East Florida As A Loyalist Haven, Linda K. Williams
East Florida As A Loyalist Haven, Linda K. Williams
Florida Historical Quarterly
When the American Revolution broke out, East Florida, a British colony since 1763, supported the mother country and offered refuge to those in other American colonies who were loyal to the crown. East Florida became a loyalist haven when George III ordered Governor Patrick Tonyn to issue a proclamation in November 1775 inviting them to come to St. Augustine. Tonyn was also authorized “for the encouragement of such persons as may under these cruel Circumstances be induced to seek a happy Asylum in the Province, to make out for them gratuitous Grants of Land exempt from Quit Rents for Ten …

On November 4, 1836, Major General Thomas Sidney Jesup, recent quatermaster general of the army, was appointed supreme commander in Florida. His orders carried specific instructions to campaign along the Withlacoochee River, occupy the country between this river and Tampa Bay, and establish forts at strategic points in the interior that would ensure safety for the settlers and provide regular supplies for his command.

Florida Historical Quarterly
David Lang was born in Camden County, Georgia, in 1838, the oldest son among Robert and Margaret Lang’s seven children. Earlier his father had lived in Nassau County, Florida. After graduating from Georgia Military Academy in Marietta in 1857, Robert Lang returned to Florida with his family, settling near White Springs, where his son David became surveyor for Suwannee County.
Population Structure In Hispanic St. Augustine, 1629-1763, Theodore G. Corbett
Population Structure In Hispanic St. Augustine, 1629-1763, Theodore G. Corbett
Florida Historical Quarterly
Recent study of population in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century American and European communities is providing new insights into the nature of their social existence. Such studies depend not only upon the traditional census, but utilize a variety of sources, including parish registers, tax and tribute rolls, musters, and genealogical material.1 The use of these sources for the counting of individuals and the arrangement of aggregate figures into tables may seem to produce a rigidly scientific and arid form of history, but in reality these figures do much to explain the everyday life experience of a past community. There is no better …

"We Are Truly Doing Missionary Work": Letters From American Missionary Association Teachers In Florida, 1864-1874, Joe M. Richardson
Florida Historical Quarterly
The Civil War resulted in freedom for approximately 62,000 Florida slaves. Most of these were illiterate and poorly prepared for their new status. Slavery, with few exceptions, had provided no opportunity for formal learning, and education was essential for an adjustment from a condition of dependence to a life of independent responsibility. Fortunately, a majority of Florida freedmen were anxious to learn.

José Alejandro Huau: A Cuban Patriot In Jacksonville Politics, Gustavo J. Godoy
Florida Historical Quarterly
On Sunday afternoon, April 9, 1905, the long funeral procession of José Alejandro Huau moved at a slow pace to the Old City Cemetery in East Jacksonville, Florida. United States Senator James P. Taliaferro, the former Jacksonville mayor, Judge Morris A. Dzialynski, and a large entourage of dignitaries, honorary pall bearers, and other mourners rode in the flag-draped carriages. Many people came on foot. The procession included a large Masonic honor guard. A huge array of floral wreaths surrounded the burial site, as Jacksonville lamented the loss of one of its most esteemed citizens.
"Sporting Life On The Line": Prostitution In Progressive Era Pensacola, James R. Mcgovern
"Sporting Life On The Line": Prostitution In Progressive Era Pensacola, James R. Mcgovern
Florida Historical Quarterly
In our own time, when rapid changes in attitudes toward sexual morality are conversational coin, it is interesting to consider an experiment in the regulation of morals devised in Pensacola, Florida, in the early years of the twentieth century. As a port city, Pensacola responded historically to the sexual desires of large numbers of male transients by noteworthy permissiveness. The city displayed a similarly liberal attitude towards the consumption of alcoholic beverages.

J. F. B. Marshall: A New England Emigrant Aid Company Agent In Post-War Florida, 1867, Patricia P. Clark
Florida Historical Quarterly
Near the end of his tour of Florida as agent for the New England Emigrant Aid Company in early 1867, General James Fowle Baldwin Marshall, former resident of Honolulu and more recently paymaster general of Massachusetts troops, wrote to his wartime commander, Governor John Andrew: “I am tempted by the prospect of usefulness & success, as well as by my long tropical experience to join the ‘Yankee horde’ of reconstructionists, & become a Floridian.“ This “Yankee horde” was enticed to postwar Florida not only by the climate, already fabled throughout the North as beneficial for consumptives and others ailing with …
Flagler's Magnificent Hotel Ponce De Leon, Thomas Graham
Flagler's Magnificent Hotel Ponce De Leon, Thomas Graham
Florida Historical Quarterly
St. Augustine is unusual among most American cities in that it possesses a distinct local atmosphere and character. Largely this charm stems from its Spanish heritage— the narrow streets overarched with balconies, its moss-covered coquina rock walls, and its ancient historic monuments such as the Castillo de San Marcos. But many of the buildings and homes of the city reflect the spirit of a more recent age, that of Victorian America before the turn of the century, when St. Augustine was the winter home of affluent Northerners. The most prominent Victorian buildings are three magnificent structures surrounding a central plaza …

