From the State ArchivistA Slave’s Day in Court

n April 6, 1846, an undistinguished St. Louis slave represented byan undistinguished lawyer petitioned the local circuit court torelease him from bondage. What made this case so unusual wasthat, slowly, white men, powerful white men, began arguing about

his freedom. When the United States Supreme Court finally decided theDred Scott case 11 years later, it shook the country to its foundation, andedged it closer to civil war.

As significant as the Dred Scott case is, the long inaccessibility of St. Louiscircuit court records has obscured another important story. Dred Scott wasnot alone.

Between 1814 and 1860 hundreds of African-American slaves bravely peti-tioned the St. Louis courts for their freedom. These women and men, illit-erate, uneducated, and poor, were captive in a society run by rules that theyrarely, or imperfectly understood. The plaintiffs were disproportionatelyfemale. “Winny,” “Rachel,” “Pelagie,” “Aspasie,” “Arch,” “Jeffrie,” and“Henry,” and other plaintiffs, usually lacked a last name, or even the abilityto make more than an “X” on a sheet of paper for their signature. Arrayedagainst them were their masters, often people of wealth and sophistication.Indeed, St. Louis’s founding fathers are well represented in these suits. Withenormous courage, and everything at risk, slaves put their ability to staywith their husbands, wives, or children, as well as their physical safety on theline when they went into a white man’s court and demanded their freedom.Many cases reveal a life in slavery far more dramatic than that lived by DredScott.

Remarkably, many of them won their suits. Brave as they were in the face ofgreat adversity, these slaves would have failed had they not had help alongthe way. American slavery was tyranny, but it was a tyranny with limits.Missouri law offered several reasons by which a slave might be freed—proofof Indian lineage, having resided in a “free” state or territory, or havingbeen born free or set free by a former master. Through much of the ante-bellum period slaves seeking legal redress could be provided an attorneypaid at state expense. The St. Louis free black community offered guidanceand moral support. Sympathetic white lawyers sometimes came to their aid,but lawyers who were slaveholders themselves took cases because no mattertheir personal view of slavery, they believed in the sanctity of the law.

During 2007 the Missouri State Archives will be partners with a number ofinstitutions commemorating the sesquicentennial of the Dred Scott decisionand the thousands of other slaves who sought their freedom.

1857–2007: Sesquicentennialof the Dred Scott Decision

he Missouri State Archives participatedwith Washington University in St. Louisand the National Park Service, through

the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial andthe Old Courthouse, to support several commem-

orative activities thatmarked the 150thanniversary of theDred Scott Case.

The U.S. SupremeCourt decision,issued in March1857, stated that noAfricans residing inAmerica - whetherslave or free - heldstatus as U.S. citizensand were thereforeunable to bring suitin a court of law.The ruling also dis-solved the validity of“free territory” asput forth by theMissouriCompromise because

the Court reasoned that Congress had no author-ity to abolish slavery in federal areas. The result-ing turmoil appalled abolitionists, confused thepublic, and buoyed slave owners.

The sesquicentennial of this watershed case willbe acknowledged throughout 2007, with focusduring the anniversary month of March, throughexhibits, an academic symposium, and variouscommunity events. Secretary of State RobinCarnahan and State Archivist Kenneth H. Winnwere on hand to open various events with discus-sion of the work of the Archives as the leadingnational repository of slave freedom suits. TheArchives’ involvement with the records of the St.Louis Circuit Court and additional circuits acrossthe state has enriched our understanding of the

Both he and Bob Priddy willcontinue as members of the Board.

State Archives Receives FilmCollection from the MissouriDivision of Tourism

n the summer of 2006, two MissouriState Archives staff members, along withthe Missouri Division of Tourism’sDomestic Marketing Coordinator, Jeff

Wohlt, battled the dust and grime of a govern-ment warehouse to retrieve over 100 reels of orig-inal, color motion picture film. The 133 reels offilm and video tape represent close to a decade ofmarketing commissioned by Missouri’s lead pro-motional agency. Both film media and print pho-tography are important to the Division ofTourism’s ability to bring millions of recreationaldollars into Missouri each year.

The film dates from 1984 to 1993 and focuseson the major tourist spots around the state: St.Louis, Kansas City, the Lake of the Ozarks andBranson. Thousands of feet of film are dedicatedto beautiful scenery—Missouri’s rivers, vineyardsand Ozark Mountains.

The Archives initial work with the collection willinclude removing the negative film from rustymetal canisters and re-housing in proper contain-ers. Duringthe comingyear MissouriState Archivesstaff willreformat thefilm so it canbe safely han-dled andcopied forpublic use.For moreinformationabout thisinterestingresource, contact Image Archivist Laura Jolley at(573) 526-3965 or laura.jolley@sos.mo.gov.

“Wish You Were Here”:Postcards from Missouri The Mary Alice Hansen Collection— Online

he postcard originated in 1869 inEurope as a cheap means of brief com-munication between family and friends,and the trend quickly became popular in

America. Initially, cards were very plain due tothe control over format held by the U.S. PostalService. Once the government relaxed somerequirements in 1898, publishers proliferated andsmall illustrations were widely used on the frontof cards.

