The Irving Bacheller Essay Contest In Florida History: Historic Landmarks Of My County, John Pikula
The Irving Bacheller Essay Contest In Florida History: Historic Landmarks Of My County, John Pikula
Florida Historical Quarterly
Of the many landmarks of the Halifax country, one of which probably the least is known is the old Bulow Plantation, the remains of which are found near the old King’s Road approximately eleven miles north of the city of Ormond. Owing to the extreme difficulty in gaining access to the place, it is but seldom frequented and consequently little known. But this does not signify its lack of historical value. On the contrary, it is quite the opposite. For it was not only the most extensive plantation ever to exist in the Halifax country, but it also was occupied …

In an early issue of the Quarterly Dr. Boyd will give us a paper on the so-called Negro Fort which will be an introduction to a series of letters written near the site of the fort by Edmund Doyle, trader and representative of John Forbes and Company (successors to Panton, Leslie and Company) to Forbes, and James and John Innerarity, members of that firm (1808-1817).
Early Orange Culture In Florida And The Epocal Cold Of 1835, T. Frederick Davis
Early Orange Culture In Florida And The Epocal Cold Of 1835, T. Frederick Davis
Florida Historical Quarterly
One of Ponce de Leon’s ambitions was to grow fruit in Florida that His Majesty, the Emperor Charles V of Spain, might be served therewith, and when he embarked upon his voyage to colonize Florida he carried seeds of all kinds for planting. Probably the orange was included and possibly on the shore of Charlotte Harbor the first orange tree in Florida grew in 1521; or perhaps Narvaez or DeSoto included oranges in his commissariat and left seed here to germinate into trees? These are interesting thoughts; but we turn from speculation to historical record for the following account

The Union Bank Of Tallahassee: An Experiment In Territorial Finance, Kathryn T. Abbey
Florida Historical Quarterly
In view of the recent financial confusion in the United States, similar difficulties of the Florida of a century ago assume more than a passing interest. The problem of self development has always been pressing for Florida; since the days of the purchase from Spain exaggerated claims of economic opportunity have lured the investor sometimes to sound wealth and sometimes, alas, to the reverse. The first Florida boom was launched in 1821 when the United States government set itself the task of raising the five million dollar purchase price from the sale of the lands just acquired. These internal improvement …

Public Education In Spanish St. Augustine, Joseph B. Lockey
Public Education In Spanish St. Augustine, Joseph B. Lockey
Florida Historical Quarterly
A school for white children existed in St. Augustine as early as 1606. Whether it continued to function during the rest of this first period of Spanish dominion is a question that cannot now be answered. But if it did survive, it must have come to a close on the cession of the province to the British in 1763; for the change of sovereignty was followed by a general abandonment of the territory by the Spanish inhabitants. When the Spanish came back twenty years later the British in turn departed. With the restoration of sovereignty went the restoration of the …

This year is the sixtieth anniversary of a sojourn in Tampa by a noted figure in the development of American literary and musical history; for Sidney Lanier, who was later to earn a high place among the poets of America, was for three months a visitor in Tampa, where several of his poems were written and others planned.
The Contention Over The Superintendencia Of The Floridas, D. C. Corbitt
The Contention Over The Superintendencia Of The Floridas, D. C. Corbitt
Florida Historical Quarterly
Louisiana was granted the privilege of trading with France for a period of ten years by a royal cedula of January 22, 1782. The importance of this cedula in the history of Louisiana and in the commercial history of the Spanish Empire can scarcely be overestimated. We are interested here, however, in a side issue which it provoked.

Florida University (1883), C. L. Crow
Florida Historical Quarterly
The most ambitious and most visionary attempt ever made to establish in Florida an institution of higher learning was probably that of the founders, or founder, of Florida University. The plan of organization of the proposed school, altho not successfully carried out, was nevertheless worthy of some respect, for Dr. Kost, its main proponent, had perhaps a vision similar in part to that which afterward inspired Mr. Buckman.

Engagements At St. Johns Bluff St. Johns River, September-October, 1862, T. Frederick Davis
Florida Historical Quarterly
Jacksonville was first occupied by Federal troops March 12, 1862, for the purpose of giving aid and comfort to the Union sympathizers of the region. The town was evacuated in less than a month, but a Federal blockade of the St. Johns River was maintained by gunboats of Admiral Du Pont’s South Atlantic squadron with their station at a steam sawmill called Mayport Mills, a settlement that grew into the present town of Mayport and from which the name Mayport is derived. The gunboats patrolled the river at will and frequently went up to Jacksonville and beyond to reconnoiter. To …
