Sixteenth Century English-Spanish Rivalry In La Florida, Leitch Wright, Jr.
Sixteenth Century English-Spanish Rivalry In La Florida, Leitch Wright, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
For many years after its discovery la Florida was a vague geographical concept. Discovered by Ponce de Leon in 1513, it was first considered an island, though later recognized to be a diminutive tail wagging an immense dog. During much of the sixteenth century it embraced a large part of the Atlantic and Gulf coasts and stretched mysteriously inland an infinite way. Ponce de Leon was followed by numerous other conquistadors such as Vazquez de Ayllon, Panfilio de Narvaez, Hernando de Soto, and Tristan de Luna y Arrellano, but they garnered little gold or silver and endured many privations, shipwrecks, …

The 1789 Saint Augustine Celebration, Helen Hornbeck Tanner
Florida Historical Quarterly
One of the most elaborate celebrations of Saint Augustine’s colonial history occurred in December, 1789, when the civilian and military populations joined in honoring Charles IV’S ascension to the Spanish throne. Parades, theatricals, religious services and soirees with dancing till dawn were features of the three day festival beginning the afternoon of December 2.

Governor Folch And The Burr Conspiracy, Adam Szaszdi
Governor Folch And The Burr Conspiracy, Adam Szaszdi
Florida Historical Quarterly
The strange episode of American history, the Burr conspiracy, can be considered nowadays a well-known story, and the more so since the publication of Professor Abernethy’s work, The Burr Conspiracy (1954). However, even though pertinent Spanish documents have been taken into consideration, the usual tendency is to view the subject from the perspective of those operating within the United States. Therefore, it should be an interesting experiment to cross the Florida boundary and place ourselves in the shoes of the Spanish authorities of that time.
Suggestions For Research In The Culture And Society Of A Spanish Florida, William B. Griffen
Suggestions For Research In The Culture And Society Of A Spanish Florida, William B. Griffen
Florida Historical Quarterly
Florida was established as a functional part of the Spanish colonies in 1565. Saint Augustine was from the beginning the focal point of the Spanish Empire in Florida from which the social and cultural influences of the Iberian civilizers were radiated into the hinterland, transforming to some degree both the physical environment and the human groups bearing different ways of life which were encountered. But, not only from the standpoint of Spanish-Indian culture contact and acculturation does early Florida hold interest for the anthropologist. The imported European culture is also of tremendous importance to be understood in the development of …
The Irish Brigade Of Spain At The Campture Of Pensacola, 1781, W. S. Murphy
The Irish Brigade Of Spain At The Campture Of Pensacola, 1781, W. S. Murphy
Florida Historical Quarterly
The capture of Pensacola by Bernardo de Galvez, in May, 1781, five months before the British surrender at Yorktown constituted the only exciting military exploit of Spain during the American Revolution. It was an interesting Spanish contribution to the fortunate outcome of the war. The Spanish victory in Pensacola required the services of 6,500 Spanish troops, a sizeable Spanish naval ancillary, and the aid of 725 French soldiers with their own ships. This force included a substantial representation from the Irish Brigade of Spain, one of the most celebrated corps of the Spanish army. This article will sketch the unfolding …

