Journal Of Lieutenant-Colonel James Grant, Commanding An Expedition Against The Cherokee Indians, June-July, 1761, James Grant

Florida Historical Quarterly

Because of his high place in the history of colonial East Florida, any important event of Governor Grant’s military career is of interest to us, especially one which was so near in place and time and which was perhaps his most successful command. (See Quarterly VIII, 116. Oct. 1929.) We are indebted to Mr. A. Macpherson Grant, of Broughton, Scotland, and London, for a copy of this journal.


The Secession Movement In Florida, 1850-1861, Part I, Dorothy Dodd 2020 University of Central Florida

The Secession Movement In Florida, 1850-1861, Part I, Dorothy Dodd

Florida Historical Quarterly

Florida had hardly taken her place in the Union when the controversy of 1850 forced her to consider the advisability and probable necessity of breaking the ties so recently formed. The popular verdict in that year was for the Union. But in the succeeding decade there were constant assertions of the right of, and probable necessity for secession, which were climaxed in 1861 by secession itself. Just what fears and hopes, what prejudices and passions, operated during that fateful decade to change the verdict from Union to Disunion cannot be gauged with precision ; but surface manifestations of the process …

Anthropology In Florida, Rhea M. Smith 2020 University of Central Florida

Anthropology In Florida, Rhea M. Smith

Florida Historical Quarterly

Any attempt to investigate the origin and customs of the aborigines of Florida through reliance on written materials is almost immediately frustrated by the paucity of such material and the scantiness of data available. Even an attempt to summarize the work done by field investigators leads to the baffling task of trying to reconcile conflicting theories, a condition that arises from the fact that the conclusions reached as to the origin, antiquity, and life of the early peoples of Florida are so indefinite. Yet there are few regions in the United States more abundantly supplied with mounds that call for …

William Pope Duval: Pioneer And State Builder, James Owen Knauss 2020 University of Central Florida

William Pope Duval: Pioneer And State Builder, James Owen Knauss

Florida Historical Quarterly

The life of William Pope DuVal, the first civil governor of the territory of Florida, should be an attractive study for anyone who is interested in the colorful characters of our frontier history. He belongs to the same class of pioneers as Sam Houston of Texas. Frontiersmen of this type not only were among the vanguard as settlers but also remained long in the new settlements as leaders in their development. Hence, a study of DuVal’s life, while interesting for many reasons, is particularly important because it enables us to see a cross section of the history of Florida between …
