Notes On U. S. Arsenals, Depots, And Martial Firearms Of The Second Seminole War, M. L. Brown
Notes On U. S. Arsenals, Depots, And Martial Firearms Of The Second Seminole War, M. L. Brown
Florida Historical Quarterly
Escalating complaints to the United States War Department about ineffectual ordnance management by the Corps of Artillery, coupled with the rapid technological evolution of innovative small arms systems and radical manufacturing techniques, prompted Congress to pass the act of April 5, 1832, which resurrected an independent Ordnance Department. Elevated a grade in rank and appointed Chief of Ordnance on May 30 was Lieutenant Colonel George Bomford, USA (1780-1848).
Dignity And Importance: Slavery In Jefferson County, Florida-1827 To 1860, Larry Rivers
Dignity And Importance: Slavery In Jefferson County, Florida-1827 To 1860, Larry Rivers
Florida Historical Quarterly
Jefferson County, formed January 16, 1827, from Leon County, was a part of the area then called middle Florida. Many settlers who migrated to this frontier area came with their slaves seeking cheap fertile land. Thomas Randall and his wife, Laura, arrived in 1827 from the Washington, D. C./Maryland area to buy inexpensive land, and a year later had their slaves brought down to them. John and Robert Gamble were among the first families of Jefferson to transport their slaves with them, in their case from Virginia. Other settlers, like the Randall and Gamble families, moved from Maryland, Virginia, North …
Following Bartram's "Track": Titian Ramsay Peale's Florida Journey, Charlotte M. Porter
Following Bartram's "Track": Titian Ramsay Peale's Florida Journey, Charlotte M. Porter
Florida Historical Quarterly
On Christmas Day 1817, Titian Ramsay Peale, the seventeen-year-old son of Charles Willson Peale, noted painter and founder of the nation’s first museum, left Philadelphia with zoologist George Ord and sailed to Savannah, Georgia. There they joined the wealthy geologist, William Maclure, and Thomas Say, whose pioneering work on American insects the self-styled “Dr. T. R. Peale” had begun to illustrate for publication. All four men, including young Titian, were officers of the newly incorporated Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia. As Academy president, Maclure generously supported members’ fieldwork, although the exact scientific expectations for this collecting trip into Florida …
Palm Trees, Public Relations, And Promoters: Boosting Southeast Florida As A Motion Picture Empire, 1910-1930, Richard Alan Nelson
Palm Trees, Public Relations, And Promoters: Boosting Southeast Florida As A Motion Picture Empire, 1910-1930, Richard Alan Nelson
Florida Historical Quarterly
While the greater Miami area today is the nexus of Florida’s continuing motion picture industry, this was not always the case. Historically, Jacksonville, and to a lesser extent Tampa, were the leading film centers of the state prior to 1920. This reflected their early importance as commercial and transportation hubs, but these advantages began to be outweighed as other areas within Florida also began to develop as popular location sites.

The Agrarians From The Perspective Of Fifty Years: An Essay Review, Willard B. Gatewood, Jr.
The Agrarians From The Perspective Of Fifty Years: An Essay Review, Willard B. Gatewood, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the fall of 1930 Harper and Brothers, an old and prestigious northern publishing house, brought out a collection of essays by “twelve Southerners,” entitled I’ll Take My Stand: The South and the Agrarian Tradition. Described at the time as a Southern or Southern Agrarian manifesto, the collection came into existence, according to one of the contributors, as “a sort of happening”— “a coalescence of circumstances and people and conditions” unlikely to reoccur. The contributors, known as the Agrarians, were for the most part natives of the rural, small-town areas of the westernmost South, and most at some point had …
Immigrant Women In Tampa: The Italian Experience, 1890-1930, Gary R. Mormino
Immigrant Women In Tampa: The Italian Experience, 1890-1930, Gary R. Mormino
Florida Historical Quarterly
The historical study of women, particularly immigrant women, has advanced dramatically over the past decade. Recent scholarship has rescued from neglect a great deal of historical material and has placed in clearer perspective the important roles played by women in American society. Ultimately, women’s history will be fully integrated into the pageantry of the American experience. Sufficient specialized studies to accomplish this goal, however, do not yet exist. More regional and local investigations detailing the histories of women in many different locations, time periods, and life situations are required.
Potter Committee Investigation Of The Disputed Election Of 1876, Karen Guenther
Potter Committee Investigation Of The Disputed Election Of 1876, Karen Guenther
Florida Historical Quarterly
On Saturday, March 3, 1877, Chief Justice Morrison B. Waite, in a private ceremony at the White House, swore into office Rutherford Birchard Hayes of Ohio as the nineteenth president of the United States. This event, culminating four months of controversy, resulted from the decision of a special electoral commission and a subsequent agreement known historically as the Compromise of 1877. Nevertheless, many Democrats still refused to concede the legitimacy of the Republican victory. When Congress reconvened shortly after the inauguration, several prominent House Democrats demanded a thorough investigation of the election. Consequently, in May 1878, the House established the …
Timucuan Rebellion Of 1656: The Rebolledo Investigation And The Civil-Religious Controversy, Fred Lamar Pearson, Jr.
Timucuan Rebellion Of 1656: The Rebolledo Investigation And The Civil-Religious Controversy, Fred Lamar Pearson, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
The Timucuan Indians rebelled in 1656 because they had been mistreated by the Spaniards. In particular, the Indians reacted against the forced labor policy which Governor Diego de Rebolledo had sought to impose on them. Forced labor had not originated in Florida during the Rebolledo Administration, but the manner in which the governor sought to carry out his policy proved galling to the Indians. Often when St. Augustine experienced frequent food shortages because of the uncertainty of the situado, governors turned to the provinces to procure corn to see the settlers through the difficulty. Apparently such a shortage existed in …
Florida's Capitols, Lee H. Warner
Florida's Capitols, Lee H. Warner
Florida Historical Quarterly
In mid-1982, after years of debate over the ultimate fate of its old capitol, a decision to restore part of the structure, over $7,000,000 spent, and four years of actual restoration work, the old building was again opened. By that time the executive and legislative branches of government were well settled in the new capitol and, surprising no one, expecting to construct still more office buildings to house their activities.

