A Topographical Memoir On East And West Florida With Itineraries (Concluded), Hugh Young
A Topographical Memoir On East And West Florida With Itineraries (Concluded), Hugh Young
Florida Historical Quarterly
This part of the report contains sketches of the routes of the Army from Hartford, Georgia to Fort Scott, and thence through east and west Florida to Fort Montgomery in the Alabama territory with hints for the construction and improvement of roads through the more difficult parts of the country. It was thought best to give the Itineraries the last. place in the report, as the particular description of the routes is made more intelligible and satisfactory by the general account of the country (p. 323) which preceded it.
The Schooner Emperor: An Incident Of The Illegal Slave Trade In Florida, Dorothy Dodd
The Schooner Emperor: An Incident Of The Illegal Slave Trade In Florida, Dorothy Dodd
Florida Historical Quarterly
The story of the African slave trade after its prohibition in 1808 is one which, because of the illicit nature of the trade, can never be fully known. In Florida, as in other Southern states, however, occasional hints of this subterranean traffic found their way into records which have been preserved. A record, fuller than most, found in the archives of the Florida Supreme Court as the case of the United States vs. the Schooner Emperor, may be taken as a fair illustration of the methods employed in the slave trade, when entered into upon a small scale, and of …

The Manufacture Of Cotton In Florida Before And During The Civil War, Dorothy Dodd
The Manufacture Of Cotton In Florida Before And During The Civil War, Dorothy Dodd
Florida Historical Quarterly
The fluctuating price of cotton in the 1840’s caused the cotton planters of Florida, like their brethren in other parts of the South, to consider ways in which they might stabilize the price of their staple crop in order to stave off economic ruin. 1 Numerous proposals were made to this end, 2 but none met with more widespread response throughout the South than that. of bringing the cotton mill to the cotton field by establishing cotton manufactories throughout the cotton producing regions.

Apalachee During The Brisih Occupation, R. E. Pittman
Apalachee During The Brisih Occupation, R. E. Pittman
Florida Historical Quarterly
According to Prof. F. H. Hodder, in the introduction to his reprint of Pittman’s work entitled “The Present State of the European Settlements on the Mississippi,” there are but few available biographical data pertaining to Pittman. Hodder there presents such information as he was able to collect. Apparently Pittman must have accompanied the first British detachment occupying Florida, he states that he “resided four years as an engineer in those parts” and it is known that he left towards the close of 1768. Apparently during 1767 he was occupied in making surveys in different parts of West Florida, as records …

Sir John Hawkins In Florida, Edgar Legare Pennington
Sir John Hawkins In Florida, Edgar Legare Pennington
Florida Historical Quarterly
The visit of Sir John Hawkins to the struggling and disheartened French colonists near the mouth of what is now the St. Johns River is one of the most interesting episodes of that age of gallantry and adventure. It illustrates extreme courtesy and generosity under circumstances when ruthlessness would have been expected ; thus we see why every school-boy instinctively admires the freebooting pirate. Besides, the consequences of that short stay were felt in a revitalized curiosity regarding the new world.
International Rivalry In The Creek Country Part I, The Ascendency Of Alexander Mcgillivray 1783-1789, Lawrence Kinnaird
International Rivalry In The Creek Country Part I, The Ascendency Of Alexander Mcgillivray 1783-1789, Lawrence Kinnaird
Florida Historical Quarterly
The Creek nation with its lands situated in regions claimed both by Spain and the United States occupied a strategic position at the close of the War of the American Revolution. Since no treaty existed between the two countries the question of boundaries was left entirely for future determination. The Spaniards desired to extend the limits of the Floridas as far northward as possible; while the Americans wished to establish the boundary near the Gulf as specified in the treaty with Great Britain.
The Archival Distribution Of Florida Manuscripts, James Alexander Robertson
The Archival Distribution Of Florida Manuscripts, James Alexander Robertson
Florida Historical Quarterly
This paper, read before the Conference of Historical Societies at the annual meeting of the American Historical Association, 1929, is the result of a search for archival material relating to Florida which extended over a number of years. That painstaking research has given Dr. Robertson a knowledge of the subject possessed by no one else and is assurance that this product of it is of great and unique value to all who may dig into the sources of early Florida history.
Slavery And White Servitude In East Florida, 1726-1776, Wilbur H. Siebert
Slavery And White Servitude In East Florida, 1726-1776, Wilbur H. Siebert
Florida Historical Quarterly
For a limited period and to a limited extent negro slavery existed in the Florida peninsula under the early Spanish regime. From at least as early as 1726 the Spaniards welcomed fugitive slaves from Georgia and South Carolina. So also did the lower Creek Indians, who treated them well, admitted them to their free life, and intermarried with them. For the next dozen years the fugitives were sold in St. Augustine, although their liberation was ordered by a royal decree of October 29, 1733. When claimants or their agents came from the neighboring colonies to recover their slaves, they got …

The Reverend James Seymour, S.P.G., Missionary In Florida, Edgar Legare Pennington
Florida Historical Quarterly
When the Floridas became English territory, in 1763, there was the characteristic effort to reproduce in the new province whatever the mother country deemed essential. In less than a year Anglican missionaries were on the ground; and we find a record of nine clergymen “licensed to the plantations by the Bishops of London from the year 1745 inclusive”.

John Quincy Adams And Florida, Frederick Cubberly
John Quincy Adams And Florida, Frederick Cubberly
Florida Historical Quarterly
It has been said that the defiant patriotism of John Quincy Adams secured to the United States possession of Florida. It settled, after years of controversy, the long standing differences between Spain and this country. The student of history who takes the trouble to search for details of the many transactions and negotiations that resulted in the Florida provinces coming under the American flag will find that the skillful diplomacy of Adams resulted in settling for all time the sovereignty of Spain on the North American Continent.

Realizing the importance of such a movement, the Florida Historical Society has approved this plan and has helped to make it a success.
The Growth Of Florida's Election Laws, James Owen Knauss
The Growth Of Florida's Election Laws, James Owen Knauss
Florida Historical Quarterly
One of the neglected phases of American history is the development of election laws in the different states. Several monographs have been written showing the evolution and progress of certain reforms, such as the introduction of the Australian ballot, in the country as a whole, but these are usually not explicit and often not reliable regarding the subject in individual states. Articles and monographs on elections in each state are needed. It is entirely true that to obtain an accurate view of this subject the final monograph must contain a survey of the record of development in all states, but …
The Nine Old Wooden Forts Of St. Augustine, Part Ii, Jeannette Thurber Conner
The Nine Old Wooden Forts Of St. Augustine, Part Ii, Jeannette Thurber Conner
Florida Historical Quarterly
After Drake burned the fort at St. Augustine in 1586, the settlers gave the name of San Marcos to the wooden building which took its place - Fort Number Seven. They had long wanted and asked for a fort of stone, and it would seem as if the discovery of coquina by Pedro Menendez Marques, in 1580, should have helped to bring about the realization of their wishes; but always, something came up to prevent it.

The Nine Old Wooden Forts Of St. Augustine, Jeannette Thurber Conner
The Nine Old Wooden Forts Of St. Augustine, Jeannette Thurber Conner
Florida Historical Quarterly
Florida is the fortunate possessor of one of this country’s most interesting monuments of the past - the impressive Spanish fort at St. Augustine. The sketch of its history which the docile traveller hears, as he and other amiable sightseers follow the guide like lambs, seems for the most part colorless, sensational and incomplete.
