<h2 >Early life[<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Albert_Pike&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Early life" >edit</a>]</h2>

<p >Pike was born in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston" title="Boston" >Boston</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massachusetts" title="Massachusetts" >Massachusetts</a>, the son of Ben and Sarah (Andrews) Pike, and spent his childhood in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byfield,Massachusetts" title="Byfield, Massachusetts" >Byfield</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newburyport,Massachusetts" title="Newburyport, Massachusetts" >Newburyport, Massachusetts</a>. His colonial ancestors settled the area in 1635,<sup id="cite_ref-mscacw_2-0" class="reference" ><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Pike#cite_note-mscacw-2" >[2]</a></sup> and included <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Pike(settler)" title="John Pike (settler)" >John Pike</a> (1613–1688/1689), the founder of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodbridge,New_Jersey" class="mw-redirect" title="Woodbridge, New Jersey" >Woodbridge, New Jersey</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference" ><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Pike#cite_note-3" >[3]</a></sup> He attended school in Newburyport and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Framingham,Massachusetts" title="Framingham, Massachusetts" >Framingham</a> until he was 15. In August 1825, he passed entrance exams at <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvard_University" title="Harvard University" >Harvard University</a>, though when the college requested payment of tuition fees for the first two years he chose not to attend. He began a program of self-education, later becoming a schoolteacher in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gloucester,Massachusetts" title="Gloucester, Massachusetts" >Gloucester</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bedford,Massachusetts" title="Bedford, Massachusetts" >North Bedford</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairhaven,Massachusetts" title="Fairhaven, Massachusetts" >Fairhaven</a> and Newburyport.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference" ><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Pike#cite_note-4" >[4]</a></sup>

Pike was an imposing figure; six feet tall and 300 pounds with hair that reached his shoulders and a long beard.<sup id="cite_ref-smithassoc_5-0" class="reference" ><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Pike#cite_note-smithassoc-5" >[5]</a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Cutrer_6-0" class="reference" ><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Pike#cite_note-Cutrer-6" >[6]</a></sup> In 1831, he left Massachusetts to travel west, first stopping in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nashville,Tennessee" title="Nashville, Tennessee" >Nashville, Tennessee</a> and later moving on to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St.Louis,Missouri" class="mw-redirect" title="St. Louis, Missouri" >St. Louis, Missouri</a>. There he joined an expedition to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taos,New_Mexico" title="Taos, New Mexico" >Taos, New Mexico</a>, hunting and trading.<sup id="cite_ref-mscacw_2-1" class="reference" ><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Pike#cite_note-mscacw-2" >[2]</a></sup> During the excursion his horse broke and ran, forcing Pike to walk the remaining 500 miles to Taos. After this he joined a trapping expedition to the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Llano_Estacado" title="Llano Estacado" >Llano Estacado</a> in New Mexico and Texas. Trapping was minimal and, after traveling about 1,300 miles (650 on foot), he finally arrived at <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_Smith,_Arkansas" title="Fort Smith, Arkansas" >Fort Smith, Arkansas</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-Cutrer_6-1" class="reference" ><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Pike#cite_note-Cutrer-6" >[6]</a></sup></p>

<p >Settling in Arkansas in 1833, Pike taught in a school and wrote a series of articles for the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Rock,Arkansas" title="Little Rock, Arkansas" >Little Rock</a> <i>Arkansas Advocate</i> under the pen name of "Casca."<sup id="cite_ref-moneyhon_7-0" class="reference" ><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Pike#cite_note-moneyhon-7" >[7]</a></sup> The articles were popular enough that he was asked to join the newspaper's staff. After marrying Mary Ann Hamilton in 1834, he purchased the newspaper.<sup id="cite_ref-ipw_8-0" class="reference" ><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Pike#cite_note-ipw-8" >[8]</a></sup> Under Pike's administration the <i>Advocate</i> promoted the viewpoint of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whig_Party(United_States)" title="Whig Party (United States)" >Whig Party</a> in a politically volatile and divided Arkansas December 1832.<sup id="cite_ref-moneyhon_7-1" class="reference" ><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Pike#cite_note-moneyhon-7" >[7]</a></sup>

