The First Protestant Service In North America, T. Frederick Davis
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.

Why Two Connecticut Yankees Went South, Samuel H. Fisher
Florida Historical Quarterly
General Edmund Kirby Smith was an outstanding figure in the War between the States, particularly in its closing years when he was in command of the Trans-Mississippi Department. He was Florida-born and his native State was proud to place his statue in the Capitol at Washington.
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
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.
Spanish Mission Sites In Florida, Mark F. Boyd

Florida Historical Quarterly
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.
Colonial Land Claims In East And West Florida, Florida Historical Society
Colonial Land Claims In East And West Florida, Florida Historical Society
Florida Historical Quarterly
The Florida Historical Records Survey (Works Progress Administration) is engaged in translating, abstracting, and indexing the manuscripts relative to land claims in East and West Florida in the Field Note Division of the Department of Agriculture at Tallahassee. These manuscripts constitute the archives of the Boards of Commissioners for the settlement of claims based on English and Spanish land grants in the Floridas, which Boards sat at Pensacola from 1822 to 1825 and at St. Augustine from 1823 to 1826. Although certain portions of this material, chiefly of a legal nature, are summarized and published in American State Papers, Public …

Debrahm’S Report On East Florida, 1773, Carita Doggett Corse
Debrahm’S Report On East Florida, 1773, Carita Doggett Corse
Florida Historical Quarterly
The most detailed of the early reports on the Florida peninsula is that of John Gerard William DeBrahm, Surveyor General of the southern district of North America for George III of England. His observations on Florida are contained in a work entitled “History of the Three Provinces, South Carolina, Georgia and East Florida,” in manuscript in the British Museum, with a copy in Harvard University Library. The South Carolina and Georgia sections of this report have been printed but the Florida material is still only in manuscript. A great benefit would be conferred upon students of Colonial Florida if this …
The Military Occupation Of British West Florida, 1763, C. N. Howard
The Military Occupation Of British West Florida, 1763, C. N. Howard
Florida Historical Quarterly
The military occupation by the British troops of the former French and Spanish forts on the Gulf coast to the east of New Orleans was a movement of continental as well as of local importance. The twentieth article of the Treaty of Paris, 1763, had ceded to His Britannic Majesty all of the French territory to the east of the Mississippi river, except the port of New Orleans and the delta, and all of the Spanish territory of Florida, which extended westward to the Perdido river.

The Arrival Of De Soto’S Expedition In Florida, Mark F. Boyd

The Landing Place Of De Soto, John R. Swanton
The Landing Place Of De Soto, John R. Swanton
Florida Historical Quarterly
It admits of no reasonable doubt that the place where Hernando de Soto’s army landed, at the end of May, 1539, was in Tampa Bay. Although I have considered other possibilities carefully I shall not enter upon a discussion of them in the present article. But while there has been almost unanimous agreement on this point, the exact location of the landing place within the bay has given occasion for very sharp differences of opinion for over a hundred years and almost every possible site has been made the basis for someone’s theory. Too many of these hypotheses have been …

Events At Prospect Bluff On The Apalachicola River, 1808-1818, Mark F. Boyd
Events At Prospect Bluff On The Apalachicola River, 1808-1818, Mark F. Boyd
Florida Historical Quarterly
One of the most important branches of commerce during the American colonial period was the Indian trade. Search of opportunities for barter was a powerful motive in French and British exploration, and the trader was the principal Caucasian emissary with whom the primitive Indian came in contact. After the settlement of South Carolina, Charleston became an important center of the southern trade, a position later shared with Savannah. From these points English traders penetrated to the country of the Cherokees and Creeks and later to that of the Choctaws and Chickasaws, where they successfully competed with the French and Spanish. …
Expedition Of Marcos Delgado, 1686, Mark F. Boyd
Expedition Of Marcos Delgado, 1686, Mark F. Boyd
Florida Historical Quarterly
By the time the Franciscan fathers began their conversion of the Indians in Apalache in 1633, Spain as a world power had long been in decline. Other European governments recognized the growing impotency, and several, including England and France, had begun to seize territory within the limits claimed by Spain across the Atlantic. After the early aggressions in the West Indies, the Spanish authorities in dread of further encroachments that might seriously threaten the security of their hold on New Spain, became, concerned over the extension of French interests in the interior of the continent and were alarmed when news …
“Natural Ties For Patriotic Purposes": The Committee On Public Information, Americanization, And Swedish-American Transnationalism, Race L. Fisher
“Natural Ties For Patriotic Purposes": The Committee On Public Information, Americanization, And Swedish-American Transnationalism, Race L. Fisher
Theses and Dissertations
The Committee on Public Information (CPI) was the official propaganda agency of the United States during the First World War, seeking to homogenize American public opinion and spread American ideals across the globe. Through a case study of Edwin Björkman’s work among Swedish Americans, this thesis illuminates how the CPI approached its work among immigrants, engaging questions of Americanization and transnationalism. Through an analysis of the John Ericsson League of Patriotic Service and the Scandinavian Bureau—both its domestic and foreign operations—this thesis argues that Edwin Björkman and the CPI promoted cultural pluralism rather than assimilation to a dominant Anglo-American culture. …
A Historical Analysis Of The Causes Of The French And Indian War, Jake Althouse
A Historical Analysis Of The Causes Of The French And Indian War, Jake Althouse
Honors Program: Senior Projects (Public)
The current study attempted to answer the following research question: what were the causes of the French and Indian War between Great Britain and France in 1754? To do so, the current study researched secondary sources from a historical perspective, political theories regarding the causes of war, and primary sources from individuals involved in the build-up to conflict. Previous research by historians and political scientists have mainly attributed the causes of the French and Indian War to a security dilemma and the spiral theory of war. The current study does not support this assertion. Instead, the current study asserts that …

This event was one of the most important incidents in the commercial warfare waged by the merchants of New Providence against the house of Panton.
Some Church History Of St. Augustine During The Spanish Regime, Wilbur H. Siebert
Some Church History Of St. Augustine During The Spanish Regime, Wilbur H. Siebert
Florida Historical Quarterly
When the Spaniards evacuated St. Augustine in 1763 and 1764 they took with them to Havana all the altars, images, vestments, canopies, cushions, bells, and even the wax tapers of their churches, religious brotherhoods, and the Franciscan convent. All this sacred paraphernalia was in charge of the warden of the parish church, Simon de Hita, and was transported to its destination in the schooner Our Lady of Light, which cast anchor in the harbor of Havana about February 1, 1764

Smith, commander of the detachment of United States regulars that invaded Spanish East Florida in March, 1812, began in the July, 1930, issue of the QUARTERLY. This should be consulted for an explanation as to why the American troops invaded the Spanish province, and also for the details concerning the discovery of these important Florida records.
