John Innerarity, 1783-1854, Marie Taylor Greenslade
John Innerarity, 1783-1854, Marie Taylor Greenslade
Florida Historical Quarterly
This biographical sketch has been prepared mainly from letters and other documents now in the possession of the author and Mrs. Heloise H. Cruzat, of New Orleans, both descendants of John Innerarity. Those papers are survivals of the records of Panton, Leslie & Co. and its successor, John Forbes & Co., which have been preserved by John Innerarity and his family. Selections from them will appear continuously in many issues of the QUARTERLY. As William Panton and his partners and successors were the foremost merchants and Indian traders of the entire Southern country, these records are of great value. Historical …

The Creek Nation, Debtor To John Forbes & Co., Successors To Panton, Leslie & Co., A Journal Of John Innerarity, John Innerarity
Florida Historical Quarterly
This journal is a record of a journey made by John Innerarity, a partner in the firm of John Forbes & Co., into the Creek Nation and of a talk with the chiefs of that nation assembled to make a settlement with him for debts of the nation to the company. The original manuscript is in the possession of Mrs. John W. Greenslade, of Washington, D. C., a great-granddaughter of the journalist, to whom grateful acknowledgment is made.

Bernard Romans’S Map Of Florida Engraved By Paul Revere, And Other Early Maps In The Library Of The Florida Historical Society, A. F. Harley

When we consider the materials, devices, tools, and instruments our forefathers used in their discoveries on the American continent and in mapping the newlyfound lands, we are left wondering how it all could have been accomplished.
United States Troops In Spanish East Florida, 1812-1813, T. Frederick Davis
United States Troops In Spanish East Florida, 1812-1813, T. Frederick Davis
Florida Historical Quarterly
Author’s Note. In November, 1927, Dr. Thomas B. Hall of Miami Beach, Florida, wrote me that the State Historical Society of Missouri was in possession of his great-grandfather’s papers written while in Florida. His great-grandfather was Lieut. Col. (afterward General) Thomas Adam Smith, who commanded the United States regulars in Florida in 1812-13. Through the courtesy of Arthur T. Williams, President of the Florida Historical Society, and Floyd C. Shoemaker, Secretary of the State Historical Society of Missouri, I obtained copies of the papers alluded to. They comprise the retained copies of letters written by Col. Smith, which were kept …
Florida’S Mysterious Personality, Alfred J. Hanna
Florida’S Mysterious Personality, Alfred J. Hanna
Florida Historical Quarterly
Seventeen years ago Florida entered the fifth century of her history under European influence. Her past four centuries have been full to overflowing with conquests and colonization schemes fairly reeking with romantic adventure, and constitute a period difficult to rival in the colonial history of any commonwealth. Many fortunes, beginning in 1513 with that of Ponce de Leon and to a much larger extent in 1539 with that of Hernando de Soto, and including the fabulous sums of the boom in 1925, have been lavished on its shores. Great aspirations, untold struggles, and heavy human sacrifice have written the annals …
Reverend John Forbes (D. 1783), Edgar Legare Pennington
Reverend John Forbes (D. 1783), Edgar Legare Pennington
Florida Historical Quarterly
John Forbes was probably, born in Scotland. He received his education at King’s College in old Aberdeen, where he passed through the ordinary course of Greek, mathematics, and philosophy, and attended lectures in divinity. The University of Aberdeen conferred on him the degree of Master of Arts in the spring of 1763; the principal and masters certifying at that time that he had “behaved with great Modesty & Discretion, was diligent in his Studies, & made very good Progress in the different Branches of Learning.” On the 16th of May, 1763, he was recommended to the bishops of the Church …
Thomas Campbell To Lord Deane Gordon: An Account Of The Creek Indian Nation, 1764, Thomas Campbell
Thomas Campbell To Lord Deane Gordon: An Account Of The Creek Indian Nation, 1764, Thomas Campbell
Florida Historical Quarterly
The original of this letter is preserved by Sir Arthur Grant of Monymusk, Scotland; to whom, and to Mr. George Cole Scott of the Virginia Historical Society, grateful acknowledgment is made for copies of this and other documents relating to British Florida. The rarity of extant letters of this period and territory adds to its already high value as source historical material.
Notes On The Life Of James Grant Prior And Subsequent To His Governorship Of East Florida, Philip C. Tucker
Notes On The Life Of James Grant Prior And Subsequent To His Governorship Of East Florida, Philip C. Tucker
Florida Historical Quarterly
To the general reader of Florida history, James Grant is but governor of British East Florida. Had the country remained English for a few more decades, it might well have been that those seven years held the most important service of his long public life; for during that time he laid, in a wilderness, the sound foundation of a typical British colony. But as that beginning came to naught; his governorship is only the midpoint of a military career which began in 1741 as an ensign and carried him to the rank of general in 1796.
Key West And Salvage In 1850, John C. Hoyt
Key West And Salvage In 1850, John C. Hoyt
Florida Historical Quarterly
From the beginning there was wide difference of opinion and sharp controversy in regard to wrecking, the principal occupation of the people of a town which for a time was the largest in Florida. The nature of the business (for it came to be an extensive and well-regulated business) and human nature rendered any agreement between owner and salvor difficult if not impossible; hence, after 1828, every case was automatically taken before the district court which was established at Key West in that year almost wholly for the adjudication of these admiralty cases, and owners and masters of the wrecking …
St. Francis Barracks, St. Augustine; The Franciscans In Florida, Charles H. Mohr O.S.B.
St. Francis Barracks, St. Augustine; The Franciscans In Florida, Charles H. Mohr O.S.B.
Florida Historical Quarterly
St. Francis Barracks, once the home of the sons of St. Francis, is perhaps the only religious edifice ever taken and used continuously by the United States for military purposes. This came about through the treaty made with Spain and not by an act of hostility against the Catholic Church. The Franciscans will probably never again take possession of their ancient home. Surely, though, some day-and may it be soon-there will be some place in Florida to which they will be called to renew the work so successfully and efficiently performed by their saintly and courageous predecessors.
Documents Relating To El Destino And Chemonie Plantations, Middle Florida, 1828-1868. Part I, Kathryn A. Abbey
Documents Relating To El Destino And Chemonie Plantations, Middle Florida, 1828-1868. Part I, Kathryn A. Abbey
Florida Historical Quarterly
This series of plantation documents will be continued through several numbers of the QUARTERLY. Taken singly, some of these may seem to be of slight interest and of no value to the recording of Florida’s history; but they have been selected to give a view of plantation life and conditions and practice from as many different directions as possible, and it is believed that together they picture at least an outline of what a typical Middle Florida plantation was before the War. Portions of the journals of the overseers, their letters to the owner, and extracts literatim from the other …

