Loss Of Identity On Pensacola's Past: A Creole Footnote, Donald H. Bragaw
Loss Of Identity On Pensacola's Past: A Creole Footnote, Donald H. Bragaw
Florida Historical Quarterly
Research into the status of Pensacola’s blacks during the progressive era uncovers an interesting sidelight into the history of the city’s Creole population. It is a glimpse into the decline of a once-proud tradition. It is also indicative of the Creole’s ambivalent posture as they were forced by increasing turn-of-the-century racist pressures to declare their allegiance to, or to throw in their lot with, the black or white race. In being forced to “declare” meant for many of the Creoles a loss of their separate identity.
Apalachee Indians, 1704-1763, James W. Covington
Apalachee Indians, 1704-1763, James W. Covington
Florida Historical Quarterly
One of Florida’s most tragic incidents occurred when Governor James Moore of South Carolina and his small army composed of 1,000 Indians and fifty whites moved into the Apalachee area of North Florida and laid waste to what had been the center of the Franciscan missions. Accounts of this raid describe the gallant defense made at Ayubale mission by Father Miranda and his neophytes, the defeat of the relief column from San Luis under command of Captain Ruiz Mexia, the torture of captives, the destruction of the Apalachee villages, and the removal of 3,000 or more Apalachees for resettlement in …
Cruise Of The Minnehaha, Pat Dodson
Cruise Of The Minnehaha, Pat Dodson
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the winter of 1891-1892 four men— three brothers, Stanley, Robert, and Edward Bullock, and their friend, A. E. Woodham — sailed a thirty-foot sloop, the Minnehaha, from Narcoossee on East Lake Tohopekaliga on a round trip down the Kissimmee River to Lake Okeechobee and out to the Gulf of Mexico via the Caloosahatchee River. They began the trip that fall down the Kissimmee River, opened a few years before by Hamilton Disston’s dredges. Leaving November 26, they reached Marco on January 9 and returned home February 8. They followed a tortuous route, covering about 1,000 miles in seventy-three days.
Tivoli Theatre Of Pensacola, Dian Lee Shelley
Tivoli Theatre Of Pensacola, Dian Lee Shelley
Florida Historical Quarterly
Pensacola during the 1820s was hardly more than a small frontier town, yet its citizens, with a predominately French and Spanish background, enthusiastically supported a theatre. Its importance is not that major theatrical personalities were attracted to the community, but that such a remote town, still the center of Indian trade, would welcome a theatre at all. The desire and support of dramatic entertainment suggests a different perspective from the conception of Pensacola during this period as a raw frontier town surrounded by wilderness.

Tacatacuru And The San Pedro De Mocamo Mission, Jerald T. Milanich
Tacatacuru And The San Pedro De Mocamo Mission, Jerald T. Milanich
Florida Historical Quarterly
Dr. William R. Bullard of the Florida State Museum and this author made an archeological survey of Cumberland Island, Georgia, in June 1970, primarily to locate prehistoric Indian village sites. An extensive shell midden area displaying Spanish and historic Indian ceramics was found, and a preliminary surface collection was made. In the next several weeks more samples of surface material were secured, and from these artifacts and from physical characteristics of the site, information regarding the historic and proto-historic aboriginal occupations of the island can be derived. It seems likely that this was the site of the Timucuan village of …
John Bull's Stinginess In East Florida, Claude C. Sturgill
John Bull's Stinginess In East Florida, Claude C. Sturgill
Florida Historical Quarterly
There is no doubt that in the British imperial heaven the scheme of things after 1763 called for the Floridas to become to the American South what Lake George and Quebec were to the American North. A brief study of British regiments in St. Augustine in the eighteenth century demonstrates how military units were assigned to East Florida. Unfortunately the article brings into print once again, although this time through omission, what is proving to be the myth of the financial plight of the Floridas during the period of English occupation. Professor Charles Loch Mowat’s writings also accepted the theory …

The Labor League Of Jacksonville: A Negro Union And White Strikebreakers, Jerrell H. Shofner
Florida Historical Quarterly
After the Civil War the Florida lumber industry quickly recovered and expanded until it became a major factor in the state’s economy. Yellow pine lumber and heavy timber was being shipped from Florida to domestic, European, and Latin American ports in large quantities by 1873. In that year twenty sawmills near Jacksonville employed hundreds of laborers. Lumber was surpassed only by tourism in relative importance to the city’s economy. City leaders were predicting prosperity and growth on the basis of an expanding lumber industry and tourist trade. In April, 6,660,000 superficial feet of lumber was loaded on schooners and a …

