The Port Of St. Augustine During The British Regime, Part Ii, Wilbur H. Siebert
The Port Of St. Augustine During The British Regime, Part Ii, Wilbur H. Siebert
Florida Historical Quarterly
Loyal to King George III, East Florida soon became involved with her rebellious neighbors to the northward. Wartime was reflected in the shipping at St. Augustine and the privateering in nearby waters. The first hostility of that neighborhood was the seizure of one hundred and eleven barrels and thirty-seven kegs of gunpowder from the English brigantine Betsy in July 1775 by a South Carolina sloop outside the bar. The aggressor escaped to the northward.
Pioneer Florida: Mexican Squadron At Key West, 1827, T. Frederick Davis
Pioneer Florida: Mexican Squadron At Key West, 1827, T. Frederick Davis
Florida Historical Quarterly
All general encyclopedias of American biography include an account of the life of David Porter (1780-1843), United States naval officer, whose exploits while in command of the Essex in the South Pacific in the War of 1812, remain a saga in the history of our early navy. These accounts, however, do not include an important event in Commodore Porter’s career, the scene of which was laid at and around Key West, Florida, in 1827, and therefore is a part of Florida’s history.
Notes On The “Catalogo De Los Fondos De Las Floridas", Albert C. Manucy
Notes On The “Catalogo De Los Fondos De Las Floridas", Albert C. Manucy
Florida Historical Quarterly
The reference is to the great Mississippi, and on this keynote is sounded the broad theme of Catalogo de los Fondos de las Floridas, which, in free translation might be titled “Catalog of the Florida Papers.” Published in format similar to the well-known Carnegie archival guides, the book is an illuminating index to an interesting period in the history of the area between Savannah and New Orleans, from the Florida Keys to the lower Mississippi Valley.
The Negro Abraham, Kenneth W. Porter
The Negro Abraham, Kenneth W. Porter
Florida Historical Quarterly
One of the most remarkable personalities produced by the African race in this country before general emancipation was an illiterate runaway slave who spent almost all his mature life among Seminole Indians. This judgment is, perhaps, either too cautious to be meaningful or too bold to be convincing, according to the direction from which one chooses to approach it.

The Contest For Pensacola Bay And Other Gulf Ports, 1698-1722. Part Ii, Stanley Faye
The Contest For Pensacola Bay And Other Gulf Ports, 1698-1722. Part Ii, Stanley Faye
Florida Historical Quarterly
The brothers Lemoyne began Louisiana’s war against Mexico, as told in part one of this narrative. Francois Blondel de la Tour continued it. One month after the fall of San Carlos (at Pensacola bay) the commandant of Natchitoches led the six men remaining in his garrison against San Miguel de Adaes, the nearest Spanish mission of Texas. He captured one of the two Spanish soldiers. who formed the garrison there, but neither Blondel nor Governor Alarcon at Mission Dolores (near Nacogdoches, Texas) possessed military strength for further operations. Natchitoches waited in stalemate until the Company of the Indies should open …
Historic Artifacts And The Buzzard Cult In Florida, John W. Griffin
Historic Artifacts And The Buzzard Cult In Florida, John W. Griffin
Florida Historical Quarterly
An extensive literature on the archaeology of Florida has been amassed over a considerable number of years. By far the greater part of this literature is purely descriptive, and it is the purpose of this paper to take some of the older materials and interpret them in the light of current archaeological knowledge; knowledge which has advanced at an almost breathtaking rate in the past decade. For our purposes we shall select seven related artifacts from southern Florida; made of gold, silver, brass, stone and wood.
Physicians And Medicine In Early Jacksonville, Webster Merritt
Physicians And Medicine In Early Jacksonville, Webster Merritt
Florida Historical Quarterly
During the years 1829 to 1833, New Ross, a typical plantation of the early nineteenth century, lay on the border of the St. Johns river about four miles above Jacksonville. Of the happenings on the plantation Judge F. Bethune, its owner, kept a comprehensive account in his diary. On Friday, April 5, 1833, he wrote, “Andrew sick.” On Monday, April 8, he recorded, “Went to Jacksonville court Andrew sick,” and on the following day he added, “at Jacksonville returned before dinner with Dr. Hall had Andrew bled.” This account of the treatment of one of Judge Bethune’s slaves in accordance …

