George I. F. Clarke, C. Seton Fleming
George I. F. Clarke, C. Seton Fleming
Florida Historical Quarterly
One of the most interesting characters in the early history of Florida was George I. F. Clarke, an Englishman. He was engineer for the British Government during its possession of Florida and continued this work throughout the succeeding Spanish period and for many years after Florida’s cession to the United States. 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. Clarke made many of the surveys of royal grants, and was …

Florida's Spanish Missions, A. H. Phinney
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 fierce desire for gold, that led to the inhuman treatment of the Indians, for a time rendered of no avail the efforts of the priests.

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

Florida Historical Quarterly
This is the first part of Dr. Porter’s Reminiscences mentioned in the last number of the Quarterly. They are told in narrative style, without revision, for it is believed that in this form they will not only be more interesting but will be of at least as great historical value. -Editor.
Capital Removal, Florida Historical Society
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.

Narvaez And De Soto: Their Landing Places And The Town Of Espirito Santo, A. H. Phinney
Florida Historical Quarterly
But little is known of Ponce de Leon’s two voyages to Florida. It is said that the first time he landed somewhere between the present Jacksonville and New Smyrna. We have no knowledge as to where he was defeated by the Indians when he came the second time. After Ponce de Leon came Narvaez in 1528. We have quite a full account of his expedition, written by his Treasurer, Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca. From this history we are able to definitely know where Narvaez found a landing place.

The Importance Of Historical Societies, Florida Historical Society
The Importance Of Historical Societies, Florida Historical Society
Florida Historical Quarterly
This subject can best be introduced with concrete illustrations. A year ago several Tallahasseeans interested in Florida history heard that many old letters and books were in the attic of a near-by plantation house which had been built more than twenty years before the Civil War. Attracted there, they found the unfinished attic littered with business and social letters, documents, and books - all of ante-bellum days. The greatest prize discovered was a dilapidated journal of the overseer of the slaves, of which there were more than one hundred on the place as early as 1836. As this journal gave …
