A Scientist Observes Florida: 1870, John Large, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
No roll of nineteenth century America’s eminent men of science would be complete without the name of Jared Potter Kirtkurd. His noteworthy career was no less of an ornament to the historical recollection of northeastern Ohio than to the scientific fraternity of the country as a whole. Kirtland’s endeavors led him into many areas of public enlightenment. Born in Connecticut in 1793, of deeply-rooted New England ancestry, young Jared had shown an early enthusiasm for horticulture and natural history. At the age of fifteen years he made an original scientific contribution. Later in 1815, at Yale Medical College, he received …

The End Of An Idyll, Robert L. Anderson
The End Of An Idyll, Robert L. Anderson
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the year 1687 a boat arrived in St. Augustine containing ten Negroes-eight men and two women-who had fled slavery in the English settlement of St. George to the north of St. Augustine. If this little group were not the first to flee from the practices of the English settlements of North America, they were among the first for whom documentation is available. The significance of the event is that at an early date Florida began to function as an escape-valve, as an attractive alternative to a life of servitude in the colonies to the north. It might be maintained …
Politics And Property During The Transfer Of Florida From Spanish To English Rule, 1763-1764, Robert L. Gold
Politics And Property During The Transfer Of Florida From Spanish To English Rule, 1763-1764, Robert L. Gold
Florida Historical Quarterly
England acquired legal and sovereign control of Spanish Florida on February 10, 1763. After more than a century of imperialistic adventures, which had assumed the form of invasions and guerrilla penetrations from her colonies to the north, Great Britain wrested Florida from Spain’s grip at the Paris peace conferences following the French and Indian War. Because the British had successfully assaulted Havana in the summer of 1762, the Spanish negotiators reluctantly bartered Florida away in order to retrieve their great treasure terminal of the Indies. Less than four months of diplomacy were required to arrange the end of almost two …

Recent Problems Of Florida History, Charles W. Arnade
Recent Problems Of Florida History, Charles W. Arnade
Florida Historical Quarterly
The time I come to you not with a research paper which has resurrected from oblivion with the help of original documents a certain phase or episode of Florida history. That kind of job is tedious but rewarding and requires expert training, enthusiasm, perseverance, and often linguistic and paleographic knowledge. This last might seem to be snobbish or an expression of professional conceit. It is not. Rather, it emphasizes the problem we face here in Florida in dealing with state and local history. This problem is nothing other than what is the difference and what should be the proper cooperation …

One of the notable old family names of Georgia and Florida is that of Hallowes. The founder of the Florida branch of this family was Miller Hallowes, an ancestor of Miss Elise Dancy Davis of Tallahasee. On a visit to England in 1960, Miss Davis was able to consult the researches of Dr. Lorton A. Wilson of Derby who had devoted the years of his retirement to tracing his origins and those of his wife, who was a Hallowes descendant. Through the kind offices of Miss Moira Wilson, the late Dr. Wilson’s daughter, and the Irish Genealogical Society, with whom …

