From Pensacola To St. Augustine In 1827: A Journey Of The Rt. Rev. Michael Portier, Michael Portier
From Pensacola To St. Augustine In 1827: A Journey Of The Rt. Rev. Michael Portier, Michael Portier
Florida Historical Quarterly
Michel Portier was born in Montbrison, France, in 1795. Entering the priesthood, he came to the United States in 1817, and in 1826 was made first Vicar Apostolic of the newly created vicariate of Alabama and the Floridas, in which there were but three parishes: Mobile, Pensacola and St. Augustine. It was Bishop Portier who in 1830 established Spring Hill College at Mobile, the influence of which on education in the South has been felt for more than a century. This account of his journey across Florida was written in French and published in Annales de la Propagation de la …
Florida In North Carolina Spanish Records, Part Ii, Albert C. Manucy
Florida In North Carolina Spanish Records, Part Ii, Albert C. Manucy
Florida Historical Quarterly
The North Carolina papers show intimately the operation of Spanish colonial government. Even more intimately, perhaps, they reveal its shortcomings through the media of complaints from one side or the other, residencias of the various regimes, and innumerable autos, memorials and testimonios. Complaints were to be expected, since politics and personalities were involved. Occasionally, however, there were bona fide instances of maladministration or criminal carelessness, such as the well-known cases of Rebolledo in 1657 and Sanchez in 1736.
The Everglades Before Reclamation, J. E. Dovell
The Everglades Before Reclamation, J. E. Dovell
Florida Historical Quarterly
This account of the Everglades and their early history is one result of the author’s extensive research into all available sources. The full story of the Everglades including reclamation is the subject of an unpublished dissertation by the author which was accepted as partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of North Carolina.
Florida History (1650-1750) In The Spanish Records Of North Carolina State Department Of Archives And History, Albert C. Manucy
Florida History (1650-1750) In The Spanish Records Of North Carolina State Department Of Archives And History, Albert C. Manucy
Florida Historical Quarterly
When the pirate’s bullet lodged in Captain Arguelles’ leg one fine spring day (March 30, 1683), that painful detail was faithfully written down-not once, but several times and in several different ways. Consequently, although the brave captain was wounded almost three centuries ago, today’s historian can be certain the accident was not hearsay: it actually happened. He knows exactly where it took place, and when; and further, he has a good idea of how the whole affair came about.

Captain Bunce’S Tampa Bay Fisheries, Dorothy Dodd
Captain Bunce’S Tampa Bay Fisheries, Dorothy Dodd
Florida Historical Quarterly
The known facts about William Bunce can be stated briefly. He was a sea captain from Baltimore, who engaged in the mercantile business at Key West from August, 1824, until 1829. In 1832 he was listed as a customs inspector in the Key West District. 3 In the same year he commanded the small sloop Associate, out of Key West, in which George W. Murray, W. R. Hackley, and P. B. Prior visited Carlos bay and Charlotte Harbor to locate a site for a settlement on the Allagon Grant. Bunce’s activities on the coast of southwest Florida naturally made him …

Stephen Russell Mallory, Occie Clubbs
Florida Historical Quarterly
Perhaps Charles Mallory, as he worked at his carpenter’s bench somewhere in New England, dreamed that some day he might have a son to work beside him or to follow him at the same bench; and later, now a building superintendent and contractor in the island of Trinidad off the coast of South America, he may have dreamed again that the little Stephen playing about his shop or office, might become a great man. But if so, the reality far surpassed his dreams-for the boy became a member of the foremost legislative body of the world, and later was one …
Theatrical Entertainment In Early Florida, William G. Dodd
Theatrical Entertainment In Early Florida, William G. Dodd
Florida Historical Quarterly
Theatrical entertainment in early Florida was greatly facilitated by water transportation. The Florida towns with which this story is concerned were all within easy distance, by sea or river, of cities which had well-established professional theatres. They therefore provided actors in those theatres with favorable opportunities to supplement their regular season by a preceding or subsequent engagement; or, sometimes, to fill up part of an otherwise vacant summer.

