Early Education In Tallahassee And The West Florida Seminary, Now Florida State University, Part Ii, William G. Dodd
Early Education In Tallahassee And The West Florida Seminary, Now Florida State University, Part Ii, William G. Dodd
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the year 1850, Tallahassee, through its city government, took the first faltering steps which led later in the decade to the organization of a stable school system. Before that year, as was told in Part I of this article, parents had depended for the education of their children on private schools and on two corporate institutions, Leon Academy and Leon Female Academy. The former, constantly in financial straits, was barely kept alive through the years from 1827 to 1840. The Female Academy, begun in 1844, continued as an independent school until 1858. Thus the story of boys’ education before …
Enumeration Of The Florida Spanish Missions In 1675, Mark F. Boyd
Enumeration Of The Florida Spanish Missions In 1675, Mark F. Boyd
Florida Historical Quarterly
The instances when either the Spanish civil or ecclesiastical colonial authorities submitted enumerations of the mission establishments in Florida appear to have been infrequent and irregular. It is consequently somewhat surprising that two lists are available for the year 1675. The first of these to attract attention was the list incorporated in an undated letter written to the Queen of Spain by Bishop Gabriel Diaz Vara Calderon of Cuba, which was presented in translation by Lucy L. Wenhold (1936). The bishop paid an extensive pastoral visit to Florida in 1674-75, remaining for eight months, during which he appears to have …
Dr. Henry Perrine, Tropical Plant Enthusiast, Nelson Klose
Dr. Henry Perrine, Tropical Plant Enthusiast, Nelson Klose
Florida Historical Quarterly
After much research on the subject, this writer believes that no person worked with more devotion and energy for the introduction of tropical agricultural plants into the United States in the second quarter of the nineteenth century than did Dr. Henry Perrine. His was the foremost pioneering in agriculture for the development of the newly-acquired Territory of Florida. Perrine’s work came when a need was felt for new crops to diversify and bolster the agriculture of the South before effective assistance was given the states and before the Federal Congress had bureaucratized this work in 1839 with its first appropriation …

Archaeology In Florida: A Report On The Goodnow Mound, Florida Historical Society
Archaeology In Florida: A Report On The Goodnow Mound, Florida Historical Society
Florida Historical Quarterly
Though we call archaeology “pre-history,” so much has been learned about the former inhabitants of the land we might almost omit the prefix. This is not nearly so true of Florida aborigines as it is of many other parts of the country; and what has been accomplished here has been done by scientists from outside the State: Moore, Wyman, Stirling, Hrdlicka, Fewkes, Willey and others. Recently two of our own young men have been avidly following an urge which must have been congenital by digging into the history before history of the peninsula. These are John W. Griffin of Daytona …

Spanish Relief Policy And The East Florida Refugees Of 1763, Duvon C. Corbitt
Spanish Relief Policy And The East Florida Refugees Of 1763, Duvon C. Corbitt
Florida Historical Quarterly
So runs the pious ejeculation scrawled across the front page of the bundle of documents in the Archivo Nacional de Cuba concerned with pensions to wives, widows and daughters of the Floridians who chose to follow the retreating Spanish flag in 1763 and 1764. 1 It is not surprising that the Havanese officials called for help from on high when they found themselves confronted with the feeding and housing of the whole population of East Florida after the cession of that province to Great Britain by the Peace of Paris. Fortunately the total of that population scarcely exceeded three thousand …
Taylor County History And Civil War Deserters, W. T. Cash
Taylor County History And Civil War Deserters, W. T. Cash
Florida Historical Quarterly
When Florida seceded from the Union, Taylor county was four years old, it having been created from Madison county on December 23, 1856. As a functioning political unit its age was at least six months less, for the members of its first board of county commissioners were not qualified until March 27, 1857, and its first judge of probate, one of whose duties was to preside at board meetings, was not commissioned until July 4, following.
Robert E. Lee In Florida, Karl A. Bickel
Robert E. Lee In Florida, Karl A. Bickel
Florida Historical Quarterly
The career of General Robert E. Lee is so overwhelmingly associated with the valleys of Virginia and the great and decisive battles of the Civil War that his very real personal interest in Florida and the fact that as one of the commission of United States Army officers in 1849 he made a detailed and personal examination of the entire coast line of Florida from Pensacola to Jacksonville and Fernandina, has been largely obscured. During this tour of inspection as secretary of the commission, he recorded the results of the examination of every bay, river mouth of any importance, or …
Early Education In Tallahassee And The West Florida Seminary Now Florida State University, Part I, William G. Dodd
Early Education In Tallahassee And The West Florida Seminary Now Florida State University, Part I, William G. Dodd
Florida Historical Quarterly
The school problems of early Tallahassee, after a long process of trial and error, were finally solved by the establishment, on January 1, 1857, of the West Florida Seminary. Though the Seminary was nominally a State institution, actually for many years nearly all of its students were from Tallahassee and vicinity, and it was to all intents and purposes a Tallahassee school. With its location in the town, citizens were at last assured of a permanent means of educating their sons, and a little later, their daughters also. Until this fortunate event, Tallahassee, like the other towns of the Territory …

A New Collier County Map, John M. Goggin

Maps are not generally reviewed, but one currently published is of such interest that it should be noted. This is the Map of Collier County, Florida, computed and mapped under the direction of D. Graham Copeland, and published in April 1947 as an official county map for general use.

Governor Cespedes And The Religious Problem In East Florida, 1786-1787, Richard K. Murdoch
Governor Cespedes And The Religious Problem In East Florida, 1786-1787, Richard K. Murdoch
Florida Historical Quarterly
Hardly a year had elapsed after the retrocession of East Florida to Spanish control in 1783, when one disturbing fact became evident to the authorities in St. Augustine and Havana. The desired increase in the Spanish population of the province was not materializing, and there were no indications of an imminent influx of settlers. This condition was due largely to the absence of any Spanish colonists in Cuba willing to move across the Bahama channel to the mainland. Already voices were being raised against the offering of inducements to obtain settlers for the less desirable portions of the Spanish colonial …

Flagler’S Associates In East Florida Development, Sidney Walter Martin
Flagler’S Associates In East Florida Development, Sidney Walter Martin
Florida Historical Quarterly
Financially, the Florida East Coast developments during the period 1885-1912, were the results of the efforts of one man, Henry M. Flagler. He spent an estimated fifty million dollars in Florida and received help from no outside source. However, to carry through his program, Flagler necessarily gathered about him a very able group of associates who should be given much credit for his accomplishments. Among this group were men who were to become life-long friends of the millionaire after years of close association. Flagler was a good judge of men, and therefore delegated responsibility to all of his associates in …
