WILLIAM AIKEN WALKER (AMERICAN, 1838-1921) COTTON FIELD Oil on academy board. Signed 'W. A. Walker' (lower left).
William Aiken Walker (American, 1838-1921)
William Aiken Walker was an American artist best known for genre paintings of black sharecroppers. He also documented the American civil ware era during his service in the confederate army. William Aiken Walker was born to an Irish Protestant father and a mother of South Carolina background in Charleston, South Carolina. In 1861, during the American Civil War, Walker was conscripted into the Confederate Army and was sent to Morris Island as part of the Palmetto Guard. Almost immediately, Walker was sent on to Richmond and Camp Davis. He was medically discharged from the army four months later. For the remainder of the war, he served as a civilian draftsman to the Confederate Engineers Corps and made maps and drawings of Charleston’s defenses. After the Civil War, Walker moved to Baltimore, where he produced small paintings of the “Old South” to sell as tourist souvenirs. He is best known for his paintings depicting the lives of poor black emancipated slaves, especially sharecroppers in the post-reconstruction American South.

AMISTAD TRIAL, NILES NATIONAL
AMISTAD TRIAL, NILES NATIONAL REGISTER, MARCH 1841 Niles National Register, March 20, 1841. A very important issue, as an inside page has: "The Case of the Amistad" being the report of the Supreme Court on this historic slavery-related event. The "Amistad" was a United States Supreme Court case resulting from the rebellion of slaves on board the Spanish schooner of this name in 1839. The rebellion broke out when the schooner, traveling along the coast of Cuba, was taken over by a group of captives who had earlier been kidnapped in Africa and sold into slavery. The Africans were later apprehended on the vessel near Long Island, New York, by the United States Navy and taken into custody. The ensuing widely publicized court cases in the United States helped the abolitionist movement. In 1840, a federal trial court found that the initial transport of the Africans across the Atlantic (which did not involve the Amistad) had been illegal, because the international slave trade had been abolished, and that they were thus not legally slaves but free. Furthermore, given they were illegally confined, the Africans were entitled to take what legal measures necessary to secure their freedom, including the use of force. The Supreme Court affirmed this finding on March 9, 1841, and the Africans traveled home in 1842. The case influenced numerous succeeding laws. This case was made famous by the 1997 movie "Amistad" by Stephen Spielberg. This issue has extensive reporting on this case taking over 1 1/2 pages, and as noted in the prefacing comments: "...Mr. Justice Story delivered the opinion of the court...", followed by a detailed review of the case from beginning to end, with the verdict of the court as noted above, in a Baltimore newspaper, close to Washington, D.C. where the verdict was given and since the verdict was rendered on March 9 this is likely one of the earliest reports to be found in a newspaper. 16pp.
