Fred N. Varn's Account Book, 1869-1875, Fred N. Varn
Florida Historical Quarterly
During the period following the Civil War, Florida slowly regained her economic balance, and a few industries began to prosper in a moderate sort of way. The interior part of the lower peninsula was hampered by a shortage of currency, and many persons resorted to a barter system. The records kept by Fred N. Varn, who operated a store and tannery on his farm situated two miles from Fort Meade, illustrate this type of barter.
Reminiscences Or A Florida Pioneer: John M. Mcintosh, Samuel Proctor
Reminiscences Or A Florida Pioneer: John M. Mcintosh, Samuel Proctor
Florida Historical Quarterly
Comparatively few pioneers of nineteenth-century Florida left accounts of their lives or the times in which they lived. So engrossed were they in constructing the material and cultural foundations of a new state that they had little time for recording their experiences and observations.
"Early Birds" Of Florida, Walter P. Fuller
"Early Birds" Of Florida, Walter P. Fuller
Florida Historical Quarterly
St. Petersburg is the proud and jealous owner of the title of home port of “The first regularly scheduled commercial Airline in the world.” This despite the fact it acquired the title quite accidentally; the unexpected result of a rather casual and typical publicity stunt sponsored by one of its early day flamboyant “characters,” one Noel A. Mitchell.
Manrique De Rojas' Report On French Settlement In Florida, Lucy L. Wenhold
Manrique De Rojas' Report On French Settlement In Florida, Lucy L. Wenhold
Florida Historical Quarterly
The French Huguenot Jean Ribaut had led an expedition to Florida in 1562, where he set up stone columns bearing the arms of France and established the tiny settlement of Charlesfort at Port Royal. Philip II of Spain protested to the French government against this threat to Spanish trade and territorial claims, and then, in 1563, he directed the governor of Cuba to remove the French markers and to destroy the French fort. The mission was assigned by the governor of Cuba to Hernando Manrique de Rojas. Captain Manrique’s instructions and his report, given here in translation, were taken from …
The Shaker Community In Florida, Russell H. Anderson
The Shaker Community In Florida, Russell H. Anderson
Florida Historical Quarterly
Many residents of Osceola County, Florida, recall a kindly though strange religious group, the Shakers, who once lived near present day St. Cloud-but the memory of these good people is fading. It should be recorded that beginning in 1894, Osceola County was the scene of one of the later efforts of an outstanding utopian movement in America-that of the Shaker religious group.
Zespedes And The Southern Conspiracies, Helen Hornbeck Tanner
Zespedes And The Southern Conspiracies, Helen Hornbeck Tanner
Florida Historical Quarterly
The peace treaty by which the American colonists gained their independence in 1783 created a situation along their southern border almost designed, it seemed, to provoke hostility. By the treaty, the provinces of East and West Florida, which had belonged to Britain for the previous twenty years and had remained loyal to the Crown, were returned to Spain. Thus Europe’s oldest colonial power regained a foothold on the southeastern seaboard of North America, but now was threatened by an ambitious young republic - the first independent nation in the western hemisphere. Furthermore, a portion of the border remained in dispute …
Northerners In Late Nineteenth Century Florida: Carpetbaggers Or Settlers?, Maurice M. Cance
Northerners In Late Nineteenth Century Florida: Carpetbaggers Or Settlers?, Maurice M. Cance
Florida Historical Quarterly
Interpretations, both popular and professional, of the influence of Northerners on the history of Florida have been characterized by two major concepts. Today the subject of northern immigration brings first to our minds the thought of the tourist and the settler, persons whose constructive roles in the development of the state need no affirmation. As we think of northern immigration in the late nineteenth century, however, our attitudes are colored by another label - that of the carpetbagger. The carpetbagger was of course a Yankee scoundrel up to no good, a corrupting element in southern society from the Old Dominion …

Early Churches Of Pensacola, Lelia Abercrombie
Early Churches Of Pensacola, Lelia Abercrombie
Florida Historical Quarterly
The church is certainly among the most important factors in the building of any city. Neither wealth nor a large population of themselves make a community a pleasant place in which to live; more important is an atmosphere of goodwill and kindness. To develop such an atmosphere the fundamental religious principles of the Church are needed.
Railroads Out Of Pensacola, 1833-1883, Charles H. Hildreth
Railroads Out Of Pensacola, 1833-1883, Charles H. Hildreth
Florida Historical Quarterly
The opening of the three-mile Quincy [Mass.] Railroad in 1827 marked a general change of emphasis in transportation in the United States. Visionaries suffering from “canal fever” discovered “railroad fever” to be an excellent antidote for the disease and one which allowed the mind to envision schemes not limited by the natural waterways of the nation. Florida, a part of the Union for slightly more than a decade, became the setting in 1833, for one of the most ambitious of these early plans.