The Journals Of Lieutenant John Pickell, 1836-1837, Frank L. White, Jr.
The Journals Of Lieutenant John Pickell, 1836-1837, Frank L. White, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
During the summer of 1837, virtually all military operations against the Seminoles ceased. For several months after General Thomas S. Jesup’s agreement with the Indians in March, only sporadic fighting had occurred in Florida. The Army was employed in encouraging the Indians to assemble for emigration to the West as provided by the truce and in exploring the country. At the same time, however, additional troops were arriving to resume hostilities, if this should become necessary. The Seminoles, on the other hand, used this period to delay their embarkation and at the same time to continue their attacks upon white …
A Massachusetts Traveller On The Florida Frontier, Arthur W. Thompson
A Massachusetts Traveller On The Florida Frontier, Arthur W. Thompson
Florida Historical Quarterly
The following passage is an excerpt from the travel diary of W. T. Allen. Leaving his home in Leominster, Massachusetts, on March 12, 1852, Allen enjoyed a forty-nine day tour of the Eastern portion of the United States. He journeyed by rail and boat to New York City and then by boat to Savannah, Georgia, and Florida. His stay in Florida lasted sixteen days, from March 21st to April 6th, and the account of his experiences on the Florida frontier comprises about fifteen of the fifty-five pages of his diary. After leaving Florida, Allen travelled to Savannah, Macon, Montgomery, Mobile, …
Trade Relations Between Southwestern Florida And Cuba, 1600-1840, James W. Covington
Trade Relations Between Southwestern Florida And Cuba, 1600-1840, James W. Covington
Florida Historical Quarterly
When Cuba had been settled by the Spanish, heavy inroads were made into the nearby supply of edible fish, and the Havana fishing interests were forced to look elsewhere for a ready source. Southwestern Florida with its almost inexhaustible schools of drum, redfish, mullet, pompano, and grouper was situated only a short distance away and easily fitted into the Havana market situation. The combination of the excellent Cuban market and the nearby available supply of edible fish proved to be a business opportunity which would be profitable for many years for the inhabitants of both the island of Cuba and …

The Return Of Runaway Slaves 1790-1794, Richard K. Murdoch
Florida Historical Quarterly
Among the duties assumed by the federal government after the ratification of the constitution was the general supervision over relations with the Indians living both within and without what were generally claimed to be the national boundaries. This assumption of authority was resented by many of the frontier residents long accustomed to dealing directly with the Indians. They were convinced, rightfully or wrongfully, that all savages were to be mistrusted, that the so-called Indian lands were open to seizure and settlement by the first to arrive on the scene, and that there was nothing illegal or immoral in acquiring the …
The Spanish Dance, Louis Capron
The Spanish Dance, Louis Capron
Florida Historical Quarterly
All through the early social history of Florida runs mention of “the Spanish Dance.” Authorities agree that, until after the war between the States, it and the waltz were far and away the favorite dances. But today, a hundred years later, is has disappeared as completely as though it never existed. It is never danced. Nothing answering its description is to be found in books on the dance, encyclopedias or histories of the dance. Two years of search and inquiry brought out not a single person who had even heard of it. “The Spanish Dance is peculiar to Florida,” Ellen …

Fred N. Varn's Account Book, 1869-1875, Fred N. Varn
Florida Historical Quarterly
During the period following the Civil War, Florida slowly regained her economic balance, and a few industries began to prosper in a moderate sort of way. The interior part of the lower peninsula was hampered by a shortage of currency, and many persons resorted to a barter system. The records kept by Fred N. Varn, who operated a store and tannery on his farm situated two miles from Fort Meade, illustrate this type of barter.

Reminiscences Or A Florida Pioneer: John M. Mcintosh, Samuel Proctor
Florida Historical Quarterly
Comparatively few pioneers of nineteenth-century Florida left accounts of their lives or the times in which they lived. So engrossed were they in constructing the material and cultural foundations of a new state that they had little time for recording their experiences and observations.
"Early Birds" Of Florida, Walter P. Fuller
"Early Birds" Of Florida, Walter P. Fuller
Florida Historical Quarterly
St. Petersburg is the proud and jealous owner of the title of home port of “The first regularly scheduled commercial Airline in the world.” This despite the fact it acquired the title quite accidentally; the unexpected result of a rather casual and typical publicity stunt sponsored by one of its early day flamboyant “characters,” one Noel A. Mitchell.
Manrique De Rojas' Report On French Settlement In Florida, Lucy L. Wenhold
Manrique De Rojas' Report On French Settlement In Florida, Lucy L. Wenhold
Florida Historical Quarterly
The French Huguenot Jean Ribaut had led an expedition to Florida in 1562, where he set up stone columns bearing the arms of France and established the tiny settlement of Charlesfort at Port Royal. Philip II of Spain protested to the French government against this threat to Spanish trade and territorial claims, and then, in 1563, he directed the governor of Cuba to remove the French markers and to destroy the French fort. The mission was assigned by the governor of Cuba to Hernando Manrique de Rojas. Captain Manrique’s instructions and his report, given here in translation, were taken from …
