The Dade Massacre, Albert Hubbard Roberts
The Dade Massacre, Albert Hubbard Roberts
Florida Historical Quarterly
One who would write again of the Dade massacre, ninety-one years after its occurrence, must forego the expectation of discovering any great wealth of original data, and content himself in the main with the assembling of facts already published, and the elimination of more or less doubtful detail that has crept into former narratives, in an effort to bring into stronger relief a more or less neglected story of the American soldier’s courage and fidelity unto death. Every school-child has been taught the story of the Alamo, a tragedy enacted a scarce two months after the massacre of the Dade …

Henry Perrine, Pioneer Botanist And Horticulturist, Sarah R. W. Palmer
Henry Perrine, Pioneer Botanist And Horticulturist, Sarah R. W. Palmer
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the July issue last, there appeared a hitherto unpublished diary, of Mrs. Hester Perrine Walker, a survivor of the Indian massacre at Indian Key, on August 7, 1840, in which her father, the noted pioneer and botanist, lost his life. This volume of reminiscences, so intensely interesting in its depiction of the daily vicissitudes of pioneer life, graphically climaxed by the tragic occurrence of the massacre, has aroused among its readers a desire for further knowledge of the lifework of this pioneer horticulturist of Florida. Mrs. Sarah R. W. Palmer, of Miami, a grand-daughter of Dr. Perrine, tells of …
The Second Spanish-American War, A. H. Phinney
The Second Spanish-American War, A. H. Phinney
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the January number last there appeared an article by A. H. Phinney relating to the attempted seizure of St. Augustine in the year 1812 by United States troops and gunboats. The article was entitled THE FIRST SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR. The following paper is a resume by the same author of an analogous incident in Florida history - the raid into Florida in the year 1818 by General Andrew Jackson.

John Quincy Adams And Florida, Frederick Cubberly
John Quincy Adams And Florida, Frederick Cubberly
Florida Historical Quarterly
It has been said that the defiant patriotism of John Quincy Adams secured to the United States possession of Florida. It settled, after years of controversy, the long standing differences between Spain and this country. The student of history who takes the trouble to search for details of the many transactions and negotiations that resulted in the Florida provinces coming under the American flag will find that the skillful diplomacy of Adams resulted in settling for all time the sovereignty of Spain on the North American Continent.
Address Of John C. Mcgehee Before The Southern Rights Association Of Madison County, June 7, 1851, John C. Mcgehee
Address Of John C. Mcgehee Before The Southern Rights Association Of Madison County, June 7, 1851, John C. Mcgehee
Florida Historical Quarterly
The high historical importance of this address lies in that ten years later John C. McGehee was elected (by a vote of five to one over several worthy opponents) president of the convention of the people of Florida, convened January 3, 1861, which passed the ordinance of secession. At such a time of stress and strong feeling it would seem that a man must be elected to that position at least as much because of his known opinions and long-held beliefs as for his ability and all other reasons.

Florida Historical Quarterly

Massacre At Indian Key, August 7, 1840 And The Death Of Doctor Henry Perrine, Hester Perrine Walker
Massacre At Indian Key, August 7, 1840 And The Death Of Doctor Henry Perrine, Hester Perrine Walker
Florida Historical Quarterly
While at Campeachy, (1827-1838), where he served as United States consul, Dr. Henry Perrine, a native of New York City and a physician and botanist, determined to devote the remainder of his life to introducing and endeavoring to acclimatize useful tropical plants in semi-tropical Florida. He studied the matter and made collections of plants and seeds. The United States Congress, by an act approved July 7, 1898, made a conditional grant to Dr. Perrine and his associates of a township of land in South Florida, to be selected by him; the Senate Committee on Agriculture having reported “. . . …
The Growth Of Florida's Election Laws, James Owen Knauss
The Growth Of Florida's Election Laws, James Owen Knauss
Florida Historical Quarterly
One of the neglected phases of American history is the development of election laws in the different states. Several monographs have been written showing the evolution and progress of certain reforms, such as the introduction of the Australian ballot, in the country as a whole, but these are usually not explicit and often not reliable regarding the subject in individual states. Articles and monographs on elections in each state are needed. It is entirely true that to obtain an accurate view of this subject the final monograph must contain a survey of the record of development in all states, but …

Documents Relating To Secession In Florida, Florida Historical Society
Florida Historical Quarterly
These documents are of great historical value, for, so far as known, none are of record, nor have any been published heretofore. The originals have been preserved in the family of John C. McGehee, president of the Florida secession convention. They are now in the possession of his niece, Rosa Galphin, of Fernandina, a student at the Florida State College for Women, Tallahassee. A sketch of Judge McGehee follows, written by Miss Galphin.

The Nine Old Wooden Forts Of St. Augustine, Part Ii, Jeannette Thurber Conner
The Nine Old Wooden Forts Of St. Augustine, Part Ii, Jeannette Thurber Conner
Florida Historical Quarterly
After Drake burned the fort at St. Augustine in 1586, the settlers gave the name of San Marcos to the wooden building which took its place - Fort Number Seven. They had long wanted and asked for a fort of stone, and it would seem as if the discovery of coquina by Pedro Menendez Marques, in 1580, should have helped to bring about the realization of their wishes; but always, something came up to prevent it.
