Filibustering With The “Dauntless”, Richard V. Rickenbach
Filibustering With The “Dauntless”, Richard V. Rickenbach
Florida Historical Quarterly
Through the indefatigable efforts of Jose A. Huau and Alphonso Fritot, Jacksonville was an active center of filibustering to Cuba in the years 1895-98. Huau was important for his local influence, and his store on the corner of Bay and Main streets served as the clearing house for negotiations of the filibusterers. It seems now that it would have been all but impossible for the revolutionaries to be successful had they not had the aid of Fritot, for he was the joint agent of all the railroads running into Jacksonville. 1 He had the power of being able to secure …

Now Is The Time, Florida Historical Society
Florida Historical Quarterly
Local histories are the foundation stones of State history. Florida, which is far behind its neighbors in the knowledge of its history, is beginning to catch up. A number of local and regional associations are organized, and some are collecting and preserving the historical material of their areas. Miami, Jacksonville, Pensacola, St. Petersburg, Palm Beach, the Manatee region, and others have collections. An important recent addition is the Tampa area with its Hillsborough County Historical Commission. There is a revival of historical effort in St. Augustine, the gem of Florida’s historic past, with the collection and work of the St. …

Negro Slavery In Florida, Part Ii, Edwin L. Williams, Jr.
Negro Slavery In Florida, Part Ii, Edwin L. Williams, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
As the plantation regime expanded in territorial Florida and the Negro population became more numerous it became necessary that the slave system should be supported by statutory law. The purpose of the law was primarily to control the slave through a strict regulation of the system, and only incidentally to give him protection from ill usage. In 1828 the Legislative Council laid the legal basis for future legislation concerning Negro slaves by the passage of an act which stated that “slaves shall be deemed, held, and taken as personal property for every purpose whatever." This act placed the Negro slave …

The National Farmers’ Alliance Convention Of 1890, And Its “Ocala Demands”, Samuel Proctor
Florida Historical Quarterly
Probably there were none as surprised or as pleased as were Florida’s four delegates to the National Farmers’ Alliance Convention when it was decided that the 1890 meeting of the National Alliance Supreme Council would be held in Jacksonville. Politically a part of the “solid South”, and with a population of only a few thousand, it seemed scarcely possible that frontier Florida would be chosen, nor could it well play host to any national organization, even one as politically adolescent as was the National Farmers’ Alliance in 1889. However, Florida’s invitation was accepted by the convention which met in St. …

Political Factions In Territorial Florida, Herbert J. Doherty, Jr.
Political Factions In Territorial Florida, Herbert J. Doherty, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the early days of the territorial period, politics in Florida were largely of a personal nature as certain men of wealth and education became the natural leaders of the political life on the frontier. When Florida became a United States territory there was nominally only one political party, and political lines nationally were in a state of flux. Consequently, while the settlers of Florida usually came with definite political ideas, they were not tied to a party nor did they bring readymade ideas of party with them.
Hernando De Miranda, Governor Of Florida 1575-1577, Ray E. Held
Hernando De Miranda, Governor Of Florida 1575-1577, Ray E. Held
Florida Historical Quarterly
Second in the list of governors of Spanish Florida stands the name of one Hernando de Miranda. An almost unknown figure, he was for two years King Philip II’s adelantado, captain-general, and governor for the royal provinces of Florida. Following the rule of the first governor, the famous and able commander, Pedro Menendez de Aviles, Miranda’s brief administration (1575 to 1577) occurred at a time when Florida, having been made secure against the French, was settling down into the two centuries of the relatively obscure first Spanish colonial period. That Miranda was succeeded in turn by another capable governor, Pedro …
Negro Slavery In Florida, Edwin L. Williams, Jr.
Negro Slavery In Florida, Edwin L. Williams, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
Negro slavery existed in Florida long before it became American territory and the Negro began to play his part in the drama of Florida history at a very early date. If we are to credit the narrative of Cabeca De-Vaca, as translated by Buckingham Smith, at least two Negroes accompanied the Narvaez expedition to Florida in 1528, though no mention is made as to whether they were slave or free. One of these Negroes was among the few survivors of this ill-fated expedition who finally reached Mexico. A few Negro slaves accompanied the great expedition of Hernando DeSoto when it …