The Constitution Of 1868, Jerrell H. Shofner
The Constitution Of 1868, Jerrell H. Shofner
Florida Historical Quarterly
On March 2, 1867, Congress enacted a law declaring that no legal government existed in Florida. As a part of the Third Military District, Florida was placed under a commander whose authority was superior to the outlawed state government. The law provided that the state could resume normal relations with the Union when it had adopted the fourteenth amendment and formed a constitution in conformity with the Constitution of the United States. This instrument was to be drawn up by a convention of delegates elected by all eligible male citizens, ratified by the people, and approved by Congress. No persons …
Jacksonville During The Civil War, Samuel Proctor
Jacksonville During The Civil War, Samuel Proctor
Florida Historical Quarterly
The year 1860 was one of political unrest and agitation in Florida. Most Southerners argued with an unyielding passion that secession had become a matter of necessity and that independence was the only possible course of action for the South. A political meeting in Jacksonville on May 15, 1860, overwhelmingly resolved: “We are of the opinion that the right of the citizens of Florida are no longer safe in the Union and we think she should raise the banner of secession and invite her southern sisters to join her.” The Jacksonville Standard, on July 26, 1860, announced that if “in …
Tampa At The Close Of The Nineteenth Century, Jose Rivero Muniz
Tampa At The Close Of The Nineteenth Century, Jose Rivero Muniz
Florida Historical Quarterly
Before the advent of the tobacco industry, Tampa was a population center of slight importance in the State of Florida. Fishing, wood-cutting, and the cultivation of certain vegetables were the principal occupation of its few inhabitants. Located on sandy and relatively arid ground which was covered by few trees other than stunted pines and unexploitable palmetto palms, the extensive prairies of the region were marked principally by numerous marshes and a few sulphur springs. It was not an infrequent occurrence among the isolated thickets to stumble upon an apparently sleeping alligator or a scarcely less dangerous rattlesnake or water moccasin.
Textbook Writers And The Florida "Purchase" Myth, Harris G. Warren
Textbook Writers And The Florida "Purchase" Myth, Harris G. Warren
Florida Historical Quarterly
That teachers and writers of history must strive for accuracy is a proposition hardly open to debate. Our textbook writers labor under an especially heavy charge to keep us abreast of research which corrects misinterpretations and presents newly discovered facts. They must not call true those myths or fables which once masqueraded as sober fact. No history professor would be likely to adopt a text which presented the cherry tree myth as a true incident in Washington’s life. Yet many textbooks contain explanations which do not conform with the published results of careful research. A case in point is the …

Wreckers And Wrecking On The Florida Reef, 1829-1832, E. A. Hammond
Wreckers And Wrecking On The Florida Reef, 1829-1832, E. A. Hammond
Florida Historical Quarterly
Dr. Benjamin B. Strobel, Charleston physician, left his South Carolina home in September, 1829, to seek professional opportunity in Key West, Florida. What motivated his departure is never totally disclosed in his writings, nor does he indicate his reasons for choosing the comparative primitiveness of the Florida Keys. He reveals only that he “was some time in doubt as to what course I should steer, when, having heard that there was something in my profession at Key West, I determined at once to go there.” Nevertheless, upon arriving at the island town of some five hundred inhabitants just staggering through …

La Floride: 1565, James W. Covington
Florida Historical Quarterly
The coming of the French Huguenots to Florida in 1564 and their establishment of an outpost known as Fort Caroline proved to be a remarkable event both for Spanish imperialism and the student of Indian customs and law. When the King of Spain learned that the French had invaded land which he considered to be his own and that renegade groups had raided nearby islands, he ordered Pedro Menendez de Aviles to organize a force and expel the invaders. Part of the contract signed by Menendez included the founding of two towns in Florida. Thus, when Menendez landed in Florida …
An Evaluation Of The Freedmen's Bureau In Florida, Joe M. Richardson
An Evaluation Of The Freedmen's Bureau In Florida, Joe M. Richardson
Florida Historical Quarterly
Like any controversial subject, the Freedmen’s Bureau is difficult to evaluate. Nearly any generalization applied to that federal agency requires qualification. It possessed some undesirable features, but it had many redeeming traits and much of its work is deserving of commendation. Furthermore, the organization of the Bureau was flexible enough to enable it to adapt to and meet local needs. Therefore, its value in any locale depended to a large extent on the character and competency of the Assistant Commissioner and local agents. The Bureau officials in Florida were, in general, a creditable group and their accomplishments are worthy of …

James Ormond, Merchant And Soldier, Alice Strickland
Florida Historical Quarterly
The first member of the Ormond family to come to Florida was a Scotchman, James Ormond I, who owned and commanded an armed brig, the Somerset, which sailed in the services of the famous trading firm of Panton and Leslie. In the 1700’s James Ormond sailed the Somerset in the pirate-infested waters of the West Indies and between Savannah and present day Apalachicola. Later in life Ormond gave up seafaring and settled down on a cotton plantation on the island of Exuma in the West Indies. The invitation from the Spanish government for settlers to come to Florida, and the …
