The Loyalist Migration From East Florida To The Bahama Islands, Thelma Peters
The Loyalist Migration From East Florida To The Bahama Islands, Thelma Peters
Florida Historical Quarterly
During the American Revolution many Loyalists fled from the southern states and sought refuge in British East Florida. At the close of the war, when Florida changed hands again, these refugees as well as the British residents of Florida were forced to choose between living under the flag of Spain or seeking new homes elsewhere. Most of them left Florida and many of them established their new homes in the sprawling archipelago which is Florida’s neighbor to the east, the Bahama Islands
A Naval Visitor In British West Florida, Robert R. Rea
A Naval Visitor In British West Florida, Robert R. Rea
Florida Historical Quarterly
The world-wide explansion of the British Empire in the eighteenth century was dependent upon a navy whose officers were, of necessity, the most widely travelled men of their times. No less than frontiersmen, the holders of His Majesty’s commission were empire-builders. Seldom, however, were they fully conscious of the broader significance of their work or capable of literary exploitation of their experiences. John Blankett was an exception to this generalization. His career extended from the inland waters of North America to the Indian Ocean, from Russia to South Africa, from the English Channel to the Red Sea where he last …
The Avero Story: An Early Saint Augustine Family With Many Daughters And Many Houses, Charles W. Arnade
The Avero Story: An Early Saint Augustine Family With Many Daughters And Many Houses, Charles W. Arnade
Florida Historical Quarterly
By November 10, 1702, the English forces led by the ruthless James Moore, Governor of English Carolina, had occupied the town of St. Augustine. Over 1500 people took refuge in the Spanish fort which the English never were able to conquer. For two months Moore besieged the fort. The Spanish artillery was weak and ineffectual in driving away the enemy; the English artillery was inadequate against the massive walls of the fort. Moore tried to place his guns within closer range of the moat. The Spanish, afraid of this maneuver, dispatched a patrol with orders to burn all houses within …

The Advent Of The Spanish-American War In Florida, 1898, William J. Schellings
Florida Historical Quarterly
On February 1, 1898, the Jacksonville Times Union and Citizen angrily denounced General Nelson Miles for what it termed an attempt to waste the taxpayers’ money. Miles had appeared before a Congressional committee with a plea for funds with which to build fortifications around Washington. The Jacksonville editor declared that there was “no war in sight,” and that the money might better be spent on the construction of an intracoastal waterway, a project already looming large in the minds of many Floridians. His denial of any need for defenses was merely another manner of expressing his stubborn opposition to anything …
Civil War Operations In And Around Pensacola Part Ii, Florida Historical Society
Civil War Operations In And Around Pensacola Part Ii, Florida Historical Society
Florida Historical Quarterly
The new Confederate commander at Pensacola seemed omnipresent. In conjunction with Colonel William J. Hardee, commander at Fort Morgan, the bastion guarding the eastern approaches to Mobile Bay, a reconnaissance was conducted preparatory to the opening of a new line of communication between Mobile and Pensacola. It was hoped that an easier route could be developed between these two key points by utilizing water and land transportation, via Bon Secours, Bear Creek, and Perdido Bay, eliminating the long, slow overland trek from Blakely.
Florida And The Cuban Revolution, 1895-1898, William J. Schellings
Florida And The Cuban Revolution, 1895-1898, William J. Schellings
Florida Historical Quarterly
The Cuban revolt against Spanish rule in 1895 and the possibility that this might lead to war between Spain and the United States placed Florida in a dilemma. There were a number of reasons for the state’s rejoicing at the prospect of Cuban independence, and for many individual Floridians to want to aid the rebels. Against this, however, was the fear that if the United States went to war against Spain it could end only in disaster for Florida. As a result, an attempt was made to walk a middle path, to encourage the giving of private aid to the …
Andrew Ranson: Seventeenth Century Pirate?, J. Leitch Wright, Jr.
Andrew Ranson: Seventeenth Century Pirate?, J. Leitch Wright, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
The later half of the seventeenth century saw the swashbuckling heyday of piracy in the West Indies. Here, English, French, and Dutch buccaneers, and audacious seafarers claiming no nation, roamed the seas almost at will, delighting particularly in preying on galleons flying the Spanish flag and in sacking and ransoming cities along the Spanish Main. It is true that the policy of European nations was changing from encouraging or winking at buccaneer activities to supporting legitimate trade with Spanish America, and some serious efforts were made to curb these seagoing marauders. Nevertheless, this was of little consolation to the inhabitants …

The Spanish Conquest Of British West Florida, 1779-1781, Albert W. Haarmann
Florida Historical Quarterly
Florida passed to British control in 1763 with the signing of the Treaty of Paris. A Royal Proclamation on October 7 of that year established West Florida as a colony and Pensacola was designated as its capital.