In 1907, the Postal Service permitted use of thedivided back card, allowing the message and mail-ing address to appear on one side, thereby makingit possible for the entire card front to be used forimagery. Since that time, millions of color post-cards have been acquired and traded by collectors.These view cards document people, places andevents all over America. Improvements in theprinting process continued, which proved no end

to card sub-ject matter orillustration.Today, post-card collect-ing has itsown name,“deltiology,”and is thenation’s thirdmost popularhobby —

following coin and stamp collecting.

Mary Alice Hansen was a Minnesota deltiologistwho traveled Missouri extensively. Her nephew,David Quick, donated 209 color and black andwhite postcards to the Missouri State Archivesthat had been collected by his aunt. Theseimages document Missouri buildings, industryand culture from the early 20th century, with afocus on Springfield, St. Louis and St. Charles.

There are asignificantnumber ofimages fromMissouri’ssmaller com-munities aswell, such asthe 1912high schoolgraduatingclass in Wellsville, or a bustling downtown sceneof Monett. Of particular interest are the photo-graphic postcards of the Branson area andMissouri Ozarks.

In response to research requests and as a resultof detailed review of the records by Archives his-torians, archivists and volunteers — a growingnumber of interesting social and cultural historyresearch issues have emerged. Archives staff mem-bers and patron historians hope to contribute tothe historical narrative soon with articles and larg-er works that connect fascinating threads of ill-ness, natural and man-made disasters, and acciden-tal death as evidenced in these records.

If the Death Records Project is news to you, oryou would like more information about therecords, below is a set of Frequently AskedQuestions to assist your inquiry. General discus-sion of the project is available at: www.sos.mo.gov/archives/resources/deathcertificates.

Archives Afield!Ray County: Documentingthe Famous and Infamous

ew people would believe that a singlerecord collection could hold detailedinformation about a Missouri Governor, a

witness to the Book of Mormon, and the killers ofJesse James, but the Ray County Circuit Courtrecords do. These case files, currently undergoingpreservation and review by local records fieldarchivists, reveal interesting and little known factson several historical figures—including powerfulpoliticians, religious leaders and more infamouscharacters.

Many politicians from Missouri’s early state gov-ernment emerge repeatedly in the court records.One is Austin A. King, who served not only as our10th governor, but also as judge of the 5thJudicial Circuit Court. In 1837 Judge Kingimposed the death sentence on slaves Ish andHenry after their conviction for the murder of

Dorcas Clevenger. Their loss at court, and result-ing death penalty, is made notable by the fact thattheir legal counsel was the famed attorneyAlexander W. Doniphan, who served as legal advi-sory to the Mormons, won fame as a MexicanWar general, and became the Whig nominee forU.S. senator in the election of 1854.

Another case which came before Judge Kinginvolved the indictment of David Rice Atchison(and 31 other men) for illegal betting. Atchison,a Missouri senator and statesman of significantreputation, holds title as the man who purported-ly served as President of the United States for asingle day between the terms of James Polk andZachary Taylor. Atchison entered a guilty plea toJudge King in July of 1838 and willingly paid thecustomary $5 fine.

Civil case files refer to the “Mormon commo-tion” of 1837-1838 reflecting the tumultuous

times and associ-ated violencewhich arosebetweenMormons andnon-Mormons— at times evenprohibiting liti-gants fromattending court.Later, in 1841,criminal recordsnote the convic-

tion of David Whitmer for Sabbath-breaking.Whitmer is one of only three original witnesses tothe Book of Mormon, and although he later leftthe church, he never withdrew his testimony tothe testament’s truth.

Finally, infamous Missourians Bob and CharleyFord are found as litigants in the case files. TheFord brothers earned their notoriety on April 3,1882, by successfully killing Jesse James. Theyshow up in the circuit court records a month laterwith three criminal indictments. Bob was chargedwith the murder of Wood Hite, and Charley forthe lesser offenses of illegally discharging aweapon within Richmond city limits in April

1882, and robbing C. B. France during the fall of1881. Interestingly, Mrs. Jesse James is listed as awitness in the robbery case.

Since June 2003, Field Archivist Becky Carlsonhas led the efforts of 37 volunteers solicited byCarolyn Conner, Ray County circuit clerk. Thesevolunteers have identified, organized and pre-served court records through a significant amountof time and effort. The majority of the 1,800hours spent on the project have been logged byfive dedicated volunteers: Mary Cole, Joan Judd,Claudetta McCorkendale, Rosemary Hockemeierand Jean Davault.

The Ray County Circuit Court Project is anexcellent example of work accomplished “out inthe field” through cooperative efforts of MissouriState Archives staff, county officials and the localvolunteer community.

Crack of the Pistol: Duelingin 19th Century MissouriThey rowed quietly through the murky waters of theMississippi toward a small sandbar called BloodyIsland. The affair was illegal so the details werekept secret. Only the principals, the seconds, and thesurgeons were permitted on the island. Each manbelieved death with honor was preferable to ignoringan insult or challenge. A few hushed words betweenseconds and the two men faced each other ten pacesapart with pistols in hand. The crack of the pistolsshattered the early morning silence.

When the smoke cleared, one man lay dead on thefield of honor.

ueling was a deep-rooted practice inAmerican culture and throughout the1800s in Missouri. It involved men from

all walks of life, but more often the upper class,and particularly politicians. The above scenariowas played out according to the Code Duello, a setof complex rules which determined why, how andbetween whom duels were to be fought. Duelistsignored or evaded the law with their tool ofpower, the pistol.
