No Home For The Society In Tallahassee, Florida Historical Society
No Home For The Society In Tallahassee, Florida Historical Society
Florida Historical Quarterly
The governments of many states provide homes for and give other aid to their State historical societies. At the annual meeting of the Society in 1947 the question of asking for space in some State owned building in Tallahassee was discussed and a resolution was adopted requesting the Society’s Legislative Committee to draft such a bill and endeavor to secure its passage, but no agreement was to be made that the Society would accept the space that might be offered.

Florida Historical Quarterly
In continuation of its series of quarterly program meetings, the Jacksonville Historical Society presented two addresses on February 10 before a large gathering of the history-minded. Mrs. Margaret Fleming Biddle carried her hearers back to early days in picturing "Hibernia, Fleming’s Island" - a picture which should be recorded in print so that others now and in after years might see the picture too.

Letters Of The Invaders Of East Florida, 1812, Rembert W. Patrick
Letters Of The Invaders Of East Florida, 1812, Rembert W. Patrick
Florida Historical Quarterly
In September, 1812, a small detachment of the United States Army, commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel Thomas A. Smith, was camped near Moosa Old Fort. Not more than five hundred yards from the American forces was the unkempt and open quarters of a small band of men who called themselves the “Patriots of East Florida." Just across the San Sebastian river from these camps lay the town of St. Augustine with its formidable fort, Castillo de San Marcos, manned by Spanish regulars and colored militia from the Spanish West Indian possessions.

Francis P. Fleming In The War For Southern Independence: Letters From The Front, Edward C. Williamson
Florida Historical Quarterly
The writer of these letters, Francis P. Fleming (governor of Florida 1889-1893), was born at Panama, Duval county, Sept. 28, 1841; he enlisted as a private, July 13, 1861, in the St. Augustine Rifles which later became Company H., 2nd Florida Infantry Regiment of the famous Florida Brigade commanded by General E. A. Perry. The 2nd Florida served as part of the Army of Virginia. The letters are a part of the Fleming Papers in the Florida Historical Society library at St. Augustine, recently presented to the Society by Mrs. Hester Fleming Williams.
The Political Activity Of The Freedmen’S Bureau In Florida, George R. Bentley
The Political Activity Of The Freedmen’S Bureau In Florida, George R. Bentley
Florida Historical Quarterly
In its first five months the Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen, and Abandoned Lands was completely inactive in Florida. An assistant commissioner - that is, state head of the Bureau - was appointed early enough, but he had charge also of Georgia and South Carolina, and he limited both his interests and his activities to the Palmetto State. He was General Rufus Saxton, an ardent abolitionist and a long-time protege of Salmon P. Chase. During most of the war he had been in charge of the Sea Islands Experiment with free Negro labor. In the early months of the Freedmen’s Bureau …

Diego Pena’S Expedition To Apalachee And Apalachicolo In 1716, Mark F. Boyd
Florida Historical Quarterly
Prior to the settlement of Charles Town in 1670, the Spanish, through the mission reductions, dominated many of the southeastern Indian tribes. Although the mission Indians generally accepted the discipline imposed, several revolts against Spanish rule nevertheless occurred, the suppression of which doubtless produced many malcontents. Furthermore the Spanish regarded the English settlement of Carolina as an encroachment on Spanish territory, although evidently not unwelcome by Indians who had become hostile to the Spaniards.

Local History, Florida Historical Society
Local History, Florida Historical Society
Florida Historical Quarterly
Local history must depend in part on tradition. Usually tradition has a basis in fact, but has grown or changed with every retelling. Yet often it was born through a supposition only, or from unintentional error in stating a fact. Yet again, many times, its beginning was pure invention, as in the case of the numerous historical trees— few of which ever had any connection with the event they are coupled with.

The Founder Of The Seminole Nation, Kenneth W. Porter
Florida Historical Quarterly
For nearly a century the generally accepted account of the origin of the Seminole has been “that the first group of Seminoles came into Florida in 1750, under a chief named Secoffee,” to quote Dr. John R. Swanton, chief contemporary authority on their origins and early history, whose source is the anthropologist Daniel G. Brinton, although Dr. Swanton states that he does not know Brinton’s authority.

In 1605 Alvaro Mexia was sent on an expedition down the east coast of Florida by Governor Don Pedro de Ybarra of Spanish East Florida. Mexia followed the inland waters as far south as St. Lucie Inlet, and upon his return to St. Augustine compiled a map and itinerary which are invaluable in the study of the archaeology of the early historic period in the area.