He was the first reporter for the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arkansas_Supreme_Court" title="Arkansas Supreme Court" >Arkansas Supreme Court</a> and also wrote a book (published anonymously), titled <i>The Arkansas Form Book</i>, which was a guidebook for lawyers.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" >[<i><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed" >citation needed</a></i>]</sup> Pike then began to study law and was admitted to the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bar_(law)" title="Bar (law)" >bar</a> in 1837, selling the <i>Advocate</i> the same year. He also made several contacts among the Native American tribes in the area. He specialized in claims on behalf of Native Americans against the federal government.<sup id="cite_ref-smithassoc_5-1" class="reference" ><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Pike#cite_note-smithassoc-5" >[5]</a></sup> In 1852 he represented <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscogee" title="Muscogee" >Creek Nation</a> before the Supreme Court in a claim regarding ceded tribal land. In 1854 he advocated for the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choctaw" title="Choctaw" >Choctaw</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chickasaw" title="Chickasaw" >Chickasaw</a> although compensation later awarded to the tribes in 1856 and 1857 was insufficient.<sup id="cite_ref-ipw_8-1" class="reference" ><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Pike#cite_note-ipw-8" >[8]</a></sup> These relationships were to influence the course of his Civil War service.

Additionally, Pike wrote on several legal subjects and continued producing poetry, a hobby he had begun in his youth in Massachusetts. His poems were highly regarded in his day, but are now mostly forgotten. Several volumes of his works were privately published posthumously by his daughter. In 1859, he received an honorary Master of Arts degree from Harvard.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference" ><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Pike#cite_note-9" >[9]</a></sup></p>

<h3 >Mexican-American War[<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Albert_Pike&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Mexican-American War" >edit</a>]</h3>

<p >When the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexican%E2%80%93American_War" title="Mexican–American War" >Mexican–American War</a> started, Pike joined the Regiment of Arkansas Mounted Volunteers (a cavalry regiment) and was commissioned as a troop commander with the rank of captain in June 1846. With his regiment, he fought in the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Buena_Vista" title="Battle of Buena Vista" >Battle of Buena Vista</a>. Pike was discharged in June 1847. He and his commander, Colonel <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Selden_Roane" title="John Selden Roane" >John Selden Roane</a>, had several differences of opinion. This situation led finally to an "inconclusive" <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duel" title="Duel" >duel</a> between Pike and Roane on July 29, 1847 near Fort Smith, Arkansas.<sup id="cite_ref-Eicher429_10-0" class="reference" ><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Pike#cite_note-Eicher429-10" >[10]</a></sup> Although several shots were fired in the duel, nobody was injured, and the two were persuaded by their seconds to discontinue it.<sup id="cite_ref-allsopp_11-0" class="reference" ><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Pike#cite_note-allsopp-11" >[11]</a></sup>

After the war, Pike returned to the practice of law, moving to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Orleans,_Louisiana" class="mw-redirect" title="New Orleans, Louisiana" >New Orleans</a> for a time beginning in 1853.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" >[<i><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed" >citation needed</a></i>]</sup> He wrote another book, <i>Maxims of the Roman Law and some of the Ancient French Law, as Expounded and Applied in Doctrine and Jurisprudence</i>.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_12-0" class="reference" ><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Pike#cite_note-:0-12" >[12]</a></sup> Although unpublished, this book increased his reputation among his associates in law. He returned to Arkansas in 1857, gaining some amount of prominence in the legal field and becoming an advocate of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery" title="Slavery" >slavery</a>, although retaining his affiliation with the Whig Party.