German Tourists In Florida: A Two-Century Record, Earl R. Beck
German Tourists In Florida: A Two-Century Record, Earl R. Beck
Florida Historical Quarterly
In 1981, 74,219 West German tourists landed in the airport in Miami. This figure, which represents over a ten per cent increase over 1980, does not take account of many Germans who came to Florida after landing elsewhere in the United States. Those thousands of Germans who visit Florida today are continuing the lively interest in this state which began more than two hundred years ago. But, strangely enough, the number of German accounts of Florida and its myriad lures has been quite small. Stranger still, while tourism has grown, German writing about Florida has declined, and some recent accounts …
Encounter At The Aucilla, 1862, Katharine Jackson Willis
Encounter At The Aucilla, 1862, Katharine Jackson Willis
Florida Historical Quarterly
The Civil War was more than dramatic sieges, heroic charges, and bloody encounters. There were numerous isolated and little-publicized acts of valor and triumph on both sides. If such affairs did not directly influence the outcome of the war, they hid a special poignance of their own. For Southerners who increasingly learned to endure the painful news of costly mistakes, defeats, and reversals, such individual triumphs were particularly welcome. One example of courage and success occurred on June 2, 1862, in a remote theatre of the conflict: Florida.
An Integrated Free School In Civil War Florida, Gerald Schwartz
An Integrated Free School In Civil War Florida, Gerald Schwartz
Florida Historical Quarterly
During the Federal occupation of Jacksonville in February 1864, an attempt was made by Dr. Esther Hill Hawks, an abolitionist lady from New Hampshire, to operate there the state’s first racially integrated free school. This kind of an integrated facility, fleeting though it proved to be, was among the first in any southern state.

Florida Legislative Committees: Their Growth Since 1822, Allen Morris
Florida Legislative Committees: Their Growth Since 1822, Allen Morris
Florida Historical Quarterly
Nine of the thirteen members of Florida’s first Legislative Council had reached Pensacola to take the oath of office on July 22, 1822. Officers were elected the following day, and a committee of two was appointed to advise Governor William P. DuVal that the council was ready to proceed to business. On the same day that the governor’s message was received by the council, segments of it were referred to committees of four members “with authority to report by bill or otherwise” on matters relating to the judiciary and revenue. In immediate succession, other committees of three to five members …

Religious Censuses Of Pensacola, 1796-1801, Florida Historical Society
Religious Censuses Of Pensacola, 1796-1801, Florida Historical Society
Florida Historical Quarterly
There are few population censuses for colonial Florida. For Pensacola, there are two civil name censuses for the second Spanish period, 1781-1821; one prepared under the direction of Governor Arturo O’Neill in 1784, and another directed by Governor José Callava in 1820. Other censuses of a statistical nature also exist, but like the name censuses, they were taken only periodically. A third list of Pensacola names was found among the records in the Spanish archives; Bishop Cirilo de Barcelona’s report of his Santa Visita (Holy Visit) of 1791 contained ninety-seven names of Pensacola residents who had complied with the annual …

The Great Seals Deputed Of British East Florida, Peter Waline
The Great Seals Deputed Of British East Florida, Peter Waline
Florida Historical Quarterly
The cession of the Spanish province of Florida to the British crown by the Treaty of Paris in 1763, and the subsequent division of the territory into the two British provinces of East and West Florida, brought in its wake the introduction of new legal and administrative arrangements. One of these was the replacement of the Spanish seal for the province by two British royal seals, one for each new province.
