Newspaper Mottoes In Ante-Bellum Florida, William Warren Rogers
Newspaper Mottoes In Ante-Bellum Florida, William Warren Rogers
Florida Historical Quarterly
Southern newspapers before the Civil War were individualistic, caustic, and for the most part politically partisan. The typical newspaper devoted a page to foreign news, contained a section devoted to literary items, and had an outspoken editorial page. Editors borrowed liberally from each other, usually but not always citing the sources of their borrowings. The last page was filled with advertisements but they were also scattered throughout the paper, frequently appearing on page one.
Florida's 1926 Senatorial Primary, Wayne Flynt
Florida's 1926 Senatorial Primary, Wayne Flynt
Florida Historical Quarterly
If historical speculation were profitable, few Florida elections would offer more possibilities than the Democratic Senatorial primary of 1926. An election which ended as a routine skirmish between an entrenched incumbent, Duncan U. Fletcher, and a relatively obscure politico, Jerry W. Carter, could have been a struggle for political survival. To fully comprehend the possibilities of 1926, it is necessary to review some historical antecedents.
Federal Relations With The Apalachicola Indians, 1823-1838, James W. Covington
Federal Relations With The Apalachicola Indians, 1823-1838, James W. Covington
Florida Historical Quarterly
In Grant Foreman's outstanding book Indian Removal, the classic account of the Five Civilized Tribes’ movement from the southeastern United States into Indian Territory, the author introduces the Seminole section with the following words: "In the dishonorable record of our dealings with the Indians there is perhaps no blacker chapter than that relating to the Seminole people." l Certainly when we think of the Seminoles we recall broken treaties, dogs tracking Indians through the swamps and the capture of Osceola while protected by a flag of truce. One rather shady phase of the Seminole removal which has been somewhat neglected …

Florida's First Railroad Commission, 1887-1891, Durward W. Long
Florida Historical Quarterly
The purchase of four million acres of land from the State of Florida by Hamilton Disston at the rate of $.25 an acre brought with it several important developments. Funds received by the state from this purchase enabled the trustees of the Internal Improvement Fund to free state land from litigation which had prevented the sale of land under their control. After the sale, the trustees were free once more to extend land grants to railroad companies. The practical effect was a great increase in railroad construction in the years following. Between 1880 and 1888 the mileage of track increased …

The following interesting letter has been made available to the Quarterly through the good offices of Paul L. Maddock and Judge James R. Knott. It was secured by Miss Mary Stavely of Palm Beach on a recent trip to England. The writer, Tom Agar, was the great-uncle of Mrs. Vera Pickard, Kirby Muxloe, Leicestershire, England. This was the only letter received in England from Agar, and his eventual fate is unknown.

The editors commend to the careful attention of all of our readers the provocative lead article in this number written by Dr. Charles W. Arnade of the University of South Florida. Few will agree with everything that is said in it, but the editors believe that it is a fair representation of the cavalier disregard for the historical heritage of Florida which is shown by too many of our citizens who should know better.

A Scientist Observes Florida: 1870, John Large, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
No roll of nineteenth century America’s eminent men of science would be complete without the name of Jared Potter Kirtkurd. His noteworthy career was no less of an ornament to the historical recollection of northeastern Ohio than to the scientific fraternity of the country as a whole. Kirtland’s endeavors led him into many areas of public enlightenment. Born in Connecticut in 1793, of deeply-rooted New England ancestry, young Jared had shown an early enthusiasm for horticulture and natural history. At the age of fifteen years he made an original scientific contribution. Later in 1815, at Yale Medical College, he received …

The End Of An Idyll, Robert L. Anderson
The End Of An Idyll, Robert L. Anderson
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the year 1687 a boat arrived in St. Augustine containing ten Negroes-eight men and two women-who had fled slavery in the English settlement of St. George to the north of St. Augustine. If this little group were not the first to flee from the practices of the English settlements of North America, they were among the first for whom documentation is available. The significance of the event is that at an early date Florida began to function as an escape-valve, as an attractive alternative to a life of servitude in the colonies to the north. It might be maintained …
Politics And Property During The Transfer Of Florida From Spanish To English Rule, 1763-1764, Robert L. Gold
Politics And Property During The Transfer Of Florida From Spanish To English Rule, 1763-1764, Robert L. Gold
Florida Historical Quarterly
England acquired legal and sovereign control of Spanish Florida on February 10, 1763. After more than a century of imperialistic adventures, which had assumed the form of invasions and guerrilla penetrations from her colonies to the north, Great Britain wrested Florida from Spain’s grip at the Paris peace conferences following the French and Indian War. Because the British had successfully assaulted Havana in the summer of 1762, the Spanish negotiators reluctantly bartered Florida away in order to retrieve their great treasure terminal of the Indies. Less than four months of diplomacy were required to arrange the end of almost two …