In 1847 Pike became disillusioned when the Whig Party refused to take a stand on slavery. At the Southern Commercial Convention of 1854, Pike said the South should remain in the Union and seek equality with the North, but if the South "were forced into an inferior status, she would be better out of the Union than in it."<sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference" ><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Pike#cite_note-13" >[13]</a></sup> His anti-Catholicism stand led him to join the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Know_Nothing" title="Know Nothing" >Know Nothing</a>movement when it was organized in 1856, but was again disappointed when it refused to adopt a strong pro-slavery platform. He joined the other Southern delegates and walked out of the convention. His stand was that state's rights superseded national law and supported the idea of a Southern secession. This stand is made clear in his pamphlet of 1861, "State or Province, Bond or Free?"<sup id="cite_ref-moneyhon_7-2" class="reference" ><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Pike#cite_note-moneyhon-7" >[7]</a></sup></p>

<h3 >Civil War[<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Albert_Pike&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Civil War" >edit</a>]</h3>

<p >In 1861 Pike penned the lyrics to <i>Dixie to Arms!</i>.<sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference" ><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Pike#cite_note-14" >[14]</a></sup> At the beginning of the war, Pike was appointed as Confederate envoy to the Native Americans. In this capacity he negotiated <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_treaties_of_the_Confederate_States_of_America" title="List of treaties of the Confederate States of America" >several treaties</a>, one of the most important being with <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cherokee" title="Cherokee" >Cherokee</a> chief <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Ross_(Cherokee_chief)" title="John Ross (Cherokee chief)" >John Ross</a>, which was concluded in 1861.<sup id="cite_ref-smithassoc_5-2" class="reference" ><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Pike#cite_note-smithassoc-5" >[5]</a></sup>

Pike was commissioned as a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brigadier_general_(United_States)" title="Brigadier general (United States)" >brigadier general</a> on November 22, 1861, and given a command in the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Territory" title="Indian Territory" >Indian Territory</a>. With Gen. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_McCulloch" title="Benjamin McCulloch" >Ben McCulloch</a>, Pike trained three Confederate <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regiment" title="Regiment" >regiments</a> of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_cavalry" title="Indian cavalry" >Indian cavalry</a>, most of whom belonged to the "<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Civilized_Tribes" title="Five Civilized Tribes" >civilized tribes</a>", whose loyalty to the Confederacy was variable. Although initially victorious at the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Pea_Ridge" title="Battle of Pea Ridge" >Battle of Pea Ridge</a> (Elkhorn Tavern) in March 1862,<sup id="cite_ref-mscacw_2-2" class="reference" ><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Pike#cite_note-mscacw-2" >[2]</a></sup> Pike's unit was defeated later in a counterattack, after falling into disarray. When Pike was ordered to send troops to Arkansas in May 1862, he resigned in protest.<sup id="cite_ref-ipw_8-2" class="reference" ><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Pike#cite_note-ipw-8" >[8]</a></sup> As in the previous war, Pike came into conflict with his superior officers, at one time drafting a letter to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jefferson_Davis" title="Jefferson Davis" >Jefferson Davis</a> complaining about his direct superior.<sup id="cite_ref-15" class="reference" ><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Pike#cite_note-15" >[15]</a></sup>

After Pea Ridge, Pike was faced with charges that his troops had <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalping" title="Scalping" >scalped</a> soldiers in the field.<sup id="cite_ref-16" class="reference" ><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Pike#cite_note-16" >[16]</a></sup> Maj. Gen. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_C.Hindman" title="Thomas C. Hindman" >Thomas C. Hindman</a> also charged Pike with mishandling of money and material, ordering his arrest.<sup id="cite_ref-Smith585_17-0" class="reference" ><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Pike#cite_note-Smith585-17" >[17]</a></sup> Both these charges were later found to be considerably lacking in evidence; nevertheless Pike, facing arrest, escaped into the hills of Arkansas, sending his resignation from the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confederate_States_Army" title="Confederate States Army" >Confederate States Army</a> on July 12.<sup id="cite_ref-Smith585_17-1" class="reference" ><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Pike#cite_note-Smith585-17" >[17]</a></sup> He was at length arrested on November 3 under charges of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insubordination" title="Insubordination" >insubordination</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treason" title="Treason" >treason</a>, and held briefly in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warren,Fannin_County,_Texas" title="Warren, Fannin County, Texas" >Warren, Texas</a>, but his resignation was accepted on November 11 and he was allowed to return to Arkansas.<sup id="cite_ref-Smith585_17-2" class="reference" ><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Pike#cite_note-Smith585-17" >[17]</a></sup></p>
