A Prelude To The Creek War Of 1813-1814, John Innerarity To James Innerarity, Elizabeth Howard West Mar 2021

A Prelude To The Creek War Of 1813-1814, John Innerarity To James Innerarity, Elizabeth Howard West

Florida Historical Quarterly

This letter is of unusual historical significance, for it describes the visit of McQueen and his Creeks to Pensacola, which resulted in the attack of the whites on the Indians at Burnt Corn Creek, the first fight of the war. Without this Creek victory as fuel for the war party and aid in bringing the waverers along with them, Big Warrior’s peace party might well have carried the majority with them instead. Innerarity’s letter is important in the light it throws on the relations of Governor Manrique with McQueen, and his furnishing the Indians with a large amount of ammunition- …

A Digest Of Florida Material In Niles’ Register, Florida Historical Society Mar 2021

A Digest Of Florida Material In Niles’ Register, Florida Historical Society

Florida Historical Quarterly

Historians who write of the first half of the last century in the United States should be and are grateful to Hezekiah Niles. His Niles’ Register with its motto “The Past-The Present-For the Future” has preserved for them much that would otherwise be lost completely, and much else that is all but lost in inaccessible or too voluminous governmental and other records. This is especially true for Florida’s history. So little has been preserved in the State relating to, its past, that our historians must usually go elsewhere for their Florida material.

A Stowe Memorial, K. W. Hooker

The First Protestant Service In North America, T. Frederick Davis Mar 2021

The First Protestant Service In North America, T. Frederick Davis

Florida Historical Quarterly

At dusk on April 30, 1562, two small vessels anchored off the bar of a river which was unknown to them, but which long afterwards became the St. Johns. Gaspard de Coligny, admiral of France and champion of the cause of the Huguenots, had decided upon America as a refuge from religious strife for his countrymen of the Protestant faith, who at the same time would create a new dominion by colonization, thereby extending the territorial possessions of France. These. two vessels under the command of Jean Ribault, 1 a native of Dieppe and a Huguenot, had been sent to …

The Timucua Indians Of Sixteenth Century Florida, W. W. Ehrmann

When first visited by the Spanish explorers in the early sixteenth century, northern Florida was inhabited by the Timucua family of Indians. Their territory was bounded approximately on the west by the Aucilla River, on the north by a line running just north of the present Georgia-Florida state line from the Aucilla River on the west to Cumberland Island on the east, and on the south by a line extending from Tampa Bay to Cape Canaveral.

Reynolds, author of the widely-read History of St. Augustine and long identified with the history of Florida, in particular as a member for many years of the Publications Committee …


The Use Of Florida Historical Material By A Journalist, E. V. W. Jones Mar 2021

The Use Of Florida Historical Material By A Journalist, E. V. W. Jones

Florida Historical Quarterly

We spread our newspapers before us at the close of day and read of the many events newly happened. In a few hours the swiftly spinning world has crossed the threshold of night, and a new day is here with new events. Yesterday is history. But look at your newspaper tonight and observe a significant fact. Today’s events are not all new. Many of them are in continuation of yesterday’s news.

In the fall of 1849 a young Virginian, a William and Mary student, cast his eyes toward the southernmost part of our country and made plans to come to Florida and teach school.

The East Coast In 1870, Florida Historical Society Mar 2021

The East Coast In 1870, Florida Historical Society

Florida Historical Quarterly

At the close of the Civil War, there were but two counties on the East Coast south of Cape Canaveral, Brevard and Dade. Dade had been established in 1886, but it was still virtually uninhabited wilderness in 1870, extending from the present southern boundary of St. Lucie County to the keys. The following narrative and statistical extracts are taken from The Florida Gazetteer, compiled and published by J. M. Hawkes, M. D. (New Orleans, 1871, 214 p.) Few copies were printed and the volume has now become rare.


The Care And Preservation Of Books And Records, Louise Richardson Mar 2021

The Care And Preservation Of Books And Records, Louise Richardson

Florida Historical Quarterly

Any brief article, such as this, on the preservation and care of records must be incomplete. Volumes have been and are being written on the subject, and the end is not yet. Scientists, engineers, librarians, and even a division of the League of Nations have devoted much time to a study of the subject. The United States Bureau of Standards in cooperation with the Carnegie Foundation and the National Research Council is continually carrying on research in the preservation of records. This research includes not only the preservation after records are made and distributed but includes research on the ingredients …
