Florida Historical Quarterly
Readers of the Florida Historical Quarterly are assumed to know the source of the present-day titles to the lands that make up our State. Some know more of the details of the devolutions involved than others and a few doubtless are learned in the subject. To the latter, progress toward such high estate of erudition has been tedious and oft-times discouraging. There have been few signboards along the way, but now more guide-posts have been placed for the learned and the novice.

James Holmes’S Florida Plantation, 1804, Lewis Leary
James Holmes’S Florida Plantation, 1804, Lewis Leary
Florida Historical Quarterly
Congressman James Mott was worried about his nephew. It was years since young James Holmes had left his family in Monmouth, New Jersey, to seek his fortune in Georgia. Finally, in January 1804, the congressman wrote Peter Freneau, also a Monmouth man, who had settled in the south, and had lived in Charleston since the close of the Revolution, and was now editing the influential City Gazette of that city.

The Return Of Spanish Rule To The St. Marys And The St. Johns, 1813-1821, D. C. Corbitt
Florida Historical Quarterly
If the United States Supreme Court had wanted a precedent for deciding the insular cases it might have found one in Spain’s treatment of the St. Marys-St. Johns district in 1813. When brought face to face with the question of applying the Spanish Constitution of 1812 to that area, Governor Sebastian Kindelan of East Florida, like the United States Supreme Court a century later, decided that the Constitution did not follow the flag. Higher authorities supported the governor in his decision, which, as will be shown below, was a result of the “Republic of Florida” episode of 1812-1813.

Source Materials Of Florida History In The John Carter Brown Library Of Brown University, Lawrence C. Wroth
Florida Historical Quarterly
In his search for the rarest of historical material on colonial Florida, the historian will find in the John Carter Brown Library a good part of all that is available anywhere. There an extraordinary collection of source materials on the history of North, South, and Central America of the period before 1801 has been brought together for the use of scholars. More than four hundred titles, many of the utmost rarity and some unique, have been listed in that library for the Union Catalog of Floridiana. The most important of these have been selected and are described here by Dr. …

The Courts Of Territorial Florida, Charles D. Farris
The Courts Of Territorial Florida, Charles D. Farris
Florida Historical Quarterly
The organic act establishing the Territory of Florida was passed by Congress on March 30, 1822. Another act of Congress admitted Florida into the union of states on March 23, 1845. 2 Provision was made for either the appointment or the election, by October 1845, of all officers under the state government who succeeded to functions of officers under the territorial government. 3 The territorial period, therefore, may be said to have ended with the elections in October 1845.

Never before has there been an instance of the formation of a great nation like our own, in which so many different races and nationalities have taken part. The sturdy English, the thrifty Scotch, the buoyant Irish, the Spaniards, Germans, French, Italians, Dutch, Scandinavians and others are all represented in our country’s fabric, irrespective of their religious tenets or affiliations. And so it is not surprising to find that Jews were also among these pioneers. Though but few in number, they appear in every one of the original thirteen colonies throughout the colonial and revolutionary periods, and also later on …

Some Notes On An Archeological Survey For Florida, H. Dunscombe Colt
Some Notes On An Archeological Survey For Florida, H. Dunscombe Colt
Florida Historical Quarterly
In these days of increasing population and expanding communities, it is inevitable that many of the historical antiquities should disappear. The Indian mounds are not alone in this respect, for the remains of the early colonial periods are also succumbing to modern demands. In order therefore to preserve, in record at least, as much as possible for the future, a register of all existing antiquities should be compiled before it is too late.
Florida, Promoter Of Cuban Liberty, Ruby Leach Carson
Florida, Promoter Of Cuban Liberty, Ruby Leach Carson
Florida Historical Quarterly
Florida’s geographical peculiarities have resulted always in giving her a colorful history, and at no time has this been more evident than during the Cuban War of Independence, previous to American intervention. This period, from 1895 to 1898, has provided inspiration for many books and articles about the Cuban Juntas formed in the United States and about their filibustering enterprises. Because Florida’s ragged outline forms an arm which Uncle Sam extends into the affairs of Spanish America, it was inevitable that Cuban insurrectionists should lean heavily upon this arm after they declared their independence from Spain. An effort to assemble …

Spanish Contributions In Florida To American Culture, Verne E. Chatelain
Florida Historical Quarterly
Among the numerous steps taken by Spain during the sixteenth century in its efforts to establish dominion over the New World, none are deserving of greater attention from the standpoint of our own national history than the founding of St. Augustine in the year 1565. The fact that this little settlement which was only one of approximately 200 Spanish towns and cities then existing in the Indies, remained a Spanish colony for nearly two centuries and was always an indispensable factor in the defensive strategy employed by Spain for safe-guarding its commerce as well as in perpetuating its control over …

Mexican Resemblances In The Southeastern Area Of The United States, Doris Stone
Florida Historical Quarterly
The Indians who have inhabited this region belong to various groups, some of which have migrated hither in historical times (as the Shawnee). The most important are the Muskogian tribes, of which the Creek, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Seminole, and Natchez are members. However, we find isolated tribes belonging to the large northern and eastern groups of Iroquois and Algonquin Indians, as well as Siouan from the Great Plains, and several less important peoples who came into this area from the Ohio valley.

The Board of Directors last year authorized President Hanna to organize a committee on archeology, and Dr. Winter, an experienced archeologist, was appointed chairman. His graduate work was done at the University of Chicago, and during the past three years, as Archeologist and Assistant Director of Research for the St. Augustine Historical Program of Carnegie Institution of Washington, he has surveyed in a general way the archeological research possibilities of Florida. The other members of the committee are: D. Graham Copeland, Francis B. Crowninshield, Dr. A. R. L. Dohme, W. B. Goodwin, R. R. Otis, Mrs. Doris Stone, and Mrs. …

Any descriptive writing of general character by an intelligent observer a century or more ago is almost certain to contain valuable information for the historian; and this is especially true for Florida. The following account presents a view of East Florida in 1817, four years before the United States officially occupied it through cession by Spain.
