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 …
The South Florida Military Institute (Bartow), Samuel Proctor
The South Florida Military Institute (Bartow), Samuel Proctor
Florida Historical Quarterly
As was true of most of the institutions of higher learning taken over by the State at one time or another, the South Florida Military and Educational Institution had operated first as a private school. In 1894 Major General Evander McIver Law, a teacher of long and varied experience, and a Confederate veteran of distinguished service, founded a military school in Bartow, which eventually became one of the constituent parents of the University of Florida

Foreign Travellers In Florida, 1900-1950, Lawrence S. Thompson
Foreign Travellers In Florida, 1900-1950, Lawrence S. Thompson
Florida Historical Quarterly
During the first half of the twentieth century more foreign writers visited the South than at any other period in history. Among the various Southern states the most popular among this group of visitors were Florida, Louisiana, Texas, and Virginia. In many instances Virginia was a sort of afterthought to the customary visit to Washington, but the other three states attracted foreigners primarily on account of their own colorful history and scenery. If New Orleans were to be placed in a separate category as a tourist attraction, Florida would outstrip Louisiana in this respect. Moreover, a large proportion of travellers …
The Pensacola Indian Trade, Peter A. Brannon
The Pensacola Indian Trade, Peter A. Brannon
Florida Historical Quarterly
Any account of the trade with the southern Indians out of Pensacola must of necessity be a historical recording of the contacts of Spanish (and British to an extent) West Florida with the Alabama Basin region to the north. The “Pensacola Trade Route” incidents make much of the romantic story of the early settlement of the Gulf country.
The Addison Blockhouse, John W. Griffin
The Addison Blockhouse, John W. Griffin
Florida Historical Quarterly
The so-called Addison blockhouse, situated on the old Addison grant near the Tomoka River in coastal Volusia County, has long been an enigma. The alternatives of dating suggested by persons interested in it have ranged from the sixteenth to the nineteenth century, and its builders have variously been claimed to have been Spaniards, Englishmen, or Americans. In order to lay plans for a valid interpretation of the structure to the public, the Florida Park Service undertook a study to determine its origin and history.
Education In St. Augustine 1821-1845, Frank G. Lewis
Education In St. Augustine 1821-1845, Frank G. Lewis
Florida Historical Quarterly
The struggle for free public schools, particularly in certain cities and states, even in whole regions, has often revolved about historical issues such as those concerned with social and economic classes, taxation, and religion. Some observable differences in the development of school systems in the various regions of America can be traced to the different influences of the cultural heritages of the English and Spanish colonists. The struggle for a free school in St. Augustine during the territorial period exemplifies the evolution of an ever increasing conviction of a need for a system of schools to train the youth of …

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 …
Taylor County History And Civil War Deserters, W. T. Cash
Taylor County History And Civil War Deserters, W. T. Cash
Florida Historical Quarterly
When Florida seceded from the Union, Taylor county was four years old, it having been created from Madison county on December 23, 1856. As a functioning political unit its age was at least six months less, for the members of its first board of county commissioners were not qualified until March 27, 1857, and its first judge of probate, one of whose duties was to preside at board meetings, was not commissioned until July 4, following.
Early Education In Tallahassee And The West Florida Seminary Now Florida State University, Part I, William G. Dodd
Early Education In Tallahassee And The West Florida Seminary Now Florida State University, Part I, William G. Dodd
Florida Historical Quarterly
The school problems of early Tallahassee, after a long process of trial and error, were finally solved by the establishment, on January 1, 1857, of the West Florida Seminary. Though the Seminary was nominally a State institution, actually for many years nearly all of its students were from Tallahassee and vicinity, and it was to all intents and purposes a Tallahassee school. With its location in the town, citizens were at last assured of a permanent means of educating their sons, and a little later, their daughters also. Until this fortunate event, Tallahassee, like the other towns of the Territory …

Stephen Russell Mallory, Occie Clubbs
Florida Historical Quarterly
Perhaps Charles Mallory, as he worked at his carpenter’s bench somewhere in New England, dreamed that some day he might have a son to work beside him or to follow him at the same bench; and later, now a building superintendent and contractor in the island of Trinidad off the coast of South America, he may have dreamed again that the little Stephen playing about his shop or office, might become a great man. But if so, the reality far surpassed his dreams-for the boy became a member of the foremost legislative body of the world, and later was one …
Florida In 1845, Dorothy Dodd
Florida In 1845, Dorothy Dodd
Florida Historical Quarterly
When the government of the State of Florida was organized in June 1845, the state contained a population of some 66,500. Although Florida has a total area of 58,560 square miles, 2 47 percent of the population was concentrated in the 7,333 square miles (only 12.5 percent of the state total) lying between the Apalachicola and Suwannee rivers, then known as Middle Florida. The remaining 53 percent was distributed fairly evenly between West and East Florida, 25 percent being in the former and 28 percent in the latter. But since West Florida -between the Perdido and Apalachicola rivershas an area …
History And Archeology In Florida, John W. Griffin
History And Archeology In Florida, John W. Griffin
Florida Historical Quarterly
There was a time when archaeology was conceived of as the collection of relics and history was thought of as the study of names and dates. The two disciplines seemed far apart. Yet history and archaeology are very closely related. Both are concerned with “history” in the broader sense. Both study and seek to interpret unique events placed in time and space. The major difference lies in the techniques used. History gains most of its information through written documents, archaeology for the most part deals with times and groups which have no written records of their own, and is forced …

Any descriptive writing of general character by an intelligent observer a century or more ago is almost certain to contain valuable information for the historian; and this is especially true for Florida. The following account presents a view of East Florida in 1817, four years before the United States officially occupied it through cession by Spain.

The Tekesta Indians Of Southern Florida, John Mann Groggin
The Tekesta Indians Of Southern Florida, John Mann Groggin
Florida Historical Quarterly
The Tekesta Indians at the time of the discovery of America occupied a portion of southeastern Florida. This area seems to have comprised the greater part of Dade county and possibly to have extended north to Pompano in Broward county. To the south toward Cape Sable it is difficult to tell where the boundary between the Calusa and the Tekesta was, although Barcia says there was a Tekesta village named Abayoa at the southern extremity of the Florida peninsula (probably Cape Sable). (Barcia, Ensayo 2, bibliography, post). However, archaeological evidence seems to indicate that sites about Cape Sable are more …