Major-General John Campbell In British West Florida, George C. Osborn
Major-General John Campbell In British West Florida, George C. Osborn
Florida Historical Quarterly
Late in the autumn of 1778 Brigadier-General John Campbell received a communication from Lord George Germain to proceed from the colony of New York to Pensacola, Province of West Florida. In this imperial province, which was bounded on the west by the Mississippi river, Lake Ponchartrain and the Iberville river, on the south by the Gulf of Mexico, on the east by the Apalachicola river and on the north by the thirty-first parallel but later by a line drawn eastward from the mouth of the Yazoo river, General Campbell was to take command of His Majesty’s troops. That the newly …

Carpetbag Imperialism In Florida, 1862-1868 Part Ii, George Winston Smith
Carpetbag Imperialism In Florida, 1862-1868 Part Ii, George Winston Smith
Florida Historical Quarterly
Before the Florida Direct Tax Commissioners couId hope to make extensive tax assessments and sales of “rebel”property in Florida, further military operations were essential in the Jacksonville area. Nevertheless, Fernandina and St. Augustine already were in possession of the Union forces, and Stickney could see before him a limited entree to southern wealth. Before he made a leisurely journey southward at the end of 1862, he quietly began to make preparations.
John Westcott’S Plan For Public Education In Florida, 1844, Nita Katharine Pyburn
John Westcott’S Plan For Public Education In Florida, 1844, Nita Katharine Pyburn
Florida Historical Quarterly
In 1843 the Legislative Council of Florida passed two acts pertaining to education ; one providing that “the sheriff of the several counties . . . be Commissioners of school’lands in their respective counties.” Each was to rent or lease the land and retain ten percent as commission. The remainder of the proceeds was to be paid to the county treasurer at the beginning of the year. The county court was to appropriate the fun.ds thus accruing “to the education of the poor children of the County in which such land was situated.“l In 1844 another act was passed which …

A Connecticut Yankee Fights At Olustee: Letters From The Front, Vaughn D. Bornet
Florida Historical Quarterly
Olustee was the most important battle of the War for Southern Independence in Florida. While the Union army under Brigadier General Truman Seymour was not “completely defeated, with . . . utter rout," it was a severe setback in the plan of the administration for separating Florida from the Confederacy. If the effort had been successful, the political and economic results would have been serious for the South.
William Dunnington Bloxham: The Years To The Governorship, Ruby Leach Carson
William Dunnington Bloxham: The Years To The Governorship, Ruby Leach Carson
Florida Historical Quarterly
If any contemporaries of William D. Bloxham (1835-1911) made any inquiries concerning the family background of Florida’s two-term governor, they left no record of his ancestry. As the son of a Leon county planter, born and reared in the heart of the political scene in Florida, his presence required no explanation. The War for Southern Independence, and then Reconstruction, of epic importance, engrossed men’s thoughts. Even Bloxham’s activity in statecraft was sufficiently important and picturesque to focus journalistic attention upon the man’s achievements almost to the exclusion of his earlier background.

Carpetbag Imperialism In Florida 1862-1868, George Winston Smith
Florida Historical Quarterly
The great Civil War battlefields were far from Florida. Compared with the Wilderness campaign, the bloody slaughter of Pittsburg Landing or other major conflicts, even Olustee was a minor battle on the margin of the war. Yet in addition to keeping Florida in the Confederacy, it and other lesser encounters revealed social forces which were destined to alter the fabric of Florida’s society, and radically influence the future, of all the South. For with the occupying forces of the Union army came political and economic adventurers, the successors of a few earlier Yankee pioneers in Florida, and the predecessors of …
Independentism: A Challenge To The Florida Democracy Of 1884, Edward C. Williamson
Independentism: A Challenge To The Florida Democracy Of 1884, Edward C. Williamson
Florida Historical Quarterly
After 1876 the Florida Republican party slowly dwindled away, for awhile holding its own in the coastal cities and a few counties of the so called “Black Belt." The Bourbon Democrats were in the saddle, pulling the wires and plucking what political plums there were. Confederate war veterans dominated the scene, causing frustration to many a younger Democratic politician. Therefore, it was not surprising that the election of 1884 saw a new party in the selection of candidates for state offices.
