The Tekesta Indians Of Southern Florida, John Mann Groggin
Florida Historical Quarterly
The Tekesta Indians at the time of the discovery of America occupied a portion of southeastern Florida. This area seems to have comprised the greater part of Dade county and possibly to have extended north to Pompano in Broward county. To the south toward Cape Sable it is difficult to tell where the boundary between the Calusa and the Tekesta was, although Barcia says there was a Tekesta village named Abayoa at the southern extremity of the Florida peninsula (probably Cape Sable). (Barcia, Ensayo 2, bibliography, post). However, archaeological evidence seems to indicate that sites about Cape Sable are more …

The Great Storm, Tallahassee, August, 1851, Florida Historical Society
Florida Historical Quarterly
When we * went to press last week, the 23rd, we mentioned that a storm was raging which threatened to be very disastrous. It grew to be even more disastrous than we anticipated. Such an one has not been felt here within the memory of man. Neither that of 1843, which destroyed Port Leon, nor the one of 1837, was so violent and terrible. It lasted from an early hour of the morning on Saturday [August 23] till near the dawn on Sunday - at first the wind blowing in squalls more or less frequent from the East, then about …

A Prelude To The Creek War Of 1813-1814, John Innerarity To James Innerarity, Elizabeth Howard West
Florida Historical Quarterly
This letter is of unusual historical significance, for it describes the visit of McQueen and his Creeks to Pensacola, which resulted in the attack of the whites on the Indians at Burnt Corn Creek, the first fight of the war. Without this Creek victory as fuel for the war party and aid in bringing the waverers along with them, Big Warrior’s peace party might well have carried the majority with them instead. Innerarity’s letter is important in the light it throws on the relations of Governor Manrique with McQueen, and his furnishing the Indians with a large amount of ammunition- …

A Digest Of Florida Material In Niles’ Register, Florida Historical Society
Florida Historical Quarterly
Historians who write of the first half of the last century in the United States should be and are grateful to Hezekiah Niles. His Niles’ Register with its motto “The Past-The Present-For the Future” has preserved for them much that would otherwise be lost completely, and much else that is all but lost in inaccessible or too voluminous governmental and other records. This is especially true for Florida’s history. So little has been preserved in the State relating to, its past, that our historians must usually go elsewhere for their Florida material.

The First Protestant Service In North America, T. Frederick Davis

At dusk on April 30, 1562, two small vessels anchored off the bar of a river which was unknown to them, but which long afterwards became the St. Johns. Gaspard de Coligny, admiral of France and champion of the cause of the Huguenots, had decided upon America as a refuge from religious strife for his countrymen of the Protestant faith, who at the same time would create a new dominion by colonization, thereby extending the territorial possessions of France. These. two vessels under the command of Jean Ribault, 1 a native of Dieppe and a Huguenot, had been sent to …