Florida Historical Quarterly
This essay was awarded a first prize in the Irving Bacheller-Florida Historical Society contest for Florida high-school students, held at Rollins College under the direction of Alfred J. Hanna, February twenty-first last. Mr. Curry, its author, is a student in Orlando High School. The other prize-winners and the subjects of their essays were: Ruthjeanne Bellamy, also of Orlando High School, who wrote on Pirates of the Florida Coast; Nellie Kennedy, of Hernando High School, Brooksville, who wrote on the same subject; and Chester R. Yates, of Plant City High School, on Territorial and Early Statehood of Florida.
Samuel Pasco (1834-1917), Samuel Pasco
Samuel Pasco (1834-1917), Samuel Pasco
Florida Historical Quarterly
The accompanying history of Jefferson County, Florida, was prepared by Senator Pasco at the time of the dedication of the court house at Monticello in 1910, and was in part used by him in an address on that occasion. As first written the history of this region was traced from the earliest times to 1910; but because much relating to the period prior to the establishment of the county in 1827 has appeared in other articles in the QUARTERLY the narrative will begin with that year. The entire manuscript has been given to and may be seen in the collections …

This account of Denys Rolle and his attempt at colonization in Florida is based on forty-three contemporaneous documents preserved in the Public Record Office, London,- letters and reports of Governors Grant and Tonyn to the Lords of Trade and Plantations,. to the Earl of Shelburne and to Lord Hillsborough; memorials of Rolle, and his letters to the governor and the secretaries; Acts of the Privy Council; private letters; etc. Copies of these papers were secured from London by Mrs. Corse and given to the library of the Florida Historical Society where they may be seen; hence it is considered unnecessary …