Reminiscences Or A Florida Pioneer: John M. Mcintosh, Samuel Proctor
Reminiscences Or A Florida Pioneer: John M. Mcintosh, Samuel Proctor
Florida Historical Quarterly
Comparatively few pioneers of nineteenth-century Florida left accounts of their lives or the times in which they lived. So engrossed were they in constructing the material and cultural foundations of a new state that they had little time for recording their experiences and observations.
Northerners In Late Nineteenth Century Florida: Carpetbaggers Or Settlers?, Maurice M. Cance
Northerners In Late Nineteenth Century Florida: Carpetbaggers Or Settlers?, Maurice M. Cance
Florida Historical Quarterly
Interpretations, both popular and professional, of the influence of Northerners on the history of Florida have been characterized by two major concepts. Today the subject of northern immigration brings first to our minds the thought of the tourist and the settler, persons whose constructive roles in the development of the state need no affirmation. As we think of northern immigration in the late nineteenth century, however, our attitudes are colored by another label - that of the carpetbagger. The carpetbagger was of course a Yankee scoundrel up to no good, a corrupting element in southern society from the Old Dominion …
Railroads Out Of Pensacola, 1833-1883, Charles H. Hildreth
Railroads Out Of Pensacola, 1833-1883, Charles H. Hildreth
Florida Historical Quarterly
The opening of the three-mile Quincy [Mass.] Railroad in 1827 marked a general change of emphasis in transportation in the United States. Visionaries suffering from “canal fever” discovered “railroad fever” to be an excellent antidote for the disease and one which allowed the mind to envision schemes not limited by the natural waterways of the nation. Florida, a part of the Union for slightly more than a decade, became the setting in 1833, for one of the most ambitious of these early plans.

Pensacola In Retrospect: 1870-1890, Occie Clubbs
Florida Historical Quarterly
The yellow pine was the backbone of the economy of the Pensacola region and the source of several individual fortunes during the decades of this article. As early as 1826 E. E. Simpson had constructed a water-mill at Woodbine to carry out his contract to furnish lumber for certain buildings at the Pensacola Navy Yard then under construction. In 1841 John Hunt built the first steam sawmill. Though both of these were in what is now Santa Rosa County, that area was Escambia County then, and Pensacola was headquarters and received the stimulus and financial benefit from their operations.
Pensacola In The War For Southern Independence, Julien C. Yonge
Pensacola In The War For Southern Independence, Julien C. Yonge
Florida Historical Quarterly
Patriotic ardor grew steadily in Pensacola during the latter part of 1860 and reached a height when Florida seceded from the Union on January 10, 1861. Two companies of volunteers had already been organized there: the Pensacola Guards with A. H. Bright as captain, and the Rifle Rangers, Edward A. Perry, captain.

Ante-Bellum Pensacola: 1821-1860, Herbert J. Doherty, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
The morning sun over Pensacola on July 17, 1821, shone on a scene of historic pageantry not since repeated in Florida’s history. During the early hours of that day a full company of Spanish troops, dismounted dragoons of the regiment of Tarragona who were elegantly clad and equipped, paraded in the plaza before the Government House. A few miles away, through the flat piney woods, came elements of the Fourth United States Infantry and Fourth United States Artillery regiments with flags flying and band playing. At their heads rode the gaunt gray figure of Andrew Jackson. After almost two months …
Pensacola During The Second Spanish Period, L. N. Mcalister
Pensacola During The Second Spanish Period, L. N. Mcalister
Florida Historical Quarterly
On the first day of January, 1777, an event in New Orleans was to have important consequences for the history of Pensacola: Bernardo de Galvez formally assumed the governorship of Louisiana. Galvez was typical of the colonial officials who were appointed during that Indian Summer of Spanish Imperial history, the reign of Charles III. A career officer in the royal armies, he had already distinguished himself in several theaters: first in Portugal, then in Mexico against the Indians on the northern frontier where, under his famous uncle Jose de Galvez, he displayed those traits of energy, initiative, and leadership which …
Spanish Pensacola, 1700-1763, William B. Griffen
Spanish Pensacola, 1700-1763, William B. Griffen
Florida Historical Quarterly
After more than a decade of explorations by Spain along the north and east shores of the Gulf of Mexico, a garrison has founded with all urgency at a bay called Pensacola* in the latter part of the year 1698 in an effort to keep other foreign powers, namely France and England, from obtaining a foothold in the region. These enemies of the Spanish dominions, so thought the Spaniards, would thus be obstructed from an area from which they could attack Spanish shipping and from which they would be able to penetrate and usurp portions of the northern Spanish colonies, …

