520 1 $a"A Stranger and a Sojourner: Peter Caulder, Free Black Frontiersman in Antebellum Arkansas tells the story of Peter Caulder, a free African American settler in the Arkansas Territory. After serving as a rifleman in the War of 1812, Caulder established a community of free-born African Americans in northern Arkansas and was largely accepted by his white neighbors until an 1859 expulsion law forced the community to flee the state and settle in Missouri." "Like many frontier people, Peter Caulder was unschooled and signed his name only with a mark. To document such a man's life and to determine how he thrived within a slave society and came to join a free black backwoods community, Billy Higgins has interwoven oft-neglected primary sources from around the country - many of which are reproduced here. Through the information revealed in censuses, tax records, sutler's account books, army returns, folk stories, land warrants, traveler's journals, and newspaper notices, a fascinating account of Caulder, his family, his friends, and his community has emerged."--BOOK JACKET.
