Opposing Views Of La Florida - Alvar Núnez Cabeza De Vaca And El Inca, Jose B. Fernandez
Opposing Views Of La Florida - Alvar Núnez Cabeza De Vaca And El Inca, Jose B. Fernandez
Florida Historical Quarterly
The most thorough description in Spanish letters of La Florida, which extended from the Florida peninsula to Mexico during the period of Spanish exploration, is found in the Relación of Alvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca. Yet, for centuries, it has been the Inca Garcilaso de la Vega who has enjoyed the undisputed distinction in Spanish literature, as well as in history, of being the “chronicler of Florida.”

Continuity In Commerce: Development Of The Panton, Leslie And Company Trade Monopoly In West Florida, Thomas D. Watson
Continuity In Commerce: Development Of The Panton, Leslie And Company Trade Monopoly In West Florida, Thomas D. Watson
Florida Historical Quarterly
As the year 1782 drew to an end, the framers of Indian policy in British East Florida found themselves in a quandary. Although the evacuation of Savannah and Charleston signaled the end of military campaigning, the precise status of the British Empire in postwar North America remained unknown. To Thomas Brown, Indian superintendent of the Southern District, and Governor Patrick Tonyn, this uncertainty was a matter of real concern; numerous deputations of Indians—some from as far as the Great Lakes region— had descended on St. Augustine seeking assurances of continued British support. The officials responded by encouraging the Indians to …
Governor George Johnstone Of British West Florida, R. F. A. Fabel
Governor George Johnstone Of British West Florida, R. F. A. Fabel
Florida Historical Quarterly
George Johnstone was the first governor of British West Florida. His activities from his arrival at Pensacola in October 1764, to his departure in January 1767, have inspired detailed by narrow description. What nobody has sufficiently considered are the reasons for his appointment as governor and the circumstances surrounding the loss of this office. These omissions are worthy of examination. It is surprising that a junior naval officer with a spotty record should have been selected for one of the more lucrative colonial governorships. Even more astonishing is that a man who proved to be the most vigorous and possibly …
Mermaids Riding Alligators: Divided Command On The Southern Frontier, 1776-1778, W. Calvin Smith
Mermaids Riding Alligators: Divided Command On The Southern Frontier, 1776-1778, W. Calvin Smith
Florida Historical Quarterly
George Clemenceau's oft-quoted remark that war was too important a matter to entrust to the military simply put into words a thought prevalent in the western civil mind at least since the days of the Roman Republic. The obverse, that politics is too vital a business to be left to politicians, is equally true in the western military mind but less-often spoken. For a general to utter these words would bring immediate accusations of a “Caesar-complex” or worse. That twentieth-century playwrights would permit such a statement only from a power-mad, insanely-obsessed general, such as Jack Ripper in the production, Dr. …

Spanish Fisheries Of Charlotte Harbor, E. A. Hammond
Spanish Fisheries Of Charlotte Harbor, E. A. Hammond
Florida Historical Quarterly
The fishermen from Cuba and other Spanish colonial settlements who had first sailed their smacks into the waters of Charlotte Harbor and Tampa Bay recognized that the bays, inlets, and rivers of the area abounded in edible fish and green turtle ready to be taken with minimal risk and perhaps even with substantial profit. The organic content of these waters provided ideal feeding haunts for many species for which there would be convenient markets. It may be reasonably assumed that commercial fishing, at least on a small scale, was carried on there in the latter part of the seventeenth and …

Black Slaves, Red Masters, White Middlemen: A Congressional Debate Of 1852, James E. Sefton
Black Slaves, Red Masters, White Middlemen: A Congressional Debate Of 1852, James E. Sefton
Florida Historical Quarterly
A list of the most noteworthy congressional debates over slavery would include those on the Compromises of 1820 and 1850, the Gag Rule, the slave trade, and the Kansas-Nebraska Bill, among others. Sometimes, however, debate on a comparatively minor episode of a large issue can be highly illuminating. In the spring of 1852, the House of Representatives devoted perhaps ten hours to a bill which brought to a close a bizzare story that had begun sixteen years earlier during federal efforts to remove the Seminole Indians from Florida. Ever since the United States acquired Florida from Spain in 1819, white …

The Captives Of Florida, Eugene Lyon
The Captives Of Florida, Eugene Lyon
Florida Historical Quarterly
In September 1565, Pedro Menéndez de Avilés of Spain sought out and attacked the Huguenot French in their Florida settlement. When his victory was won, a number of men, women, and children had become captives of the Spanish, while at least two Spaniards were prisoners in the hands of the French. Some of these people possessed noble blood; most were common sailors and soldiers. A few gained a degree of notoriety from their experiences– at least one of the captives was received at the court of Philip II of Spain, while another appeared before the Queen Mother of France. While …

Making Of Modern Tampa: A City Of The New South, 1885-1911, Durward Long
Florida Historical Quarterly
Historican have yet to devote the thought and research to urbanization in the South that the subject deserves. Coulter’s brief attention to the growth and role of cities and towns in the Reconstruction era, Van Woodward’s similarly brief concern with cities in his Origins of the New South, Ezell’s short treatment in his textbook survey, Park’s interpretative chapter in Couch’s Culture in the South, and Vance’s edited work on the recent South nearly exhaust the list of serious histories which offer even slight leads about southern urbanization. A survey of the Journal of Southern History and state historical journals is …
Intervention And Reaction: Florida Newspapers And United States Entry In World War I, C. Peter Ripley
Intervention And Reaction: Florida Newspapers And United States Entry In World War I, C. Peter Ripley
Florida Historical Quarterly
Florida newspapers largely ignored the war in Europe until 1917. In early January there was only an occasional mention of the international situation except for brief reports on the fighting. But by mid-February the possibility, and in some cases the inevitability, of United States involvement in the war was a major editorial topic. A month later a majority of the papers favored America’s joining the crusade to make the world “safe for democracy.”
Florida Frontier Incidents During The 1850s, George C. Bittle
Florida Frontier Incidents During The 1850s, George C. Bittle
Florida Historical Quarterly
From a military viewpoint Florida’s frontier at the beginning of the 1850s was relatively quiet. There was no significant warfare, but the Indian question was far from settled. Governor Thomas Brown’s message to the Florida legislature in 1850 repeated many previous statements and complained about the almost total disorganization of Florida’s militia. Governor Brown typically blamed this situation on the current militia law’s unwieldy nature. However, it should be noted, that Florida military officials had not made the militia returns required by the federal government since 1845. There would seem to be some question therefore, concerning the state’s desire to …

Lieutenant Levin M. Powell, U.S.N., Pioneer Of Riverine Warfare, George E. Buker

Geographically Vietnam is half a world away from Florida. Historically over a century and a quarter separates the present conflict in Southeast Asia from the Second Seminole War. In both of these engagements the United States Navy has conducted similar operations of maintaining combat coastal patrols against guerrilla operations. Today the amphibious river assault forces of the navy wend their passage among the tortuous waterways of the Mekong delta in riverine warfare. l The lineage of such naval operations go back to the Second Seminole War of 1835-1842 in Florida. The conflict erupted in December 1835, when the Indians took …
