But little is known of Ponce de Leon’s two voyages to Florida. It is said that the first time he landed somewhere between the present Jacksonville and New Smyrna. We have no knowledge as to where he was defeated by the Indians when he came the second time. After Ponce de Leon came Narvaez in 1528. We have quite a full account of his expedition, written by his Treasurer, Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca. From this history we are able to definitely know where Narvaez found a landing place.

This subject can best be introduced with concrete illustrations. A year ago several Tallahasseeans interested in Florida history heard that many old letters and books were in the attic of a near-by plantation house which had been built more than twenty years before the Civil War. Attracted there, they found the unfinished attic littered with business and social letters, documents, and books - all of ante-bellum days. The greatest prize discovered was a dilapidated journal of the overseer of the slaves, of which there were more than one hundred on the place as early as 1836. As this journal gave …

Indian Races Of Florida, Benjamin Harrison
Florida Historical Quarterly
Ethnologists now accept the conclusion that the races who built the mounds were pressed to the southward by ruder invaders who came from the North and that the great battles of the conflict between the two were fought in Ohio where the remains of the fortifications erected for defense still remain. On this continent we have, on a smaller scale, a duplication of the struggle which ended in the overthrow of the Roman empire. The great body of these invaders were diverted towards Mexico, where the Toltec empire was overthrown by the Aztecs, soon to be conquered in their turn …

Florida Against Georgia: A Story Of The Boundary Dispute, Fred Cubberly
Florida Historical Quarterly
It has been said that boundary line disputes between individuals are the worst kind of quarrels, and often cause lifelong differences and even descend to heirs of original disputants. When sovereign states have boundary line questions to settle, the Supreme Court of the United States is the tribunal that settles the question, for it is in that Court alone that such questions may be litigated.

Colonial Florida, Louis J. Mendelis
Florida Historical Quarterly
The extent of territory and the duration of time covered by a subject so broad as Colonial Florida make an introductory note necessary. The name Florida once covered all the territory from the end of the Peninsula to Labrador. In Colonial times, before James Moore's destructive expedition, the name was confined to the present States of Florida and Georgia. Not until 1821 did the State acquire its present boundaries.

Florida Newspapers And Their Value To Historians, James O. Knauss
Florida Historical Quarterly
To write history one must have source material. This is a ridiculous truism, but is sometimes overlooked by would-be writers of history. A man cannot write history by reconstructing the past from his own imagination. Such a process produces fiction, not history. Probably the feature most unattractive to the majority of writers is the gathering of the source material from which history is to be written. This collecting of material often does not fire the imagination, and is considered, I am afraid, by many sheer drudgery. The work of the bibliographer does not appeal to those who desire instant popular …
