A Free Negro Purchases His Daughter, Herbert J. Doherty Jr.
A Free Negro Purchases His Daughter, Herbert J. Doherty Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
Many interesting sidelights to Southern history are to be found in the documents comprising the Richard Keith Call collection in the Florida Historical Society Library. Certain letters addressed to Call give us new and intriguing views of life in the old South. Here are two letters addressed to Call from Canada by a free Negro. We know very little about these letters or the circumstances surrounding them; as Call’s side of the correspondence is not preserved in the collection, nor is there any reference to the matter nor the persons in any other documents of the collection which this writer …
The Federal Campaign Of 1864 In East Florida, Mark F. Boyd
The Federal Campaign Of 1864 In East Florida, Mark F. Boyd
Florida Historical Quarterly
At this distance in time from the events of 1864 it is not possible to prepare a satisfactorily complete picture of the 1864 Federal campaign in East Florida. Basic for such a study is the extended series of orders and reports of Federal and Confederate general officers and unit commanders preserved in the War of the Rebellion: Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies, Series I, Volume XXXV, Parts 1 and 2,1891 (page numbers in these volumes are hereafter cited in parentheses). A careful consideration of these leads to the conclusion that many gaps exist in the series.

"Tequesta 1949, Annual Of The Historical Association Of Southern Florida", Florida Historical Society
Florida Historical Quarterly
The 1949 issue of Tequesta, the annual of the Historical Association of Southern Florida, which appeared while the last number of this QUARTERLY was in press, is the ninth of the series; and, as usual, contains a number of interesting historical articles relating to that region. Most of the papers were read at the program meetings of the Association and at the annual meeting of the Florida Historical Society last year when we were guests of that organization. The publication of these papers, year by year, makes a permanent addition to the recorded history of South Florida; a history which, …

A Florida Settler Of 1877: The Diary Of Erastus G. Hill, Erastus G. Hill
Florida Historical Quarterly
The QUARTERLY is grateful to Mrs. L. H. Hill of Lawtey, Florida, for permission to publish this diary which has been preserved for so many years in her family, and to Mr. A. Z. Adkins, Jr. of Gainesville for bringing it to the attention of the QUARTERLY and securing that permission. Our readers, also, will thank them ; for here we have a firsthand account of why and how so many thousands of families moved to Florida in the early days.
Northern Plans For The Economic Invasion Of Florida, 1862-1865, Robert L. Clarke
Northern Plans For The Economic Invasion Of Florida, 1862-1865, Robert L. Clarke
Florida Historical Quarterly
Almost with the beginning of the fratricidal conflict of 1861-1865 far-seeing politicians and interested economic groups from the North began an economic invasion of the South. First, a Confiscation Act made all property used in support of the rebellion subject to seizure by the federal government. Later in 1861, despite Abraham Lincoln’s questioning of its constitutionality, Congress passed a second Confiscation Act which made the property of all Confederate officials subject to immediate confiscation by Union officials.
An Archeologist At Fort Gadsden, John W. Griffin
An Archeologist At Fort Gadsden, John W. Griffin
Florida Historical Quarterly
While the search for documentary evidence and the writing of articles and monographs on the history of Florida finds continued and increasing interest, the locations in Florida at which historic events occurred often lie neglected and all but forgotten. Such was the case of Fort Gadsden, a monument to the War of 1812 and to Andrew Jackson’s military forays into Spanish Florida. Recently, however, the United States Forest Service became interested in preserving and marking this structure as a historic site, and asked for the cooperation of the Florida Park Service in undertaking the background study necessary in such a …
Filibustering With The “Dauntless”, Richard V. Rickenbach
Filibustering With The “Dauntless”, Richard V. Rickenbach
Florida Historical Quarterly
Through the indefatigable efforts of Jose A. Huau and Alphonso Fritot, Jacksonville was an active center of filibustering to Cuba in the years 1895-98. Huau was important for his local influence, and his store on the corner of Bay and Main streets served as the clearing house for negotiations of the filibusterers. It seems now that it would have been all but impossible for the revolutionaries to be successful had they not had the aid of Fritot, for he was the joint agent of all the railroads running into Jacksonville. 1 He had the power of being able to secure …

Now Is The Time, Florida Historical Society
Now Is The Time, Florida Historical Society
Florida Historical Quarterly
Local histories are the foundation stones of State history. Florida, which is far behind its neighbors in the knowledge of its history, is beginning to catch up. A number of local and regional associations are organized, and some are collecting and preserving the historical material of their areas. Miami, Jacksonville, Pensacola, St. Petersburg, Palm Beach, the Manatee region, and others have collections. An important recent addition is the Tampa area with its Hillsborough County Historical Commission. There is a revival of historical effort in St. Augustine, the gem of Florida’s historic past, with the collection and work of the St. …

Negro Slavery In Florida, Part Ii, Edwin L. Williams, Jr.
Negro Slavery In Florida, Part Ii, Edwin L. Williams, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
As the plantation regime expanded in territorial Florida and the Negro population became more numerous it became necessary that the slave system should be supported by statutory law. The purpose of the law was primarily to control the slave through a strict regulation of the system, and only incidentally to give him protection from ill usage. In 1828 the Legislative Council laid the legal basis for future legislation concerning Negro slaves by the passage of an act which stated that “slaves shall be deemed, held, and taken as personal property for every purpose whatever." This act placed the Negro slave …
The National Farmers’ Alliance Convention Of 1890, And Its “Ocala Demands”, Samuel Proctor
The National Farmers’ Alliance Convention Of 1890, And Its “Ocala Demands”, Samuel Proctor
Florida Historical Quarterly
Probably there were none as surprised or as pleased as were Florida’s four delegates to the National Farmers’ Alliance Convention when it was decided that the 1890 meeting of the National Alliance Supreme Council would be held in Jacksonville. Politically a part of the “solid South”, and with a population of only a few thousand, it seemed scarcely possible that frontier Florida would be chosen, nor could it well play host to any national organization, even one as politically adolescent as was the National Farmers’ Alliance in 1889. However, Florida’s invitation was accepted by the convention which met in St. …

Political Factions In Territorial Florida, Herbert J. Doherty, Jr.
Political Factions In Territorial Florida, Herbert J. Doherty, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the early days of the territorial period, politics in Florida were largely of a personal nature as certain men of wealth and education became the natural leaders of the political life on the frontier. When Florida became a United States territory there was nominally only one political party, and political lines nationally were in a state of flux. Consequently, while the settlers of Florida usually came with definite political ideas, they were not tied to a party nor did they bring readymade ideas of party with them.
Hernando De Miranda, Governor Of Florida 1575-1577, Ray E. Held
Hernando De Miranda, Governor Of Florida 1575-1577, Ray E. Held
Florida Historical Quarterly
Second in the list of governors of Spanish Florida stands the name of one Hernando de Miranda. An almost unknown figure, he was for two years King Philip II’s adelantado, captain-general, and governor for the royal provinces of Florida. Following the rule of the first governor, the famous and able commander, Pedro Menendez de Aviles, Miranda’s brief administration (1575 to 1577) occurred at a time when Florida, having been made secure against the French, was settling down into the two centuries of the relatively obscure first Spanish colonial period. That Miranda was succeeded in turn by another capable governor, Pedro …
