The New City Of Pensacola, 1835-1837, Dorothy Dodd

Florida Historical Quarterly

Nowhere were the growing-pains of internal improvement more acutely manifested than in the country’s newest acquisition, the Territory of Florida.


The Battle Of Olustee (Ocean Pond) Florida, George F. Baltzell Mar 2021

The Battle Of Olustee (Ocean Pond) Florida, George F. Baltzell

Florida Historical Quarterly

This account of the battle of Olustee has been prepared at the invitation of the Florida Historical Society from the reports contained in War of the Rebellion, Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies. A careful study of this source leaves one unsatisfied where the aim has been to arrive at definite facts of such nature as would enable a fairly complete record to be offered. It is undoubtedly true that these official records must give more accurate and complete information than any others, since the reports were generally made within a few days after the events occurred and …

East Florida In The American Revolution, 1775-1778, Edgar Legare Pennington Mar 2021

East Florida In The American Revolution, 1775-1778, Edgar Legare Pennington

Florida Historical Quarterly

The best information on the subject may be derived from the letters and reports of the period.

United States Troops In Spanish East Florida, 1812-1813, T. Frederick Davis

Florida Historical Quarterly

Author’s Note. In November, 1927, Dr. Thomas B. Hall of Miami Beach, Florida, wrote me that the State Historical Society of Missouri was in possession of his great-grandfather’s papers written while in Florida. His great-grandfather was Lieut. Col. (afterward General) Thomas Adam Smith, who commanded the United States regulars in Florida in 1812-13. Through the courtesy of Arthur T. Williams, President of the Florida Historical Society, and Floyd C. Shoemaker, Secretary of the State Historical Society of Missouri, I obtained copies of the papers alluded to. They comprise the retained copies of letters written by Col. Smith, which were kept …

Florida’S Mysterious Personality, Alfred J. Hanna Mar 2021

Florida’S Mysterious Personality, Alfred J. Hanna

Florida Historical Quarterly

Seventeen years ago Florida entered the fifth century of her history under European influence. Her past four centuries have been full to overflowing with conquests and colonization schemes fairly reeking with romantic adventure, and constitute a period difficult to rival in the colonial history of any commonwealth. Many fortunes, beginning in 1513 with that of Ponce de Leon and to a much larger extent in 1539 with that of Hernando de Soto, and including the fabulous sums of the boom in 1925, have been lavished on its shores. Great aspirations, untold struggles, and heavy human sacrifice have written the annals …
