Bernard Lintot: A Connecticut Yankee On The Mississippi, 1775-1805, Robin Fabel
Florida Historical Quarterly
Deciding where one’s allegiance lay and adhering to it in the era of the American Revolution was not always easy. Changing it was common but Bernard Lintot changed his an extraordinary number of times. He was successively a citizen of the colony of Connecticut, a loyalist inhabitant of British West Florida, a subject of the king of Spain, a citizen of the state of Connecticut, and finally a founding member of the United States Mississippi territory. He represented unusual continuity. His was one of the very few of the old families of Mississippi to establish itself there during the period …

War Clouds On The Mississippi: Spain's 1785 Crisis In West Florida, Gilbert C. Din
War Clouds On The Mississippi: Spain's 1785 Crisis In West Florida, Gilbert C. Din
Florida Historical Quarterly
"I look forward to a time, not very far distant, when . . . the whole [of Georgia] will be settled and connected . . . to the banks of the Mississippi." Judge George Walton of Wilkes County, Georgia, who spoke these words in 1785, visualized the expansion of his state after the assembly had that year enacted a law for the erection of Bourbon County on the Mississippi’s east bank. The new county extended along the Father of Waters from the Yazoo River to the thirty-first parallel. In creating it, Georgia based itself on the 1783 peace treaty with …
Educational Opportunities In Spanish West Florida, 1781-1821, Jack D. L. Holmes
Educational Opportunities In Spanish West Florida, 1781-1821, Jack D. L. Holmes
Florida Historical Quarterly
Governor Vicente Folch y Juan opened his son Stephen’s 1797 letter with eager hands. Due to the Anglo-Spanish war, communications to Pensacola had been delayed, and he was relieved to learn that both his sons were well. To his superior, Captain-General Conde de Santa Clara, at Havana, Governor Folch wrote, “The lack of opportunity which is generally true of these (frontier) places for providing the youth with an adequate education, has induced me to send my sons to London where they may learn English to perfection, such skill being of inestimable value in these provinces.“
A Lost Landmark Revisited: The Panton House Of Pensacola, Thomas D. Watson
A Lost Landmark Revisited: The Panton House Of Pensacola, Thomas D. Watson
Florida Historical Quarterly
Fire destroyed much of Pensacola during the night of September 24-25, 1848. Among the many buildings lost to the flames was the imposing, three-story brick mansion that once had served as the West Florida headquarters of Panton, Leslie and Company. For over half a century its columns had towered above the northern shoreline of Pensacola Bay as silent reminders of bygone years when William Panton, its builder and first occupant, had lorded it over the southern Indian trade from within its confines.

Arturo O'Neill: First Governor Of West Florida During The Second Spanish Period, Eric Beerman
Florida Historical Quarterly
An Irish lieutenant colonel in the Hibernia Regiment— Arturo O’Neill— gazed through the late afternoon haze that ninth day of March in 1781 and received his first look at Sigüenza Point on the western end of Santa Rosa Island at the entrance of Pensacola Bay. As the Spanish invasion fleet moved closer, Arturo O’Neill saw the hill behind Pensacola with British Fort George dominating the surrounding terrain. He no doubt felt a certain trepidation as the Spaniards would be making a nighttime assault on Sigüenza. However, this was not his baptism of fire and with veteran Hibernia troops around him, …
Loyalist Refugees And The British Evacuation Of East Florida, 1783-1785, Carole Watterson Troxler
Loyalist Refugees And The British Evacuation Of East Florida, 1783-1785, Carole Watterson Troxler
Florida Historical Quarterly
From the beginning of the American Revolution, the security afforded by the St. Augustine garrison attracted loyalists from nearby Georgia and the Carolinas to the British colony of East Florida. The stream of refugees fluctuated with the course of the war. It swelled in 1778, reflecting the confiscation and banishment acts, but reversed itself the following year in the wake of the British invasion of the southern colonies. The autumn of 1782 brought a flood of men who had gained the enmity of their neighbors by service in loyalist militia or provincial corps. They accompanied the British withdrawal, first from …

The "Coggins Affair": Desegregation And Mores In Madison County, Florida, Charlotte Downey-Anderson
The "Coggins Affair": Desegregation And Mores In Madison County, Florida, Charlotte Downey-Anderson
Florida Historical Quarterly
Madison, Florida, in the 1950s was a quiet, pretty town of approximately 3,000. The courthouse square which dominates the downtown area was surrounded by stores and was lined with Sabal palms. To the north and across the street from the courthouse there is a small city park with the “Four Freedoms” monument, built in memory of Army Air Corps Captain Colin P. Kelly, a World War II hero. Pleasant homes dot the oakshaded streets leading from the square. Madison is and was a typical southern town. During the 1950s and the 1960s, racial and social constraints were rigid in the …
West Florida's Forgotten People: The Creek Indians From 1830 Until 1970, Lucius F. Ellsworth
West Florida's Forgotten People: The Creek Indians From 1830 Until 1970, Lucius F. Ellsworth
Florida Historical Quarterly
The Indian population in West Florida was relatively small in 1830 when Congress passed the Indian Removal Act. In addition to the approximately 800 Creeks settled on reservations along the Apalachicola River, small groups of fifty to sixty people made their homes near Choctawhatchee Bay and Blackwater Bay, and a few Indians and half-bloods lived in Pensacola. From time to time individuals and small bands came to the area to hunt and fish, to find pasture for their cattle, and to obtain supplies in Pensacola.1 Most of the Indians had become at least partially acculturated. Some of the more isolated …
Passage To The New Eden: Tourism In Miami From Flagler Through Everest G. Sewell, Paul S. George
Passage To The New Eden: Tourism In Miami From Flagler Through Everest G. Sewell, Paul S. George
Florida Historical Quarterly
When Henry M. Flagler’s Florida East Coast Railway (FEC) steamed into Miami in April 1896, Florida was already on its way to becoming a tourist haven. With its salubrious climate and primeval setting, the state was, for many visitors a veritable paradise, an accessible Eden. This image was timeless. William Bartram, in his eighteenth-century account of a visit to Florida, described the area as “A blessed unviolated spot of earth . . . [a] blissful garden.” 1 Florida remained remote to most northerners until the middle of the nineteenth century, when a small stream of visitors began arriving, many of …

