The Florida Militia And The Affair At Withlacoochee, Samuel E. Cobb Mar 2021

The Florida Militia And The Affair At Withlacoochee, Samuel E. Cobb

Florida Historical Quarterly

Many varied types of organizations, generally spoken of as the militia, came into existence during the Seminole wars in Florida. They ranged from ephemeral units, organized for a particular purpose and at a particular time which were disbanded after a retaliatory attack had been made on the Indians, or the raiding Indians had been dispersed to the fairly well organized military unit, mobilized under the authority of the territorial and national governments and attached to the Federal army.


Colonial Pensacola: The British Period. Part I, Clinton N. Howard Mar 2021

Colonial Pensacola: The British Period. Part I, Clinton N. Howard

Florida Historical Quarterly

Pensacola came to Great Britain as a part of the cessions of Spain at the close of the Seven Years war. The treaty of Paris which closed that war and incorporated the cession of Pensacola and all of Florida in its provisions was a turning point in the history of the British empire and of North America. The counterpart of the cession of Florida to Britain and the return of Havana to Spain was the cession of eastern Louisiana by France to Britain; and the relative value of the interior of the North American continent as compared with the Caribbean, …


The Yellow Fever Epidemic Of 1888 In Jacksonville, Margaret C. Fairlie Mar 2021

The Yellow Fever Epidemic Of 1888 In Jacksonville, Margaret C. Fairlie

Florida Historical Quarterly

The first of the four thousand six hundred fifty-six cases of yellow fever recorded in Jacksonville in the summer and fall of 1888 was that of R. D. McCormick who had lately come from Tampa and who was reported ill on July 28. Though this caused some alarm, the assurance of the Board of Health that it was a sporadic case seemed to calm all fears.

Florida Historical Society, The Annual Meeting 1940, Florida Historical Society Mar 2021

Florida Historical Society, The Annual Meeting 1940, Florida Historical Society

Florida Historical Quarterly

Members of the Society came to Quincy and Tallahassee from Miami, from Pensacola, from Tampa, from Jacksonville, and between, for the annual meeting on March 27-29. In addition to our many local members, more than forty came from a distance, so in this respect the meeting was the most successful ever held. Nor have the number and the quality of the papers read ever been surpassed. So this meeting takes its place with the one or two most notable ones of other years, and the members throughout the State who were not there join with those who came in recording …

The Tekesta Indians Of Southern Florida, John Mann Groggin Mar 2021

The Tekesta Indians Of Southern Florida, John Mann Groggin

Florida Historical Quarterly

The Tekesta Indians at the time of the discovery of America occupied a portion of southeastern Florida. This area seems to have comprised the greater part of Dade county and possibly to have extended north to Pompano in Broward county. To the south toward Cape Sable it is difficult to tell where the boundary between the Calusa and the Tekesta was, although Barcia says there was a Tekesta village named Abayoa at the southern extremity of the Florida peninsula (probably Cape Sable). (Barcia, Ensayo 2, bibliography, post). However, archaeological evidence seems to indicate that sites about Cape Sable are more …


The Great Storm, Tallahassee, August, 1851, Florida Historical Society Mar 2021

The Great Storm, Tallahassee, August, 1851, Florida Historical Society

Florida Historical Quarterly

When we * went to press last week, the 23rd, we mentioned that a storm was raging which threatened to be very disastrous. It grew to be even more disastrous than we anticipated. Such an one has not been felt here within the memory of man. Neither that of 1843, which destroyed Port Leon, nor the one of 1837, was so violent and terrible. It lasted from an early hour of the morning on Saturday [August 23] till near the dawn on Sunday - at first the wind blowing in squalls more or less frequent from the East, then about …

A Prelude To The Creek War Of 1813-1814, John Innerarity To James Innerarity, Elizabeth Howard West Mar 2021

A Prelude To The Creek War Of 1813-1814, John Innerarity To James Innerarity, Elizabeth Howard West

Florida Historical Quarterly

This letter is of unusual historical significance, for it describes the visit of McQueen and his Creeks to Pensacola, which resulted in the attack of the whites on the Indians at Burnt Corn Creek, the first fight of the war. Without this Creek victory as fuel for the war party and aid in bringing the waverers along with them, Big Warrior’s peace party might well have carried the majority with them instead. Innerarity’s letter is important in the light it throws on the relations of Governor Manrique with McQueen, and his furnishing the Indians with a large amount of ammunition- …

A Digest Of Florida Material In Niles’ Register, Florida Historical Society Mar 2021

A Digest Of Florida Material In Niles’ Register, Florida Historical Society

Florida Historical Quarterly

Historians who write of the first half of the last century in the United States should be and are grateful to Hezekiah Niles. His Niles’ Register with its motto “The Past-The Present-For the Future” has preserved for them much that would otherwise be lost completely, and much else that is all but lost in inaccessible or too voluminous governmental and other records. This is especially true for Florida’s history. So little has been preserved in the State relating to, its past, that our historians must usually go elsewhere for their Florida material.
