The Seminole Indians Of Florida, Minnie Moore-Willson
The Seminole Indians Of Florida, Minnie Moore-Willson
Florida Historical Quarterly
Looking backwards for nearly two centuries we see a band of red Americans, who are to become the Seminoles, separate themselves from the Creek Confederacy of Georgia and Alabama and cross the boundary into Florida. Subjects now of the Spanish crown, they become a nation to themselves, and under the sunny skies of the peninsular establish their golden-rule tribal government-characterized throughout by independence, kindliness, and honor.
An Early Poem On Florida
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the Bodleian Library at Oxford, there is to be found in Ashmolean Manuscript 48, ff. 140b, 141, a poem on Florida. The penmanship suggests the early part of the seventeenth century; certain stanzas are of prior origin.
Macgregor’S Invasion Of Florida, T. Frederick Davis
Macgregor’S Invasion Of Florida, T. Frederick Davis
Florida Historical Quarterly
Gregor MacGregor was the grandson of Gregor MacGregor, the Scotchman, who enlisted in the Black Watch, then Semphill’s Highlanders, and was called in Gaelic “Gregor, the Beautiful.” When the regiment was first ordered to England, in 1743, “Gregor, the Beautiful” and two others were sent on in advance to London, so that the king of England, who was on the point of starting for the continent, might see some soldiers of the regiment before leaving. One of the men died en route, but MacGregor and the other were paraded before the king at St. James’s and gave an exhibition of …

Fort George (St. Michael), Pensacola, Frederick Cubberly
Fort George (St. Michael), Pensacola, Frederick Cubberly
Florida Historical Quarterly
On viewing Pensacola for the first time one is at once impressed with the gradual rise of Palafox Street from the waters of the bay northward to the top of an eminence where tall shaft has been erected in memory of the soldiers of the Confederacy. To the southwest of this monument there are still traces of a fort where grim-visaged war was waged more than a century ago. Flags of three nations have waved from the fortification built on this commanding position, and the results of battles fought here have reached to distant lands and had weight in the …

Florida Place-Names Of Indian Origin, Frank Drew
Florida Historical Quarterly
The first portion of this article, all that relates to the Indian Netahyaonka, has been taken by the Editor from a letter of Mr. Drew’s. This narrative of that survivor of the ancient Miccosukees gives additional interest to the author’s former notes on Florida Indian names (published here in the issues of April, 1926, and July, 1927) and to those which will appear in coming numbers of the Quarterly.

Jesuit Martyrs In Florida, Samuel H. Ray S.J.
Jesuit Martyrs In Florida, Samuel H. Ray S.J.
Florida Historical Quarterly
Sanson d’Abbeville, the Royal Geographer of France, tells us that Florida of the latter part of the sixteenth century could be considered a part of New France, since the French were the first to establish a colony there with the consent of the inhabitants of the country.
The Legal Status Of The Negro In Florida, Thelma Bates
The Legal Status Of The Negro In Florida, Thelma Bates
Florida Historical Quarterly
The history of the negro has been for centuries a history of enslavement. Sir Harry Johnston observed that the negro, “more than any other human type has been marked out by his mental and physical characteristics as the servant of other races.” His dominant characteristics, docility, submissiveness, cheerfulness of disposition and a short memory for sorrows and cruelties have made him largely subordinate to others. “Of this disposition the most aggressive and progressive race has taken advantage and for centuries held the black man in bondage."

History Of The Introduction And Culture Of Cuba Tobacco In Florida, Charles H. Dupont
History Of The Introduction And Culture Of Cuba Tobacco In Florida, Charles H. Dupont
Florida Historical Quarterly
An address delivered before the Florida Fruit Growers Association, at Jacksonville, January 20, 1875, by Ex-Chief Justice Charles H. DuPont of the Supreme Court of Florida, and taken from the Proceedings of that meeting. It is now believed that in the history of a people a record of the lives of the people themselves is of greater import than that of those in authority. The facts regarding early tobacco growing in Florida are now generally unknown, but of greater importance is the record of Judge Dupont’s observations extending over a period of forty years on “the influence of tobacco culture …

These letters, written during Dr. Forry’s service in Florida, and relating to the Seminole War, are in the possession of John Wolcott Phelps, of Northfield, Massachusetts, a son of Gen. J. W. Phelps to whom they were written. Samuel Forry, born June 23, 1811, at Berlin, Pennsylvania, received his degree in medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and was appointed assistant surgeon, U. S. Army, in 1836, serving until 1840. He wrote: The Climate of the United States and its Endemic Influences, New York, 1842; Meteorology.
