  • History of the Arkansas Supreme Court Library
    The Supreme Court Library -- A Source of Pride By JACQUELINE S. WRIGHT Librarian Reprinted from 47 Arkansas Historical Quarterly 136 (Summer 1988) with permission of the Arkansas Historical Association. THE ARKANSAS SUPREME COURT LIBRARY, founded by act of the general assembly in 1851, is the oldest library in the state of Arkansas that is still operating. It serves judges, lawyers and laypersons who research in the very same books that were acquired over one hundred years ago. That is not to say that the library has not developed and grown - it has. New books are added every day, as well as new formats for information, such as microforms and computers. But the nucleus of the collection that was acquired in the last century is still here. State reports, session laws, seventeenth and eighteenth century treatises authored by Sir Edward Coke and Sir William Blackstone and their contemporaries are useful today because they contain solutions to problems that are based on logic and equity. It is difficult to imagine any controversy that might surround such a useful institution. However, some peculiar language in the legislation indicates that there was disagreement about something to do with the library. But the newspapers published in the 1850s hardly mention either its need or its founding. History books mention its founding but cast no light on the circumstances surrounding this event. The search for information about these circumstances was interesting. It required several forays into the files of the Arkansas History Commission, the Special Arkansas Collection at the Library of the University of Arkansas at Little Rock and the Old State House Library and Archives.

Charles Bolton August 2006 Midwest Regional Office Organization of National Park Service American Historians U.S. Department of the Interior P.O. Box 5457 Omaha, Nebraska Bloomington, Indiana On the Cover: "St. Louis," steel engraving by Frederick Hawkins Piercy. From the Overland Trails Collection, Special Collections, Harold B. Lee Library, Brigham Young University. Foreword Public Law 105-203, the National Underground Railroad Network to Freedom Act of 1988, directs the National Park Service (NPS) to commemorate, honor, and interpret the history of the Underground Railroad. The Underground Railroad—the resistance to enslavement through escape and flight, through the end of the Civil War—refers to the efforts of enslaved African Americans to gain their freedom by escaping bondage. Wherever slavery existed, there were efforts to escape, at first, to maroon communities in rugged terrain away from settled areas, and later across state and international borders. While most began and completed their journeys unassisted, each subsequent decade in which slavery was legal in the United States saw an increase in active efforts to assist escape. The decision to assist a freedom seeker may have been spontaneous. However, in some places, particularly after the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850, the Underground Railroad was deliberate and organized. Freedom seekers went in many directions – Canada, Mexico, Indian Territory, the West, Caribbean islands and Europe.

GENEALOGY OF THE FISHBACK FAMILY IN AMERICA THE DESCENDANTS OF JOHN FISHBACK, THE EMIGRANT, WITH AN HISTORICAL SKETCH OF HIS FAMILY AND OF THE COLONY AT GERMANNA AND GERMANTOWN, VIRGINIA 1714-1914 COMPILED AND EDITED BY WILLIS MILLER KEMPER CINCINNATI ILLUSTRATED PUBLISHED BY THOMAS MADISON TAYLOR Twelve West Forty-Foukth Street NEW YORK 1914 PRESS OF THE NEW ERA PRINTING COMPANY LANCASTER, PA. PREFACE A greater number of years than the compiler cares to acknowledge has been spent in collecting the data contained in the pages of this book. When first interested in the Colony at Germanna there was no assurance that there were any records in existence concerning its origin in Europe, the cause and manner of emigration; its establishment upon the frontier of Virginia, or its early history there; and the prospect of preparing a true chronicle did not seem promising. However, actuated and encouraged by the discovery of a few reliable records, it was felt that by diligent effort it would be possible to assemble sufficient material for an authentic history. The undertaking has been tedious and the search a long one, but it is hoped that the facts here presented will prove of interest and value to every descendant of a member of the Germanna Colony, as well as to students of Colonial Virginia. Exact references to only the more important sources of information consulted have been given, but great care has been exercised to avoid inaccuracies of statement.

Since Thursday, the Walter Camp All-Americans, Alumni and major award winners have had a significant and positive impact on this city, its youth and the greater community. We remain committed to perpetuating the ideals and work of Walter Camp both on and off the gridiron. Our community outreach has included a Stay In School Rally for three thousand 7th and 8th graders at the Floyd Little Athletic Center, visits to seven hospitals and rehabilitation centers, and a fan festival for families and youth to meet and greet our guests. The Walter Camp membership congratulates the 2011 All-Americans and major award winners for their distinguished athletic achievements and for their ongoing commitment to service and to community.
