The Route Of Juan Pardo's Explorations In The Interior Southeast, 1566-1568, Chester B. Depratter
Florida Historical Quarterly
In 1566-1568 Captain Juan Pardo led two expeditions through the length of what is now South Carolina, through western North Carolina, and into eastern Tennessee. Both expeditions departed from Santa Elena, a Spanish outpost which Pedro Menéndez de Avilés had established on Parris Island, near present-day Beaufort, South Carolina, and which was then part of la Florida. The route which Pardo and his men followed is important both to anthropologists and historians because it sheds light on the Indians who lived along the route, and also because the northern part of Pardo’s route closely parallels a portion of the route …

The accompanying document was published first in the New York Journal, November 5, 1767, and was reprinted without alteration half a dozen times. It appeared for the last time on March 24, 1768. It is the first known private advertisement for real estate in the history of the British colony of West Florida. James Thompson, the man who submitted it, was not the first land speculator in the province, but, in his search for customers among the general public in other parts of America, his readiness to cultivate customers of limited means, and his care to advertise property as attractively …

John Ellis, Royal Agent For West Florida, Roy A. Rauschenberg
Florida Historical Quarterly
When Britain acquired West Florida in 1763, John Ellis was appointed royal agent for West Florida. Found only in Nova Scotia, Georgia, and East and West Florida, royal or crown agents were used in underdeveloped but strategically important colonies that lacked the revenue to finance their own government. In these cases the crown assumed the financial load, and the agent was the London-based fiscal officer— the comptroller— supervising the crown’s allocations to the colony. Though easily confused with the better known and more widely used colonial agent, the royal agent was an entirely different kind of office. The royal agent …

War Comes To San Marcos, Lawrence Kinnaird
Florida Historical Quarterly
Of all the military posts established by Spain in West Florida after the Revolutionary War, San Marcos de Apalache was the only one ever to come under enemy fire. When Spain signed the treaty of San Ildefonso on August 19, 1796, and joined France in the war against Britain, military posts on the Mississippi were prepared for possible attack from Canada. There were many alarms, but all proved false. Along the Gulf coast no Spanish post was besieged by the enemy until war was brought to San Marcos by William Augustus Bowles, a British half-pay officer, and his Indian supporters.

Notes On U. S. Arsenals, Depots, And Martial Firearms Of The Second Seminole War, M. L. Brown

Escalating complaints to the United States War Department about ineffectual ordnance management by the Corps of Artillery, coupled with the rapid technological evolution of innovative small arms systems and radical manufacturing techniques, prompted Congress to pass the act of April 5, 1832, which resurrected an independent Ordnance Department. Elevated a grade in rank and appointed Chief of Ordnance on May 30 was Lieutenant Colonel George Bomford, USA (1780-1848).

Dignity And Importance: Slavery In Jefferson County, Florida-1827 To 1860, Larry Rivers
Florida Historical Quarterly
Jefferson County, formed January 16, 1827, from Leon County, was a part of the area then called middle Florida. Many settlers who migrated to this frontier area came with their slaves seeking cheap fertile land. Thomas Randall and his wife, Laura, arrived in 1827 from the Washington, D. C./Maryland area to buy inexpensive land, and a year later had their slaves brought down to them. John and Robert Gamble were among the first families of Jefferson to transport their slaves with them, in their case from Virginia. Other settlers, like the Randall and Gamble families, moved from Maryland, Virginia, North …

Following Bartram's "Track": Titian Ramsay Peale's Florida Journey, Charlotte M. Porter
Florida Historical Quarterly
On Christmas Day 1817, Titian Ramsay Peale, the seventeen-year-old son of Charles Willson Peale, noted painter and founder of the nation’s first museum, left Philadelphia with zoologist George Ord and sailed to Savannah, Georgia. There they joined the wealthy geologist, William Maclure, and Thomas Say, whose pioneering work on American insects the self-styled “Dr. T. R. Peale” had begun to illustrate for publication. All four men, including young Titian, were officers of the newly incorporated Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia. As Academy president, Maclure generously supported members’ fieldwork, although the exact scientific expectations for this collecting trip into Florida …

Palm Trees, Public Relations, And Promoters: Boosting Southeast Florida As A Motion Picture Empire, 1910-1930, Richard Alan Nelson
Florida Historical Quarterly
While the greater Miami area today is the nexus of Florida’s continuing motion picture industry, this was not always the case. Historically, Jacksonville, and to a lesser extent Tampa, were the leading film centers of the state prior to 1920. This reflected their early importance as commercial and transportation hubs, but these advantages began to be outweighed as other areas within Florida also began to develop as popular location sites.
