The Extent And Importance Of Federal Naval Raids On Salt-Making In Florida, 1862-1865, Ella Lonn 2020 University of Central Florida

The Extent And Importance Of Federal Naval Raids On Salt-Making In Florida, 1862-1865, Ella Lonn

Florida Historical Quarterly

When one thinks of the naval operations of the War for Southern Independence he is likely to consider only the exploits of the Alabama and other raiders, the duel of the Merrimac and Monitor, the continuous efforts to prevent the blockade-runners slipping into secluded harbors, and the battles of the fleets and forts. It is most unlikely that he knows of the persistent and very important operations of the Union navy all along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts from Norfolk to Vermillions Bay in Louisiana to wreck the saltmaking of the Confederates.

The Story Of The Lafayette Lands In Florida, Kathryn T. Abbey 2020 University of Central Florida

The Story Of The Lafayette Lands In Florida, Kathryn T. Abbey

Florida Historical Quarterly

Among the various kinds of men who assisted in the achievement of American independence, there is one whose devotion to liberalism and whose generosity to a struggling and, at times, almost hopeless cause cannot be gainsaid. Neither time nor the debunking zeal of some modern historian has dimmed the role of LaFayette in the founding of this republic, and it is to the credit of the nation that the debt was at length generously repaid.

Sir John Hawkins In Florida, Edgar Legare Pennington 2020 University of Central Florida

Sir John Hawkins In Florida, Edgar Legare Pennington

Florida Historical Quarterly

The visit of Sir John Hawkins to the struggling and disheartened French colonists near the mouth of what is now the St. Johns River is one of the most interesting episodes of that age of gallantry and adventure. It illustrates extreme courtesy and generosity under circumstances when ruthlessness would have been expected ; thus we see why every school-boy instinctively admires the freebooting pirate. Besides, the consequences of that short stay were felt in a revitalized curiosity regarding the new world.


International Rivalry In The Creek Country Part I, The Ascendency Of Alexander Mcgillivray 1783-1789, Lawrence Kinnaird 2020 University of Central Florida

International Rivalry In The Creek Country Part I, The Ascendency Of Alexander Mcgillivray 1783-1789, Lawrence Kinnaird

Florida Historical Quarterly

The Creek nation with its lands situated in regions claimed both by Spain and the United States occupied a strategic position at the close of the War of the American Revolution. Since no treaty existed between the two countries the question of boundaries was left entirely for future determination. The Spaniards desired to extend the limits of the Floridas as far northward as possible; while the Americans wished to establish the boundary near the Gulf as specified in the treaty with Great Britain.