The Port Of St. Augustine During The British Regime, Part Ii, Wilbur H. Siebert
The Port Of St. Augustine During The British Regime, Part Ii, Wilbur H. Siebert
Florida Historical Quarterly
Loyal to King George III, East Florida soon became involved with her rebellious neighbors to the northward. Wartime was reflected in the shipping at St. Augustine and the privateering in nearby waters. The first hostility of that neighborhood was the seizure of one hundred and eleven barrels and thirty-seven kegs of gunpowder from the English brigantine Betsy in July 1775 by a South Carolina sloop outside the bar. The aggressor escaped to the northward.
Notes On The “Catalogo De Los Fondos De Las Floridas", Albert C. Manucy
Notes On The “Catalogo De Los Fondos De Las Floridas", Albert C. Manucy
Florida Historical Quarterly
The reference is to the great Mississippi, and on this keynote is sounded the broad theme of Catalogo de los Fondos de las Floridas, which, in free translation might be titled “Catalog of the Florida Papers.” Published in format similar to the well-known Carnegie archival guides, the book is an illuminating index to an interesting period in the history of the area between Savannah and New Orleans, from the Florida Keys to the lower Mississippi Valley.
The Negro Abraham, Kenneth W. Porter
The Negro Abraham, Kenneth W. Porter
Florida Historical Quarterly
One of the most remarkable personalities produced by the African race in this country before general emancipation was an illiterate runaway slave who spent almost all his mature life among Seminole Indians. This judgment is, perhaps, either too cautious to be meaningful or too bold to be convincing, according to the direction from which one chooses to approach it.
The Contest For Pensacola Bay And Other Gulf Ports, 1698-1722. Part Ii, Stanley Faye
The Contest For Pensacola Bay And Other Gulf Ports, 1698-1722. Part Ii, Stanley Faye
Florida Historical Quarterly
The brothers Lemoyne began Louisiana’s war against Mexico, as told in part one of this narrative. Francois Blondel de la Tour continued it. One month after the fall of San Carlos (at Pensacola bay) the commandant of Natchitoches led the six men remaining in his garrison against San Miguel de Adaes, the nearest Spanish mission of Texas. He captured one of the two Spanish soldiers. who formed the garrison there, but neither Blondel nor Governor Alarcon at Mission Dolores (near Nacogdoches, Texas) possessed military strength for further operations. Natchitoches waited in stalemate until the Company of the Indies should open …
The Port Of St. Augustine During The British Regime, Wilbur H. Siebert
The Port Of St. Augustine During The British Regime, Wilbur H. Siebert
Florida Historical Quarterly
A little more than six miles of Anastasia island, eastward of St. Augustine, is shown on the old map by De Brahm, one-time surveyor-general for the Southern District of British America. The channel is depicted and, less than a mile east of the fortress or “castle,” the bar. The Look-out Tower stands two thirds of the island’s width at that point from its inner side, a little more than a fifth of a mile from its outer side, and half a mile from the shore directly north. De Brahm’s survey was made in 1765 and 1766. On a much earlier …
Resources For The History Of The British Floridas, Florida Historical Society
Resources For The History Of The British Floridas, Florida Historical Society
Florida Historical Quarterly
As is well known, the history of Florida falls naturally and very definitely into periods of nationalities. Of these the British era is the most sharply defined. And this is the only period whose history has largely been written-which means that, except for the details of the general history and for certain subjects, the materials available have mostly been used. For this British occupation these resources are mainly governmental archives in the Public Record Office in London. That mass of documents has been used by writers on specific subjects, but for general coverage there are two works: Professor Mowat’s on …
The Seminole Negroes Of Andros Island, Bahamas, John M. Goggin
The Seminole Negroes Of Andros Island, Bahamas, John M. Goggin
Florida Historical Quarterly
In a recent article in this journal, Kenneth W. Porter has raised the question of the identity of the Indian negroes of Andros Island in the Bahamas. As the result of investigations on Andros Island in the summer of 1937, it is possible to clarify the problem, and positively to identify the legendary Indians of Andros Island as Seminole Negroes. A more detailed historical investigation of the problem had been contemplated, but present conditions make it impossible to complete the research as originally outlined.

The Contest For Pensacola Bay And Other Gulf Ports, 1698-1722, Part I, Stanley Faye
Florida Historical Quarterly
John Law’s Mississippi Bubble of speculation began to inflate itself on September 26, 1717, when Law’s Company of the West made ready to colonize Louisiana. Yet Law in Paris already knew that a sandbar had blocked up the one seaport of Louisiana that he thought suitable for receiving his transatlantic vessels. Five years later the bubble persisted only in memory, the bubble-maker lingered in exile and necessity persuaded light-draft French shipping to enter the Mississippi river. In the course of those five years the Company of the West had searched unavailingly for another deep, suitable and almost necessary port, and …

A Diary Of Joshua Nichols Glenn, St. Augustine In 1823, Joshua Nichols Glenn
Florida Historical Quarterly
When Florida became a part of the United States, Methodists in nearby Georgia and South Carolina looked upon East Florida as their missionary field, and at the annual session of the South Carolina Conference of 1823 which met at Savannah, Joshua Nichols Glenn was chosen and sent to establish a mission at St. Augustine.
The Florida Banditti, 1783, Joseph B. Lockey
The Florida Banditti, 1783, Joseph B. Lockey
Florida Historical Quarterly
East Florida was ill at ease on receiving, in the spring of 1783, news of the retrocession of the province to Spain. The necessity of abandoning homes in a land to which government and people alike were attached, together with the uncertainties, vexations, and difficulties of finding new homes elsewhere presented to all a dark picture of the future. In the midst of these apprehensions some of the settlers at least were troubled by the depredations of a group of lawless men whom Governor Patrick Tonyn described as banditti.

Florida In 1845, Dorothy Dodd
Florida Historical Quarterly
When the government of the State of Florida was organized in June 1845, the state contained a population of some 66,500. Although Florida has a total area of 58,560 square miles, 2 47 percent of the population was concentrated in the 7,333 square miles (only 12.5 percent of the state total) lying between the Apalachicola and Suwannee rivers, then known as Middle Florida. The remaining 53 percent was distributed fairly evenly between West and East Florida, 25 percent being in the former and 28 percent in the latter. But since West Florida -between the Perdido and Apalachicola rivershas an area …

The Bulow Plantation, 1821-1835, Ruth Danenhower Wilson
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the dense jungle growth of a hammock ten miles north of Ormond, are bare arches of coquina and great rectangular chimneys of another age towering above the live oaks and palmettos-all surrounded by the desolation of more than a century. This is what is left of Bulow Ville, one of the largest of the sixteen plantations, each working more than one hundred slaves, which were destroyed by the Indians early in 1835 in the section south and west of St. Augustine.

History And Archeology In Florida, John W. Griffin
History And Archeology In Florida, John W. Griffin
Florida Historical Quarterly
There was a time when archaeology was conceived of as the collection of relics and history was thought of as the study of names and dates. The two disciplines seemed far apart. Yet history and archaeology are very closely related. Both are concerned with “history” in the broader sense. Both study and seek to interpret unique events placed in time and space. The major difference lies in the techniques used. History gains most of its information through written documents, archaeology for the most part deals with times and groups which have no written records of their own, and is forced …