The Port Of St. Augustine During The British Regime, Wilbur H. Siebert
The Port Of St. Augustine During The British Regime, Wilbur H. Siebert
Florida Historical Quarterly
A little more than six miles of Anastasia island, eastward of St. Augustine, is shown on the old map by De Brahm, one-time surveyor-general for the Southern District of British America. The channel is depicted and, less than a mile east of the fortress or “castle,” the bar. The Look-out Tower stands two thirds of the island’s width at that point from its inner side, a little more than a fifth of a mile from its outer side, and half a mile from the shore directly north. De Brahm’s survey was made in 1765 and 1766. On a much earlier …

Resources For The History Of The British Floridas, Florida Historical Society
Resources For The History Of The British Floridas, Florida Historical Society
Florida Historical Quarterly
As is well known, the history of Florida falls naturally and very definitely into periods of nationalities. Of these the British era is the most sharply defined. And this is the only period whose history has largely been written-which means that, except for the details of the general history and for certain subjects, the materials available have mostly been used. For this British occupation these resources are mainly governmental archives in the Public Record Office in London. That mass of documents has been used by writers on specific subjects, but for general coverage there are two works: Professor Mowat’s on …
Tiger Tail, Kenneth W. Porter
Tiger Tail, Kenneth W. Porter
Florida Historical Quarterly
The career of Thlocklo Tustenuggee (Fish Warrior), better known by his nickname of Tiger Tail, who was one of the most determinedly hostile of the Seminole chiefs in the war of 1835-42, may be of no great importance. It has, however, already received sufficient attention to justify, it would seem, the addition of new information. The standard account, found in Sprague, is that he died, perhaps of homesickness, shortly after his transportation from Florida. It has, however, been more recently asserted that Tiger Tail never left Florida, but, substituting one of his. warriors, who had been beaten into unrecognizability in …
Writing Local History, Lillie B. Mcduffee
Writing Local History, Lillie B. Mcduffee
Florida Historical Quarterly
Probably in every one of Florida’s sixty-seven counties there is waiting for some aspiring writer of history a wealth of material which could be used effectively in building a county or local history. This is a field of endeavor which in Florida has largely been neglected, and one which should arouse the pride of Floridians over the State who may be history-minded.
Pioneer Florida: The First Session Of The Legislative Council Of Florida, T. Frederick Davis
Pioneer Florida: The First Session Of The Legislative Council Of Florida, T. Frederick Davis
Florida Historical Quarterly
Conformably to the law, the first Legislative Council of the Territory of Florida was to meet at Pensacola on Monday, June 10, 1822. On that day several members met, but owing to lack of a quorum occasioned by the non-arrival of the East Florida members they adjourned until the 17th. On the 17th, the East Florida members had not arrived and there was another adjournment. It was not until July 22 that the Council organized with a quorum attained through the arrival of some of the members from East Florida. These bare facts are all that official records show; for …
The Seminole Negroes Of Andros Island, Bahamas, John M. Goggin
The Seminole Negroes Of Andros Island, Bahamas, John M. Goggin
Florida Historical Quarterly
In a recent article in this journal, Kenneth W. Porter has raised the question of the identity of the Indian negroes of Andros Island in the Bahamas. As the result of investigations on Andros Island in the summer of 1937, it is possible to clarify the problem, and positively to identify the legendary Indians of Andros Island as Seminole Negroes. A more detailed historical investigation of the problem had been contemplated, but present conditions make it impossible to complete the research as originally outlined.
Governor Salazar’S Wheat Farm Project, 1645-1657, Katherine S. Lawson
Governor Salazar’S Wheat Farm Project, 1645-1657, Katherine S. Lawson
Florida Historical Quarterly
The governors of Florida from the founding of St. Augustine in 1565 to the evacuation in 1763 were continually faced with food shortage, even with starvation; for St. Augustine knew hunger pangs many times, when ships bringing supplies to the Presidio were wrecked, were captured by pirates, or in some years failed to be sent from Mexico with the flour ordered furnished to Florida by the king’s command. So of much interest are the records of a project, covering the years 1645 to 1657, for a wheat farm (trigo hacienda) the result of the determination of Governor Salazar (who may …

The Contest For Pensacola Bay And Other Gulf Ports, 1698-1722, Part I, Stanley Faye
Florida Historical Quarterly
John Law’s Mississippi Bubble of speculation began to inflate itself on September 26, 1717, when Law’s Company of the West made ready to colonize Louisiana. Yet Law in Paris already knew that a sandbar had blocked up the one seaport of Louisiana that he thought suitable for receiving his transatlantic vessels. Five years later the bubble persisted only in memory, the bubble-maker lingered in exile and necessity persuaded light-draft French shipping to enter the Mississippi river. In the course of those five years the Company of the West had searched unavailingly for another deep, suitable and almost necessary port, and …