Recent Problems Of Florida History, Charles W. Arnade
Recent Problems Of Florida History, Charles W. Arnade
Florida Historical Quarterly
The time I come to you not with a research paper which has resurrected from oblivion with the help of original documents a certain phase or episode of Florida history. That kind of job is tedious but rewarding and requires expert training, enthusiasm, perseverance, and often linguistic and paleographic knowledge. This last might seem to be snobbish or an expression of professional conceit. It is not. Rather, it emphasizes the problem we face here in Florida in dealing with state and local history. This problem is nothing other than what is the difference and what should be the proper cooperation …

One of the notable old family names of Georgia and Florida is that of Hallowes. The founder of the Florida branch of this family was Miller Hallowes, an ancestor of Miss Elise Dancy Davis of Tallahasee. On a visit to England in 1960, Miss Davis was able to consult the researches of Dr. Lorton A. Wilson of Derby who had devoted the years of his retirement to tracing his origins and those of his wife, who was a Hallowes descendant. Through the kind offices of Miss Moira Wilson, the late Dr. Wilson’s daughter, and the Irish Genealogical Society, with whom …

The Constitution Of 1868, Jerrell H. Shofner
Florida Historical Quarterly
On March 2, 1867, Congress enacted a law declaring that no legal government existed in Florida. As a part of the Third Military District, Florida was placed under a commander whose authority was superior to the outlawed state government. The law provided that the state could resume normal relations with the Union when it had adopted the fourteenth amendment and formed a constitution in conformity with the Constitution of the United States. This instrument was to be drawn up by a convention of delegates elected by all eligible male citizens, ratified by the people, and approved by Congress. No persons …

Jacksonville During The Civil War, Samuel Proctor
Jacksonville During The Civil War, Samuel Proctor
Florida Historical Quarterly
The year 1860 was one of political unrest and agitation in Florida. Most Southerners argued with an unyielding passion that secession had become a matter of necessity and that independence was the only possible course of action for the South. A political meeting in Jacksonville on May 15, 1860, overwhelmingly resolved: “We are of the opinion that the right of the citizens of Florida are no longer safe in the Union and we think she should raise the banner of secession and invite her southern sisters to join her.” The Jacksonville Standard, on July 26, 1860, announced that if “in …
Tampa At The Close Of The Nineteenth Century, Jose Rivero Muniz
Tampa At The Close Of The Nineteenth Century, Jose Rivero Muniz
Florida Historical Quarterly
Before the advent of the tobacco industry, Tampa was a population center of slight importance in the State of Florida. Fishing, wood-cutting, and the cultivation of certain vegetables were the principal occupation of its few inhabitants. Located on sandy and relatively arid ground which was covered by few trees other than stunted pines and unexploitable palmetto palms, the extensive prairies of the region were marked principally by numerous marshes and a few sulphur springs. It was not an infrequent occurrence among the isolated thickets to stumble upon an apparently sleeping alligator or a scarcely less dangerous rattlesnake or water moccasin.
Textbook Writers And The Florida "Purchase" Myth, Harris G. Warren
Textbook Writers And The Florida "Purchase" Myth, Harris G. Warren
Florida Historical Quarterly
That teachers and writers of history must strive for accuracy is a proposition hardly open to debate. Our textbook writers labor under an especially heavy charge to keep us abreast of research which corrects misinterpretations and presents newly discovered facts. They must not call true those myths or fables which once masqueraded as sober fact. No history professor would be likely to adopt a text which presented the cherry tree myth as a true incident in Washington’s life. Yet many textbooks contain explanations which do not conform with the published results of careful research. A case in point is the …
