Lawlessness In Florida, 1848-1871, Ralph L. Peek
Lawlessness In Florida, 1848-1871, Ralph L. Peek
Florida Historical Quarterly
The clash of ideologies, conflicts over rights and status, and a struggle for power, all of which have marked man’s efforts to achieve a society satisfactory to himself, created an intense conflict in Florida during the years of Reconstruction, particularly in the period 1868-1871, In this bloody struggle the issue at stake was the possession of local, state, and national political and economic power, and this issue was colored and made more complex by social and racial elements, including the most virulent race hatred. The incipient conflict, created by the aftermath of war and the Reconstruction Acts of 1867, flared …
The Day Governor Cabrera Left Florida, Luis Rafael Arana
The Day Governor Cabrera Left Florida, Luis Rafael Arana
Florida Historical Quarterly
On Sunday, April 13, 1687, the presidio of St. Augustine, Florida was going about routine activities. Captain Antonio de Arguelles’ infantry company had guard duty, and the captain was at the presidio’s main guardhouse. A galliot, one of the vessels of the garrison’s naval complement, rode at anchor in Matanzas Bay. She was ready to sail that afternoon. Her crew (partly made up of sailors under contract for just that trip), supplies, arms (including 36 flintlock muskets), and ammunition, were already on board. Adjutant Juan Pinto, one of the three regular adjutants, was the galliot’s officer in charge.
The Loyalist Migration From East Florida To The Bahama Islands, Thelma Peters
The Loyalist Migration From East Florida To The Bahama Islands, Thelma Peters
Florida Historical Quarterly
During the American Revolution many Loyalists fled from the southern states and sought refuge in British East Florida. At the close of the war, when Florida changed hands again, these refugees as well as the British residents of Florida were forced to choose between living under the flag of Spain or seeking new homes elsewhere. Most of them left Florida and many of them established their new homes in the sprawling archipelago which is Florida’s neighbor to the east, the Bahama Islands
A Naval Visitor In British West Florida, Robert R. Rea
A Naval Visitor In British West Florida, Robert R. Rea
Florida Historical Quarterly
The world-wide explansion of the British Empire in the eighteenth century was dependent upon a navy whose officers were, of necessity, the most widely travelled men of their times. No less than frontiersmen, the holders of His Majesty’s commission were empire-builders. Seldom, however, were they fully conscious of the broader significance of their work or capable of literary exploitation of their experiences. John Blankett was an exception to this generalization. His career extended from the inland waters of North America to the Indian Ocean, from Russia to South Africa, from the English Channel to the Red Sea where he last …
The Story Of Florida's Migrant Farm Workers, Donald H. Grubbs
The Story Of Florida's Migrant Farm Workers, Donald H. Grubbs
Florida Historical Quarterly
The vacation-bound tourist en route to South Florida often follows highway A1A past the glittering motels, mile on mile, that dot the beaches of Florida’s Gold Coast, or chooses perhaps to drive along the flowing curves of the Sunshine State Parkway farther inland. There is a third route south to Miami, however, that is quite dissimilar from the better known pair; it is a highway of many repairs that is used principally by far less affluent travelers. The motorist who bumps along U. S. 441 sees limitless flat vistas of fertile ebony soil stretching out to the horizon, striped with …

Sectionalism In The Peace Convention Of 1861, Jesse L. Keene
Sectionalism In The Peace Convention Of 1861, Jesse L. Keene
Florida Historical Quarterly
While angry clouds gathered in the southern sky and some southern states enacted ordinances of secession providing for funds and cannons, while the people of the North went their way, declaring that only a sprinkle would come from the angry clouds in the South, the appointed state commissioners of twenty-one states assembled at the Willard Hotel in Washington, D. C., February 4, 1861, at 12 o’clock, pursuant to the resolutions adopted by the General Assembly of Virginia, January 19, 1861.
The Armed Occupation Act Of 1842, James W. Covington
The Armed Occupation Act Of 1842, James W. Covington
Florida Historical Quarterly
Throughout the history of advancing frontiers in many parts of the world there have been attractive offers of free land to brave and fool-hardy persons who would live at the dangerous edge of the advancing settlements. Such an offer was made to the retiring Roman legionnaires in the hope that they would live near the frontier line in Gaul and elsewhere and serve as added protection against the warlike German tribes. In 1630, a large tract of land was offered to each commander and fifty acres to other persons who would settle near the dangerous Pamunkey tribe in Virginia, and …
Zora Neale Hurston, Theodore Pratt
Zora Neale Hurston, Theodore Pratt
Florida Historical Quarterly
For many years, when giving talks in Florida, I have pointed out that there is only one first-class native-born Florida author who has written any even small body of work about the state. Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, Philip Wylie, and all the others were born elsewhere and adopted the Florida scene. The exception was Zora Neale Hurston. Seldom, on inquiry, had any of the audiences ever heard of her or known any of her work. At that point I revealed to the white southern audiences that Zora was a Negro. As I announced this I looked around for the nearest exit. …

