Ponce De Leon's Second Voyage And Attempt To Colonize Florida, T. Frederick Davis
Ponce De Leon's Second Voyage And Attempt To Colonize Florida, T. Frederick Davis
Florida Historical Quarterly
Following his voyage of 1513 Ponce de Leon sailed for Spain where he seems to have given a favorable account of his discoveries, for on September 26 (or 27), 1514, the King issued a patent to him to colonize Florida and Beniny, but first required his services against the Caribs, a fierce tribe of Indians inhabiting the Lesser Antilles. Returning to the West Indies Ponce de Leon proceeded against these Indians, but was severely repulsed by them. Mortified at his failure he returned to Porto Rico and remained in semi-retirement several years, apparently giving up the idea of colonizing Florida. …

Ponce De Leon's First Voyage And Discovery Of Florida, T. Frederick Davis
Florida Historical Quarterly
Juan Ponce de Leon, after serving in the armies of Spain, embarked for the West Indies where he became active in the subjugation of the Indians, a service in which he was engaged many years. He was a soldier and led a military life until he was forty-five years of age or more. He appears in official civil life with his appointment as governor of the eastern part of Hispaniola (Haiti), known as the province of Higuey. Soon afterward he was appointed governor of the island of San Juan (now Porto Rico), which he had already partially explored and conquered …

History Of Juan Ponce De Leon's Voyages To Florida, T. Frederick Davis
Florida Historical Quarterly
On that day between the 2nd and 8th of April, 1513, when Juan Ponce de Leon stepped from his landing boat upon the sandy shore of Florida he opened the positive history of the white man within the limits of the present United States. Since then, through the centuries, his name has been perpetuated by history and is better known today than any of the early explorers with the single exception of Columbus. But the circumstances of his discovery of Florida are seldom related with historical accuracy, while those of his second voyage to colonize Florida are scarcely known at …

Fort Marion During The Seminole War, Rogers W. Young
Fort Marion During The Seminole War, Rogers W. Young
Florida Historical Quarterly
The news that the Seminoles had begun hostilities in Florida spread slowly early in January, 1836. The intelligence stirred the country, however. The War Department had heard of the Dade’ massacre and of other Indian atrocities as early as January 4, but it was not until January 17 that it received official verification of the battle of the Withlacoochee.

An Indian Burial Site At Crystal River, Florida, F. G. Rainey
Florida Historical Quarterly
Crystal river rises in a group of large springs a few miles south of the Withlacoochee river on the west coast of Florida and flows westward for eight miles to the Gulf of Mexico. Fish are abundant in the river and the small town of Crystal River situated at the source owes its existence to an extensive fishing industry carried on in the region. Large oyster beds lie just off the mouth of the river and supply oysters to many cities in Florida.

A Topographical Memoir On East And West Florida With Itineraries (Concluded), Hugh Young
A Topographical Memoir On East And West Florida With Itineraries (Concluded), Hugh Young
Florida Historical Quarterly
This part of the report contains sketches of the routes of the Army from Hartford, Georgia to Fort Scott, and thence through east and west Florida to Fort Montgomery in the Alabama territory with hints for the construction and improvement of roads through the more difficult parts of the country. It was thought best to give the Itineraries the last. place in the report, as the particular description of the routes is made more intelligible and satisfactory by the general account of the country (p. 323) which preceded it.
The Schooner Emperor: An Incident Of The Illegal Slave Trade In Florida, Dorothy Dodd
The Schooner Emperor: An Incident Of The Illegal Slave Trade In Florida, Dorothy Dodd
Florida Historical Quarterly
The story of the African slave trade after its prohibition in 1808 is one which, because of the illicit nature of the trade, can never be fully known. In Florida, as in other Southern states, however, occasional hints of this subterranean traffic found their way into records which have been preserved. A record, fuller than most, found in the archives of the Florida Supreme Court as the case of the United States vs. the Schooner Emperor, may be taken as a fair illustration of the methods employed in the slave trade, when entered into upon a small scale, and of …

Henry A. Wise And The Presidency, J. E. Davis Yonge
Florida Historical Quarterly
This paper is based in part upon a number of letters written by Wise to W. F. Samford, of Alabama, during the decade prior to the War. The originals are in the possession of Dr. George Petrie, Professor of History and Dean of the Graduate School, Alabama Polytechnic Institute; and it was on his suggestion that the paper was written, some years ago, soon after the letters were brought to light.

A Topographical Memoir On East And West Florida With Itineraries, Hugh Young
Florida Historical Quarterly
In a communication from General Jackson addressed to the Hon. John C. Calhoun, Secretary of War, from Fort Gadsden, May 5, 1818, there occurs the following statement: “For a detailed account of my movements from that period to this day, you are respectfully referred to the report prepared by my adjutant general, accompanied with Captain Hugh Young’s topographical sketch of the route and distance performed”. This evidently refers to the memoir and itineraries here presented.
The Manufacture Of Cotton In Florida Before And During The Civil War, Dorothy Dodd
The Manufacture Of Cotton In Florida Before And During The Civil War, Dorothy Dodd
Florida Historical Quarterly
The fluctuating price of cotton in the 1840’s caused the cotton planters of Florida, like their brethren in other parts of the South, to consider ways in which they might stabilize the price of their staple crop in order to stave off economic ruin. 1 Numerous proposals were made to this end, 2 but none met with more widespread response throughout the South than that. of bringing the cotton mill to the cotton field by establishing cotton manufactories throughout the cotton producing regions.
