Caloosahatchee Massacre: Its Significance In The Second Seminole War, George R. Adams
Caloosahatchee Massacre: Its Significance In The Second Seminole War, George R. Adams
Florida Historical Quarterly
Recent scholarship has put the Second Seminole War in its proper place as one of the most dramatic episodes in the period of Indian removal. The war was the longest, most expensive and most exhausting Indian conflict of the era. Hostilities lasted from 1835 to 1842, and cost an estimated $40,000,000 while over 1,400 regular army troops and an indeterminable number of militiamen, civilians, and Indians lost their lives in the swamps and wilderness of Florida. Guerrilla tactics, atrocities, almost continual negotiation, generally undistinguished military activity, frequent change of command, and conflict between civilian and military authorities characterized the struggle.

Not until just before World War II did Leon become an urban county. Tallahassee always had been the only real town in the county, and for more than a century it had been a fairly small community. The 1940 census showed that for the first time more than half the county’s population, 16,240 of the 31,646 persons, lived in Tallahassee. The city’s growth since World War II has turned Leon into one of Florida’s most urban counties. Before that time it shared with its four neighboring counties-Jackson, Gadsden, Jefferson, and Madison-the characteristics of being rural, agricultural, and, for the most …

Florida Women Get The Vote, Kenneth R. Johnson
Florida Women Get The Vote, Kenneth R. Johnson
Florida Historical Quarterly
Florida women worked long and hard to secure the right to vote. In 1912 Mrs. Roselle Cooley, Miss Frances Anderson, and a few other energetic women in Jacksonville organized the Florida Equal Franchise League. The idea spread to other communities, and in 1913 a small group of suffragists from all parts of the state, led by Dr. Mary Safford, met at Orlando and organized the Florida Equal Suffrage Association. This organization carried on the main fight for woman suffrage in Florida. It was composed of twenty-eight local leagues, five of which were men’s leagues. They were organized between June 1912 …

"A Tale To Tell From Paradise Itself", George Bancroft's Letters From Florida, March 1855, Patricia Clark
Florida Historical Quarterly
Although the development of Florida as a resort for wealthy northern vacationers saw a product of the post-Civil War era, the decade preceding the war was the beginning of a modest influx of travelers, particularly to the northeast region which bordered on the St. Johns River and its tributaries. The subtropical climate, which proved to have a beneficial effect on those suffering mainly with chronic respiratory and bronchial ailments, lured the invalid, while the variety of bird and animal life attracted the hunters. In addition, there were the inveterate travelers-those disposed to adventure or goaded by curiosity as to customs …
Deprivation, Disaffection, And Desertion In Confederate Florida, John F. Reiger
Deprivation, Disaffection, And Desertion In Confederate Florida, John F. Reiger
Florida Historical Quarterly
The federal blockade, departure of most breadwinners for the military, removal of large quantities of food, clothing, and supplies for troops on every southern battlefront, disregard of desperate appeals of Confederate and state officials urging the planting of food rather than money crops, and great speculation, caused widespread suffering for most Florida families during the Civil War.

The Florida Treaty And The Gallatin-Vives Misunderstanding, Louis R. Bisceglia
Florida Historical Quarterly
From the time it was announced by His Catholic Majesty Ferdinand VII in August 1820, that he was sending a minister plenipotentiary to the United States to conduct further negotiations with President Monroe, to the moment General Francisco Vives disembarked in New York on April 7, 1820, from the packet ship James Monroe, an aura of mystery had enveloped Washington as to the disposition of the Spanish government toward the Florida treaty. For during this time there had been virtually no official communiques exchanged between the two governments. John Forsyth, the American minister in Spain, was for all intents and …

Florida Historical Quarterly
Recently a manuscript map entitled “Sketch of the Indian and Negro Towns on the Suwaney River” was found during a search of the National Archives and Records Service documents section by A. P. Muntz, chief of the cartographic branch. This map (RG77:L 247-94) is included in a selection of signed and dated maps filed in the records of the Office of the Chief of Engineers pertaining to military activities in northern Florida in the vicinity of the Suwannee River. Almost all are dated 1839, and were rendered by officers of the “topographical engineers” contingent assigned to military forces commanded by …

