Moses Elias Levy, An Early Florida Pioneer And The Father Of Florida’S First Senator, Leon Hunter
Florida Historical Quarterly
Never before has there been an instance of the formation of a great nation like our own, in which so many different races and nationalities have taken part. The sturdy English, the thrifty Scotch, the buoyant Irish, the Spaniards, Germans, French, Italians, Dutch, Scandinavians and others are all represented in our country’s fabric, irrespective of their religious tenets or affiliations. And so it is not surprising to find that Jews were also among these pioneers. Though but few in number, they appear in every one of the original thirteen colonies throughout the colonial and revolutionary periods, and also later on …

After the initial difficulties which accompany any new settlement were over, Pensacola developed during the late 1760’s and early 1770’s much as did the other eighteenth century English colonial capitals in North America.
Spanish Contributions In Florida To American Culture, Verne E. Chatelain
Spanish Contributions In Florida To American Culture, Verne E. Chatelain
Florida Historical Quarterly
Among the numerous steps taken by Spain during the sixteenth century in its efforts to establish dominion over the New World, none are deserving of greater attention from the standpoint of our own national history than the founding of St. Augustine in the year 1565. The fact that this little settlement which was only one of approximately 200 Spanish towns and cities then existing in the Indies, remained a Spanish colony for nearly two centuries and was always an indispensable factor in the defensive strategy employed by Spain for safe-guarding its commerce as well as in perpetuating its control over …

Florida Historical Material In Niles’ Register, T. Frederick Davis
Florida Historical Material In Niles’ Register, T. Frederick Davis
Florida Historical Quarterly
Any descriptive writing of general character by an intelligent observer a century or more ago is almost certain to contain valuable information for the historian; and this is especially true for Florida. The following account presents a view of East Florida in 1817, four years before the United States officially occupied it through cession by Spain.
The Departure Of The Spaniards And Other Groups From East Florida, 1763, Wilbur H. Siebert
The Departure Of The Spaniards And Other Groups From East Florida, 1763, Wilbur H. Siebert
Florida Historical Quarterly
The departure of the Spaniards, their dependents, and other inhabitants from East Florida when the British took over the two Floridas in 1763 began on April 12 when three schooners sailed from St. Augustine for Havana. Sixteen vessels left in August, two or more of them for Apalachee, including an English packet boat and the English sloop Hawk, one sloop left in September, a French sloop and six other vessels in October, two in November, including a French sloop, an English brigantine, an English sloop, and four other vessels in December. With one sloop on January 8, 1764 and eight …

Colonial Pensacola: The British Period. Part I, Clinton N. Howard
Florida Historical Quarterly
Pensacola came to Great Britain as a part of the cessions of Spain at the close of the Seven Years war. The treaty of Paris which closed that war and incorporated the cession of Pensacola and all of Florida in its provisions was a turning point in the history of the British empire and of North America. The counterpart of the cession of Florida to Britain and the return of Havana to Spain was the cession of eastern Louisiana by France to Britain; and the relative value of the interior of the North American continent as compared with the Caribbean, …

The Tekesta Indians Of Southern Florida, John Mann Groggin
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 …
A Prelude To The Creek War Of 1813-1814, John Innerarity To James Innerarity, Elizabeth Howard West
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- …

The First Protestant Service In North America, T. Frederick Davis
Florida Historical Quarterly
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 …
The Timucua Indians Of Sixteenth Century Florida, W. W. Ehrmann
The Timucua Indians Of Sixteenth Century Florida, W. W. Ehrmann
Florida Historical Quarterly
When first visited by the Spanish explorers in the early sixteenth century, northern Florida was inhabited by the Timucua family of Indians. Their territory was bounded approximately on the west by the Aucilla River, on the north by a line running just north of the present Georgia-Florida state line from the Aucilla River on the west to Cumberland Island on the east, and on the south by a line extending from Tampa Bay to Cape Canaveral.

The East Coast In 1870, Florida Historical Society
The East Coast In 1870, Florida Historical Society
Florida Historical Quarterly
At the close of the Civil War, there were but two counties on the East Coast south of Cape Canaveral, Brevard and Dade. Dade had been established in 1886, but it was still virtually uninhabited wilderness in 1870, extending from the present southern boundary of St. Lucie County to the keys. The following narrative and statistical extracts are taken from The Florida Gazetteer, compiled and published by J. M. Hawkes, M. D. (New Orleans, 1871, 214 p.) Few copies were printed and the volume has now become rare.

The St. Augustine Census Of 1786, Joseph B. Lockey
The St. Augustine Census Of 1786, Joseph B. Lockey
Florida Historical Quarterly
St. Augustine was the chief center of population in colonial Florida. It was not however at any time a town of considerable size. Indeed, the whole white population of East and West Florida in the first Spanish period never exceeded a few thousand at most. The explanation is simple. There were greater attractions elsewhere. Unlike Mexico and the other mainland regions to the south, Florida had no mines to be exploited, no extensive fields already prepared for cultivation, and no Indian serfs to do the white man’s bidding. Nor did it possess the conditions of soil and climate which made …

Governor Johnstone In West Florida, C. N. Howard
Florida Historical Quarterly
The first letters and reports of Major Farmar upon the new province, West Florida, and the conduct of the military administration were received in the early spring by the secretary at war and, in due course, were forwarded to the new governor, George Johnstone, at his London house in Half- Moon street. The papers came from the secretary at war to the office of the secretary of state for the southern department. After inspection, they were returned to the secretary at war.

The story of the mission settlements established by the Franciscan fathers in northern Florida subsequent to 1633 still awaits telling. It cannot be adequately told until the Spanish archives are carefully searched.
