Letters Of William Cullen Bryant From Florida, Charles I. Glicksberg
Letters Of William Cullen Bryant From Florida, Charles I. Glicksberg
Florida Historical Quarterly
In 1843; on the invitation of William Gilmore Sims, Bryant had taken a journey to the South. He visited Richmond, watched the sale of tobacco, and inspected a typical tobacco factory. Later, while enjoying the ‘hospitality of some planters in the Barnwell district of South Carolina, he had the good ” fortune of witnessing a corn shucking and attending a racoon hunt. But of far greater interest to him was the life of the negro observed at first hand. He listened to negro ballads and the lively music of the banjo and heard, perhaps for the first time, the hearty, …
Fort Marion During The Seminole War, Rogers W. Young
Fort Marion During The Seminole War, Rogers W. Young
Florida Historical Quarterly
The news that the Seminoles had begun hostilities in Florida spread slowly early in January, 1836. The intelligence stirred the country, however. The War Department had heard of the Dade’ massacre and of other Indian atrocities as early as January 4, but it was not until January 17 that it received official verification of the battle of the Withlacoochee.

Florida Historical Quarterly
Part I of this paper, which appeared in the last number of the Quarterly, recorded Call’s birth in Russellville, Kentucky; the removal, in his boyhood, to Tallahassee ; his early legal and political activities; his service in. the Confederate States army; his election to the United States Senate in 1865, and the refusal of that body to seat him; his removal to Jacksonville in 1867 or 1868; his defeat for United States senator in 1875; and his successive defeats for presidential elector on the Democratic ticket in 1868, 1872, and 1876. In connection with the latter, on page 113 of …
Anthropology In Florida, Rhea M. Smith
Anthropology In Florida, Rhea M. Smith
Florida Historical Quarterly
Any attempt to investigate the origin and customs of the aborigines of Florida through reliance on written materials is almost immediately frustrated by the paucity of such material and the scantiness of data available. Even an attempt to summarize the work done by field investigators leads to the baffling task of trying to reconcile conflicting theories, a condition that arises from the fact that the conclusions reached as to the origin, antiquity, and life of the early peoples of Florida are so indefinite. Yet there are few regions in the United States more abundantly supplied with mounds that call for …

Sir John Hawkins In Florida, Edgar Legare Pennington
Sir John Hawkins In Florida, Edgar Legare Pennington
Florida Historical Quarterly
The visit of Sir John Hawkins to the struggling and disheartened French colonists near the mouth of what is now the St. Johns River is one of the most interesting episodes of that age of gallantry and adventure. It illustrates extreme courtesy and generosity under circumstances when ruthlessness would have been expected ; thus we see why every school-boy instinctively admires the freebooting pirate. Besides, the consequences of that short stay were felt in a revitalized curiosity regarding the new world.

International Rivalry In The Creek Country Part I, The Ascendency Of Alexander Mcgillivray 1783-1789, Lawrence Kinnaird
Florida Historical Quarterly
The Creek nation with its lands situated in regions claimed both by Spain and the United States occupied a strategic position at the close of the War of the American Revolution. Since no treaty existed between the two countries the question of boundaries was left entirely for future determination. The Spaniards desired to extend the limits of the Floridas as far northward as possible; while the Americans wished to establish the boundary near the Gulf as specified in the treaty with Great Britain.
The Dade Massacre, Albert Hubbard Roberts
The Dade Massacre, Albert Hubbard Roberts
Florida Historical Quarterly
One who would write again of the Dade massacre, ninety-one years after its occurrence, must forego the expectation of discovering any great wealth of original data, and content himself in the main with the assembling of facts already published, and the elimination of more or less doubtful detail that has crept into former narratives, in an effort to bring into stronger relief a more or less neglected story of the American soldier’s courage and fidelity unto death. Every school-child has been taught the story of the Alamo, a tragedy enacted a scarce two months after the massacre of the Dade …
The Second Spanish-American War, A. H. Phinney
The Second Spanish-American War, A. H. Phinney
Florida Historical Quarterly

The article was entitled THE FIRST SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR. The following paper is a resume by the same author of an analogous incident in Florida history - the raid into Florida in the year 1818 by General Andrew Jackson.

The Nine Old Wooden Forts Of St. Augustine, Jeannette Thurber Conner
The Nine Old Wooden Forts Of St. Augustine, Jeannette Thurber Conner
Florida Historical Quarterly
Florida is the fortunate possessor of one of this country’s most interesting monuments of the past - the impressive Spanish fort at St. Augustine. The sketch of its history which the docile traveller hears, as he and other amiable sightseers follow the guide like lambs, seems for the most part colorless, sensational and incomplete.
Colonial Florida, Louis J. Mendelis
Colonial Florida, Louis J. Mendelis
Florida Historical Quarterly
The extent of territory and the duration of time covered by a subject so broad as Colonial Florida make an introductory note necessary. The name Florida once covered all the territory from the end of the Peninsula to Labrador. In Colonial times, before James Moore's destructive expedition, the name was confined to the present States of Florida and Georgia. Not until 1821 did the State acquire its present boundaries.
Senator Yulee: A Biographical Sketch By C. Wichliffe Yulee, C. Wickliffe Yulee
Senator Yulee: A Biographical Sketch By C. Wichliffe Yulee, C. Wickliffe Yulee
Florida Historical Quarterly
The adage that: no man is a hero to his valet, may be coupled with one that: every man is a hero to his child; which fact the writer promises to bear ever in mind, endeavoring to anticipate the modifications of those candid friends whose friendship is never so demonstrative as when clipping one’s wings. But it is a matter of some regret that a person who feels compelled thus to issue a self-denying ordinance, should have been selected to write, for the Florida Historical Society, the biography of Senator Yulee; since any historical narrative must have a strong element …
Richard Keith Call, Caroline Mays Brevard
Richard Keith Call, Caroline Mays Brevard
Florida Historical Quarterly
From the early days of the organization of the Territory of Florida the inevitable struggle between the red and the white man had been foreshadowed. There were collisions and depredations when the white man would venture into the Indian reserves, or when the Indian would venture upon the white man’s lands.
