The Growth Of Florida's Election Laws, James Owen Knauss

The Nine Old Wooden Forts Of St. Augustine, Part Ii, Jeannette Thurber Conner
Florida Historical Quarterly
After Drake burned the fort at St. Augustine in 1586, the settlers gave the name of San Marcos to the wooden building which took its place - Fort Number Seven. They had long wanted and asked for a fort of stone, and it would seem as if the discovery of coquina by Pedro Menendez Marques, in 1580, should have helped to bring about the realization of their wishes; but always, something came up to prevent it.

The First Spanish-American War, A. H. Phinney
Florida Historical Quarterly
This is a better title for a story of the disturbance that occurred in Florida in 1812 than the one usually given to it, viz: The Patriot War. The so-called patriots were nearly all citizens of the United States from Georgia and Tennessee. They were supported by soldiers and gunboats of the United States. They were under the orders of an agent of the United States and were financed, by the United States. That the events did not provoke a real war between Spain and this country is only explained by the fact that Spain had been drained of men …
