British And Spanish Fortifications Of Pensacola, 1781-1821, Stanley Faye
Florida Historical Quarterly
Late in the war for the independence of the United States, Spain joined France and this country in their contest with British power. The Spanish commandant of St. Louis sent a. company across the Illinois prairies to attack a British post beyond Lake Michigan; a larger force from New Orleans occupied the district of Baton Rouge and other western regions of British West Florida, and in March 1781 the governor of Spanish Louisiana came by land and sea and laid siege to British Pensacola.
The Proposed Division Of The Territory Of Florida, Walter Martin
The Proposed Division Of The Territory Of Florida, Walter Martin
Florida Historical Quarterly
Florida was ceded to the United States by Spain in 1821 as two quite separate provinces, East and West Florida. East Florida had grown up in the St. Johns river section and around the ancient city of St. Augustine. Bathed in Spanish tradition and custom, this section felt no dependence on or interest in West Florida which was centered some 400 miles to the west at Pensacola. There were virtually no towns between the two capitals, and most of the vast wilderness between St. Augustine and Pensacola was inhabited by Indians who were none too friendly. By nature the two …
Florida’S Part In The War With Mexico, T. Frederick Davis
Florida’S Part In The War With Mexico, T. Frederick Davis
Florida Historical Quarterly
The capture of a battalion of United States troops by Mexican forces on the Texas side of the Rio Grande, the disputed boundary, followed by an expedition into Mexico proper by General Zachary Taylor precipitated the Mexican war. When reports of these events reached Washington, Congress on May 12, 1846, passed “An Act providing for the prosecution of the existing war between the United States and the Republic of Mexico". The following day, the act was approved by the President, who issued his proclamation that war existed between the two republics. The Mexican Congress declared war against the United States …

Samuel A. Swann And The Development Of Florida, 1855-1900, Helen R. Sharp
Samuel A. Swann And The Development Of Florida, 1855-1900, Helen R. Sharp
Florida Historical Quarterly
The development of any community or geographic division is greatly influenced by those who promote its beginnings and further its growth. Among those who had confidence in the future of Florida was Samuel A. Swann, whose activities from 1855 to 1909 show that he was a valuable and conscientious supporter of the economic expansion of the state and of the city of Fernandina. His business interests were so varied and extensive in character that they present a cross-section of the development of Florida during the period in question, particularly in the opening of, public lands for settlement.
Spanish Fortifications Of Pensacola, 1698-1763, Stanley Faye
Spanish Fortifications Of Pensacola, 1698-1763, Stanley Faye
Florida Historical Quarterly
Spain knew toward the end of the seventeenth century that her enemy France soon would be colonizing the Mississippi valley. Wilderness guarded Mexico (New Spain) from an attack by any French soldiers who should garrison the future posts of Louisiana. In order that a hostile fleet might not sail against Spanish ports of the Gulf, Spain took steps to occupy the one still unoccupied Gulf port deep enough to serve as base for such a fleet. 1 So in April of 1693 a Mexican mathematician, Don Carlos de Siguenza y Gongora, led an official expedition into Pensacola bay to investigate …
St. Augustine Under The British Flag, 1763-1775, Charles L. Mowat
St. Augustine Under The British Flag, 1763-1775, Charles L. Mowat
Florida Historical Quarterly
The city of St. Augustine, in the serenity which comes from nearly four hundred years of existence, inevitably carries the visitor back to the days of the Spanish Empire. Its narrow streets, its low coquina houses with their balconies overhanging the roadway, its shady square running from the old Governor’s House down to the bay, and above all the massive yet graceful lines of the fort which should be called as of old Castillo de San Marcos, all bring back the spirit of the Old World to blend with that of the New into something of its original charm and …

The Confederate Baggage And Treasure Train Ends Its Flight In Florida: A Diary Of Tench Francis Tilghman
Florida Historical Quarterly
Editor’s note : The widespread interest aroused by A. J. Hanna’s latest publication FLIGHT INTO OBLIVION suggests that readers of the QUARTERLY will wish to read the diary of Tench Francis Tilghman on which a chapter of that book is based. In editing the diary Professcr Hanna* has used the mass of materials he assembled through years of research for his book to give us a picture of conditions in Florida in 1865. For this he has a noteworthy heritage, as each branch of his family came to Florida before the War, and two of his great-grandfathers were here before …
Florida’S First Constitution
Florida Historical Quarterly
The constitution of 1838-1839, formulated by representative delegates and adopted at the polls, represented the dominant will of the people of the Territory of Florida in emerging from a status of territorial dependence upon the Federal government into that of a sovereign State subject only to the Federal constitution.
The Voluntary Exile Of Free Negroes Of Pensacola
The Voluntary Exile Of Free Negroes Of Pensacola
Florida Historical Quarterly
Longfellow immortalized the banishment of the Arcadians, yet a voluntary expatriation equally as touching received only a brief notice in a Pensacola newspaper of 1857: The Exodus:-On Tuesday last thirty five free colored persons took their departure from this city for Tampico, and in a few days the balance who are still remaining will also leave. for the same place.

They take with them the sympathy of all our citizens on account of the causes which have …

The publication of the first number (March 1941) of this periodical is a noteworthy event in the writing of Florida’s history. Professor Lewis Leary of the University of Miami is its editor, and it is issued as a bulletin of the University. Its forthcoming appearance was noted in our last issue where its board of editors and plans of publication were mentioned. Nine articles with a column of Notes and Queries comprise this issue, and their interest and historical value call for a brief review of each.
