Letters Of William Cullen Bryant From Florida, Charles I. Glicksberg Dec 2020

Letters Of William Cullen Bryant From Florida, Charles I. Glicksberg

Florida Historical Quarterly

In 1843; on the invitation of William Gilmore Sims, Bryant had taken a journey to the South. He visited Richmond, watched the sale of tobacco, and inspected a typical tobacco factory. Later, while enjoying the ‘hospitality of some planters in the Barnwell district of South Carolina, he had the good ” fortune of witnessing a corn shucking and attending a racoon hunt. But of far greater interest to him was the life of the negro observed at first hand. He listened to negro ballads and the lively music of the banjo and heard, perhaps for the first time, the hearty, …


Edmund Kirby Smith’S Boyhood In Florida, Joseph B. James Dec 2020

Edmund Kirby Smith’S Boyhood In Florida, Joseph B. James

Florida Historical Quarterly

Edmund Kirby Smith, who became one of the few full generals of the Confederate Army during the War Between the States, was born in St. Augustine, May 16, 1824. He was the second of Judge Joseph Lee Smith, who had left Connecticut in 1823 to become one of the two judges of the Superior Court of the Territory of Florida. President Monroe had appointed Judge Smith to that post in the new territorial government that was then being set up by the United States after the acquisition of Florida from Spain in 1821.


The Transfer Of Fort San Marcos And East Florida To The United States, Rogers W. Young Dec 2020

The Transfer Of Fort San Marcos And East Florida To The United States, Rogers W. Young

Florida Historical Quarterly

Spanish Florida, comprising the provinces of East and West Florida, was ceded to the United States under the provisions of the “Treaty of Amity, Settlement, and Limits, between the United States of America and His Catholic Majesty,” of February 22, 1819. The treaty was signed in Washington by Secretary of State John Quincy Adams, and Louis de Onis, the Spanish Minister to the United States. Ratifications of the treaty were delayed, but on October 24, 1820, Ferdinand VII of Spain affixed his ratification and confirmation, while acceptance on the part of the United States Senate followed on February 19, Three …

East Florida Seminary - Micanopy, C. L. Crow Dec 2020

East Florida Seminary - Micanopy, C. L. Crow

Florida Historical Quarterly

For some eight years there existed in Florida, less than thirty miles apart, two schools founded at approximately the same time and bearing similar names: the one, “East Florida State Seminary, located in Ocala and controlled by the State; the other, “East Florida Seminary”, established in Micanopy and, at least nominally, under the care of the Florida Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. This Conference, it may be said in passing, extended at the time from Key West to Albany and from the Atlantic to Apalachicola, thus covering all Middle and East Florida and that part of Georgia lying …

Pensacola, Florida Historical Society Dec 2020

Pensacola, Florida Historical Society

Florida Historical Quarterly

With historical addresses and other ceremony the Pensacola Historical Society on June 9, last, unveiled a monument on the site of William Panton’s garden adjoining the headquarters and warehouse of Panton, Leslie and Company. Now only the foundation of that old building remains. But here, for many years before 1800, long trains of packponies were loaded with goods which found their way into Indian habitations throughout the whole country between the Mississippi, the Tennessee, and the Chattahoochee rivers.

William Panton, Marie Taylor Greenslade Dec 2020

William Panton, Marie Taylor Greenslade

Florida Historical Quarterly

Much has been written of William Panton and his connection with the Floridas, but even so, in justice to him, too little; for, with few exceptions, most references and accounts of him have appeared in historical writings which are unsympathetic, if not antipathetic, toward the regime under which he lived and the interests he represented. There exists available material in the form of previously unpublished papers and letters of the trading house of Panton, Leslie & Company, which fills out the picture of Panton, enhances his stature, and helps to correct many inaccuracies in factual statement and estimation of character.

The First American Road In Florida: Papers Relating To The Survey And Construction Of The Pensacola-St. Augustine Highway, Part I, Mark F. Boyd

Florida Historical Quarterly

In these days of paved highways and of swift private transportation, accounts of early efforts to improve communications have a great interest. After American occupation of the territory of Florida, the inaccessibility of the only centers of population to each other soon attracted interest. This resulted in the projection and construction of the old Pensacola-St. Augustine highway, today an abandoned and almost forgotten route across the state, but interesting as the first instance of American road construction in Florida, as well as the fact that the eastern half would appear to follow one of the early Spanish routes from St. …

Ponce De Leon's Second Voyage And Attempt To Colonize Florida, T. Frederick Davis Dec 2020

Ponce De Leon's Second Voyage And Attempt To Colonize Florida, T. Frederick Davis

Florida Historical Quarterly

Following his voyage of 1513 Ponce de Leon sailed for Spain where he seems to have given a favorable account of his discoveries, for on September 26 (or 27), 1514, the King issued a patent to him to colonize Florida and Beniny, but first required his services against the Caribs, a fierce tribe of Indians inhabiting the Lesser Antilles. Returning to the West Indies Ponce de Leon proceeded against these Indians, but was severely repulsed by them. Mortified at his failure he returned to Porto Rico and remained in semi-retirement several years, apparently giving up the idea of colonizing Florida. …


Ponce De Leon's First Voyage And Discovery Of Florida, T. Frederick Davis Dec 2020

Ponce De Leon's First Voyage And Discovery Of Florida, T. Frederick Davis

Florida Historical Quarterly

Juan Ponce de Leon, after serving in the armies of Spain, embarked for the West Indies where he became active in the subjugation of the Indians, a service in which he was engaged many years. He was a soldier and led a military life until he was forty-five years of age or more. He appears in official civil life with his appointment as governor of the eastern part of Hispaniola (Haiti), known as the province of Higuey. Soon afterward he was appointed governor of the island of San Juan (now Porto Rico), which he had already partially explored and conquered …

History Of Juan Ponce De Leon's Voyages To Florida, T. Frederick Davis Dec 2020

History Of Juan Ponce De Leon's Voyages To Florida, T. Frederick Davis

Florida Historical Quarterly

On that day between the 2nd and 8th of April, 1513, when Juan Ponce de Leon stepped from his landing boat upon the sandy shore of Florida he opened the positive history of the white man within the limits of the present United States. Since then, through the centuries, his name has been perpetuated by history and is better known today than any of the early explorers with the single exception of Columbus. But the circumstances of his discovery of Florida are seldom related with historical accuracy, while those of his second voyage to colonize Florida are scarcely known at …

Reaching Out: The Basque Transnational Body In The Poetry Of Kirmen Uribe, Enrique Álvarez, Ester Hernández-Esteban Dec 2020

Reaching Out: The Basque Transnational Body In The Poetry Of Kirmen Uribe, Enrique Álvarez, Ester Hernández-Esteban

Studies in 20th & 21st Century Literature

In this paper we explore the contribution of Kirmen Uribe, a Basque writer, artist and cultural activist, to the process of political reconciliation in the Basque country, a socially transforming compromise brought about by the dissolution of the Basque terrorist organization ETA in October 20th, 2011. Uribe achieved literary recognition and public notoriety within the Iberian cultural landscape with the publication of his novel Bilbao-New York-Bilbao in 2008, for which he received the Spanish National Literature Prize for Narrative in the following year. However, we argue that it is with his earlier collection of poems Bistatean Heldu Eskutik …
