An Episode In The Third Seminole War, James W. Covington
An Episode In The Third Seminole War, James W. Covington
Florida Historical Quarterly
The Third Seminole War covers the period from December 1855 to the spring of 1858. Although this war brought to a complete standstill nearly all economic growth in central and southern Florida and involved a large expenditure of money and men by national and state forces, it has been virtually ignored by writers who have preferred to pay more attention to the much more famous conflict which lasted from 1835 to 1842. The Second Seminole War attained national attention because the Indians were not crushed and because such well-known figures as Thomas Jesup, Zachary Taylor, Winfield Scott, Richard K. Call, …
Historical Beginnings Of Ybor City And Modern Tampa, Durward Long
Historical Beginnings Of Ybor City And Modern Tampa, Durward Long
Florida Historical Quarterly
The story of the revitalization of Tampa, Florida at the end of the nineteenth century is illustrative of many developments accompanying the expansion of cities in that era. Part of the story concerns the attempt to build Ybor City, separate from but adjacent to Tampa, based on immigrant capital and immigrant labor. While Ybor City failed to retain its separateness from Tampa, its cigars - “Hav-A-Tampa, ” “Tampa Nuggets,” “Tampa Straights,” and many others - widely advertised this Florida city. Tampa became famous for cigars even though production began in Ybor City in 1886, and her reputation continues. As late …
American Seizure Of Amelia Island, Richard G. Lowe
American Seizure Of Amelia Island, Richard G. Lowe
Florida Historical Quarterly
In 1817 the United States took actions at a small island off the northeast coast of Florida which aroused protests from the Spanish government. A band of South American adventurers had occupied Spanish-owned Amelia Island in June and had been using their base as a smugglers’ gateway into Georgia and the southern states. In December 1817, the United States purged the island of its invaders, apparently trying to get rid of this group of troublesome ruffians and smugglers that were agitating along the southern border. A closer examination of this event, however, reveals an additional motive as well.
The Narrow Waters Strategies Of Pedro Menendez, Paul E. Hoffman
The Narrow Waters Strategies Of Pedro Menendez, Paul E. Hoffman
Florida Historical Quarterly
In a letter to Philip II from Cadiz on December 3, 1570, Pedro Menendez de Aviles, Adelantado of Florida and Captain General of the Armada for the Guarding and Security of the Coasts, Islands, and Ports of the Indies, said that he planned to “place myself in the Bahama Channel where he [Jacques Sores, considered to be one of the best French corsairs and at the time at large in the Caribbean] could not come out without my seeing him.” Menendez recognized that the control of the Bahama Channel was essential for the security of the Caribbean. He said that …

The Southern Boundary Commission, The Chattahoochee River, And The Florida Seminoles, 1799, Jack D. L. Holmes
Florida Historical Quarterly
When the pressure of European affairs mounted during 1795, Spain’s Minister of State, the erratic Manuel de Godoy, was persuaded to sign the Treaty of San Lorenzo (Pinckney Treaty) with the United States in an effort to neutralize that power in the approaching struggle with the English. Whatever its utility to Spain in Europe, this treaty marked the beginning of the end for Spain’s North American empire by yielding control over the Mississippi and by surrendering the strategic posts north of the thirty-first parallel and east of the Mississippi.
The Florida Militia's Role In The Battle Of Withlacoohee, George C. Bittle
The Florida Militia's Role In The Battle Of Withlacoohee, George C. Bittle
Florida Historical Quarterly
The Battle of Withlacoochee, fought in a swampy wilderness on the last day of 1835, generated a controversy which was more heated than the engagement itself. It was the Florida militia’s first relatively large-scale battle, and unfortunately, a subsequent bitter exchange of recriminations took place between Brigadier General Duncan Lamont Clinch, the regular army commander, and Brigadier General Richard Keith Call, Florida militia commander and territorial governor. Thus the role of the Florida men in their first serious military test became a matter of debate.
British Strategy And Southern Indians: War Of 1812, John K. Mahon
British Strategy And Southern Indians: War Of 1812, John K. Mahon
Florida Historical Quarterly
Hardly had land operations commenced in Canada during the War of 1812, when British officers in North America and adjacent waters began to recommend a diversion somewhere to the southward to relieve the pressure at the north. As early as November 1812, Admiral Sir John Borlase Warren, British commander on the North American station, suggested the shores of the Gulf of Mexico as the proper place, especially New Orleans. Seizure of that city, he said, would throttle the states of Ohio, Kentucky, and Tennessee, which were then spearheading the war against Upper Canada.

British Designs On The Old Southwest: Foreign Intrigue On The Florida Frontier, 1783-1803, J. Leitch Wright, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
It is widely recognized that for years after the American Revolution Britain played an important role in the affairs of the Old Northwest. In spite of the peace treaty’s provisions, she continued to occupy military posts ceded to the United States. Using these posts as centers, Canadian traders continued to monopolize most of the Indian commerce north of the Ohio, and the Indians in this vast region still looked to Detroit, Niagara, and Quebec, rather than to New York, Pittsburgh, or Philadelphia for commercial and political leadership. In theory the Old Northwest was an integral part of the United States; …

Proceedings Of The First Florida Congressional Delegation, Henry S. Marks
Florida Historical Quarterly
Florida was admitted to the Union on March 3, 1845, 2nd after much effort the new state’s first congressional delegation was selected. David Levy Yulee and James D. Westcott were named to the Senate and William Henry Brockenbrough to the House of Representatives. Florida’s first congressman was actually Edward C. Cabell of Tallahassee, but his election was successfully contested by Brockenbrough, also of Tallahassee, who took his seat in the Congress on January 24, 1846.

Notes On The Barefoot Mailman, Theodore Pratt

The three questions most asked of me about the barefoot mailman are these: Was he real or did you just make him up? Why did he walk barefoot? How much was he paid?
Marcellus L. Stearns, Florida's Last Reconstruction Governor, Claude R. Flory
Marcellus L. Stearns, Florida's Last Reconstruction Governor, Claude R. Flory
Florida Historical Quarterly
Marcellus Lovejoy Stearns, Florida’s eleventh governor and its last Republican governor, is easily remembered for certain indisputable distinctions. He was the only speaker of the Florida House of Representatives to preside over seven sessions of the legislature-including extra sessions. At thirty-four, he was Florida’s youngest governor and the only native of Maine ever to become governor of this state. Interestingly enough, he was succeeded by George F. Drew, a native of New Hampshire, who was born only fifty miles from Stearns’ birthplace.
