Settlers From Connecticut In Spanish Florida, 1808-1816, Robert E. Rutherford
Florida Historical Quarterly
Ambrose Hull was one of the Protestant Americans who answered Spain’s call of 1788 for immigrants to settle and develop the Florida lands. Hull obtained a grant of 2,600 acres in the New Smyrna area early in 1801 and began building his settlement, as narrated in Part I in de last issue of this Quarterly. Unfortunately, his first attempt was cut short by an Indian raid in which he suffered damages amounting to several thousand dollars. Nevertheless, Ambrose and his wife, Abigail, with her sister, Stella Hall, soon began rebuilding.

Documents Concerning A Voyage To The Miami Region In 1793, Richard K. Murdoch
Florida Historical Quarterly
That the southern portion of the Florida peninsular possessed no significant commercial value in colonial days was generally conceded, but its strategic importance as guardian of the Bahama Channel was fully recognized. Governors of Florida, both English and Spanish, stressed the possible dangers if this region were permitted to fall prey to enemy occupation. In spite of the acknowledged importance of the area as a military outpost, no program was undertaken by the Spanish authorities to erect permanent military bases south of the fort of San Marcos in St. Augustine and the battery on the shore of Matanzas Island. Only …

The Pensacola Indian Trade, Peter A. Brannon
Florida Historical Quarterly
Any account of the trade with the southern Indians out of Pensacola must of necessity be a historical recording of the contacts of Spanish (and British to an extent) West Florida with the Alabama Basin region to the north. The “Pensacola Trade Route” incidents make much of the romantic story of the early settlement of the Gulf country.

The Cowkeeper Dynasty Of The Seminole Nation, Kenneth W. Porter
Florida Historical Quarterly
It is generally agreed that the sons - or possibly nephews, at any rate the immediate successors - of the Alachua chief, who it was suggested in a previous article was Cowkeeper rather than Secoffee, - that these sons were Payne and Bowlegs. Sprague is probably correct when he writes of the former, “Payne was of a different character from his father and not to be led astray and blinded by absurd revelations and traditions. Though a bold and intrepid warrior, he cared more for the happiness of his people than the indulgence of vicious passions, or the influences of …

Settlers From Connecticut In Spanish Florida: Letters Of Ambrose Hull And Stella Hart 1804-1806, Robert E. Rutherford
Florida Historical Quarterly
Florida was the northern bastion of Spain’s New World empire from an early period; and, except for brief British possession (1763-1783), the land was hers for almost three hundred years. The era following 1783, when Great Britain returned Florida to Spain, until 1821, when Florida became United States territory, is known as the second Spanish period of Florida history.

De Soto’S Ucita And The Terra Ceia Site, Ripley P. Bullen
Florida Historical Quarterly
Any Indian site to qualify as De Soto’s Ucita must possess geographical attributes which agree with those assignable to that site by close reading of the De Soto narratives. This paper examines only the claim of the well-known, large Indian site at Terra Ceia, on the east side of McGill Bay. For this purpose Shaws Point on Tampa Bay is assumed to be the landing place of De Soto’s expedition, although that identification has been questioned by some.

De Soto’S First Headquarters In Florida, John R. Swanton
Florida Historical Quarterly
Knowing that Hernando de Soto, his expedition, and the places he visited will probably be matters of discussion for years and years, I have not recently ventured any further contributions regarding them. However, challenge of one of my conclusions, the probable site of the Indian town of Ucita where De Soto established his first North American headquarters, has recently been made in a scientifically motivated paper (“The Terra Ceia Site, Manatee County, Florida.” No. 3 of the Publications of the Florida Anthropological Society, by Ripley P. Bullen), and this calls for some comments.
