Professor W. S. Jenkins, of the Department of Political Science of the University of North Carolina, has carried out an important project for the Library of Congress. A special effort has been made by the Library to secure files of the printed legislative journals of all of the states. Some of these journals were never printed, and in a few cases apparently no copy of the printed journals has survived.

This project at Rollins College has often been told of in the Quarterly; especially, in our issue of October 1937 (XVI. 119), is an account of its founding and of the well-laid plans for its growth and usefulness. So far as has been possible, these plans are being carried out, and today the Catalog is a well-established and constantly growing medium for the dissemination of information on every kind of printed or manuscript material relating in any way to Florida.

Richard Keith Call, Florida Territorial Leader, Sidney Walter Martin
Florida Historical Quarterly
One of the most colorful figures involved in the destiny of the Territory of Florida was Virginia-born Richard Keith Call. He was an Indian fighter, served two terms as governor, and left behind him an impressive political career. Most of his early years were spent in Kentucky; and the recollection of a happy childhood in that state often caused him to return for visits after his permanent home had been established in Florida. He spent several years in a military academy in Tennessee, but with the outbreak of the War of 1812, the restless and impetuous youth left the academy …

The Gibraltar Of The Gulf Of Mexico, Albert Manucy
Florida Historical Quarterly
A hundred years ago the United States was suffering frequent growing pains. The Louisiana and Florida cessions had uncorked the Mississippi, and the hardy pioneers of its valley were floating tons of produce down-river to New Orleans. From that growing port Yankee merchantman, flying Dutchman, and British brig edged out into the Gulf Stream and headed for the narrow mouth of the Gulf where they swept through the Straits past Tortugas with the Havannah to starboard, and the two scarce thirty leagues apart.

Botanical Explorers Of The Southeastern United States, H. Harold Hume
Florida Historical Quarterly
The southeastern United States, and in particular the part now embraced within the state of Florida, is an unusual area from the standpoint of its plant life. Here nature with a lavish hand scattered far and wide an unrivaled flora. It has no counterpart either in the United States or in the whole world. The number of species is great and individual specimens of the higher plants so numerous that in the pristine condition they completely covered the surface of the soil on all but the poorest lands. In support of this statement it may be added that there are …

The Triangular Contest For Florida, Florida Historical Society
Florida Historical Quarterly
Florida’s colonial history is mainly that of an intermittent struggle for possession by the three great European nations-Spain, France, and Great Britain. Though efforts were made at colonization, none were really successful except the fair beginning of the English in East Florida; the beginning in the West was in those parts only nominally and temporarily Florida. The purpose of Spain’s two hundred years of sovereignty was to keep the others out, and that was the reason for St. Augustine and Pensacola-two oases in a wilderness.

St. Francis Barracks, St. Augustine, Charles L. Mowat
Florida Historical Quarterly
Several years ago, in an article in the Quarterly, Abbot Charles H. Mohr, O. S. B., gave an interesting account of the work of the Franciscans in Florida during the first Spanish regime and described the strange history of their monastic buildings, which were converted into barracks during the British period and still give the name, and probably considerably more than the name, to the present day St. Francis Barracks on Marine street in St. Augustine. These barracks thus furnish a link of unusual interest between the present day and both the transitory regime of the British in East Florida …

Hillis Hadjo, known in English as Francis the Prophet, was a Creek chief of considerable prominence. When the famous Indian Tecumseh visited the Creek Indians during the opening phase of the War of 1812 to enlist them in the cause of the British, Francis became his convert. He was then living near the Chattahoochee river in the present state of Alabama. In the campaign of General Andrew Jackson in 1813-14 against the Creeks, Francis was driven into Spanish Florida and finally took up his abode near the Spanish Fort St. Marks.

Florida Historical Quarterly
Here is a man who was an English colonial by birth, a Spanish citizen by naturalization, and died an American citizen by virtue of the treaty through which the United States acquired the Floridas. All occurred in St. Augustine!-though some of his mature years were spent in Fernandina and in St. Marys, Georgia.
