Memorial: Julien Chandler Yonge, Florida Historical Society
Florida Historical Quarterly
On April 25, 1962, Julien Chandler Yonge passed away at his home in Pensacola. Born on January 20, 1879, the son of Philip Keyes and Lucie C. Davis Yonge, Julien Yonge spent most of his life in his native state. For more than a generation he was editor of the Florida Historical Quarterly and a mainstay of the Florida Historical Society. Known to generations of historians for his magnificent collection of Floridiana, remembered with warm affection by all who worked with him, Julien Yonge’s name will always be found where Florida history is written. The memory of this kindly, self-effacing, …

A Northerner Reports On Florida: 1866, Joe M. Richardson
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the fall of 1865 Colonel Thomas W. Osborn, Assistant Commissioner of the Freedmen’s Bureau for Florida, decided to divide the State into five districts, and send agents on inspection tours of each. The inspectors were to make full reports on the general condition of the freedmen and the amount of crops being raised. Special notice was to be taken of the proportion of nonproducing members among the ex-slaves, and the number of white and colored schools, scholars, and teachers in each section. In addition, the agents were to gauge the white attitude toward the Union, and determine whether the …
Sea Island Cotton In Ante-Bellum Florida, Jerrell H. Shofner
Sea Island Cotton In Ante-Bellum Florida, Jerrell H. Shofner
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the late 1850’s Florida surpassed Georgia and South Carolina in the production of Sea Island cotton. This development was made possible by three factors: climate, soil, and technological progress. While nature supplied the first two requisites, the latter factor was the result of inventive Floridians who designed and patented cotton gins that made the production of Sea Island cotton profitable. A combination of environment and mechanical development thus enabled Florida to supplant the traditional leaders and become the nation’s largest producer of long staple cotton.
The Treaty Of Moultrie Creek, 1823, John K. Mahon
The Treaty Of Moultrie Creek, 1823, John K. Mahon
Florida Historical Quarterly
A decade before the United States obtained possession of the whole of Florida the Indians had learned to fear Americans. Three times the men of the new nation to the north had invaded the peninsula; two of these invasions had brought ruin to the redmen. The first invasion-during the “Patriot War” of 1811-1813 - had initiated the disintegration of the towns and the agriculture of the Indians, east of the Suwannee River. The second - Andrew Jackson’s campaign in 1818 - had wreaked the same havoc upon those west of the Suwannee. The Florida Indians were never the same after …
The Celestial Railroad To Juno, Nathan D. Shappee
The Celestial Railroad To Juno, Nathan D. Shappee
Florida Historical Quarterly
The topic of this paper is deeply and affectionately imbedded in the early history and folklore of northern Dade County and present day Palm Beach County. Until this present undertaking no attempt at a comprehensive article about the Celestial Railroad has been made. Stray references and short descriptions are found in a wide variety of places but the best of these are in unpublished reminiscences of old-timers and in contemporary newspapers which are not readily accessible to general readers.
William Augustus Bowles And The State Of Muskogee, Lyle N. Mcalister
William Augustus Bowles And The State Of Muskogee, Lyle N. Mcalister
Florida Historical Quarterly
As the eighteenth century approached its end, the decline of the imperial power of Spain was reflected and magnified in the borderland provinces of East and West Florida. In these outposts of empire the hand of authority was weak and resources for defense were almost non-existent. The military establishment consisted of understrength garrisons in the presidios at St. Augustine, San Marcos de Apalache, Mobile, and Pensacola, and the sparsity and dispersion of the population precluded reliance on troops raised locally. Moreover, the Viceroy of Mexico and the Captain General of Cuba, who were responsible for the defense of the northern …

Father Jerome of St. Leo’s Abbey, St. Leo, Florida, sends us an interesting note relating the pro’s and con’s of the dispute centering about the identity of the first Catholic Bishop of Florida, and a document which he assures us provides “a definite silencing of the dispute.” The search for this documentary proof led Father Jerome to the Library of Congress, the Hispanic Society of America, and to the Franciscan archives in Washington - all without success.

The Cotton Mill Campaign In Florida, 1828-1863, Richard W. Griffin
The Cotton Mill Campaign In Florida, 1828-1863, Richard W. Griffin
Florida Historical Quarterly
The manufacturing impulse in the South appeared as early as 1790 when primitive cotton factories were established in Kentucky and South Carolina. In Virginia an association to promote manufactures was launched at Richmond in 1786. This early interest in development of cotton manufactories was not comparable, however, to that which set off the cotton growing craze after the invention of the cotton gin.
The American Loyalists In The Bahama Islands: Who They Were, Thelma Peters
The American Loyalists In The Bahama Islands: Who They Were, Thelma Peters
Florida Historical Quarterly
The American loyalists who moved to the Bahama Islands at the close of the American Revolution were from many places and many walks of life so that classification of them is not easy. Still, some patterns do emerge and suggest a prototype with the following characteristics: a man, either first or second generation from Scotland or England, Presbyterian or Anglican, well-educated, and “bred to accounting.” He was living in the South at the time of the American Revolution, either as a merchant, the employee of a merchant, or as a slave-owning planter. When the war came he served in one …

