The Program, "Albert Pike
Journalist, Writer, and law
yer," was given by Mrs. Henry
Twitty who gave a brief sketch
of Pike's life and accomplish
ments. A descendent of a promi
nent English Family, Albert
Pike was born in Boston, Mass.,
I Dec. 29, 1809. As his father
died when Albert was a child,
Pike taught while pursuing his
studies at Harvard. In 1831
he set out for the west and
settled in Arkansas. In Little
Rock, a series of his articles
on political topics attracted so
much attention that he was asked
to be associate editor of the Lit
tle Rock "Advocate".
Pike studied law and was ad
mitted to the Bar in 1834. In
1835 he purchased the "Ad>tQS
--eate.5^^1836 he-was employ
ed to supervise -^he publication
of "Revised Statutes of Arkan
sas." He was admitted to the
Bar-of the-Supreme Court of the
U. S. in 1849, and in his prac
tice, was greatly respected.
Pike was a man of genius
with almost unlimited powers.
His poetry ranks high, and his
poem, "Auld Lang Syne" is
universally known. A great ser
vice to the legal profession
was Pike's translation into Eng
lish, the "Pandects" (a di
gest of Roman civil law in 50
books, made by direction of
the Emperor Justinian about 533
A.D.). Pike spent several years
doing research and completed
a work relative to all the max
ims of the Roman and F rench
law. He taught himself many
languages and a large number
of dialects, among them San
scrit, Hebrew, Old Samaritan,
Chaldean, Persian, and Ameri
can Indian.
In 1850 Pike was made a
Mason, and he devoted the latter
years of his life to the interest
of the order. He wrote more
than 20 volumes of Masonic lit
erature, and became the most
eminent Mason in the world,
holding the position of Grant
Commander of the Mother
Supreme Council of the World
of the Scottish Rite for 32 years.
Pike earned special recogni
tion in the Mexican War as
Captain of a squadron of
cavalry which he had re
cruited. In 1861, Pike was made
Brigadier-General and placed
in command of the Indian Ter
rttory. Albert Pike stood tail
not only in stature, but in mind
and character. He has been
called the "Homer of America"
and the "Greatest of American
Poets."
Following the meeting, a
sweet course and coffee were
served by the hostess assisted
by Mrs. Roger Norwood.