The Founding Of Pensacola: Reasons And Reality, Albert Manucy
Florida Historical Quarterly
October 1698 - Two rival expeditions - one French, the other Spanish - were sailing toward a pleasant harbor in the Gulf of Mexico. Neither of them knew about a third rival. But there it was, two little ships outbound from London, bringing Britons who coveted the same sunny southeastern province.
Florida Pioneer, Adelaide H. Reed
Florida Pioneer, Adelaide H. Reed
Florida Historical Quarterly
Whether the source of the Manatee River was really the “Fountain of Youth” for which Ponce de Leon searched in vain is a question for historians - or geographers - to argue about. But, in its early days, the little town of Manatee really did have a “Fountain of Youth.” At least, it was named that. It was not exactly a fountain, but a little spring of clear, cold water bubbling up out of the ground, with a gourd hung on a nearby oak tree from which to drink.

Riots, Public Perception And Government Response In The Civil War South, Erik Lorenz
Riots, Public Perception And Government Response In The Civil War South, Erik Lorenz
Campus Research Month
This presentation examines bread riots in the Confederacy and political riots in Union-occupied territory. Southern newspapers reveal the Confederacy’s need to maintain order. Northern newspaper accounts used Southern riots to depict the Confederacy as weak, and suggest that the desire to avoid appearing weak shaped the Confederacy’s response. I will demonstrate how the desire to maintain order and avoid appearing weak tempered the Confederate use of military force and ensured riots were always met with welfare measures. In contrast, the conquering government of Union-occupied cities could and did maintain order by force, ignoring rioters’ demands.
Autobiography Of William Marvin, Kevin E. Kearney
Autobiography Of William Marvin, Kevin E. Kearney
Florida Historical Quarterly
Sixty-five years ago, a venerable man in Skaneateles, New York, set himself to the task of recording the events of his life. What William Marvin wrote between the pages of a lined composition notebook was more than an autobiography. It was a chapter in American history. What is even more significant is that much of what Marvin recounted pertained to the history of Florida during the critical years 1835-1866, a period which found the nation challenged with the issues of union, disunion, and reunion. The story which follows, then, is the story of a man who served Florida during the …

Entering Pensacola Harbor from the Gulf of Mexico in 1861 one would have seen, as he crossed the ba , Fort McRee immediately on his left on the main land or west shore of the bay and to the right Fort Pickens on the western extremity of Santa Rosa Island. This island, lying approximately parallel to the shore of the mainland, is nearly forty miles long and is separated from the mainland by Pensacola Bay. On the mainland opposite Fort Pickens and at a distance of about one and one-half miles stood Fort Barrancas and about another one and one-half …
Blockage Runner, Alice Strickland
Blockage Runner, Alice Strickland
Florida Historical Quarterly
During the Civil War Confederate blockade runners played a dangerous and exciting game of hide and seek with Union gunboats off the Florida coast. President Lincoln had proclaimed the blockade on April 19, 1861, with the intention of closing the Atlantic ports of the Confederacy to trade with other nations. The South, therefore, was faced with the problem of running the blockade in order to bring in the necessities of war.

The Florida Ship Canal, Benjamin F. Rogers
The Florida Ship Canal, Benjamin F. Rogers
Florida Historical Quarterly
A few miles south of Ocala four huge bridge piers tower out of the underbrush to puzzle most tourists and many Floridians. These piers are monuments to a project which was pictured the moment the Spanish realized Florida was a peninsula, which was considered by Andrew Jackson, John Quincy Adams, and John C. Calhoun, which was surveyed and re-surveyed during the administrations of Calvin Coolidge and Herbert Hoover, which was undertaken and abandoned under the leadership of Franklin D. Roosevelt, and which still stirs the imagination of many Floridians - the trans-Florida canal.
