The Governorship Of Andrew Jackson, Herbert J. Doherty, Jr. Apr 2021

The Governorship Of Andrew Jackson, Herbert J. Doherty, Jr.

Florida Historical Quarterly

It was a stifling hot day in July of 1821 but the inhabitants of Pensacola, Florida, and hundreds of recently arrived newcomers were all jammed into the town’s central plaza. This was to be an important day in the lives of the people of Florida, for at ten o’clock in the morning the gaunt gray figure of Andrew Jackson would stalk from the governor’s residence and cross the plaza to the government house where the ceremonies marking the transfer of the Floridas from Spain to the United States would be completed. As he sat in the governor’s residence eating breakfast …


Plantation Economy In Leon County 1830-1840, Julia Hering Apr 2021

Plantation Economy In Leon County 1830-1840, Julia Hering

Florida Historical Quarterly

The area of cotton culture in Florida during the ante-bellum period was located mainly between the Apalachicola and Suwannee rivers, and in 1840 comprised the counties of Leon, Madison, Jefferson, Hamilton and Gadsden. It is significant that this area constituted then more or less an island in northern Florida whose economy, social structure, and soil type differed from that in the remainder of the state. In this comparatively small and isolated region there came into being, between 1830 and 1840, a cotton economy which compared favorably with that of the Georgia Piedmont or the Black Belt of Alabama. The emphasis …

County Historical Commissions, Florida Historical Society

Florida Historical Quarterly

Florida is behind many states in the preservation of local history. Our Florida Historical Society is accomplishing much for the State’s history, but we can do little beyond encouragement at the county, town, and community levels; and in the aggregate those histories are of greater importance than that which relates to Florida as a whole.

Tequesta Vol. Xiii, Florida Historical Society

Florida Historical Quarterly

The 1953 issue of Tequesta appeared after the last number of this Quarterly went to press and contains three articles of unusual historical interest. Together they make this the most valuable issue of the thirteen which have been published-in fact, perhaps no other one issue of any Florida historical periodical has included three articles of equal importance.


A Religious Revival In Tallahassee In 1843, Nathan Hoyt Apr 2021

A Religious Revival In Tallahassee In 1843, Nathan Hoyt

Florida Historical Quarterly

In the Woodrow Wilson Papers in the Library of Congress there is a manuscript narrative (here reproduced) of a religious revival held in Tallahassee in 1843 by the Rev. Nathan Hoyt, grandfather of Ellen Axson, wife of President Wilson. He was then pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Athens, Georgia. Evidently, Georgians of that period considered Florida as a field for missionary work.

Charles M.

He was promoted to 2nd. Lieutenant (1863) in the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry (a Negro regiment with white officers) and commanded Company D of that regiment in the battle of Olustee, the only major engagement of the War in Florida. This brought a promotion to 1st. Lieutenant. Some time later he was shot in the knee and thrown from his horse, breaking his leg. He …

The Notorious Swepson-Littlefield Fraud: Railroad Financing In Florida (1868-1871), Paul E. Fenlon

Florida Historical Quarterly

A full account of the financial manipulations of George W. Swepson and Milton S. Littlefield in Florida during the hectic post-Civil War period would entail consideration of scores of events with which a great number of persons were concerned. It is possible, however, to indicate the essential elements involved in their activities through the examination of six major developments that occurred between 1868 and 1871.

David Betton Macomb, Frontiersman, Andrew Forest Muir Apr 2021

David Betton Macomb, Frontiersman, Andrew Forest Muir

Florida Historical Quarterly

Well known in American history is the peripatetic hunter and trapper, farmer and stockholder who at the head of the westward movement pushed into new areas only to abandon them when joined by too close neighbors. These folk were the vanguard of American civilization. Conspicuous among them are Daniel Boone and David Crockett. Less well known are the equally peripatetic professional men - lawyers, teachers, ministers, and physicians - who were largely instrumental in transmitting to the frontier the typical institutions of American life. Like the early group they too abandoned an area when it became stable and settled to …

Are There De Soto Relics In Florida?, John M. Goggin Apr 2021

Are There De Soto Relics In Florida?, John M. Goggin

Florida Historical Quarterly

The adventurous trip of Hernando de Soto from his debarkation on the Florida Gulf Coast in 1539, through thousands of miles of wilderness, to his death on the Mississippi River in 1542 has been the subject of many fictional and scholarly studies. Despite the careful attention given to his journey many questions arise in the minds of the students. One is the puzzling problem of why no material objects have ever been found which can be derived from the De Soto expedition. It is hard to believe a party of more than five hundred well-equipped men would leave or lose …
