Alabama's Political Leaders And The Acquisition Of Florida, Hugh C. Bailey
Alabama's Political Leaders And The Acquisition Of Florida, Hugh C. Bailey
Florida Historical Quarterly
If many Americans were concerned with western expansion in 1819, it is equally true that many were greatly interested in expansion to the south. America’s spirit of ‘‘manifest destiny” was by no means blunted with the purchase of Louisiana, and at the time of Alabama’s admission to the Union the question of the acquisition and disposition of Florida had become a major issue. Nowhere was the concern greater than among the group which dominated the early years of Alabama’s political life, “the Georgia Machine.” Composed of former Georgians, many of whom originally came from Virginia, the “machine” was nurtured and …
Fort Caroline, Cradle Of American Freedom, Charles E. Bennett
Fort Caroline, Cradle Of American Freedom, Charles E. Bennett
Florida Historical Quarterly
Along the southern bank of the St. Johns River in northeastern Florida stand a wooded bluff and adjoining shorelands which may well be considered the birthplace of American ideals and freedom; or, at very least, the cradle of American ideals in the distant years of 1564 and 1565, and the beginning of the first permanent settlement of our country. The United States government is now, in 1956, establishing at the site what will be called Fort Caroline National Memorial. It is expected that it will be open to visitors by the early summer of 1957. Although the history of St. …

St. Paul’S Church In Quincy, Florida, During The Territorial Period, Edward B. Gearhart
St. Paul’S Church In Quincy, Florida, During The Territorial Period, Edward B. Gearhart
Florida Historical Quarterly
The development and the growth of the Episcopal Church in Quincy, Florida, and in all Florida, has been best related through the stories of the church leaders whether they were the parish rectors or, in all too few cases, able laymen. For a clear understanding of the life of St. Paul’s Church in Quincy during territorial Florida, three periods must be kept in mind. First, there was the long period of development into a congregation; second, there was the founding of the church and its growth under a rector in residence; last, and most important, were the situations that affected, …
The Legendary Visit Of Emerson To Tallahassee, Alan J. Downes
The Legendary Visit Of Emerson To Tallahassee, Alan J. Downes
Florida Historical Quarterly
Among the pioneers in the perennial migration of winter visitors to Florida was Ralph Waldo Emerson, the beloved philosopher of American ideals. In 1827, ten years before the flowering of the stirring essays on “The American Scholar” and ”Self-Reliance,” the unknown tubercular youth sailed into castle-shadowed St. Augustine harbor seeking the healing climate of the newly-acquired Florida Territory.
Surveyors’ Field Notes As A Source Of Historical Information, Wilfred T. Neill
Surveyors’ Field Notes As A Source Of Historical Information, Wilfred T. Neill
Florida Historical Quarterly
No doubt many historians are aware of the information to be gleaned from surveyors’ field notes. However, it seems desirable to call further attention to these documents; they should be of special interest to the student of local history, and to the archeologist who wishes to find sites of the Seminole period in Florida.
Osceola’S Coats?, William C. Sturtevant
Osceola’S Coats?, William C. Sturtevant
Florida Historical Quarterly
A surprising number of Osceola’s personal possessions have survived to the present, a circumstance no doubt attributable to his fame during life and to the fact that he died in captivity. Goggin (1955; see Bibliography following) has located and carefully described four items of Osceola’s clothing and jewelry, and has compared them with their pictorial representation in Osceola portraits. The four pieces are not only the oldest documented Seminole examples of their types, but are among the oldest dated Seminole ethnographic specimens of any kind. Hence they are important for the study of the history of Seminole material culture, as …
The First Fort Of San Marcos De Apalache, Lucy L. Wenhold
The First Fort Of San Marcos De Apalache, Lucy L. Wenhold
Florida Historical Quarterly
On the Gulf coast of southcentral Florida, where the St. Marks River flowing from further upstate meets the longer, shallower, eastward flowing Wakulla, the union of their waters forms a wide, deep, river-mouth harbor for any sea-going vessels that can pass the bar six miles further down at the entrance to the bay of Apalache. Where the two rivers come together there is a narrow headland that rises above the height of the tide and thrusts as it were a pointing finger toward the open sea. Today it is only a part of the harbor’s shoreline, grown up with tall …