The Avero Story: An Early Saint Augustine Family With Many Daughters And Many Houses, Charles W. Arnade
Florida Historical Quarterly
By November 10, 1702, the English forces led by the ruthless James Moore, Governor of English Carolina, had occupied the town of St. Augustine. Over 1500 people took refuge in the Spanish fort which the English never were able to conquer. For two months Moore besieged the fort. The Spanish artillery was weak and ineffectual in driving away the enemy; the English artillery was inadequate against the massive walls of the fort. Moore tried to place his guns within closer range of the moat. The Spanish, afraid of this maneuver, dispatched a patrol with orders to burn all houses within …

Philemon Thomas And The West Florida Revolution, Henry Eugene Sterkx
Philemon Thomas And The West Florida Revolution, Henry Eugene Sterkx
Florida Historical Quarterly
During the first decade of the nineteenth century many Americans moved into the Spanish province of West Florida. Some came to establish new homes or to engage in conspiracies against the weak Spanish government. Others came to escape justice or seek asylum from slavery. The province had a strange population made up of Englishmen, Frenchmen, Americans, traders, land speculators, army deserters, fleeing debtors, fugitives from justice, filibusterers, and others of infamous background. Moving into this milieu in 1805 was Philemon Thomas. This native of Virginia and ex-Kentuckian had led an interesting and exciting life. He was born in Orange County, …
German Espionage In Florida During World War Ii, Leon O. Prior
German Espionage In Florida During World War Ii, Leon O. Prior
Florida Historical Quarterly
Only one Florida resident was arrested and convicted by the United States government for performing German inspired espionage in Florida during World War II. This one misguided individual was forty-nine year old Carl Herman Schroetter, with aliases John Charles Post and Captain Jack Post. He was arrested at his residence, 220 Northwest 33rd. Avenue, Miami, Florida, on September 2, 1941, by special agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Upon arraignment before the United States Commissioner at Miami, Schroetter was charged with gathering and mailing information concerning the national defense to another German agent, Kurt Frederick Ludwig, in New York …

A Report On The Site Of Camp Finegan, William M. Jones
Florida Historical Quarterly
At the time of this writing, nearly a century has passed since the end of the “War of the Rebellion.” Many of the earthworks, and other types of defenses, constructed by the “Boys in Blue and in Gray,” have fallen victim to the ravages of time; still others are being leveled to make way for progress.

Mapping Old St. Joseph, Its Railroads, And Environs, Robert R. Hurst, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
Many people have heard the story of the old city of St. Joseph, which existed between 1836 and 1844 in the area of the present city of Port St. Joe, on the Gulf of Mexico, a score of miles from the mouth of the Apalachicola River. The story of St. Joseph has been told in many places and in conflicting forms. Novels and scholarly articles have been written about the city and the story of the destruction by fever and flood of “the wickedest city in the South” has been told in many sermons. Much of this legend is false, …

The Advent Of The Spanish-American War In Florida, 1898, William J. Schellings
Florida Historical Quarterly
On February 1, 1898, the Jacksonville Times Union and Citizen angrily denounced General Nelson Miles for what it termed an attempt to waste the taxpayers’ money. Miles had appeared before a Congressional committee with a plea for funds with which to build fortifications around Washington. The Jacksonville editor declared that there was “no war in sight,” and that the money might better be spent on the construction of an intracoastal waterway, a project already looming large in the minds of many Floridians. His denial of any need for defenses was merely another manner of expressing his stubborn opposition to anything …
Civil War Operations In And Around Pensacola Part Iii, Edwin C. Bearss
Civil War Operations In And Around Pensacola Part Iii, Edwin C. Bearss
Florida Historical Quarterly
Five days subsequent to the great artillery duel of November 22-23 Bragg endeavored to transmit mail to the Confederate prisoners held by the Yankees. Brown refused to receive the letters and even disdained to state his reasons for so doing. He was by no means as courteous and amiable as he had been after the attack on his outside confrere, Colonel Wilson. Later in the day a small yawl attempted to enter the bay from the fleet, a privilege heretofore accorded to the Federals, as until November 22 the Rebels’ vessels had been allowed to tie up at the navy …

Pensacola's Exiled Government, W. B. Skinner
Florida Historical Quarterly
Judah P. Benjamin, Confederate secretary of war, ordered General Braxton Bragg, commanding officer of Confederate forces at Pensacola, to send as many troops as he could to Tennessee. On February 18, 1862, Bragg issued orders to abandon Pensacola. Upon Bragg’s departure, General Sam Jones assumed the command with the instructions to destroy everything in the Pensacola area which might be of use to the Federal forces who occupied Fort Pickens on Santa Rosa Island. The destruction was completed by May 9th and the following day the Federals occupied Pensacola.
A 16th Century French "Mug Book" Brings To Light Interesting Comments On, Charles E. Bennett
A 16th Century French "Mug Book" Brings To Light Interesting Comments On, Charles E. Bennett
Florida Historical Quarterly
In 1584 Andre Thevet published in Paris a 16th century counterpart of the type of thing we call today a “mug book,” a book containing portraits and biographies of leading citizens of the time and place involved. He titled his book “Les Vrais Pourtraits et Vies des Hommes” and it was printed by Keruert. It deals with the important French leaders of the 16th century - 150 of them. One of them was Charles IX, for whom Fort Caroline was named. The last article in the book is about Saturiba, the well known Indian chief who befriended the Fort Caroline …
