These are the earliest reports of the Supreme Court of the State of Arkansas, and their first collected printings. Arkansas became a State in 1836. Each volume contains a Table of Cases and an Index. The cases recorded here are a window on the issues that engaged this southwestern State: commercial matters, land boundaries and claims, agriculture contracts, establishing the rules of civil and criminal procedure, duties of State officers, commerce in slaves. Pike was a colorful and interesting man on the frontier. He served, as here, not only as the Reporter of Decisions, but also at various times as a poet, teacher, brigadier general in the Confederate Army, newspaper editor, and high officer in the Freemasons. FIRST EDITIONS. Allen 85, 94. I Harv. Law Cat. 68. Not in BEAL.
