Civil War Operations In And Around Pensacola, Edwin C. Bearrs
Civil War Operations In And Around Pensacola, Edwin C. Bearrs
Florida Historical Quarterly
Entering Pensacola Harbor from the Gulf of Mexico in 1861 one would have seen, as he crossed the ba , Fort McRee immediately on his left on the main land or west shore of the bay and to the right Fort Pickens on the western extremity of Santa Rosa Island. This island, lying approximately parallel to the shore of the mainland, is nearly forty miles long and is separated from the mainland by Pensacola Bay. On the mainland opposite Fort Pickens and at a distance of about one and one-half miles stood Fort Barrancas and about another one and one-half …
The Civil War Letters Of August Henry Mathers, Franklin A. Doty
The Civil War Letters Of August Henry Mathers, Franklin A. Doty
Florida Historical Quarterly
The writer of the letters which follow was born in Monticello, Florida, on April 25, 1825, the son of William Henry Mathers, Jr., and Elizabeth Clarke Mathers. The details of his early education are not known. He was married on October 28, 1848, to Mary Ann Cooper, daughter of Dr. James A. Cooper, originally of Farmington, Georgia, and Elizabeth White Cooper. The young couple lived a while in Madison, Florida, before removing to Micanopy where Mathers, together with his father-m-law, opened a drug store in 1853, known in later years as the “Old Reliable Micanopy Drug Store.”
Blockage Runner, Alice Strickland
Blockage Runner, Alice Strickland
Florida Historical Quarterly
During the Civil War Confederate blockade runners played a dangerous and exciting game of hide and seek with Union gunboats off the Florida coast. President Lincoln had proclaimed the blockade on April 19, 1861, with the intention of closing the Atlantic ports of the Confederacy to trade with other nations. The South, therefore, was faced with the problem of running the blockade in order to bring in the necessities of war.

Capital Removal, Sylvia Jean Hardaway
Capital Removal, Sylvia Jean Hardaway
Florida Historical Quarterly
In 1823, two commissioners, one representing East Florida, and the other representing West Florida, selected Tallahassee as the most suitable site for the capital of the newly organized territory of Florida. However, from the very first time the Legislative Council convened at Tallahassee, pressure was brought forth to remove the capital from Tallahassee. Typical of the objections to Tallahassee was that it was so far from any settlement or habitation of civilized man, although it had been chosen by men well qualified to determine the most advantageous position near the center of the population. In the very first session of …

The Woman Suffrage Movement In Florida, A. Elizabeth Taylor
The Woman Suffrage Movement In Florida, A. Elizabeth Taylor
Florida Historical Quarterly
Early in the nineteenth century many persons began feeling acute dissatisfaction with the status of American women. Because of this sentiment they wrote, spoke, and organized for the purpose of changing this status. By the latter part of the century their efforts were producing results. In ever increasing numbers women were attending institutions of higher learning. They were engaging in many professional and business activities. In the political realm also their status was improving, and a few states were even allowing them to vote.

Gavino Gutierrez And His Contributions To Tampa, Jess L. Keene

Seventy three years ago the inhabitants around Hillsborough Bay never dreamed of the vast possibilities hidden in the scrub and native forest about them. They never dreamed that a large city was to be built at their own doors and by their own hands.
Florida And Iowa: A Contemporary View, Franklin A. Doty
Florida And Iowa: A Contemporary View, Franklin A. Doty
Florida Historical Quarterly
Within the span of one generation after the admission of Florida and Iowa to the Union, the citizens of the two states confronted each other in the awful strife of the Civil War. Portents of this bitter separation had been discernable in the birthing of the states, but who could have said with assurance that these two frontier communities, having so many more roots and inheritances in common than they had fatal divergencies, would shortly stand drawn in battle array against each other? Regardless of their common institutional origins, the two communities came to subordinate themselves to, and form a …
The Florida Ship Canal, Benjamin F. Rogers
The Florida Ship Canal, Benjamin F. Rogers
Florida Historical Quarterly
A few miles south of Ocala four huge bridge piers tower out of the underbrush to puzzle most tourists and many Floridians. These piers are monuments to a project which was pictured the moment the Spanish realized Florida was a peninsula, which was considered by Andrew Jackson, John Quincy Adams, and John C. Calhoun, which was surveyed and re-surveyed during the administrations of Calvin Coolidge and Herbert Hoover, which was undertaken and abandoned under the leadership of Franklin D. Roosevelt, and which still stirs the imagination of many Floridians - the trans-Florida canal.
Birthplaces Of The Conquistadors, Karl A. Bickel
Birthplaces Of The Conquistadors, Karl A. Bickel
Florida Historical Quarterly
Ever since I started dabbling into the business of Spanish Conquistadors; particularly Balboa, Cortes, Pizzaro and our own first great tourist Hernando De Soto, I have been interested in looking more closely into the birthplaces of these men - a topic rather lightly treated by the greater historians - and trying to find after a fashion, some of the things that made them “tick.” The thing that really started me off, however, was a paragraph in a book by Ruth Matilda Anderson of the Hispanic Society of America. The book is titled Spanish Costume - Extramadura and without question it …

