ended shortly after the Battle of Fishing Creek (also known as the Battle of Mill Springs) in Kentucky on January 19, 1862. After that battle, he wrote a letter to his mother. In February 1862, he was discharged from the army for “General debility caused by repeated attacks of Typhoid Fever.” James Gordon Frierson had a first cousin, Charles Currin Frierson (1838–1897), who was his close friend, classmate, and Confederate brother-in-arms in the early years of the Civil War.6 James Gordon Frierson re-enlisted in April 1862 with the 30th Mississippi Infantry Regiment and began his second period of Confederate service7 during the Siege of Corinth between April 29–May 30, 1862.

Page. The issue in the case seemed relatively simple. The state auditor had issued a warrant for $1,000, and the state treasurer was reluctant to pay the warrant until the court settled certain legal questions. Shortly after convening, the court handed down a one page, three paragraph opinion declaring that it was appropriate for the treasurer to pay the warrant.

Upon Louisiana Statehood in 1812, Arkansas becomes a part of the Missouri Territory. Up to 1818, the entire area of present-day Arkansas is governed by only two counties. To the south, Arkansas 1 County is governed from Arkansas Post, and to the north, Lawrence County is governed from Lawrence, soon after named Davidsonville. On October 24, 1818 during the last session of the territorial legislature of Missouri, Governor William Clark signed into law the creation of three counties—Pulaski, Clark and Hempstead, taken from the territory of Arkansas county. These three counties along with the original Arkansas and Lawrence counties, comprised the sum total of counties at the time of the formation of the Arkansas Territory on July 4th, 1819 when Missouri became a State. Post Roads and Distances c1824 In Pulaski County there was no town which could be named as the county seat, so the courts were directed to be held at the house of Samuel McHenry on the south side of the Arkansas River near the mouth of White Oak Bayou.
