A Topographical Memoir On East And West Florida With Itineraries (Concluded), Hugh Young Dec 2020

A Topographical Memoir On East And West Florida With Itineraries (Concluded), Hugh Young

Florida Historical Quarterly

This part of the report contains sketches of the routes of the Army from Hartford, Georgia to Fort Scott, and thence through east and west Florida to Fort Montgomery in the Alabama territory with hints for the construction and improvement of roads through the more difficult parts of the country. It was thought best to give the Itineraries the last. place in the report, as the particular description of the routes is made more intelligible and satisfactory by the general account of the country (p. 323) which preceded it.


The Schooner Emperor: An Incident Of The Illegal Slave Trade In Florida, Dorothy Dodd Dec 2020

The Schooner Emperor: An Incident Of The Illegal Slave Trade In Florida, Dorothy Dodd

Florida Historical Quarterly

The story of the African slave trade after its prohibition in 1808 is one which, because of the illicit nature of the trade, can never be fully known. In Florida, as in other Southern states, however, occasional hints of this subterranean traffic found their way into records which have been preserved. A record, fuller than most, found in the archives of the Florida Supreme Court as the case of the United States vs. the Schooner Emperor, may be taken as a fair illustration of the methods employed in the slave trade, when entered into upon a small scale, and of …

A Topographical Memoir On East And West Florida With Itineraries, Hugh Young Dec 2020

A Topographical Memoir On East And West Florida With Itineraries, Hugh Young

Florida Historical Quarterly

In a communication from General Jackson addressed to the Hon. John C. Calhoun, Secretary of War, from Fort Gadsden, May 5, 1818, there occurs the following statement: “For a detailed account of my movements from that period to this day, you are respectfully referred to the report prepared by my adjutant general, accompanied with Captain Hugh Young’s topographical sketch of the route and distance performed”. This evidently refers to the memoir and itineraries here presented.


The Manufacture Of Cotton In Florida Before And During The Civil War, Dorothy Dodd Dec 2020

The Manufacture Of Cotton In Florida Before And During The Civil War, Dorothy Dodd

Florida Historical Quarterly

The fluctuating price of cotton in the 1840’s caused the cotton planters of Florida, like their brethren in other parts of the South, to consider ways in which they might stabilize the price of their staple crop in order to stave off economic ruin. 1 Numerous proposals were made to this end, 2 but none met with more widespread response throughout the South than that. of bringing the cotton mill to the cotton field by establishing cotton manufactories throughout the cotton producing regions.

Apalachee During The Brisih Occupation, R. E. Pittman Dec 2020

Apalachee During The Brisih Occupation, R. E. Pittman

Florida Historical Quarterly

According to Prof. F. H. Hodder, in the introduction to his reprint of Pittman’s work entitled “The Present State of the European Settlements on the Mississippi,” there are but few available biographical data pertaining to Pittman. Hodder there presents such information as he was able to collect. Apparently Pittman must have accompanied the first British detachment occupying Florida, he states that he “resided four years as an engineer in those parts” and it is known that he left towards the close of 1768. Apparently during 1767 he was occupied in making surveys in different parts of West Florida, as records …


Wilkinson Call, Soldier And Senator, Part I, Albert Hubbard Roberts Dec 2020

Wilkinson Call, Soldier And Senator, Part I, Albert Hubbard Roberts

Florida Historical Quarterly

If Wilkinson Call was fortunate politically in being of a family already prominent in Florida affairs, he may have suffered historically as the nephew of a great uncle and the uncle of a great nephew; his own colorful career, including eighteen years as a United States senator, being obscured by the earlier glory of Richard Keith Call, as soldier and territorial governor of Florida, and to the present generation by the recent service of Rhydon M. Call, State and Federal jurist. Relatively few Floridians of today remember more than the name of Wilkinson Call and of these, fewer know that …