The New York Times Views Civil War Jacksonville, Richard A. Martin
The New York Times Views Civil War Jacksonville, Richard A. Martin
Florida Historical Quarterly
During the Civil War, military units North and South had their newspaper contingents in camp and field— war correspondents living out of saddlebags stuffed with pencils and notebooks, artists with sketch pads, and photographers working out of wagons jammed with the apparatus of their craft. Although southern newspapers were restricted by shortages of newsprint and men, northern journals prospered, publishing prolifically every shade of drama and every degree of tragedy the conflict offered. In fact, as Allan Nevins has observed, Civil War correspondents enjoyed such a virtual monopoly on the news “they were able to write with greater fullness and …

The Case Of Tom Tiger's Horse: An Early Foray Into Indian Rights, Harry A. Kersey, Jr.
The Case Of Tom Tiger's Horse: An Early Foray Into Indian Rights, Harry A. Kersey, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
At a time in our national history when the American Indian’s claim to social and political justice is being vigorously pursued, and dramatically portrayed through mass media coverage of incidents such as the occupation of Alcatraz, disruption at the Bureau of Indian Affairs in Washington, and a “Second Wounded Knee,” it might be well to consider in calmer retrospective one of those little known efforts to secure Indian rights which occurred in Florida at the turn of the century. The participants included an aggrieved Seminole headman of the Cow Creek band and his white friends who displayed an unusual zeal …

Vicente Pazos And The Amelia Island Affair, 1817, Charles H. Bowman, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
On May 9, 1817, seven distinguished patriots from Buenos Aires arrived at Savannah on board the English cutter Hero. The number included Vicente Pazos, editor of La Crónica Argentina. Their departure from the Río de la Plata had helped rid Supreme Director Juan Martín de Pueyrredón of his most virulent detractors. Born in the province of Larecaja in Upper Peru in 1779, Pazos was descended from the Aymará Indians who resided around Lake Titicaca. After attending the Royal and Pontifical University of San Antonio de Abad in Cuzco where he received his doctorate in sacred theology in 1804, Pazos taught …
Florida Seminoles: 1900-1920, James W. Covington
Florida Seminoles: 1900-1920, James W. Covington
Florida Historical Quarterly
The Florida Seminoles at the beginning of the twentieth century enjoyed a relatively good life. The more than 500 Indians were able to roam freely throughout a 20,000 square mile area situated in the lower part of the peninsula and lying mostly between the settled portions of the east and west coasts of Florida. Since the total population in this wilderness area including Indians, squatters, hunters, and trappers did not number more than 600 persons, there was room for all concerned. The Seminoles supported themselves by otter, plume, and alligator hunting, and they traded these feathers, hides, and skins for …

Foreigners In Florida: A Study Of Immigration Promotion, 1865-1910, George E. Pozzetta
Florida Historical Quarterly
For most of the long American period, Floridians have been deeply concerned with the problem of attracting people to the borders of their state. Though the motivations behind the various efforts to induce migration into the state have changed, ranging from early desires simply to populate uninhabited lands to more modern concerns of tourism and development, the spirit has been remarkably consistent. Indeed, it has only been within the last few years that the “heresy” of imposing legal limits on population growth has been listened to with any degree of toleration. In no other period of Florida’s past, however, have …
When A Minority Becomes The Majority: Blacks In Jacksonville Politics, 1887-1907, Edward N. Akin
When A Minority Becomes The Majority: Blacks In Jacksonville Politics, 1887-1907, Edward N. Akin
Florida Historical Quarterly
With the end of Reconstruction in 1876, the national Republican party abandoned the blacks of the South to state governments controlled by native southern whites. This traditional textbook interpretation of the plight of blacks in the Bourbon South rested on two implicit assumptions: the black was dependent on national Republicanism for protection; and, with the end of this protective system, blacks ceased to be a viable independent political element.1 When blacks did vote during the Bourbon era, they were pictured as sheep being led by conservative whites. An example of this voting behavior in an urban setting is recounted in …
Defeat In Victory: Yankee Experience In Early Civil War Jacksonville, Richard A. Martin
Defeat In Victory: Yankee Experience In Early Civil War Jacksonville, Richard A. Martin
Florida Historical Quarterly
It is something of an irony that Jacksonville, a sleepy town removed from the major centers of agitation prior to the Civil War, was affected so directly by the passions raging across the land. Jacksonville was settled by people from all parts of the country, many of whom earned a living catering to a cosmopolitan mix of travellers, including many from foreign lands. With a resident population about one-third southern, one-third northern, and one-third slave, Jacksonville was, in effect, a kind of national microcosm where the prevailing political controversies were acted out to their logical and disastrous ends.

Lillian Carisle West's professional name, L. C. West, graced the masthead of the weekly Panama City Pilot from 1917 to 1937. She also managed or edited two other local papers, the St. Andrews Bay News and Lynn Haven Free Press, during part of this period, and she operated the Gulf Coast Development Company and the Panama City Publishing Company. Thus, for almost two decades, Mrs. West successfully assumed a leadership position generally reserved only for the male sex by the society of her time.

East Florida In 1834: Letters Of Dr. John Durkee, W. Stanley Hoole
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the summer of 1833 Dr. John Durkee, for more than ten years a practicing physician in Meredith Bridge (now a part of Laconia), New Hampshire, traveled to East Florida for the benefit of his health.1 Settling in Jacksonville, a village of fewer than 250 people and about twenty houses and stores, he soon recuperated sufficiently to lead an active life.2 He rode horseback into the hinterland of Duval County, hunted, fished, and because of his scientific background interested himself primarily in such subjects as alligators, snakes, deer, birds, trees, cattle, soils, and Indian archeology. Meantime, he kept abreast of …
