Professor W. S. Jenkins, of the Department of Political Science of the University of North Carolina, has carried out an important project for the Library of Congress. A special effort has been made by the Library to secure files of the printed legislative journals of all of the states. Some of these journals were never printed, and in a few cases apparently no copy of the printed journals has survived.

The Union Catalog Of Floridiana, Florida Historical Society
Florida Historical Quarterly
This project at Rollins College has often been told of in the Quarterly; especially, in our issue of October 1937 (XVI. 119), is an account of its founding and of the well-laid plans for its growth and usefulness. So far as has been possible, these plans are being carried out, and today the Catalog is a well-established and constantly growing medium for the dissemination of information on every kind of printed or manuscript material relating in any way to Florida.

Richard Keith Call, Florida Territorial Leader, Sidney Walter Martin
Richard Keith Call, Florida Territorial Leader, Sidney Walter Martin
Florida Historical Quarterly
One of the most colorful figures involved in the destiny of the Territory of Florida was Virginia-born Richard Keith Call. He was an Indian fighter, served two terms as governor, and left behind him an impressive political career. Most of his early years were spent in Kentucky; and the recollection of a happy childhood in that state often caused him to return for visits after his permanent home had been established in Florida. He spent several years in a military academy in Tennessee, but with the outbreak of the War of 1812, the restless and impetuous youth left the academy …
The Gibraltar Of The Gulf Of Mexico, Albert Manucy
The Gibraltar Of The Gulf Of Mexico, Albert Manucy
Florida Historical Quarterly
A hundred years ago the United States was suffering frequent growing pains. The Louisiana and Florida cessions had uncorked the Mississippi, and the hardy pioneers of its valley were floating tons of produce down-river to New Orleans. From that growing port Yankee merchantman, flying Dutchman, and British brig edged out into the Gulf Stream and headed for the narrow mouth of the Gulf where they swept through the Straits past Tortugas with the Havannah to starboard, and the two scarce thirty leagues apart.
Botanical Explorers Of The Southeastern United States, H. Harold Hume
Botanical Explorers Of The Southeastern United States, H. Harold Hume
Florida Historical Quarterly
The southeastern United States, and in particular the part now embraced within the state of Florida, is an unusual area from the standpoint of its plant life. Here nature with a lavish hand scattered far and wide an unrivaled flora. It has no counterpart either in the United States or in the whole world. The number of species is great and individual specimens of the higher plants so numerous that in the pristine condition they completely covered the surface of the soil on all but the poorest lands. In support of this statement it may be added that there are …

The Triangular Contest For Florida, Florida Historical Society
The Triangular Contest For Florida, Florida Historical Society
Florida Historical Quarterly
Florida’s colonial history is mainly that of an intermittent struggle for possession by the three great European nations-Spain, France, and Great Britain. Though efforts were made at colonization, none were really successful except the fair beginning of the English in East Florida; the beginning in the West was in those parts only nominally and temporarily Florida. The purpose of Spain’s two hundred years of sovereignty was to keep the others out, and that was the reason for St. Augustine and Pensacola-two oases in a wilderness.
St. Francis Barracks, St. Augustine, Charles L. Mowat
St. Francis Barracks, St. Augustine, Charles L. Mowat
Florida Historical Quarterly
Several years ago, in an article in the Quarterly, Abbot Charles H. Mohr, O. S. B., gave an interesting account of the work of the Franciscans in Florida during the first Spanish regime and described the strange history of their monastic buildings, which were converted into barracks during the British period and still give the name, and probably considerably more than the name, to the present day St. Francis Barracks on Marine street in St. Augustine. These barracks thus furnish a link of unusual interest between the present day and both the transitory regime of the British in East Florida …
Milly Francis And Duncan Mckrimmon, T. Frederick Davis
Milly Francis And Duncan Mckrimmon, T. Frederick Davis
Florida Historical Quarterly
Hillis Hadjo, known in English as Francis the Prophet, was a Creek chief of considerable prominence. When the famous Indian Tecumseh visited the Creek Indians during the opening phase of the War of 1812 to enlist them in the cause of the British, Francis became his convert. He was then living near the Chattahoochee river in the present state of Alabama. In the campaign of General Andrew Jackson in 1813-14 against the Creeks, Francis was driven into Spanish Florida and finally took up his abode near the Spanish Fort St. Marks.

George J. F. Clarke, 1774-1836, Louise Biles Hill
Florida Historical Quarterly
Here is a man who was an English colonial by birth, a Spanish citizen by naturalization, and died an American citizen by virtue of the treaty through which the United States acquired the Floridas. All occurred in St. Augustine!-though some of his mature years were spent in Fernandina and in St. Marys, Georgia.

A Memorial To James Alexander Robertson, Florida Historical Society
A Memorial To James Alexander Robertson, Florida Historical Society
Florida Historical Quarterly
James Alexander Robertson published little Florida history; but a large part of what has been published during the past quarter-century, and much that is still to be published and still to be written, is and will be the better because of his years of work with and for the writers. And some of that history would not have been written except for him.

Names Of The St. Johns River, Herbert M. Corse
Names Of The St. Johns River, Herbert M. Corse
Florida Historical Quarterly
Four centuries of history are reflected in the changing names of the St. Johns river. From earliest times the leaping surf on the bar which marked the entrance was noticed by coastal explorers. The great volume of water coming from the river was obstructed by a shallow bar which caused a turbulent appearance and earned the river its first name, Rio de Corrientes (River of Currents). This name appears on the earliest known map of the De Soto expedition. Here the southern region and its coast from Cape Hatteras around Florida and beyond the Rio Grande is remarkably accurate in …

God’S Protecting Providence: A Journal Of Jonathan Dickinson, Charles M. Andrews
Florida Historical Quarterly
Toward the end of September, 1696, a group of shipwrecked people found themselves the captives of a petty tribe of Florida Indians in an Indian town, five miles south of the place of their disaster and about eighteen miles north of the present island of Palm Beach on the south side of a body of water now known as Jupiter Inlet. Nearby was one of the many oyster-shell mounds of the eastern coast of Florida, which is still there though much reduced in size. In this Indian town the members of the ship’s company remained for two days, not ill-treated …
