Mission To The Creek Indians In 1794, Richard K. Murdoch
Mission To The Creek Indians In 1794, Richard K. Murdoch
Florida Historical Quarterly
So much effort has been directed to the story of the resolving of the post-Revolutionary War problems of the United States and Great Britain that insufficient attention has been paid to equally vexing problems with Spain and her allies, the southern Indians. In some respects this is not strange for even during the 1790’s, the attention of the American people was directed toward Great Britain for it was with this nation that the new republic’s economic future was most intimately associated. The two decades subsequent to the birth of the new nation saw constant friction along the Florida-Georgia frontier which …
State Aid For Indigent Soldiers And Their Families In Florida, 1861-1865, William Frank Zornow
State Aid For Indigent Soldiers And Their Families In Florida, 1861-1865, William Frank Zornow
Florida Historical Quarterly
Historians have long noted the economic weaknesses of the Confederate states as compared with those of the North. From the very beginning of the war the Southern economy seemed to become increasingly stagnant. In whole areas of the Confederacy there was actual privation and an economic decline which often bore no relationship whatsoever to the proximity of the Union army. These economic deficiencies unquestionably were one of the principal reasons for its collapse.
The Railroads And The Public Lands Of Florida, 1879-1905, J. E. Dovell
The Railroads And The Public Lands Of Florida, 1879-1905, J. E. Dovell
Florida Historical Quarterly
Opportunities for profitable economic enterprise in Florida, capitalizing on the resources of the mild climate and millions of acres of unsettled land, had intrigued Northern investors long before the Civil War when Yankee visitors built the state’s first tourist industry. During the war, Northern investors moved into the federally occupied areas and planned continued and accelerated economic invasion of Florida. In the years of Reconstruction the state was “full of northern men looking for a proposition” for profitable investment. The visitation of Northerners increased from 1870 to 1890 as the United States enjoyed the new industrial expansion resulting from the …

The Struggle For Control Of The Florida Central Railroad, 1867-1882, Paul E. Fenlon
Florida Historical Quarterly
A golden age of laissez-faire capitalism began throughout the United States within a few years after Appomattox. This was an age of economic expansion which, led by railroad developments, transformed the United States within a generation, changing this country from an essentially agricultural nation into one of the most powerful industrial nations in the world. This era of transformation is sometimes called the period of the greatest industrial revolution in the history of mankind, but it was also a time when skillful financial manipulators fleeced thousands of investors and when there was widespread corruption of many local, state and federal …

Florida Seen Through The Eyes Of Nineteenth Century Travellers, Benjamin F. Rogers
Florida Seen Through The Eyes Of Nineteenth Century Travellers, Benjamin F. Rogers
Florida Historical Quarterly
During the first half of the nineteenth century, there were published both in this country and abroad a great number of books written by travellers in all parts of the United States, and especially in the South. As one Southern author observed in 1860: “The fashion has been for several years . . . to write books about the South. Englishmen, Frenchmen, Down-Eastern men, the Bloomer style of men, as well as countless numbers of female scribblers, have not ceased to drum upon the public tympanum (almost to deafness, indeed) in praise or blame - generally the latter - of …
Florida In 1643, As Seen By Its Governor, Charles W. Arnade
Florida In 1643, As Seen By Its Governor, Charles W. Arnade
Florida Historical Quarterly
Throughout much of the Spanish era Florida was a poor colony and a recurrent headache for Spain. To be stationed or live in this land was to be far from any civilization. For example: on August 29, 1644, Governor Damian de Vega Castro y Pardo wrote the King that for eight long years no subsidy or financial help [situado had reached the province, and that for more than twenty months not a bit of food had entered through Saint Augustine. Vega warned the King that the city would soon perish of starvation if aid was not forthcoming.

David Selby Walker: Educational Statesman Of Florida, Nita Katharine Pyburn
Florida Historical Quarterly
David S. Walker was a leader of distinguished ability during the formative years of the government of Florida. In addition to practicing his profession as a lawyer, he was at all times actively engaged in assuming his responsibilities as a citizen in his home community, Tallahassee, and in his State, holding various positions of trust, including elected and appointive offices. At various times he was intendant (mayor) of Tallahassee, a member of the Florida House of Representatives, of the Florida State Senate, Register of Lands and ex-officio Superintendent of Schools for the State during the 1850’s, Associate Justice of the …
Archeological Excavations In The Courtyard Of Castillo De San Marcos, St. Augustine, Florida, J. C. Harrington
Archeological Excavations In The Courtyard Of Castillo De San Marcos, St. Augustine, Florida, J. C. Harrington
Florida Historical Quarterly
The recorded history of the fortifications at St. Augustine, Florida, begins on the day the Spaniards, under Don Pedro Menendez de Aviles, landed at the Timucua Indian village of Seloy in the late summer of 1565. A large Indian communal house was turned over to the newcomers, who immediately set to work throwing up earthworks around the aboriginal structure.
Andrew Jackson Vs. The Spanish Governor, Herbert J. Doherty, Jr.
Andrew Jackson Vs. The Spanish Governor, Herbert J. Doherty, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
For more than one hundred years Andrew Jackson has been to writers of American history an exciting, inspiring, controversial, or shameful figure - according to the varying beliefs of those many writers. This writer, in recent issues of this Quarterly, has reexamined Jackson’s Florida career in two articles which were suggested by several previously unpublished Jackson letters. Several new letters coming to light have suggested a more detailed look at some of the ground covered in those earlier articles, specifically, the sources of hostility between Jackson and the last Spanish governor of West Florida, Jose Callava. Some historians have looked …

