Albert Pike

Albert Pike (1809-1891) was a Confederate general and Arkansan citizen of a strange nature. His military experience is littered with disputes with authority. He was the leader of a Satanist movement called Order of the Palladium, and is featured in a monument in D.C. for his involvement in founding the modern Masonic community in the United States. In addition to these eccentric accomplishments, he also wrote law guidebooks for Arkansan lawyers and was a prominent member of the Ku Klux Klan. The Albert Pike Campground in southeastern Arkansas is named after him.
