Or, Subtitled: “Civilization had at last come to Arkansas. So overjoyed were the inhabitants that the community celebrated the first publication of the Arkansas Gazette with a barrel of whiskey”
As I ended the previous posting, I told you that, having brought the story of Samuel Kerr Green up to 1830, when he ended his employment as an overseer at the Magnolia plantation of George Bradish and William Martin Johnson in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana, I’d provide information about indicators that at some point between 1825 and 1829, Samuel may have been in Arkansas Territory. As I’ve told his story in the posting I’ve just linked and in the posting preceding that, Samuel arrived in south Louisiana by 1822 and began working as an overseer on the Pointe Celeste plantation of Joseph Biddle and Catherine Andrews Wilkinson in Plaquemines Parish. I’ve also told pieces of this s story in several previous other postings (see here, here, here, here, here, and here).
