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 …
The Flags Of The State Of Florida, Dorothy Dodd
The Flags Of The State Of Florida, Dorothy Dodd
Florida Historical Quarterly
The first flag of the State of Florida was flown for the first and, so far as is known, for the last time on June 25, 1845. The raising of the state and national banners, closing the ceremonies marking the inauguration of William D. Moseley as first governor of the State of Florida, on the east portico of the recently completed capitol, was accompanied by a twenty-eight-gun salute. The band then played "Yankee Doodle."

Luciano De Herrera, Spanish Spy In British St. Augustine, Katherine S. Lawson
Florida Historical Quarterly
When Governor Melchor Feliu closed the extensive and complicated operation of evacuating Spanish residents from St. Augustine on February 5, 1764, he reported that in order to provide for looking after certain properties of the king, and to dispose of many horses running in the woods, he had left seven soldiers and an interpreter there. One of these was a militiaman, Luciano de Herrera, whose family had long been resident in the colony.

Zephaniah Kingsley, Nonconformist (1765-1843), Philip S. May
Florida Historical Quarterly
After extensive travels and successful commercial operations in the British Isles, Africa, the West Indies, and North and South America, Zephaniah Kingsley, at the age of thirty-eight, brought to Florida in 1803 his unusual menage and here lived out the remaining forty years of an active, colorful life. During this period while Florida was first a Spanish colony and then a territory of the United States, he had a prominent part in its commercial and political affairs.
The Beginnings Of Printing In Florida, Douglas C. Mcmurtrie
The Beginnings Of Printing In Florida, Douglas C. Mcmurtrie
Florida Historical Quarterly
Printing came to Florida not as a result of natural expansion with a gradually increasing necessity for a press, nor for the purpose of Christianizing the Indians as was the case in some other areas; printing was introduced there as a result of war conditions outside the province. Florida had passed from Spanish to English hands in 1763 and had remained true to England throughout the Revolution, offering a haven for Tory refugees from the colonies to the north. In 1782 there was a great influx of loyalist Georgians, and later in the year, with the withdrawal of British troops …
The Tribulations Of Denys Rolle, Charles L. Mowat
The Tribulations Of Denys Rolle, Charles L. Mowat
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the brief and generally uneventful history of British East Florida greatest interest has, perhaps, attached to the two unusual experiments in colonization which were carried on in the province at New Smyrna and Rollestown. The history of both has been told by Carita Doggett Corse, 1 and to her work there is little to add. It is, however, possible to give some new light on the early difficulties which Denys Rolle met with in his attempts to establish his colony.
The Wrecking Business On The Florida Reef, 1822-1860, Dorothy Dodd
The Wrecking Business On The Florida Reef, 1822-1860, Dorothy Dodd
Florida Historical Quarterly
The Gulf of Mexico is a great inland sea with two outlets, the Canal de Yucatan between Yucatan and Cuba, and the Straits of Florida between Cuba and Florida. Because of the adverse winds and currents that prevail in the former for eight months of the year, and especially that part of the year when the great ante-bellum cotton crop was moved to market, sailing ships never attempted to make the outward passage through the Yucatan Pass. Consequently, the commerce of the western ports, of New Orleans and Galveston, Apalachicola and Mobile, passed through the Florida Straits. Likewise, shipping from …

Spanish Grants In British West Florida, N. Howard
Spanish Grants In British West Florida, N. Howard
Florida Historical Quarterly
One of the lesser but puzzling questions in British policy following the Seven Years’ War has always been why Lord Bute’s ministry gave up the strategic citadel of Havana in return for what the opponents of the treaty in England called the barren swamp of Florida. There are a number of reasonably logical explanations for the action, but thus far no certainty has emerged from the study of the maze of diplomatic correspondence which preceded the Treaty of Paris; and there still remains unproven the very important explanation that the action was more the result of internal politics in Britain …
The Enigma Of William Drayton, Charles L. Mowat
The Enigma Of William Drayton, Charles L. Mowat
Florida Historical Quarterly
The career of William Drayton, chief justice of British East Florida, presents a problem in motives and loyalties which cannot, perhaps, be completely resolved but which deserves study, not only for its intrinsic interest, but because it must have been shared by many other Americans during the testing years of the Revolution. Drayton was an erudite and stubborn jurist in a great age of the common law, the age not only of Blackstone and Lord Mansfield but of many distinguished figures of the colonial bench and bar whose leadership in the cause of the American Revolution has been well recognized. …

The Triangular Contest For Florida, Florida Historical Society
The Triangular Contest For Florida, Florida Historical Society
Florida Historical Quarterly
Florida’s colonial history is mainly that of an intermittent struggle for possession by the three great European nations-Spain, France, and Great Britain. Though efforts were made at colonization, none were really successful except the fair beginning of the English in East Florida; the beginning in the West was in those parts only nominally and temporarily Florida. The purpose of Spain’s two hundred years of sovereignty was to keep the others out, and that was the reason for St. Augustine and Pensacola-two oases in a wilderness.
Milly Francis And Duncan Mckrimmon, T. Frederick Davis
Milly Francis And Duncan Mckrimmon, T. Frederick Davis
Florida Historical Quarterly
Hillis Hadjo, known in English as Francis the Prophet, was a Creek chief of considerable prominence. When the famous Indian Tecumseh visited the Creek Indians during the opening phase of the War of 1812 to enlist them in the cause of the British, Francis became his convert. He was then living near the Chattahoochee river in the present state of Alabama. In the campaign of General Andrew Jackson in 1813-14 against the Creeks, Francis was driven into Spanish Florida and finally took up his abode near the Spanish Fort St. Marks.