An Early Poem On Florida
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the Bodleian Library at Oxford, there is to be found in Ashmolean Manuscript 48, ff. 140b, 141, a poem on Florida. The penmanship suggests the early part of the seventeenth century; certain stanzas are of prior origin.
Macgregor’S Invasion Of Florida, T. Frederick Davis
Macgregor’S Invasion Of Florida, T. Frederick Davis
Florida Historical Quarterly
Gregor MacGregor was the grandson of Gregor MacGregor, the Scotchman, who enlisted in the Black Watch, then Semphill’s Highlanders, and was called in Gaelic “Gregor, the Beautiful.” When the regiment was first ordered to England, in 1743, “Gregor, the Beautiful” and two others were sent on in advance to London, so that the king of England, who was on the point of starting for the continent, might see some soldiers of the regiment before leaving. One of the men died en route, but MacGregor and the other were paraded before the king at St. James’s and gave an exhibition of …
Fort George (St. Michael), Pensacola, Frederick Cubberly
Fort George (St. Michael), Pensacola, Frederick Cubberly
Florida Historical Quarterly
On viewing Pensacola for the first time one is at once impressed with the gradual rise of Palafox Street from the waters of the bay northward to the top of an eminence where tall shaft has been erected in memory of the soldiers of the Confederacy. To the southwest of this monument there are still traces of a fort where grim-visaged war was waged more than a century ago. Flags of three nations have waved from the fortification built on this commanding position, and the results of battles fought here have reached to distant lands and had weight in the …

Florida Place-Names Of Indian Origin, Frank Drew
Florida Historical Quarterly
The first portion of this article, all that relates to the Indian Netahyaonka, has been taken by the Editor from a letter of Mr. Drew’s. This narrative of that survivor of the ancient Miccosukees gives additional interest to the author’s former notes on Florida Indian names (published here in the issues of April, 1926, and July, 1927) and to those which will appear in coming numbers of the Quarterly.

Jesuit Martyrs In Florida, Samuel H. Ray S.J.
Florida Historical Quarterly
Sanson d’Abbeville, the Royal Geographer of France, tells us that Florida of the latter part of the sixteenth century could be considered a part of New France, since the French were the first to establish a colony there with the consent of the inhabitants of the country.

The Ruins Of Fort San Luis Near Tallahassee, Venila Lovina Shores
The Ruins Of Fort San Luis Near Tallahassee, Venila Lovina Shores
Florida Historical Quarterly
In western Florida there are many places of historic interest whose physical remains have been obliterated by the action of the elements, and the memory of man may have long since ceased to know them. Now and then the student searching historical material finds bits of information left by the pens of long ago concerning them. Here are some of these fragments relating to Fort San Luis.

Notes On The Origin Of The Seminole Indians Of Florida, Frank Drew
Notes On The Origin Of The Seminole Indians Of Florida, Frank Drew
Florida Historical Quarterly
The settlement of the Seminole Indians in Florida has been entirely within the historical period. They were renegade Creeks (Muskokis) from Georgia, who invaded Florida following the raids made by the English under Governor Moore, of South Carolina, beginning in 1702. Moore drove the Timuquanas who inhabited the northern part of Florida (extending far southward) to the protection of the forts at St. Augustine.
School Leaders Supporting Students Of Color In Predominately-White Schools, Jonathan Swan
School Leaders Supporting Students Of Color In Predominately-White Schools, Jonathan Swan
Educational Studies Dissertations
Legal challenges to racial segregation and changes in the racial composition of many suburbs have altered the racial makeup of public schools in the United States. This phenomenological study looked at how principals in Predominately-White schools (PWS) and educator facilitators for a state desegregation program (DP) learn about the perceptions of students of color (SOC) in their schools, address negative perceptions of SOC, and attempt to support SOC; it also inquired about hindrances to their efforts to serve SOC more effectively. Thematic analysis of transcripts of interviews with five principals and four desegregation facilitators led to 10 findings. Critical Race …
