March Madness With A Twist, Richard C. Crepeau Mar 2021

March Madness With A Twist, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

After a year with no “March Madness” that turned into one of the maddest years of our lifetime, the calendar has rolled through twelve months and the lure of television money has resurrected “March Madness.” Some things look very familiar.

Tequesta, The Journal Of The Historical Association Of Southern Florida, Florida Historical Society

Florida Historical Quarterly

The publication of the first number (March 1941) of this periodical is a noteworthy event in the writing of Florida’s history. Professor Lewis Leary of the University of Miami is its editor, and it is issued as a bulletin of the University. Its forthcoming appearance was noted in our last issue where its board of editors and plans of publication were mentioned. Nine articles with a column of Notes and Queries comprise this issue, and their interest and historical value call for a brief review of each.

Spanish Land Grants In Florida, Frank P. Hamilton Mar 2021

Spanish Land Grants In Florida, Frank P. Hamilton

Florida Historical Quarterly

Readers of the Florida Historical Quarterly are assumed to know the source of the present-day titles to the lands that make up our State. Some know more of the details of the devolutions involved than others and a few doubtless are learned in the subject. To the latter, progress toward such high estate of erudition has been tedious and oft-times discouraging. There have been few signboards along the way, but now more guide-posts have been placed for the learned and the novice.

James Holmes’S Florida Plantation, 1804, Lewis Leary Mar 2021

James Holmes’S Florida Plantation, 1804, Lewis Leary

Florida Historical Quarterly

Congressman James Mott was worried about his nephew. It was years since young James Holmes had left his family in Monmouth, New Jersey, to seek his fortune in Georgia. Finally, in January 1804, the congressman wrote Peter Freneau, also a Monmouth man, who had settled in the south, and had lived in Charleston since the close of the Revolution, and was now editing the influential City Gazette of that city.


The Return Of Spanish Rule To The St. Marys And The St. Johns, 1813-1821, D. C. Corbitt Mar 2021

The Return Of Spanish Rule To The St. Marys And The St. Johns, 1813-1821, D. C. Corbitt

Florida Historical Quarterly

If the United States Supreme Court had wanted a precedent for deciding the insular cases it might have found one in Spain’s treatment of the St. Marys-St. Johns district in 1813. When brought face to face with the question of applying the Spanish Constitution of 1812 to that area, Governor Sebastian Kindelan of East Florida, like the United States Supreme Court a century later, decided that the Constitution did not follow the flag. Higher authorities supported the governor in his decision, which, as will be shown below, was a result of the “Republic of Florida” episode of 1812-1813.


Source Materials Of Florida History In The John Carter Brown Library Of Brown University, Lawrence C. Wroth Mar 2021

Source Materials Of Florida History In The John Carter Brown Library Of Brown University, Lawrence C. Wroth

Florida Historical Quarterly

In his search for the rarest of historical material on colonial Florida, the historian will find in the John Carter Brown Library a good part of all that is available anywhere. There an extraordinary collection of source materials on the history of North, South, and Central America of the period before 1801 has been brought together for the use of scholars. More than four hundred titles, many of the utmost rarity and some unique, have been listed in that library for the Union Catalog of Floridiana. The most important of these have been selected and are described here by Dr. …

Colonial Pensacola: The British Period. Part Iii, Clinton N. Howard

The Courts Of Territorial Florida, Charles D. Farris Mar 2021

The Courts Of Territorial Florida, Charles D. Farris

Florida Historical Quarterly

The organic act establishing the Territory of Florida was passed by Congress on March 30, 1822. Another act of Congress admitted Florida into the union of states on March 23, 1845. 2 Provision was made for either the appointment or the election, by October 1845, of all officers under the state government who succeeded to functions of officers under the territorial government. 3 The territorial period, therefore, may be said to have ended with the elections in October 1845.


Moses Elias Levy, An Early Florida Pioneer And The Father Of Florida’S First Senator, Leon Hunter Mar 2021

Moses Elias Levy, An Early Florida Pioneer And The Father Of Florida’S First Senator, Leon Hunter

Florida Historical Quarterly

Never before has there been an instance of the formation of a great nation like our own, in which so many different races and nationalities have taken part. The sturdy English, the thrifty Scotch, the buoyant Irish, the Spaniards, Germans, French, Italians, Dutch, Scandinavians and others are all represented in our country’s fabric, irrespective of their religious tenets or affiliations. And so it is not surprising to find that Jews were also among these pioneers. Though but few in number, they appear in every one of the original thirteen colonies throughout the colonial and revolutionary periods, and also later on …

Some Notes On An Archeological Survey For Florida, H. Dunscombe Colt Mar 2021

Some Notes On An Archeological Survey For Florida, H. Dunscombe Colt

Florida Historical Quarterly

In these days of increasing population and expanding communities, it is inevitable that many of the historical antiquities should disappear. The Indian mounds are not alone in this respect, for the remains of the early colonial periods are also succumbing to modern demands. In order therefore to preserve, in record at least, as much as possible for the future, a register of all existing antiquities should be compiled before it is too late.


Florida, Promoter Of Cuban Liberty, Ruby Leach Carson Mar 2021

Florida, Promoter Of Cuban Liberty, Ruby Leach Carson

Florida Historical Quarterly

Florida’s geographical peculiarities have resulted always in giving her a colorful history, and at no time has this been more evident than during the Cuban War of Independence, previous to American intervention. This period, from 1895 to 1898, has provided inspiration for many books and articles about the Cuban Juntas formed in the United States and about their filibustering enterprises. Because Florida’s ragged outline forms an arm which Uncle Sam extends into the affairs of Spanish America, it was inevitable that Cuban insurrectionists should lean heavily upon this arm after they declared their independence from Spain. An effort to assemble …