Lizzie Brown's Tallahassee, Bertram H. Groene
Florida Historical Quarterly
Francis Elizabeth Brown, born in 1818, was the oldest daughter of Thomas Brown, governor of Florida from 1849 to 1853. In the winter of 1827-1828 her father, a dispirited Virginia planter, organized a caravan to move his family from his Rappahannock River farm to Leon County, Florida, some 800 miles away. Brown packed ten year old Lizzie, as Francis Elizabeth was affectionately known, her mother, her brother Jackson, and her three sisters, Mary, Mag, and Ginnie, into the family carriage. Followed by twenty planter friends and his 140 slaves, Brown led the party for two months through North and South …

Spanish Treaties With West Florida Indians 1784-1802, Jack D. L. Holmes
Florida Historical Quarterly
When Bernardo de Galvez raised the lion-and-castle banner over Pensacola in 1781, British rule in West Florida came to a close and the Gulf of Mexico was again a Spanish sea. Keeping it thus was another matter, however, for the young and restless nation to the north was expansionist minded. One of the keys to Spanish defense of Louisiana and West Florida was the presence of 20,000 Indians whose friendship and support would determine who would control the area. Spanish governors and commandants signed various treaties with these Indians between 1784 and 1802. Basically, there were two types of treaties: …

Aspects Of The Development And Exploration Of The Forbes Purchase, John C. Upchurch
Aspects Of The Development And Exploration Of The Forbes Purchase, John C. Upchurch
Florida Historical Quarterly
Attempts at land speculation have been common in the United States. In Florida an early attempt involved an immense tract of land known as the “Forbes Purchase.” This territory, situated in the north-central part of the state bordering the Gulf of Mexico, was the object of exploitation as a unit for approximately fifty-seven years, 1804-1861. First under the trading firm of Panton, Leslie and Company and its successor John Forbes and Company, and later under the Apalachicola Land Company, this practically virgin wilderness was explored, surveyed, and to a degree developed.

A Letter From Occupied Tallahassee, Bertram H. Groene

Beigadier General Edward M. McCook, a thirty-two year old Union cavalry officer, accompanied by five staff officers, and units from the Second Indiana Cavalry and Seventh Kentucky Cavalry, numbering about 500 men, left Macon, Georgia, on May 5, 1865. He was under orders to accept the surrender of Confederate forces at Tallahassee and St. Marks. Leaving his cavalry four miles behind on the Thomasville Road, McCook and his officers quietly rode into Tallahassee and there on May 10 they received the surrender by Major General Samuel Jones of Florida’s Confederate forces. Two days later McCook received the surrender of the …

Florida Courts And The Disputed Election Of 1876, Jerrell H. Shofner
Florida Historical Quarterly
When the election of November 7, 1876 failed to resolve the presidential contest between Republican Rutherford B. Hayes and Democrat Samuel J. Tilden because of uncertain results in Florida, Louisiana, and South Carolina, both national parties sent prominent representatives to the three southern capitals to observe and work for their partys’ interests. With Tilden only one electoral vote short of victory, the Republicans needed every one of the nineteen disputed votes. Because there had been less violence and corruption in Florida and because only a few votes separated the parties, many politicians believed it to be the crucial state. Under …
Florida And Rumrunning During National Prohibition, James A. Carter, Iii
Florida And Rumrunning During National Prohibition, James A. Carter, Iii
Florida Historical Quarterly
Few periods in Florida's long, colorful history equal the excitement and turbulence of those years when national prohibition was in effect. From the outset of the "Noble Experiment" in 1920 it was apparent to even the most casual observer of events that the state was destined to play a starring role in the drama of that era. The proximity of the Bahamas and the Caribbean islands, coupled with an extensive coastline indented with innumerable bays and inlets, was a boon to liquor smuggling and rumrunning as enforcement agents quickly discovered.

Port Of Apalachicola, Harry P. Owens
Port Of Apalachicola, Harry P. Owens
Florida Historical Quarterly
When Chief Justice John Marshall handed down a decision on the Forbes Purchase claims Apalachicola entered a new phase in its development. The recently organized Apalachicola Land Company exerted its efforts to develop a major cotton port. Some citizens, dissatisfied with the Apalachicola Land Company, began a rival port on St. Joseph Bay. St. Joseph failed to develop as a commercial center and it ceased to exist by 1842. During the two decades before the Civil War, Apalachicola experienced prosperity to such a degree that it became the thrid largest cotton port on the Gulf of Mexico.