Indian Presents: To Give Or Not To Give: Governor Whites's Quandary, Richard K. Murdoch
Florida Historical Quarterly
At the close of the Eighteenth Century the use of presents to obtain loyalty, friendship, neutrality or allegiance was an old story to the nations of Western Europe, dating back to the days of the Greeks and Romans. Later presents were employed for the same purpose in the feudal period and in the campaigns of the Crusaders in the Holy Land. In the early years of the modern era the Portugese used presents to obtain peaceful entry into African ports as prelude to the slave trade. And finally presents were employed in the Americas by all the colonizing powers as …
A Guide To Spanish Florida Source Material, Charles Arnade
A Guide To Spanish Florida Source Material, Charles Arnade
Florida Historical Quarterly
As the years pass the Spanish period of Florida still remains the longest of its history. Not until the year 2091 shall our American era have reached the same length as the Spanish rule. Yet historical research on Hispanic Florida is now all but stagnant compared to what is being done an thy American period. Serious research on the Spanish epochs is largely dependent on what is available from Spanish sources.
The Early Sugar Industry In Florida, Wilbur H. Siebert
The Early Sugar Industry In Florida, Wilbur H. Siebert
Florida Historical Quarterly
During the score of years of British occupation little sugar was produced in Florida. The cultivation of sugar-cane was tried only experimentally and was practically limited to small plots of land on the plantations of Lieutenant Governor John Moultrie and Richard Oswald, Esq. In 1776 only one hogshead of sugar and another of molasses were exported, although the number of barrels, casks, and puncheons of rum shipped totaled seventy-eight.
Early Newspapers Of Ocala, Eloise Robinson Ott
Early Newspapers Of Ocala, Eloise Robinson Ott
Florida Historical Quarterly
During the more than one hundred years since the printing of the first newspaper in Ocala, this community has had an important and unique part in the journalistic history of Florida. Statehood had been achieved but two years before when, in 1847, the Ocala Argus began publication. Within the next two decades, seven other newspapers were established here. Several existed but a few months, others from four to six years, but the last of this group, the East Florida Banner (later the Ocala Banner) was to have a distinguished career of usefulness, with a record of editorship and ownership within …
Florida's Overseas Railroad, David L. Willing
Florida's Overseas Railroad, David L. Willing
Florida Historical Quarterly
Soon after leaving the village of Florida City, the midtwentieth century auto traveler driving to the Florida Keys rounds a curve and comes on to the roadbed of the Overseas Highway. If he looks quickly, the driver may see mile post 397 of the Florida East Coast Railway, a few rods west of the highway. This lonely sentinel of the Everglades sawgrass, standing literally “at the end of the line,” marks the beginning of what was the Overseas Extension of the Florida East Coast Railway - a marvelous work of construction which ranks among the wonders of the world as …

Horace Greeley, Presidential Candidate: A Floridian's View, Willard E. Wight
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the presidential election of 1872, Horace Greeley, editor of the New York Tribune, was the candidate of the Liberal Republican Party and of the Democratic Party. Nominated first by the Liberal Republicans at their convention in Cincinnati, Greeley had been named by the Democrats at Baltimore in July, 1872. The Democrats not only adopted the candidate of the Liberal Republicans but also adopted their platform verbatim.
