Left: As the third secretary of state, serving under President George Washington and President John Adams, Timothy Pickering directed U.S. Marshals and their deputies as they searched for fugitives and conducted other duties. Congress created the posts of U.S. Marshals—what would become the U.S. Marshals Service—in the Judiciary Act of 1789. Courtesy of the Library of Congress.

Right: The Fugitive Slave Acts often put U.S. Marshals at odds with an angry populace in the North who wanted runaway slaves to be free. Under the laws, marshals were required to search and capture runaway slaves, wherever they were found. Courtesy of the Library of Congress.
