History Of Juan Ponce De Leon's Voyages To Florida, T. Frederick Davis 2020 University of Central Florida

History Of Juan Ponce De Leon's Voyages To Florida, T. Frederick Davis

Florida Historical Quarterly

On that day between the 2nd and 8th of April, 1513, when Juan Ponce de Leon stepped from his landing boat upon the sandy shore of Florida he opened the positive history of the white man within the limits of the present United States. Since then, through the centuries, his name has been perpetuated by history and is better known today than any of the early explorers with the single exception of Columbus. But the circumstances of his discovery of Florida are seldom related with historical accuracy, while those of his second voyage to colonize Florida are scarcely known at …

A Foot-Note To Captain Young’S Itineraries: Letters Of Jeremy Robinson, Joseph B. Lockey

Florida Historical Quarterly

Topographical Memoir on East and West Florida With Itineraries of General Jackson’s Army, by Capt. Hugh Young of that army, appeared in the last three issues of the Quarterly. Another series on the same general subject of roads and travel in Florida in the early nineteenth century will be begun in the October number next: papers relating to the survey and construction of the Pensacola-St. Augustine highway, arranged and with an introduction by Mark F. Boyd to whom we are indebted for the Young memoir.


Fort Marion During The Seminole War, Rogers W. Young 2020 University of Central Florida

Fort Marion During The Seminole War, Rogers W. Young

Florida Historical Quarterly

The news that the Seminoles had begun hostilities in Florida spread slowly early in January, 1836. The intelligence stirred the country, however. The War Department had heard of the Dade’ massacre and of other Indian atrocities as early as January 4, but it was not until January 17 that it received official verification of the battle of the Withlacoochee.


An Indian Burial Site At Crystal River, Florida, F. G. Rainey 2020 University of Central Florida

An Indian Burial Site At Crystal River, Florida, F. G. Rainey

Florida Historical Quarterly

Crystal river rises in a group of large springs a few miles south of the Withlacoochee river on the west coast of Florida and flows westward for eight miles to the Gulf of Mexico. Fish are abundant in the river and the small town of Crystal River situated at the source owes its existence to an extensive fishing industry carried on in the region. Large oyster beds lie just off the mouth of the river and supply oysters to many cities in Florida.

A Topographical Memoir On East And West Florida With Itineraries (Concluded), Hugh Young 2020 University of Central Florida

A Topographical Memoir On East And West Florida With Itineraries (Concluded), Hugh Young

Florida Historical Quarterly

This part of the report contains sketches of the routes of the Army from Hartford, Georgia to Fort Scott, and thence through east and west Florida to Fort Montgomery in the Alabama territory with hints for the construction and improvement of roads through the more difficult parts of the country. It was thought best to give the Itineraries the last. place in the report, as the particular description of the routes is made more intelligible and satisfactory by the general account of the country (p. 323) which preceded it.


The Schooner Emperor: An Incident Of The Illegal Slave Trade In Florida, Dorothy Dodd 2020 University of Central Florida

The Schooner Emperor: An Incident Of The Illegal Slave Trade In Florida, Dorothy Dodd

Florida Historical Quarterly

The story of the African slave trade after its prohibition in 1808 is one which, because of the illicit nature of the trade, can never be fully known. In Florida, as in other Southern states, however, occasional hints of this subterranean traffic found their way into records which have been preserved. A record, fuller than most, found in the archives of the Florida Supreme Court as the case of the United States vs. the Schooner Emperor, may be taken as a fair illustration of the methods employed in the slave trade, when entered into upon a small scale, and of …