A Marriage Of Expedience: The Calusa Indians And Their Relations With Pedro Menéndez De Avilés In Southwest Florida, 1566-1569, Stephen Edward Reilly
Florida Historical Quarterly
Marriages have always offered architects of empire a means of creating political alliances between peoples. The wedding of Ferdinand and Isabella in 1469 brought together the kingdoms of Castile and Aragon, unifying Spain and making it a great power in Europe. In American colonial history, the marriage in 1614 of John Rolfe and the Indian princess Pocahontas bridged cultural differences to help create a brief era of peace between the English settlers in Virginia and the Powhatan Indians. Another example of intercultural union from American colonial history was the marriage in 1566 of Pedro Menéndez de Avilés, the adelantado of …

Soldiering With The Second Florida Infantry Regiment, John P. Ingle, Jr.
Soldiering With The Second Florida Infantry Regiment, John P. Ingle, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
Sixteen of Francis P. Fleming’s letters were published in the Florida Historical Quarterly, July and October 1949, and January 1950. The letter edited here was a gift to the Florida Historical Society by Elizabeth (Fleming) Hamilton Ingle, granddaughter of Francis Philip Fleming. Fleming (1841-1908) was an attorney, editor, governor of Florida (1889-1893), and third president of the Florida Historical Society. Born in Panama (now a section of Jacksonville), Florida, he was educated privately, and at the outbreak of the Civil War, at age nineteen, he enlisted as a private in the St. Augustine Rifles. This unit later became part of …

Frederick Douglass And The Building Of A Wall Of Anti-Slavery Fire, 1845-1846. An Essay Review, Willard B. Gatewood, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
A small but enthusiastic crowd gathered in the Music Hall in Leeds, England, on December 23, 1846, to hear an address by a fugitive slave from the United States whose freedom had been purchased by British abolitionists a few days earlier. The local merchant who presided at the meeting promised the audience that the speaker would demonstrate how the United States could realize its dream of becoming an exemplary land of freedom. Loud and prolonged cheering erupted as the tall, broad-shouldered black man, known as Frederick Douglass, stepped to the platform. Although Douglass had not fully recovered from an illness …

Art Is Long; Life Isn't Randolph Caldecott In America And In Florida, John Cech
Florida Historical Quarterly
Randolph Caldecott, the noted British illustrator, began his first and last visit to the United States and eventually to Florida in November 1885. Born in 1846, Caldecott was nearly forty and near the end of his life at the time of the journey. Friends had encouraged him to spend the worst part of the winter of 1885-1886 in St. Augustine, Florida, and the American South, away from the bleak English weather that often threatened to break his fragile health. Caldecott suffered, for most of his relatively short life, from a heart condition, the aftereffects of a childhood bout with rheumatic …

Abner attended school in Auburn and later Cooperstown, New York, before entering the United States Military Academy in 1838. Graduating in 1842, he stood number twenty-four academically in a class of fifty-six.
Spain's Sixteenth-Century North American Settlement Attempts: A Neglected Aspect, Eugene Lyon
Spain's Sixteenth-Century North American Settlement Attempts: A Neglected Aspect, Eugene Lyon
Florida Historical Quarterly
A somewhat neglected aspect of Spanish colonial aims and deeds in eastern North America was the settlement impulse. Due to historical hindsight and cultural stereotyping, the colonizing powers have often mistakenly been categorized: the English as settlers-farmers and artisans; the Spaniards as exploiters-bullion-seekers; and the Dutch and the French as traders devoted primarily to the Indian trade. In fact, comparative investigation would likely disclose more similarities than differences among the colonizing efforts in North America, given the varying cultural and institutional bases of the European powers.
Judge Herbert Rider And The Lynching At Labelle, Jerrell H. Shofner
Judge Herbert Rider And The Lynching At Labelle, Jerrell H. Shofner
Florida Historical Quarterly
When one thinks of Florida during the 1920s, it is usually the “land boom” which comes to mind. The astronomical increase in property values, the population explosion, the fantastic advertising, and then the cataclysmic hurricane in September 1926, which brought it to a sudden and traumatic end, have dominated historical thought and literature of that decade in Florida. Yet much more was happening, and the “boom” was both the symbol and the vehicle of these other activities. Floridians and their southern neighbors were feeling the forces of unwelcome change as never before. The old agricultural system was breaking up, cities …
