Florida Historical Quarterly
Local history must depend in part on tradition. Usually tradition has a basis in fact, but has grown or changed with every retelling. Yet often it was born through a supposition only, or from unintentional error in stating a fact. Yet again, many times, its beginning was pure invention, as in the case of the numerous historical trees— few of which ever had any connection with the event they are coupled with.

The Founder Of The Seminole Nation, Kenneth W. Porter
The Founder Of The Seminole Nation, Kenneth W. Porter
Florida Historical Quarterly
For nearly a century the generally accepted account of the origin of the Seminole has been “that the first group of Seminoles came into Florida in 1750, under a chief named Secoffee,” to quote Dr. John R. Swanton, chief contemporary authority on their origins and early history, whose source is the anthropologist Daniel G. Brinton, although Dr. Swanton states that he does not know Brinton’s authority.

In 1605 Alvaro Mexia was sent on an expedition down the east coast of Florida by Governor Don Pedro de Ybarra of Spanish East Florida. Mexia followed the inland waters as far south as St. Lucie Inlet, and upon his return to St. Augustine compiled a map and itinerary which are invaluable in the study of the archaeology of the early historic period in the area.

Major-General John Campbell In British West Florida, George C. Osborn
Major-General John Campbell In British West Florida, George C. Osborn
Florida Historical Quarterly
Late in the autumn of 1778 Brigadier-General John Campbell received a communication from Lord George Germain to proceed from the colony of New York to Pensacola, Province of West Florida. In this imperial province, which was bounded on the west by the Mississippi river, Lake Ponchartrain and the Iberville river, on the south by the Gulf of Mexico, on the east by the Apalachicola river and on the north by the thirty-first parallel but later by a line drawn eastward from the mouth of the Yazoo river, General Campbell was to take command of His Majesty’s troops. That the newly …

Carpetbag Imperialism In Florida, 1862-1868 Part Ii, George Winston Smith
Carpetbag Imperialism In Florida, 1862-1868 Part Ii, George Winston Smith
Florida Historical Quarterly
Before the Florida Direct Tax Commissioners couId hope to make extensive tax assessments and sales of “rebel”property in Florida, further military operations were essential in the Jacksonville area. Nevertheless, Fernandina and St. Augustine already were in possession of the Union forces, and Stickney could see before him a limited entree to southern wealth. Before he made a leisurely journey southward at the end of 1862, he quietly began to make preparations.
John Westcott’S Plan For Public Education In Florida, 1844, Nita Katharine Pyburn
John Westcott’S Plan For Public Education In Florida, 1844, Nita Katharine Pyburn
Florida Historical Quarterly
In 1843 the Legislative Council of Florida passed two acts pertaining to education ; one providing that “the sheriff of the several counties . . . be Commissioners of school’lands in their respective counties.” Each was to rent or lease the land and retain ten percent as commission. The remainder of the proceeds was to be paid to the county treasurer at the beginning of the year. The county court was to appropriate the fun.ds thus accruing “to the education of the poor children of the County in which such land was situated.“l In 1844 another act was passed which …

A Connecticut Yankee Fights At Olustee: Letters From The Front, Vaughn D. Bornet
Florida Historical Quarterly
Olustee was the most important battle of the War for Southern Independence in Florida. While the Union army under Brigadier General Truman Seymour was not “completely defeated, with . . . utter rout," it was a severe setback in the plan of the administration for separating Florida from the Confederacy. If the effort had been successful, the political and economic results would have been serious for the South.
William Dunnington Bloxham: The Years To The Governorship, Ruby Leach Carson
William Dunnington Bloxham: The Years To The Governorship, Ruby Leach Carson
Florida Historical Quarterly
If any contemporaries of William D. Bloxham (1835-1911) made any inquiries concerning the family background of Florida’s two-term governor, they left no record of his ancestry. As the son of a Leon county planter, born and reared in the heart of the political scene in Florida, his presence required no explanation. The War for Southern Independence, and then Reconstruction, of epic importance, engrossed men’s thoughts. Even Bloxham’s activity in statecraft was sufficiently important and picturesque to focus journalistic attention upon the man’s achievements almost to the exclusion of his earlier background.