East Coast Florida Steamboating, 1831-1861, Edward A. Mueller
Florida Historical Quarterly
Transportation facilities have always played a substantial and significant role in the development and settlement of the United States. Likewise, in the early days of Florida’s development, water transportation played a most important part, sailing ships helping to bring in some of the first settlers and visitors. Because Florida is a peninsula for the most part and has water access on most of its boundaries as well as many waterways serving the interior, transportation by water has always loomed large. Sailing vessels, however, have their difficulties not the least of which is the lack of a regular schedule and the …
Joseph E. Brown And The Florida Election Of 1876, Derrell Roberts
Joseph E. Brown And The Florida Election Of 1876, Derrell Roberts
Florida Historical Quarterly
Florida means various things to many people. For some it means restored health and for others it has built fortunes, but for Joseph E. Brown it revived a sagging political career. By 1876, Brown had served as Georgia’s Governor for an unprecedented eight year period which included the Civil War era. He had been Chief Justice of the Georgia Supreme Court for nearly two years and earlier had served terms as Superior Court Judge and State Senator. In 1876, Brown was ready to rejoin the Democratic party which he had bolted in 1868 to vote for U.S. Grant for President, …

Lawlessness In Florida, 1848-1871, Ralph L. Peek
Lawlessness In Florida, 1848-1871, Ralph L. Peek
Florida Historical Quarterly
The clash of ideologies, conflicts over rights and status, and a struggle for power, all of which have marked man’s efforts to achieve a society satisfactory to himself, created an intense conflict in Florida during the years of Reconstruction, particularly in the period 1868-1871, In this bloody struggle the issue at stake was the possession of local, state, and national political and economic power, and this issue was colored and made more complex by social and racial elements, including the most virulent race hatred. The incipient conflict, created by the aftermath of war and the Reconstruction Acts of 1867, flared …
The Day Governor Cabrera Left Florida, Luis Rafael Arana
The Day Governor Cabrera Left Florida, Luis Rafael Arana
Florida Historical Quarterly
On Sunday, April 13, 1687, the presidio of St. Augustine, Florida was going about routine activities. Captain Antonio de Arguelles’ infantry company had guard duty, and the captain was at the presidio’s main guardhouse. A galliot, one of the vessels of the garrison’s naval complement, rode at anchor in Matanzas Bay. She was ready to sail that afternoon. Her crew (partly made up of sailors under contract for just that trip), supplies, arms (including 36 flintlock muskets), and ammunition, were already on board. Adjutant Juan Pinto, one of the three regular adjutants, was the galliot’s officer in charge.
The Loyalist Migration From East Florida To The Bahama Islands, Thelma Peters
The Loyalist Migration From East Florida To The Bahama Islands, Thelma Peters
Florida Historical Quarterly
During the American Revolution many Loyalists fled from the southern states and sought refuge in British East Florida. At the close of the war, when Florida changed hands again, these refugees as well as the British residents of Florida were forced to choose between living under the flag of Spain or seeking new homes elsewhere. Most of them left Florida and many of them established their new homes in the sprawling archipelago which is Florida’s neighbor to the east, the Bahama Islands
A Naval Visitor In British West Florida, Robert R. Rea
A Naval Visitor In British West Florida, Robert R. Rea
Florida Historical Quarterly
The world-wide explansion of the British Empire in the eighteenth century was dependent upon a navy whose officers were, of necessity, the most widely travelled men of their times. No less than frontiersmen, the holders of His Majesty’s commission were empire-builders. Seldom, however, were they fully conscious of the broader significance of their work or capable of literary exploitation of their experiences. John Blankett was an exception to this generalization. His career extended from the inland waters of North America to the Indian Ocean, from Russia to South Africa, from the English Channel to the Red Sea where he last …
The Story Of Florida's Migrant Farm Workers, Donald H. Grubbs
The Story Of Florida's Migrant Farm Workers, Donald H. Grubbs
Florida Historical Quarterly
The vacation-bound tourist en route to South Florida often follows highway A1A past the glittering motels, mile on mile, that dot the beaches of Florida’s Gold Coast, or chooses perhaps to drive along the flowing curves of the Sunshine State Parkway farther inland. There is a third route south to Miami, however, that is quite dissimilar from the better known pair; it is a highway of many repairs that is used principally by far less affluent travelers. The motorist who bumps along U. S. 441 sees limitless flat vistas of fertile ebony soil stretching out to the horizon, striped with …
