The Seminole Indians Of Florida, Minnie Moore-Willson
Florida Historical Quarterly
Looking backwards for nearly two centuries we see a band of red Americans, who are to become the Seminoles, separate themselves from the Creek Confederacy of Georgia and Alabama and cross the boundary into Florida. Subjects now of the Spanish crown, they become a nation to themselves, and under the sunny skies of the peninsular establish their golden-rule tribal government-characterized throughout by independence, kindliness, and honor.

Macgregor’S Invasion Of Florida, T. Frederick Davis
Florida Historical Quarterly
Gregor MacGregor was the grandson of Gregor MacGregor, the Scotchman, who enlisted in the Black Watch, then Semphill’s Highlanders, and was called in Gaelic “Gregor, the Beautiful.” When the regiment was first ordered to England, in 1743, “Gregor, the Beautiful” and two others were sent on in advance to London, so that the king of England, who was on the point of starting for the continent, might see some soldiers of the regiment before leaving. One of the men died en route, but MacGregor and the other were paraded before the king at St. James’s and gave an exhibition of …

Fort George (St. Michael), Pensacola, Frederick Cubberly
Florida Historical Quarterly
On viewing Pensacola for the first time one is at once impressed with the gradual rise of Palafox Street from the waters of the bay northward to the top of an eminence where tall shaft has been erected in memory of the soldiers of the Confederacy. To the southwest of this monument there are still traces of a fort where grim-visaged war was waged more than a century ago. Flags of three nations have waved from the fortification built on this commanding position, and the results of battles fought here have reached to distant lands and had weight in the …
