Horace Greeley, Presidential Candidate: A Floridian's View, Willard E. Wight
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the presidential election of 1872, Horace Greeley, editor of the New York Tribune, was the candidate of the Liberal Republican Party and of the Democratic Party. Nominated first by the Liberal Republicans at their convention in Cincinnati, Greeley had been named by the Democrats at Baltimore in July, 1872. The Democrats not only adopted the candidate of the Liberal Republicans but also adopted their platform verbatim.

The Trials Of Captain Don Isidoro De Leon, Lucy L. Wenhold
The Trials Of Captain Don Isidoro De Leon, Lucy L. Wenhold
Florida Historical Quarterly
Few historians can tell you what Florida was like in 1745. Yet those were the days when the governor of the province spoke of “the terror men feel when they even hear the name of Florida,” and swore to defend it “to the last drop of my blood.”
Dudley Warren Adams, Pioneer, Harriett M. Bryant
Dudley Warren Adams, Pioneer, Harriett M. Bryant
Florida Historical Quarterly
In December, 1875, a tall, spare man in middle life arrived in a small village in interior Florida. He strolled silently about the town, asked no questions of any of the citizens, moved into the wilderness westward of the village, and walked through the deep sand around the heavy scrub of palmetto growth into the forest of tall pines. No human habitation or evidence of human activity appeared as he continued his way in the wood. On his right he caught the gleam of a small lake, He followed a narrow opening into a cypress woods, draped with fairy-like grey …
The 1913 Campaign For Child Labor In Florida, Emily Howard Atkins
The 1913 Campaign For Child Labor In Florida, Emily Howard Atkins
Florida Historical Quarterly
So minutely prepared and well conducted was the campaign for a child labor law for Florida in 1913 that the advocates were surprised when the proposed bill was challenged by a solitary newspaper, The Florida Times Union. According to an official of the National Child Labor Committee, this strong objection on the part of the Jacksonville, Florida newspaper would have wrecked the legislation had it not been for the astute thinking on the part of the authors of the bill when the opposition first appeared.
Alabama And West Florida, Hugh C. Bailey
Alabama And West Florida, Hugh C. Bailey
Florida Historical Quarterly
Even before the Alabama Territory came into being, the inhabitants of the area north of West Florida coveted the land which lies west of the Apalachicola River. As early as 1811 two hundred sixty three residents of the Mississippi Territory petitioned the Congress of the United States to add West Florida to their jurisdiction. Not only would this give the territory sufficient population for admission to statehood, they asserted, but it would promote the interests of the people of both sections. After pointing out that many of the rivers of the Mississippi country flowed through West Florida, the petitioners stated …

The Florida Plan: An Ante-Bellum Effort To Control Cotton Sales, Weymouth T. Jordan
Florida Historical Quarterly
For a number of years historians have been familiar with the work of the so-called commercial conventions which were held in the South during the pre-Civil War period. Three professional studies have been written on the subject of these conventions. These conventions had their beginnings during the troubled times of the panic of 1837; the first one met in 1839; most of them convened during the 1850’s. They were held in the leading cities of the Old South; they were attended by hundreds of men seeking to promote what has come to be known as “southern nationalism;” they did a …

Macomb's Mission To The Seminoles: John T. Sprague's Journal, Frank F. White, Jr.
Macomb's Mission To The Seminoles: John T. Sprague's Journal, Frank F. White, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
On March 22, 1839, Major General Alexander Macomb left Washington to go to Florida in an unsuccessful attempt to end the expensive and futile war which had already lasted four years against the Seminole Indians. On his staff, accompanying him as aid-de-camp, was Lieutenant John T. Sprague of the 8th Infantry, who maintained the official diary of the expedition. This journal which has not been published in its entirety previously, contains the chronicle of the great council which assembled in May of that year to try to establish peace once more. Although General Macomb’s peace mission failed, Lieutenant Sprague’s diary …
Stories In Stone, Lucy Ames Edwards
Stories In Stone, Lucy Ames Edwards
Florida Historical Quarterly
If it is true, as Hawthorne tells us, that “A grave, wherever found, preaches a short and pithy sermon,” then perhaps a gravestone teaches history. That it records facts of history we know, but in the growth of towns and cities, as skyscrapers and subdivisions supplant old homes and scattered farms, some records of facts are being lost. With the thought of preserving family history the attempt was made in the summer of 1940 to compile the records on early gravemarkers in Duval County. An unexpected bonus was the information gained of Duval County families and how they had helped …
The Background Of The Greek Settlers In The New Smyrna Colony, E. P. Panagopoulos
The Background Of The Greek Settlers In The New Smyrna Colony, E. P. Panagopoulos
Florida Historical Quarterly
Andrew Turnbull, the principal founder of the New Smyrna Colony, was not the first who thought of bringing Greeks to people Florida. Immediately after the Treaty of Paris in 1763, which transferred Florida into British hands, William Knox, in a memorial to Whitehall, had already made this suggestion in a very convincing way. Knox, who later was Under-Secretary of State for American Affairs from 1770 to 1782, made, in his memorial, a detailed analysis of conditions and possibilities of the newly acquired Province of Florida. Attempting to solve the urgent problem of peopling this area, completely depopulated after the departure …

Florida In 1855, Herbert J. Doherty, Jr.
Florida In 1855, Herbert J. Doherty, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
One hundred years ago when the Florida Historical Society was founded at St. Augustine the members of that organization lived in a region and a society which was vastly different from that which is known to millions of twentieth century Americans as “Florida.” In those ancient days tourists were a rarity and resort hotels south of St. Augustine were even rarer. The cities were mere hamlets by present-day standards and almost all of the population was concentrated in the extreme northern part of the state. Industry was virtually non-existent and the mass of men were farmers. Negroes were held in …
Florida, Iowa, And The National "Balance Of Power," 1845, Franklin A. Doty
Florida, Iowa, And The National "Balance Of Power," 1845, Franklin A. Doty
Florida Historical Quarterly
To Floridians, the admission of their state to the Union is an event in which interest arises as a matter of course from local and state pride and from general historical awareness of the times and circumstances. To Iowans, the event is of similar interest because of the pairing of the two states in the same act of admission. To the historically minded in general, the occasion provides a convenient focus for reconsidering some of the chief crosscurrents of national politics in the 1840's.
Alabama's Political Leaders And The Acquisition Of Florida, Hugh C. Bailey
Alabama's Political Leaders And The Acquisition Of Florida, Hugh C. Bailey
Florida Historical Quarterly
If many Americans were concerned with western expansion in 1819, it is equally true that many were greatly interested in expansion to the south. America’s spirit of ‘‘manifest destiny” was by no means blunted with the purchase of Louisiana, and at the time of Alabama’s admission to the Union the question of the acquisition and disposition of Florida had become a major issue. Nowhere was the concern greater than among the group which dominated the early years of Alabama’s political life, “the Georgia Machine.” Composed of former Georgians, many of whom originally came from Virginia, the “machine” was nurtured and …
Fort Caroline, Cradle Of American Freedom, Charles E. Bennett
Fort Caroline, Cradle Of American Freedom, Charles E. Bennett
Florida Historical Quarterly
Along the southern bank of the St. Johns River in northeastern Florida stand a wooded bluff and adjoining shorelands which may well be considered the birthplace of American ideals and freedom; or, at very least, the cradle of American ideals in the distant years of 1564 and 1565, and the beginning of the first permanent settlement of our country. The United States government is now, in 1956, establishing at the site what will be called Fort Caroline National Memorial. It is expected that it will be open to visitors by the early summer of 1957. Although the history of St. …
