Memoir Of A West Pointer In Florida: 1825, Cecil D. Eby, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the early summer of 1825 the group of Seminoles relegated to the Big Swamp area of central Florida by the treaty of Moultrie Creek, signed two years before, were subjected to a drought so severe that nearly their whole crop was destroyed. Forced to subsist upon game, the Indians obtained permission from Major Gad Humphreys, their agent at the post that later became known as Fort King, to send hunting parties beyond the boundaries of their reservation to the north. While the incursion of Indian hunters into territories belonging legally to white settlers was absolutely necessary for the survival …
The Story Of Captain John C. Casey, Fred W. Wallace
The Story Of Captain John C. Casey, Fred W. Wallace
Florida Historical Quarterly
One link in the chain of off-shore islands extending from Anclote Key southward along Florida’s Gulf coast is Casey Key in Sarasota County. This little Key has more than its share of natural beauty and charm yet remains one of the least known islands. Although little is heard of Casey Key, except locally, for which the residents who value privacy are grateful, even more obscure is the origin of the name. One historian has written, “When and how Casey’s Pass was named no one knows. According to waterfront legend an Irishman named Casey settled there for a number of years …

Lincoln's Courier: John L. Worden's Mission To Fort Pickens, James P. Jones
Florida Historical Quarterly
The spring of 1861 was a time of decision-making for the newly installed Lincoln administration. First on the agenda was the reinforcement and supply of Ft. Sumter, but an equally grave problem involved Ft. Pickens in Pensacola harbor. For several months a truce arranged between two members of President Buchanan’s cabinet and Confederate military authorities had been in force. This truce was an agreement not to reinforce Pickens if the Confederates promised not to attack. By March, 1861, Lincoln, Secretary of the Navy Gideon Welles, and General Winfield Scott were growing concerned over the Pensacola situation. The Pickens garrison remained …
The Constitutional Convention Of 1885, Edward C. Williamson
The Constitutional Convention Of 1885, Edward C. Williamson
Florida Historical Quarterly
Florida in 1885 was a rural state, a long strip of relatively unoccupied frontier of the deep South. It sprawled from Pensacola to Key West with few farms or people south of Ocala. An inadequate system of transportation composed of sail and rail loosely tied the state together. Key West, its ties to Florida consisting of a few trading schooners, was the largest town. Counties large in area but small in population were in the south; those small in area but larger in population were in the north.

Memorial: Julien Chandler Yonge, Rembert W. Patrick
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the fall of 1892 a thirteen-year-old boy requested and received a copy of Campbell’s Historical Sketches of Colonial Florida. Beginning with Panfilo de Narvaez’s discovery of Pensacola Bay, the 284-page book traced the explorations of Hernando de Soto, described the ill-fated attempt of Tristan de Luna to found a colony at Pensacola, and detailed the eventual permanent settlement there. The author emphasized the British Period of Colonial Florida, overweighted the importance of Pensacola, and ended his narrative with the American occupation of the province.

A War Correspondent's View Of St. Augustine And Fernandina: 1863, P. J. Staudenraus

Noah Brooks, born in Castine, Maine, in 1830, was an experienced newspaper man by the age of twenty-five. He worked for newspapers in Massachusetts, Illinois, and California before going to Washington, D. C., in December, 1862, as special correspondent for the Sacramento Daily Union. During the three years Brooks lived in the national capital he became a personal friend of President Lincoln whom he first met in Illinois in 1856. Before Lincoln died he asked Brooks to be his personal secretary. Brooks’s visit to Union Army stations along the coast of South Carolina and Florida in June, 1863, was one …

Florida Volunteers In The War With Spain, 1898, William Schellings
Florida Volunteers In The War With Spain, 1898, William Schellings
Florida Historical Quarterly
For many years the Spanish American War has been referred to as a “Splendid Little War.” John Hay first used the term to describe the war in a letter to his friend Theodore Roosevelt and Teddy, without doubt, fully agreed. Recently Professor Frank Freidel used the same words to title a book concerning that war. Perhaps many of the participants in the Second World War, or the Korean conflict, would also agree that the war with Spain was a comparatively splendid affair as wars go. Imagine a war in which there was no draft, and that was fought largely by …

The Blockade And Fall Of Apalachicola, 1861-1862, Joseph D. Cushman, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
President Lincoln proclaimed the blockade of all Confederate ports on April 19, 1861. In order to make the blockade effective, the United States Navy was split into two squadrons: the Atlantic Squadron which was to guard the entire Atlantic coast as far south as Cape Florida; and the Gulf Squadron which was responsible for the vast Gulf coast, an area which extended from Cape Florida to the Mexican border. Early in 1862 the Gulf Squadron was divided again into a West Gulf Squadron and an East Gulf Squadron. The area guarded by the East Gulf Squadron extended from Cape Canaveral …

The English Invasion Of Spanish Florida, 1700-1706, Charles W. Arnade
Florida Historical Quarterly
Though Florida had been discovered by Ponce de Leon in 1513, not until 1565 did it become a Spanish province in fact. In that year Pedro Menendez de Aviles was able to establish a permanent capital which he called St. Augustine. Menendez and successive executives had plans to make St. Augustine a thriving metropolis ruling over a vast Spanish colony that might possibly be elevated to a viceroyalty. Nothing of this sort happened. By 1599 Florida was in desperate straits: Indians had rebelled and butchered the Franciscan missionaries, fire and flood had made life in St. Augustine miserable, English pirates …
The Irony Of Secession, Donal R. Hadd
The Irony Of Secession, Donal R. Hadd
Florida Historical Quarterly
The election of Abraham Lincoln to the presidency of the United States marked the beginning of active measures for separation in the state of Florida. Throughout the state mass meetings were held to protest the ascendancy of “Black Republicanism.” The term “secession” so truculently advanced by a militant minority since the Compromise of 1850 began to be advanced by an ever increasing number of Floridians inflamed by the spirit of the time.
Two Seminole Treaties: Payne's Landing, 1832, Ft. Gibson, 1833, John K. Mahon
Two Seminole Treaties: Payne's Landing, 1832, Ft. Gibson, 1833, John K. Mahon
Florida Historical Quarterly
The treaty of Moultrie Creek or Camp Moultrie, of 1823, quickly revealed more weaknesses than strengths. Conspicuous among them was the absence of any deadline date by which the Seminoles were expected to be within the boundaries of their reservation. Very shortly it became obvious that the Indians were dissatisfied with the treaty, did not want to move, and were in no hurry to do so. Even after months had passed, still only a few had entered the reservation.