No Home For The Society In Tallahassee, Florida Historical Society
No Home For The Society In Tallahassee, Florida Historical Society
Florida Historical Quarterly
The governments of many states provide homes for and give other aid to their State historical societies. At the annual meeting of the Society in 1947 the question of asking for space in some State owned building in Tallahassee was discussed and a resolution was adopted requesting the Society’s Legislative Committee to draft such a bill and endeavor to secure its passage, but no agreement was to be made that the Society would accept the space that might be offered.

In continuation of its series of quarterly program meetings, the Jacksonville Historical Society presented two addresses on February 10 before a large gathering of the history-minded. Mrs. Margaret Fleming Biddle carried her hearers back to early days in picturing "Hibernia, Fleming’s Island" - a picture which should be recorded in print so that others now and in after years might see the picture too.

Tequesta: The Journal of the Historical Association of Southern Florida, has appeared since our last number. It is issued annually and this is number eight. Throughout it is on the high level of former issue sand more, this is the best number yet. The last three issues have been under the direction of Dr. Charlton W. Tebeau as editor, and his policy has been to confine the articles to subjects of South Florida interest, the result is that the history of that region is steadily being written and published.
Letters Of The Invaders Of East Florida, 1812, Rembert W. Patrick
Letters Of The Invaders Of East Florida, 1812, Rembert W. Patrick
Florida Historical Quarterly
In September, 1812, a small detachment of the United States Army, commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel Thomas A. Smith, was camped near Moosa Old Fort. Not more than five hundred yards from the American forces was the unkempt and open quarters of a small band of men who called themselves the “Patriots of East Florida." Just across the San Sebastian river from these camps lay the town of St. Augustine with its formidable fort, Castillo de San Marcos, manned by Spanish regulars and colored militia from the Spanish West Indian possessions.

The writer of these letters, Francis P. Fleming (governor of Florida 1889-1893), was born at Panama, Duval county, Sept. 28, 1841; he enlisted as a private, July 13, 1861, in the St. Augustine Rifles which later became Company H., 2nd Florida Infantry Regiment of the famous Florida Brigade commanded by General E. A. Perry. The 2nd Florida served as part of the Army of Virginia. The letters are a part of the Fleming Papers in the Florida Historical Society library at St. Augustine, recently presented to the Society by Mrs. Hester Fleming Williams.
The Political Activity Of The Freedmen’S Bureau In Florida, George R. Bentley
The Political Activity Of The Freedmen’S Bureau In Florida, George R. Bentley
Florida Historical Quarterly
In its first five months the Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen, and Abandoned Lands was completely inactive in Florida. An assistant commissioner - that is, state head of the Bureau - was appointed early enough, but he had charge also of Georgia and South Carolina, and he limited both his interests and his activities to the Palmetto State. He was General Rufus Saxton, an ardent abolitionist and a long-time protege of Salmon P. Chase. During most of the war he had been in charge of the Sea Islands Experiment with free Negro labor. In the early months of the Freedmen’s Bureau …

Diego Pena’S Expedition To Apalachee And Apalachicolo In 1716, Mark F. Boyd
Diego Pena’S Expedition To Apalachee And Apalachicolo In 1716, Mark F. Boyd
Florida Historical Quarterly
Prior to the settlement of Charles Town in 1670, the Spanish, through the mission reductions, dominated many of the southeastern Indian tribes. Although the mission Indians generally accepted the discipline imposed, several revolts against Spanish rule nevertheless occurred, the suppression of which doubtless produced many malcontents. Furthermore the Spanish regarded the English settlement of Carolina as an encroachment on Spanish territory, although evidently not unwelcome by Indians who had become hostile to the Spaniards.
