The Occupation Of Pensacola Bay, 1689-0698, Part Ii, William Edward Dunn

Florida Historical Quarterly

There were two purposes in the coming of the Spaniards to America. One was the desire for gain; the other the hope of making Christians of the natives. Unfortunately the two conflicted.

The Truth Regarding "Tiger-Tail", Isabella M. Williams Dec 2020

The Truth Regarding "Tiger-Tail", Isabella M. Williams

Florida Historical Quarterly

Dictionaries do not agree in all things, but upon one point there is no difference of opinion: history is avowedly a recital of actual occurrences. Yet how often have we known blatant inaccuracies in historical records ; and how many times have we accepted as true some fictitious statement which was meted out to us, through the ignorance, conjecture or lack of information of some chronicler!

One of the most interesting characters in the early history of Florida was George I. F. Clarke, an Englishman.

He is frequently referred to by name and reputation in American State Papers, Public Lands, especially Vol. IV containing the reports of the Land Commissioners appointed by the United States Government to pass upon land claims in Florida.

Education In Florida, 1821-1829, James O. Knauss Nov 2020

Education In Florida, 1821-1829, James O. Knauss

Florida Historical Quarterly

Writers on the history of education in Florida have usually passed over the period between 1821 and 1830 with only casual mention. During this decade no public schools were established in the territory and the records relating to private schools and libraries are meagre. However, since the educational activities in these years form the background of the later cultural development, it seems advisable to gather all available material on the subject and to attempt to draw a picture as accurate as possible under the circumstances.

Capital Removal, Florida Historical Society Nov 2020

Capital Removal, Florida Historical Society

Florida Historical Quarterly

Seldom has the site for a city been deliberately selected, less often has it been chosen in a wilderness, and scarcely ever has a capital been so placed not only many miles from any settlement but far from any single habitation of civilized man. Yet thus it was with Tallahassee when its site was chosen for the seat of government of the Territory of Florida and as the permanent home of its wandering Council.