Newspapers Of Pensacola, 1821-1900, Horance G. Davis, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
Brigands, camp followers, speculators, gamblers and soldiers-of-fortune made Pensacola a gay city in 1821 as the populace, swelled to some 4,000, awaited the triumphant entry of the conquering hero, General Andrew Jackson. Florida, international pawn long coveted by the United States, was to be relinquished by Spain. Andrew Jackson and his troops had invaded the area twice since 1814, but diplomacy had foiled United States territorial ambitions. Now at last Florida was to be ceded to the United States, and provisional governor Andrew Jackson was expected momentarily at Pensacola, the seat of Florida government. Only Spanish loyalists viewed the gaiety …
Pensacola In Retrospect: 1870-1890, Occie Clubbs
Pensacola In Retrospect: 1870-1890, Occie Clubbs
Florida Historical Quarterly
The yellow pine was the backbone of the economy of the Pensacola region and the source of several individual fortunes during the decades of this article. As early as 1826 E. E. Simpson had constructed a water-mill at Woodbine to carry out his contract to furnish lumber for certain buildings at the Pensacola Navy Yard then under construction. In 1841 John Hunt built the first steam sawmill. Though both of these were in what is now Santa Rosa County, that area was Escambia County then, and Pensacola was headquarters and received the stimulus and financial benefit from their operations.
Battle Of Santa Rosa Island, J. L. Larkin
Battle Of Santa Rosa Island, J. L. Larkin
Florida Historical Quarterly
Presumably as an attempt to take Fort Pickens, though this was denied by the Confederates, an attack was made on the night of October 9 (1861) on the encampment of Federal troops on Santa Rosa Island east of the fort.
Pensacola In The War For Southern Independence, Julien C. Yonge
Pensacola In The War For Southern Independence, Julien C. Yonge
Florida Historical Quarterly
Patriotic ardor grew steadily in Pensacola during the latter part of 1860 and reached a height when Florida seceded from the Union on January 10, 1861. Two companies of volunteers had already been organized there: the Pensacola Guards with A. H. Bright as captain, and the Rifle Rangers, Edward A. Perry, captain.
Ante-Bellum Pensacola: 1821-1860, Herbert J. Doherty, Jr.
Ante-Bellum Pensacola: 1821-1860, Herbert J. Doherty, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
The morning sun over Pensacola on July 17, 1821, shone on a scene of historic pageantry not since repeated in Florida’s history. During the early hours of that day a full company of Spanish troops, dismounted dragoons of the regiment of Tarragona who were elegantly clad and equipped, paraded in the plaza before the Government House. A few miles away, through the flat piney woods, came elements of the Fourth United States Infantry and Fourth United States Artillery regiments with flags flying and band playing. At their heads rode the gaunt gray figure of Andrew Jackson. After almost two months …

Panton, Leslie, And Company, Indian Traders Of Pensacola And St. Augustine, J. A. Brown
Florida Historical Quarterly
The North American peace settlement of 1783 confirmed the Spanish in their reconquest of Pensacola and returned His Catholic Majesty’s banner to the bastions of the Castillo de San Marcos at St. Augustine; however, it did not end - but rather intensified - the struggle for the allegiance and trade of the 45,000 Indians on the Florida frontier. A new and dynamic United States, surging to the Mississippi, and from its Bahamas outpost a covetous England, intrigued with the savages to turn the Spanish out, and failing that, to divert to their own nationals and treasuries a part at least …
Pensacola During The Second Spanish Period, L. N. Mcalister
Pensacola During The Second Spanish Period, L. N. Mcalister
Florida Historical Quarterly
On the first day of January, 1777, an event in New Orleans was to have important consequences for the history of Pensacola: Bernardo de Galvez formally assumed the governorship of Louisiana. Galvez was typical of the colonial officials who were appointed during that Indian Summer of Spanish Imperial history, the reign of Charles III. A career officer in the royal armies, he had already distinguished himself in several theaters: first in Portugal, then in Mexico against the Indians on the northern frontier where, under his famous uncle Jose de Galvez, he displayed those traits of energy, initiative, and leadership which …
Pensacola In The British Period: Summary And Significance, Cecil Johnson
Pensacola In The British Period: Summary And Significance, Cecil Johnson
Florida Historical Quarterly
The documented story of Pensacola in the British period has already been written by competent historians and much of it has been published in this Quarterly. 1 The purpose of this writer is not to do again a job that has already been well done; rather, this is a brief account of British Pensacola with significant aspects of its history while it was the capital of the shortlived and ill-fated English royal province of West Florida; and this with a minimum of documentation and other scholarly impediments to the layman’s enjoyment of reading.
Spanish Pensacola, 1700-1763, William B. Griffen
Spanish Pensacola, 1700-1763, William B. Griffen
Florida Historical Quarterly
After more than a decade of explorations by Spain along the north and east shores of the Gulf of Mexico, a garrison has founded with all urgency at a bay called Pensacola* in the latter part of the year 1698 in an effort to keep other foreign powers, namely France and England, from obtaining a foothold in the region. These enemies of the Spanish dominions, so thought the Spaniards, would thus be obstructed from an area from which they could attack Spanish shipping and from which they would be able to penetrate and usurp portions of the northern Spanish colonies, …
The Founding Of Pensacola: Reasons And Reality, Albert Manucy
The Founding Of Pensacola: Reasons And Reality, Albert Manucy
Florida Historical Quarterly
October 1698 - Two rival expeditions - one French, the other Spanish - were sailing toward a pleasant harbor in the Gulf of Mexico. Neither of them knew about a third rival. But there it was, two little ships outbound from London, bringing Britons who coveted the same sunny southeastern province.
Tristan De Luna And Ochuse (Pensacola Bay), 1559, Charles W. Arnade
Tristan De Luna And Ochuse (Pensacola Bay), 1559, Charles W. Arnade
Florida Historical Quarterly
The conquest of America by the Spaniards in the sixteenth century was a momentous event which had profound consequences in world history. Portugal was the leader of the age of exploration during the fifteenth century, but Spain became the principal contender in conquest during the next century. It was she who blazed the trail of European penetration in South, Central and North America. It was she who left the first European footprints on Florida’s soil. It was she who unfurled the first flag over Pensacola Bay, and it was she who planted the first cross, symbol of Christianity, on the …