Sunday, the 24th of April dawned with horizons and sky clear and wind favorable from the NE. At 6:00 A.M. after hearing the Holy Sacrifiice of the Mass, we departed the vessel with the longboat and canoe, both armed, in which the following men went: Frigate Lieutenant Don José Jiménez; Don Fraucisco Maria Celi; Don Juan Franco, a draftsman from the navy yard by the stream;55 the carpenter and the caulker of the xebec; and fifteen seamen. All this was in expectation of drawing a chart, and of surveying the forests and pines for masts, their quality, length, and thickness. …
Slavetrading In Antebellum Florida, Julia F. Smith
Slavetrading In Antebellum Florida, Julia F. Smith
Florida Historical Quarterly
Much of the slave trade in Florida centered in Tallahassee, the heart of the cotton belt. New Orleans was perhaps the largest southern slave market. Negro-traders, characters looked down upon by all, purchased slaves there “from the block” at public outcry. Most of the supply for Florida planters was brought in by these traders. They came to St. Marks by ship and then on to Tallahassee to dispose of their cargoes. The blacks were kept in the public jail or in “slave pens,” special buildings designed with cells, until time of sale. The auctions were widely advertised in advance, and …

Claude Pepper And The Florida Canal Controversy, 1939-1943, Alexander R. Stoensen
Florida Historical Quarterly
The dream of a waterway across Florida from the Atlantic Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico long has captured the imagination. In 1595 Spanish cartographers depicted one across the peninsula, a mistake assumed correct for nearly 200 years. During the British period in Florida, the royal government conducted a survey to determine if such a route existed, and in 1788 the United States army produced a sketch map of the area, although by that time it was clear no watercourse existed. Later, Thomas Jefferson’s administration exhibited the first high-level American interest in the construction of a waterway—an interest which has …

Alexander Hamilton's Florida Policy, Gilbert L. Lycan
Alexander Hamilton's Florida Policy, Gilbert L. Lycan
Florida Historical Quarterly
Alexander Hamilton had a greater interest in Florida and spoke of it more often than any other prominent American of his period. While still living in the West Indies, he worked for Beckman and Cruger at Christiansed, and during a part of that time he was in charge of their commercial activities. Whenever he looked at a map of North America, which he often did in the course of his activities, he saw first of all the peninsula of Florida pointing out toward his homeland. Throughout his life Hamilton was aware of the importance of Florida in the future of …

Tampa Bay In 1757: Francisco Maria Celi's Journal And Logbook, Part 1, John D. Ware
Florida Historical Quarterly
For almost two centuries following their discovery and exploration Tampa Bay lay virtually neglected by the Spanish. Then, in 1756, for a variety of reasons, they seemed to awake to the potential of the area, and they authorized two surveys. The first, made by Juan Baptista Franco in the closing months of 1756, was but briefly recorded. Perhaps because of the brevity of this report a second survey was sought by Señor Don Lorenzo de Montalbo, comisario ordenador de marina, principal naval minister in Cuba. The mission was entrusted to Don Francisco Maria Celi, pilot of the Spanish Royal Fleet, …
Florida After Secession: Abandonment By The Confederacy And Its Consequences, John F. Reiger
Florida After Secession: Abandonment By The Confederacy And Its Consequences, John F. Reiger
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the early months of 1861, some Florida citizens seemed to feel that the approaching conflict would be diversion rather than tragedy. On January 12, the day after the state seceded, a detachment of Florida and Alabama troops seized the navy yard at Pensacola. They were accompanied by a jovial throng of townspeople who found the event greatly entertaining. Other Floridians believed that the government would not fight to preserve the Union, or if it did fight, that the efforts would be cowardly and short. Throughout the state, prominent men offered to drink all the blood spilt in any struggle …
Tallahassee Through The Storebooks, 1843-1863: Antebellum Cotton Prosperity, Clifton Paisley
Tallahassee Through The Storebooks, 1843-1863: Antebellum Cotton Prosperity, Clifton Paisley
Florida Historical Quarterly
Few things stirred more interest than the planting, harvesting and marketing of cotton in mid-nineteenth-century Tallahassee. In April 1849, cotton was in the ground and prospects looked bright despite a severe freeze on April 15. There was some apprehension that the unexpected cold had badly damaged and perhaps had destroyed the young plants, but these fears were quickly allayed. The freeze was even more severe in the Carolinas, Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi, and the damage in those areas indicated a likely increase in cotton prices from the seven or eight cents a pound of recent years. In addition to cotton, …
