As far as I can tell Adams was born in CT in 1800, he published a book of poetry in 1835, he taught at a school in Mississippi in the 1840s, and married in Mississippi in 1847. I don't know how he might connect to Arkansas.

[LITTLE ROCK] ARKANSAS TRUE DEMOCRAT, July 25, 1861, p. 1, c. 6
For the True Democrat.
Calhoun Bear Hunters.
Just stand aside ye Lincoln men,
With abolition airs—
Amid your ranks of "upper ten,"
Make room for Calhoun Bears;
We joined not in the great eclat,
Inauguration day,
But offer now the shaggy paw,
In friendship or the fray.
But offer now the shaggy paw,
In friendship or in fray.
We're used to reptiles of the swamp—
We've hunting shirts and knife;
Can teach you all a waltzing jump,
The heel and toe for life;
His excellence, the negroe's [sic] friend,
We'll honor with a ball—
On diplomatic errand send,
To Nickdom's sultry hall.
On diplomatic errand send,
To Nickdom's sultry hall.
We've heart aslant of Daniel Boone,
With dog and rifle true;
We play his dirge in backwood's tune,
Upon the yauger too;
So stand aside ye Lincoln men,
With abolition airs,
And 'mid your ranks of "upper ten,"
Make room for Calhoun Bears.
And 'mid your ranks of "upper ten,"
Make room for Calhoun Bears.
G. Zelotes Adams.
The Hut, Arkansas.
