Florida, Promoter Of Cuban Liberty, Ruby Leach Carson
Florida, Promoter Of Cuban Liberty, Ruby Leach Carson
Florida Historical Quarterly
Florida’s geographical peculiarities have resulted always in giving her a colorful history, and at no time has this been more evident than during the Cuban War of Independence, previous to American intervention. This period, from 1895 to 1898, has provided inspiration for many books and articles about the Cuban Juntas formed in the United States and about their filibustering enterprises. Because Florida’s ragged outline forms an arm which Uncle Sam extends into the affairs of Spanish America, it was inevitable that Cuban insurrectionists should lean heavily upon this arm after they declared their independence from Spain. An effort to assemble …
Hiram F. Hammon, Homesteader Of Palm Beach, Marian R. Trumbull
Hiram F. Hammon, Homesteader Of Palm Beach, Marian R. Trumbull
Florida Historical Quarterly
Among the early settlers who helped to transform a stretch of Florida wilderness into a modern city was Hiram F. Hammon, first homesteader of what is now Palm Beach; and this account of him and what he did has been gathered from family recollections, intimate papers of the Hammon and Lanehart families, and several authoritative publications.
The Yellow Fever Epidemic Of 1888 In Jacksonville, Margaret C. Fairlie
The Yellow Fever Epidemic Of 1888 In Jacksonville, Margaret C. Fairlie
Florida Historical Quarterly
The first of the four thousand six hundred fifty-six cases of yellow fever recorded in Jacksonville in the summer and fall of 1888 was that of R. D. McCormick who had lately come from Tampa and who was reported ill on July 28. Though this caused some alarm, the assurance of the Board of Health that it was a sporadic case seemed to calm all fears.

A Prelude To The Creek War Of 1813-1814, John Innerarity To James Innerarity, Elizabeth Howard West
A Prelude To The Creek War Of 1813-1814, John Innerarity To James Innerarity, Elizabeth Howard West
Florida Historical Quarterly
This letter is of unusual historical significance, for it describes the visit of McQueen and his Creeks to Pensacola, which resulted in the attack of the whites on the Indians at Burnt Corn Creek, the first fight of the war. Without this Creek victory as fuel for the war party and aid in bringing the waverers along with them, Big Warrior’s peace party might well have carried the majority with them instead. Innerarity’s letter is important in the light it throws on the relations of Governor Manrique with McQueen, and his furnishing the Indians with a large amount of ammunition- …

A Stowe Memorial, K. W. Hooker
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the village of Mandarin on the St. Johns is the little “Church of Our Savior” with its memorial window to Calvin E. Stowe and Harriet Beecher Stowe. This fine example of American artisanship in stained glass represents the St. Johns River at sunset, seen through the moss-curtained branches of a big live oak-the “Stowe oak,” at Mandarin.

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.
Ralph Waldo Emerson In Florida, Mrs. Henry L. Richmond
Ralph Waldo Emerson In Florida, Mrs. Henry L. Richmond
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the 1820’s Ralph Waldo Emerson was a young Unitarian minister living in Cambridge, Massachusetts. As one of six children of a widowed mother in meagre circumstances, his twenty-three years had been a struggle of ambition over privation. His health had never been robust and in the autumn of 1826 he developed a bronchial ailment that demanded a change from the rigors of a New England winter. He was persuaded by family and friends to leave his ministerial duties and, his good uncle Samuel Ripley assisting with travel expenses, on November 25 Emerson sailed in the ship Clematis for Charleston, …

Why Two Connecticut Yankees Went South, Samuel H. Fisher

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.
James Alexander Robertson, A. Curtis Wilgus
James Alexander Robertson, A. Curtis Wilgus
Florida Historical Quarterly
Few scholars have had such an extensive general understanding of, or such an intensive interest in certain fields of history as had Dr. Robertson. The Philippines, Latin America, Florida, and Maryland all attracted his earnest, enthusiastic, and scholarly attention; and in each of those fields the results of his labors are outstanding. Though honors came to him from four continents, those who knew him best remember the man before the scholar.
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.

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 …

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.
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 …