Here is a man who was an English colonial by birth, a Spanish citizen by naturalization, and died an American citizen by virtue of the treaty through which the United States acquired the Floridas. All occurred in St. Augustine!-though some of his mature years were spent in Fernandina and in St. Marys, Georgia.

Names Of The St. Johns River, Herbert M. Corse
Names Of The St. Johns River, Herbert M. Corse
Florida Historical Quarterly
Four centuries of history are reflected in the changing names of the St. Johns river. From earliest times the leaping surf on the bar which marked the entrance was noticed by coastal explorers. The great volume of water coming from the river was obstructed by a shallow bar which caused a turbulent appearance and earned the river its first name, Rio de Corrientes (River of Currents). This name appears on the earliest known map of the De Soto expedition. Here the southern region and its coast from Cape Hatteras around Florida and beyond the Rio Grande is remarkably accurate in …
God’S Protecting Providence: A Journal Of Jonathan Dickinson, Charles M. Andrews
God’S Protecting Providence: A Journal Of Jonathan Dickinson, Charles M. Andrews
Florida Historical Quarterly
Toward the end of September, 1696, a group of shipwrecked people found themselves the captives of a petty tribe of Florida Indians in an Indian town, five miles south of the place of their disaster and about eighteen miles north of the present island of Palm Beach on the south side of a body of water now known as Jupiter Inlet. Nearby was one of the many oyster-shell mounds of the eastern coast of Florida, which is still there though much reduced in size. In this Indian town the members of the ship’s company remained for two days, not ill-treated …

Spanish Colonial Contacts With The Ais (Indian River) Country, Charles D. Higgs
Spanish Colonial Contacts With The Ais (Indian River) Country, Charles D. Higgs
Florida Historical Quarterly
The narratives of the early explorers and the Spanish archives of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries are replete with references concerning shipwrecks in the Bahama channel. This passage which gave to Florida its strategic importance, offered a course with more favoring winds and a safer route for the homeward-bound treasure fleets from Mexico, but was in itself distinctly hazardous. Ships and even whole fleets were too often wrecked all along the “Banda del Sur”, or South Coast, from St. Augustine to the lower keys. The majority of these disasters occurred along that bight of the shore, south of Cape Canaveral, …

Castle St. Mark And The Patriots Of The Revolution, Albert Manucy
Florida Historical Quarterly
CASTILLO DE SAN MARCOS is a token of Spain’s determination to protect her vast New World riches in the face of seemingly inexorable English rivalry, encroachment, and actual piracy. This aged citadel, renamed Fort Marion by the Americans, is now Castillo de San Marcos National Monument at St. Augustine. Engineer Ignacio Daza laid the first stone for the foundations in 1672, and the fort became a focal point of colonial culture - Spain’s last impregnable outpost on the shores of the North Atlantic. Now, with the passage of two and a half centuries, it represents to us something of the …
The Dream Act And Daca: A History Of Immigrant Children, Sofia Paschero
The Dream Act And Daca: A History Of Immigrant Children, Sofia Paschero
USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
This thesis writes the history of the Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM ACT) and the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). Chapter One gives a background history on immigration reforms in the 20th century. Chapter Two focuses on the history of the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM Act). Chapter Three is the immigrant children story. This chapter is an oral history. My main argument is immigrants have always been and still are, easy targets. Politicians create immigrants as scapegoats in order to avoid the social, political, cultural, and economic issues that are affecting people …

John Milton, Governor Of Florida, Daisy Parker
Florida Historical Quarterly
Research on the War for Southern Independence has reached a phase of investigation touching on the political, economic, and social activities of the leaders during and before its outbreak. This research has seldom brought, altogether favorable revelations of the conduct of many of the Confederates in their official capacity. Statesmen of the Lost Cause, by Burton J. Hendricks, the most recent work of this type, assuredly implies a question of the patriotic activity of many Southern political leaders. Specifically are the Confederate governors faced with the charge that they hindered the successful political and military operations of the Confederacy. An …

That “Odd Being” De Brahm, Charles L. Mowat
Florida Historical Quarterly
Among the many interesting and distinguished figures who in one way or another were connected with the small community of British East Florida during its brief history none is more intriguing than its first surveyor general, William Gerrard De Brahm. A man whose versatility of genius went beyond even that of the typical eighteenth-century dilettante: a surveyor, engineer, botanist, astronomer, meteorologist, student of ocean currents, alchemist, sociologist, historian and mystical philosopher; he was also something of an eccentric in character, whose peculiarities are heightened for us by the odd ways in which his imperfect knowledge of the English tongue expressed …
British And Spanish Fortifications Of Pensacola, 1781-1821, Stanley Faye
British And Spanish Fortifications Of Pensacola, 1781-1821, Stanley Faye
Florida Historical Quarterly
Late in the war for the independence of the United States, Spain joined France and this country in their contest with British power. The Spanish commandant of St. Louis sent a. company across the Illinois prairies to attack a British post beyond Lake Michigan; a larger force from New Orleans occupied the district of Baton Rouge and other western regions of British West Florida, and in March 1781 the governor of Spanish Louisiana came by land and sea and laid siege to British Pensacola.
