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.

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.

Florida Newspapers And Their Value To Historians, James O. Knauss Nov 2020

Florida Newspapers And Their Value To Historians, James O. Knauss

Florida Historical Quarterly

To write history one must have source material. This is a ridiculous truism, but is sometimes overlooked by would-be writers of history. A man cannot write history by reconstructing the past from his own imagination. Such a process produces fiction, not history. Probably the feature most unattractive to the majority of writers is the gathering of the source material from which history is to be written. This collecting of material often does not fire the imagination, and is considered, I am afraid, by many sheer drudgery. The work of the bibliographer does not appeal to those who desire instant popular …

Florida Historical Quarterly

The Florida Historical Society is greatly indebted to Mrs. Martha Tyler (nee Miss Martha Jernigan), of Orlando, Florida, for the following interesting reminiscences of the Indian uprisings near Fort Gatlin. The letters of this remarkable woman, born in the year 1839, are replete with interesting and humorous detail.


Old Pictures Of The New Florida: Ponce De Leon And His Land, Benjamin Harrison Nov 2020

Old Pictures Of The New Florida: Ponce De Leon And His Land, Benjamin Harrison

Florida Historical Quarterly

The discoverers of a new world are accepted as among the boldest and shrewdest men, with very few exceptions; it is the misfortune of Florida that her history is made to begin in popular conception, with her discovery by an old man, who foolishly sought here a renewed youth, that he might gain the love of a young girl. But Ponce stood high among the soldiers and statesmen of Spain, because of the services already given. When he received permission to seek and govern a new land, he was only in the maturity of mental and physical vigor, and if …


Home Life Of The Florida Indians, Benjamin Harrison Nov 2020

Home Life Of The Florida Indians, Benjamin Harrison

Florida Historical Quarterly

Every family of mankind refers fondly to a Golden Age, when peace and innocence reigned on earth. The lost paradise is no monopoly of the Christian, of the Greek or even of the Old World, since the Inca and the Aztec were equally confident in the truth of his traditions describing it. When Columbus compared the happy conditions he observed in the islands to which he came, with those of Europe, he declared the inhabitants were close to the angels in disposition as well as in geography, and he confidently looked for his Blessed Mountain in all his wanderings. When …

Oberservation On Original Members, C. Seton Fleming

Florida Historical Quarterly

In making the following observations as to the various distinguished members of The Florida Historical "Society," organized A. D. 1856, the author has mentioned those prominent men of Florida members of the Society whom he has been able to obtain information about by talking to old citizens, an examination of the various published histories of Florida, an examination of the Florida Supreme Court Reports and Acts of the Legislature of Florida. In the next issue of the Quarterly Magazine, we will be glad to publish accounts of members of the Society of 1856 not especially mentioned in this article.