Mission To The Creek Indians In 1794, Richard K. Murdoch
Mission To The Creek Indians In 1794, Richard K. Murdoch
Florida Historical Quarterly
So much effort has been directed to the story of the resolving of the post-Revolutionary War problems of the United States and Great Britain that insufficient attention has been paid to equally vexing problems with Spain and her allies, the southern Indians. In some respects this is not strange for even during the 1790’s, the attention of the American people was directed toward Great Britain for it was with this nation that the new republic’s economic future was most intimately associated. The two decades subsequent to the birth of the new nation saw constant friction along the Florida-Georgia frontier which …
State Aid For Indigent Soldiers And Their Families In Florida, 1861-1865, William Frank Zornow
State Aid For Indigent Soldiers And Their Families In Florida, 1861-1865, William Frank Zornow
Florida Historical Quarterly
Historians have long noted the economic weaknesses of the Confederate states as compared with those of the North. From the very beginning of the war the Southern economy seemed to become increasingly stagnant. In whole areas of the Confederacy there was actual privation and an economic decline which often bore no relationship whatsoever to the proximity of the Union army. These economic deficiencies unquestionably were one of the principal reasons for its collapse.
The Railroads And The Public Lands Of Florida, 1879-1905, J. E. Dovell
The Railroads And The Public Lands Of Florida, 1879-1905, J. E. Dovell
Florida Historical Quarterly
Opportunities for profitable economic enterprise in Florida, capitalizing on the resources of the mild climate and millions of acres of unsettled land, had intrigued Northern investors long before the Civil War when Yankee visitors built the state’s first tourist industry. During the war, Northern investors moved into the federally occupied areas and planned continued and accelerated economic invasion of Florida. In the years of Reconstruction the state was “full of northern men looking for a proposition” for profitable investment. The visitation of Northerners increased from 1870 to 1890 as the United States enjoyed the new industrial expansion resulting from the …
The Struggle For Control Of The Florida Central Railroad, 1867-1882, Paul E. Fenlon
The Struggle For Control Of The Florida Central Railroad, 1867-1882, Paul E. Fenlon
Florida Historical Quarterly
A golden age of laissez-faire capitalism began throughout the United States within a few years after Appomattox. This was an age of economic expansion which, led by railroad developments, transformed the United States within a generation, changing this country from an essentially agricultural nation into one of the most powerful industrial nations in the world. This era of transformation is sometimes called the period of the greatest industrial revolution in the history of mankind, but it was also a time when skillful financial manipulators fleeced thousands of investors and when there was widespread corruption of many local, state and federal …

Florida Seen Through The Eyes Of Nineteenth Century Travellers, Benjamin F. Rogers
Florida Seen Through The Eyes Of Nineteenth Century Travellers, Benjamin F. Rogers
Florida Historical Quarterly
During the first half of the nineteenth century, there were published both in this country and abroad a great number of books written by travellers in all parts of the United States, and especially in the South. As one Southern author observed in 1860: “The fashion has been for several years . . . to write books about the South. Englishmen, Frenchmen, Down-Eastern men, the Bloomer style of men, as well as countless numbers of female scribblers, have not ceased to drum upon the public tympanum (almost to deafness, indeed) in praise or blame - generally the latter - of …
Florida In 1643, As Seen By Its Governor, Charles W. Arnade
Florida In 1643, As Seen By Its Governor, Charles W. Arnade
Florida Historical Quarterly
Throughout much of the Spanish era Florida was a poor colony and a recurrent headache for Spain. To be stationed or live in this land was to be far from any civilization. For example: on August 29, 1644, Governor Damian de Vega Castro y Pardo wrote the King that for eight long years no subsidy or financial help [situado had reached the province, and that for more than twenty months not a bit of food had entered through Saint Augustine. Vega warned the King that the city would soon perish of starvation if aid was not forthcoming.

David Selby Walker: Educational Statesman Of Florida, Nita Katharine Pyburn
Florida Historical Quarterly
David S. Walker was a leader of distinguished ability during the formative years of the government of Florida. In addition to practicing his profession as a lawyer, he was at all times actively engaged in assuming his responsibilities as a citizen in his home community, Tallahassee, and in his State, holding various positions of trust, including elected and appointive offices. At various times he was intendant (mayor) of Tallahassee, a member of the Florida House of Representatives, of the Florida State Senate, Register of Lands and ex-officio Superintendent of Schools for the State during the 1850’s, Associate Justice of the …
Archeological Excavations In The Courtyard Of Castillo De San Marcos, St. Augustine, Florida, J. C. Harrington
Archeological Excavations In The Courtyard Of Castillo De San Marcos, St. Augustine, Florida, J. C. Harrington
Florida Historical Quarterly
The recorded history of the fortifications at St. Augustine, Florida, begins on the day the Spaniards, under Don Pedro Menendez de Aviles, landed at the Timucua Indian village of Seloy in the late summer of 1565. A large Indian communal house was turned over to the newcomers, who immediately set to work throwing up earthworks around the aboriginal structure.
