Local histories are the foundation stones of State history. Florida, which is far behind its neighbors in the knowledge of its history, is beginning to catch up. A number of local and regional associations are organized, and some are collecting and preserving the historical material of their areas. Miami, Jacksonville, Pensacola, St. Petersburg, Palm Beach, the Manatee region, and others have collections. An important recent addition is the Tampa area with its Hillsborough County Historical Commission. There is a revival of historical effort in St. Augustine, the gem of Florida’s historic past, with the collection and work of the St. …

Negro Slavery In Florida, Part Ii, Edwin L. Williams, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
As the plantation regime expanded in territorial Florida and the Negro population became more numerous it became necessary that the slave system should be supported by statutory law. The purpose of the law was primarily to control the slave through a strict regulation of the system, and only incidentally to give him protection from ill usage. In 1828 the Legislative Council laid the legal basis for future legislation concerning Negro slaves by the passage of an act which stated that “slaves shall be deemed, held, and taken as personal property for every purpose whatever." This act placed the Negro slave …

The National Farmers’ Alliance Convention Of 1890, And Its “Ocala Demands”, Samuel Proctor
Florida Historical Quarterly
Probably there were none as surprised or as pleased as were Florida’s four delegates to the National Farmers’ Alliance Convention when it was decided that the 1890 meeting of the National Alliance Supreme Council would be held in Jacksonville. Politically a part of the “solid South”, and with a population of only a few thousand, it seemed scarcely possible that frontier Florida would be chosen, nor could it well play host to any national organization, even one as politically adolescent as was the National Farmers’ Alliance in 1889. However, Florida’s invitation was accepted by the convention which met in St. …

Political Factions In Territorial Florida, Herbert J. Doherty, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the early days of the territorial period, politics in Florida were largely of a personal nature as certain men of wealth and education became the natural leaders of the political life on the frontier. When Florida became a United States territory there was nominally only one political party, and political lines nationally were in a state of flux. Consequently, while the settlers of Florida usually came with definite political ideas, they were not tied to a party nor did they bring readymade ideas of party with them.

Hernando De Miranda, Governor Of Florida 1575-1577, Ray E. Held
Florida Historical Quarterly
Second in the list of governors of Spanish Florida stands the name of one Hernando de Miranda. An almost unknown figure, he was for two years King Philip II’s adelantado, captain-general, and governor for the royal provinces of Florida. Following the rule of the first governor, the famous and able commander, Pedro Menendez de Aviles, Miranda’s brief administration (1575 to 1577) occurred at a time when Florida, having been made secure against the French, was settling down into the two centuries of the relatively obscure first Spanish colonial period. That Miranda was succeeded in turn by another capable governor, Pedro …

Negro Slavery In Florida, Edwin L. Williams, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
Negro slavery existed in Florida long before it became American territory and the Negro began to play his part in the drama of Florida history at a very early date. If we are to credit the narrative of Cabeca De-Vaca, as translated by Buckingham Smith, at least two Negroes accompanied the Narvaez expedition to Florida in 1528, though no mention is made as to whether they were slave or free. One of these Negroes was among the few survivors of this ill-fated expedition who finally reached Mexico. A few Negro slaves accompanied the great expedition of Hernando DeSoto when it …

No Home For The Society In Tallahassee, Florida Historical Society
Florida Historical Quarterly
The governments of many states provide homes for and give other aid to their State historical societies. At the annual meeting of the Society in 1947 the question of asking for space in some State owned building in Tallahassee was discussed and a resolution was adopted requesting the Society’s Legislative Committee to draft such a bill and endeavor to secure its passage, but no agreement was to be made that the Society would accept the space that might be offered.

In continuation of its series of quarterly program meetings, the Jacksonville Historical Society presented two addresses on February 10 before a large gathering of the history-minded. Mrs. Margaret Fleming Biddle carried her hearers back to early days in picturing "Hibernia, Fleming’s Island" - a picture which should be recorded in print so that others now and in after years might see the picture too.