Archeology Of The Tampa Bay Area, Ripley P. Bullen
Archeology Of The Tampa Bay Area, Ripley P. Bullen
Florida Historical Quarterly
The Tampa Bay region includes the west coast of Florida from Tarpon Springs to Sarasota, or the three counties of Pinellas, Hillsborough, and Manatee; and its archeology is better known than that of any comparable region of the State. Nevertheless, in spite of the large amount of work which has been done on this area, there are many lacunae in our data. We are just beginning to glimpse the dynamics involved, and much work is required before we will have an adequate understanding of the prehistory of this area.
Florida History In Spanish Archives: Reproductions At The University Of Florida, Charles W. Arnade
Florida History In Spanish Archives: Reproductions At The University Of Florida, Charles W. Arnade
Florida Historical Quarterly
Spanish records distinguish themselves for their great length; the flow of words seems endless, the innumerable details not always to the point. They lack any businesslike method. Although every imaginable problem is discussed, if one reads the Spanish archives of Florida he is amazed to find that, for instance, little or nothing is said about the attractiveness of the country. Rarely one tells about her beautiful beaches, her waving palms, her unexcelled climate and the fertility of her soil. The Spanish records of Florida are not recommended for use by present-day chambers of commerce except to give a historical flavor …

“Southern Rights” And Yankee Humor: A Confederate-Federal Jacksonville Newspaper, Valentine B. Chamberlain
Florida Historical Quarterly
During the War for Southern Independence, Jacksonville was occupied by Federal forces several times for varying periods. On October 5, 1862, the town was seized for the second time, having just been abandoned hurriedly by most of the inhabitants who had not already left their homes earlier in the war.
Andrew Jackson’S Cronies In Florida Territorial Politics, Herbert J. Doherty Jr.
Andrew Jackson’S Cronies In Florida Territorial Politics, Herbert J. Doherty Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
In Pensacola, an ancient Spanish village but then the boomtown capital of West Florida, the fifth day of October, 1821, was greeted with an unusual air of excitement. Along Palafox and Zaragoza streets, named long since for the Spanish hero General Palafox because of his heroic defense of Zaragoza, curious townsfolk gathered in gossiping knots around the Government House and public market, both fronting on Plaza Ferdinand VII. In Austin’s Tavern, the servants clearing away the remains of the great farewell party of the previous night, must have furtively gathered around the windows and peered expectantly into the street. Each …

Interracial Relations: History And Cultural Identity In The Invention Of Wings, Taylor Hopkins
Interracial Relations: History And Cultural Identity In The Invention Of Wings, Taylor Hopkins
Undergraduate Research and Scholarship Symposium
The historical fiction novel The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd displays a notable relationship between feminist and racial ideals during the nineteenth century. The story is based on the historical figure, Sarah Grimké, an American abolitionist and advocate for women’s rights. Over the course of thirty-five years, the narration alternates between the two main characters: Sarah Grimké and Hetty Handful Grimké, a young slave on the Grimké plantation. The interactions between the two begin when Hetty is presented to Sarah as a personal waiting maid for Sarah’s eleventh birthday. As the story continues, the dynamics between the two …

Asi-Yaholo Or Osceola, Mark F. Boyd
Asi-Yaholo Or Osceola, Mark F. Boyd
Florida Historical Quarterly
Of the numerous Indian leaders who have attracted the attention, the interest, or the sympathy of the people of the whole United States, albeit they never derived any practical advantage therefrom, the notoriety attained by the Seminole leader known as Powell or Osceola, probably drew to that individual more attention than has been given to any other Indian before or since. This fame arose from his resolute opposition to enforced emigration from Florida. His motives were regarded as patriotic, and real or fancied romantic episodes of his career have become a part of our folk-lore. Although seizure and deportation thwarted …
