By The King, A Proclamation, King George Iii

Florida Historical Quarterly

Whereas we have taken into our royal consideration the extensive and valuable acquisitions in America, secured to our crown by the late definitive treaty of peace concluded at Paris the 10th day of February last; and being desirous that all our loving subjects, as well of our kingdoms as of our colonies in America, may avail themselves, with all convenient speed, of the great benefits and advantages which must accrue therefrom to their commerce, manufactures, and navigation; we have thought fit, with the advice of our privy council, to issue this, our royal proclamation, hereby to publish and declare to …


Education In Florida, 1821-1829, James O. Knauss Nov 2020

Education In Florida, 1821-1829, James O. Knauss

Florida Historical Quarterly

Writers on the history of education in Florida have usually passed over the period between 1821 and 1830 with only casual mention. During this decade no public schools were established in the territory and the records relating to private schools and libraries are meagre. However, since the educational activities in these years form the background of the later cultural development, it seems advisable to gather all available material on the subject and to attempt to draw a picture as accurate as possible under the circumstances.

The Battleship Maine As A Florida State Board Of Health Quarantine Vessel, Joseph Y. Porter

Florida Historical Quarterly

This is the first part of Dr. Porter’s Reminiscences mentioned in the last number of the Quarterly. They are told in narrative style, without revision, for it is believed that in this form they will not only be more interesting but will be of at least as great historical value. -Editor.


Capital Removal, Florida Historical Society Nov 2020

Capital Removal, Florida Historical Society

Florida Historical Quarterly

Seldom has the site for a city been deliberately selected, less often has it been chosen in a wilderness, and scarcely ever has a capital been so placed not only many miles from any settlement but far from any single habitation of civilized man. Yet thus it was with Tallahassee when its site was chosen for the seat of government of the Territory of Florida and as the permanent home of its wandering Council.

Narvaez And De Soto: Their Landing Places And The Town Of Espirito Santo, A. H. Phinney Nov 2020

Narvaez And De Soto: Their Landing Places And The Town Of Espirito Santo, A. H. Phinney

Florida Historical Quarterly

But little is known of Ponce de Leon’s two voyages to Florida. It is said that the first time he landed somewhere between the present Jacksonville and New Smyrna. We have no knowledge as to where he was defeated by the Indians when he came the second time. After Ponce de Leon came Narvaez in 1528. We have quite a full account of his expedition, written by his Treasurer, Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca. From this history we are able to definitely know where Narvaez found a landing place.

The Importance Of Historical Societies, Florida Historical Society Nov 2020

The Importance Of Historical Societies, Florida Historical Society

Florida Historical Quarterly

This subject can best be introduced with concrete illustrations. A year ago several Tallahasseeans interested in Florida history heard that many old letters and books were in the attic of a near-by plantation house which had been built more than twenty years before the Civil War. Attracted there, they found the unfinished attic littered with business and social letters, documents, and books - all of ante-bellum days. The greatest prize discovered was a dilapidated journal of the overseer of the slaves, of which there were more than one hundred on the place as early as 1836. As this journal gave …

Indian Races Of Florida, Benjamin Harrison Nov 2020

Indian Races Of Florida, Benjamin Harrison

Florida Historical Quarterly

Ethnologists now accept the conclusion that the races who built the mounds were pressed to the southward by ruder invaders who came from the North and that the great battles of the conflict between the two were fought in Ohio where the remains of the fortifications erected for defense still remain. On this continent we have, on a smaller scale, a duplication of the struggle which ended in the overthrow of the Roman empire. The great body of these invaders were diverted towards Mexico, where the Toltec empire was overthrown by the Aztecs, soon to be conquered in their turn …


Florida Against Georgia: A Story Of The Boundary Dispute, Fred Cubberly Nov 2020

Florida Against Georgia: A Story Of The Boundary Dispute, Fred Cubberly

Florida Historical Quarterly

It has been said that boundary line disputes between individuals are the worst kind of quarrels, and often cause lifelong differences and even descend to heirs of original disputants. When sovereign states have boundary line questions to settle, the Supreme Court of the United States is the tribunal that settles the question, for it is in that Court alone that such questions may be litigated.


Florida's Great Seal: Its Historical Inaccuracies, T. Frederick Davis Nov 2020

Florida's Great Seal: Its Historical Inaccuracies, T. Frederick Davis

Since Florida became a possession of the United States there have been in use at different times at least four official seals - two in the Territorial days and two after it became a State.


Colonial Florida, Louis J. Mendelis Nov 2020

Colonial Florida, Louis J. Mendelis

Florida Historical Quarterly

The extent of territory and the duration of time covered by a subject so broad as Colonial Florida make an introductory note necessary. The name Florida once covered all the territory from the end of the Peninsula to Labrador. In Colonial times, before James Moore's destructive expedition, the name was confined to the present States of Florida and Georgia. Not until 1821 did the State acquire its present boundaries.
