The Tallahassee Historical Society's "Apalachee", Florida Historical Society
Florida Historical Quarterly
The Tallahassee Historical Society has long been one of the most active local historical associations in Florida. Program meetings are held during each winter at which carefully prepared papers are read, many of them having been written after extensive research. Several of these papers have been published in this Quarterly, and a much larger number were selected and published at intervals as The Annual of the Tallahassee Historical Society in 1934, 1935, 1937 and 1939. These are mimeographed volumes of sixty to one hundred twenty pages.

The Tribulations Of Denys Rolle, Charles L. Mowat
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the brief and generally uneventful history of British East Florida greatest interest has, perhaps, attached to the two unusual experiments in colonization which were carried on in the province at New Smyrna and Rollestown. The history of both has been told by Carita Doggett Corse, 1 and to her work there is little to add. It is, however, possible to give some new light on the early difficulties which Denys Rolle met with in his attempts to establish his colony.

The Neon Bible, From Page To Screen: John Kennedy Toole’S Portrait Of Small-Town Southern Life, Heather Duerre Humann
Study the South
Louisiana-born writer John Kennedy Toole (1937–1969) represents the South in such a way that stereotypes about the region are brought to bear, he also uses his novels -- his short novel, The Neon Bible (1989), and in his better-known tragicomic novel, A Confederacy of Dunces (1980) -- to question the culture of the South. In this manner, Toole offers a multifaceted portrait of the region while also raising questions about the nature of representation.

It was in the spring of 1835, a few months before the actual commencement of that long, harrassing conflict between the Indians of Florida and the whites. Pioneer settlers in Florida had been subject to sporadic attacks by the Indians for many months. A few lives had been lost but, at this time, the conflict between the Indians, who claimed prior possession of the country, and the whites, who claimed ownership under the treaties of 1823 and 1832 had hardly reached a state of warfare.

Pioneer Florida: A Free Public School In St. Augustine, 1832, T. Frederick Davis
Florida Historical Quarterly
This is an account of the first public school, under the American system of support by property taxation, established in Florida after it became a possession of the United States by transfer from Spain in 1821. The school was opened in St. Augustine in 1832, and these facts concerning it are derived largely from the contemporaneous St. Augustine Florida Herald, copies of which are in the Library of Congress. Apparently there are no extant official records of the establishment of this school, and it seems to be unknown to writers on Florida’s early educational movements. Therefore, the ordinances concerning the …

The Wrecking Business On The Florida Reef, 1822-1860, Dorothy Dodd
Florida Historical Quarterly
The Gulf of Mexico is a great inland sea with two outlets, the Canal de Yucatan between Yucatan and Cuba, and the Straits of Florida between Cuba and Florida. Because of the adverse winds and currents that prevail in the former for eight months of the year, and especially that part of the year when the great ante-bellum cotton crop was moved to market, sailing ships never attempted to make the outward passage through the Yucatan Pass. Consequently, the commerce of the western ports, of New Orleans and Galveston, Apalachicola and Mobile, passed through the Florida Straits. Likewise, shipping from …

Pioneer Florida: Admission To Statehood, 1845, T. Frederick Davis
Florida Historical Quarterly
Florida added the twenty-seventh star So the flag of the United States, Texas the twenty-eighth, and Iowa the twenty-ninth. By an act of Congress March 3, 1845, the territories of Florida and Iowa were authorized to enter the Union as states if and when they should meet the requirements for admission to statehood. The joint admission followed a policy designed to maintain a balance of power in Congress upon the serious questions of the times, mainly slavery, by admitting a Northern and a Southern territory together.
