Justice John Archibald Campbell was preeminently a man of the nineteenth century: his life spanned all but its first and last decades, and his personal philosophy of economic individualism reflected an age when industrialization and development of vast natural resources seemed to present the opportunity for every individual to elevate himself.
In 1838, Campbell was retained by several landowners whose claims of riparian rights in land between the high and low marks of the Mobile River were under attack in ejectment suits brought by the City of Mobile and the heirs of William Pollard, a grantee from the Spanish crown.
Campbell was convinced that the Fourteenth Amendment granted legal protection to the natural law fundamental rights–such as the right to pursue a lawful calling–embodied in the Thirteenth Amendment.

 Tonight - Time for a good storytelling
Born in the tiny village of Mbokotwana, Archibald Campbell Jordan was to become an academic, author, linguist, critic, poet, musician and cricketer...plus a nationalist, a freedom fighter and a revolutionary.
He was also the father of Zweledinga Pallo Jordan, the distinguished ANC member who once tangled with Nelson Mandela over Jordan's commitment to a genuinely independent state broadcast system, as opposed to the government mouthpiece it remains, with only a change of masters.
So writes Pallo Jordan in his foreword, and he would perhaps agree that equally, a book of this nature is "contrived" in contrast with the traditional format of the storyteller, and the expected interaction with the audience.
