Wilkinson Call, Soldier And Senator, Part I, Albert Hubbard Roberts
Florida Historical Quarterly
If Wilkinson Call was fortunate politically in being of a family already prominent in Florida affairs, he may have suffered historically as the nephew of a great uncle and the uncle of a great nephew; his own colorful career, including eighteen years as a United States senator, being obscured by the earlier glory of Richard Keith Call, as soldier and territorial governor of Florida, and to the present generation by the recent service of Rhydon M. Call, State and Federal jurist. Relatively few Floridians of today remember more than the name of Wilkinson Call and of these, fewer know that …

Fort Caroline, T. Frederick Davis
Florida Historical Quarterly
In 1562, Jean Ribault, seeking a location in the new world for a colony of Huguenots from France, discovered the St. Johns River. He went ashore on Batten Island at the mouth of the river, where he and his party united in a prayer of thanksgiving for the safe journey across the sea. This seems to have been the first service of the Protestant faith in North America. Leaving a marker of possession at the mouth of the river, on the south side, Ribault sailed northward along the coast. Near Port Royal, South Carolina, he left a small party of …

Edmund Ruffin's Account Of The Florida Secession Convention, 1861, Edmund Ruffin
Florida Historical Quarterly
The following account of the Florida secession convention is taken from the manuscript diary of Edmund Ruffin in the Library of Congress. Ruffin was perhaps the most eminent southern authority on agriculture in the twenty years preceding the Civil War and his experiments in soil fertility, described in his Essays on Calcareous Manures and in the columns of the Farmers’ Register which he edited, brought an agricultural renaissance to his native Virginia. Ruffin early became convinced that the interests of the agricultural South demanded that she cut loose from the Industrial North and form a Southern Confederacy. So ardent were …

The Secession Movement In Florida, 1850-1861, Part Ii, Dorothy Dodd
Florida Historical Quarterly
Florida had hardly taken her place in the Union when the controversy of 1850 forced her to consider the advisability and probable necessity of breaking the ties so recently formed. The popular verdict in that year was for the Union. But in the succeeding decade there were constant assertions of the right of, and probable necessity for secession, which were climaxed in 1861 by secession itself. Just what fears and hopes, what prejudices and passions, operated during that fateful decade to change the verdict from Union to Disunion cannot be gauged with precision ; but surface manifestations of the process …

Journal Of Lieutenant-Colonel James Grant, Commanding An Expedition Against The Cherokee Indians, June-July, 1761, James Grant
Florida Historical Quarterly
Because of his high place in the history of colonial East Florida, any important event of Governor Grant’s military career is of interest to us, especially one which was so near in place and time and which was perhaps his most successful command. (See Quarterly VIII, 116. Oct. 1929.) We are indebted to Mr. A. Macpherson Grant, of Broughton, Scotland, and London, for a copy of this journal.