Carpetbag Imperialism In Florida 1862-1868, George Winston Smith
Florida Historical Quarterly
The great Civil War battlefields were far from Florida. Compared with the Wilderness campaign, the bloody slaughter of Pittsburg Landing or other major conflicts, even Olustee was a minor battle on the margin of the war. Yet in addition to keeping Florida in the Confederacy, it and other lesser encounters revealed social forces which were destined to alter the fabric of Florida’s society, and radically influence the future, of all the South. For with the occupying forces of the Union army came political and economic adventurers, the successors of a few earlier Yankee pioneers in Florida, and the predecessors of …
Independentism: A Challenge To The Florida Democracy Of 1884, Edward C. Williamson
Independentism: A Challenge To The Florida Democracy Of 1884, Edward C. Williamson
Florida Historical Quarterly
After 1876 the Florida Republican party slowly dwindled away, for awhile holding its own in the coastal cities and a few counties of the so called “Black Belt." The Bourbon Democrats were in the saddle, pulling the wires and plucking what political plums there were. Confederate war veterans dominated the scene, causing frustration to many a younger Democratic politician. Therefore, it was not surprising that the election of 1884 saw a new party in the selection of candidates for state offices.
Early Education In Tallahassee And The West Florida Seminary, Now Florida State University, Part Ii, William G. Dodd
Early Education In Tallahassee And The West Florida Seminary, Now Florida State University, Part Ii, William G. Dodd
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the year 1850, Tallahassee, through its city government, took the first faltering steps which led later in the decade to the organization of a stable school system. Before that year, as was told in Part I of this article, parents had depended for the education of their children on private schools and on two corporate institutions, Leon Academy and Leon Female Academy. The former, constantly in financial straits, was barely kept alive through the years from 1827 to 1840. The Female Academy, begun in 1844, continued as an independent school until 1858. Thus the story of boys’ education before …
Enumeration Of The Florida Spanish Missions In 1675, Mark F. Boyd
Enumeration Of The Florida Spanish Missions In 1675, Mark F. Boyd
Florida Historical Quarterly
The instances when either the Spanish civil or ecclesiastical colonial authorities submitted enumerations of the mission establishments in Florida appear to have been infrequent and irregular. It is consequently somewhat surprising that two lists are available for the year 1675. The first of these to attract attention was the list incorporated in an undated letter written to the Queen of Spain by Bishop Gabriel Diaz Vara Calderon of Cuba, which was presented in translation by Lucy L. Wenhold (1936). The bishop paid an extensive pastoral visit to Florida in 1674-75, remaining for eight months, during which he appears to have …
Dr. Henry Perrine, Tropical Plant Enthusiast, Nelson Klose
Dr. Henry Perrine, Tropical Plant Enthusiast, Nelson Klose
Florida Historical Quarterly
After much research on the subject, this writer believes that no person worked with more devotion and energy for the introduction of tropical agricultural plants into the United States in the second quarter of the nineteenth century than did Dr. Henry Perrine. His was the foremost pioneering in agriculture for the development of the newly-acquired Territory of Florida. Perrine’s work came when a need was felt for new crops to diversify and bolster the agriculture of the South before effective assistance was given the states and before the Federal Congress had bureaucratized this work in 1839 with its first appropriation …

Archaeology In Florida: A Report On The Goodnow Mound, Florida Historical Society
Archaeology In Florida: A Report On The Goodnow Mound, Florida Historical Society
Florida Historical Quarterly
Though we call archaeology “pre-history,” so much has been learned about the former inhabitants of the land we might almost omit the prefix. This is not nearly so true of Florida aborigines as it is of many other parts of the country; and what has been accomplished here has been done by scientists from outside the State: Moore, Wyman, Stirling, Hrdlicka, Fewkes, Willey and others. Recently two of our own young men have been avidly following an urge which must have been congenital by digging into the history before history of the peninsula. These are John W. Griffin of Daytona …

Spanish Relief Policy And The East Florida Refugees Of 1763, Duvon C. Corbitt
Spanish Relief Policy And The East Florida Refugees Of 1763, Duvon C. Corbitt
Florida Historical Quarterly
So runs the pious ejeculation scrawled across the front page of the bundle of documents in the Archivo Nacional de Cuba concerned with pensions to wives, widows and daughters of the Floridians who chose to follow the retreating Spanish flag in 1763 and 1764. 1 It is not surprising that the Havanese officials called for help from on high when they found themselves confronted with the feeding and housing of the whole population of East Florida after the cession of that province to Great Britain by the Peace of Paris. Fortunately the total of that population scarcely exceeded three thousand …
