West Florida's Creek Indian Crisis Of 1837, Brian R. Rucker
West Florida's Creek Indian Crisis Of 1837, Brian R. Rucker
Florida Historical Quarterly
Although Andrew Jackson’s forays into Spanish West Florida in 1814 and 1818 dispersed several hostile bands of Creek Indians, scattered parties remained in isolated forests and swamps. When Florida was transferred to the United States in 1821, settlers moving into the new territory soon were confronted with the presence of these natives. The majority were located in the central portion of the territory, but sizable bands lived in northwest Florida. The Treaty of Moultrie Creek, signed in 1823, provided for the settlement of approximately 800 friendly Creeks on reservation lands along the Apalachicola River. Smaller bands also lived along the …
Unforgotten Threat: Florida Seminoles In The Civil War, Robert A. Taylor
Unforgotten Threat: Florida Seminoles In The Civil War, Robert A. Taylor
Florida Historical Quarterly
Confederate Florida, far removed from the clash of massed armies to its north, remained in many respects on the periphery of Civil War fighting. The state by no means, however, escaped the war’s impact as violence and the potential for violence served to its residents almost daily reminders of the national struggle. One dimension of Florida’s Civil War experience, a factor which threatened the escalation of violence throughout the conflict, previously has been neglected by students of the state’s history. That factor was the potential for Indian war.

Across The Border: Commodity Flow And Merchants In Spanish St. Augustine, James Cusick
Across The Border: Commodity Flow And Merchants In Spanish St. Augustine, James Cusick
Florida Historical Quarterly
Spanish Governor Zéspedes, writing in 1788 to a superior about his impressions of East Florida, decried the colony’s reliance on Havana as its sole source of supply. The majority of the colonists were far too impoverished, he wrote, to afford the high prices of goods shipped via Cuba. He continued: “[T]hat a poor immigrant at the end of one year, when he has made his first crop, or a Minorcan with a wife and four or five children who does not earn half a peso fuerte a day, should have to provide his family with goods bought from that place …

William Pope Duval: An Extraordinary Folklorist, Frank L. Snyder
William Pope Duval: An Extraordinary Folklorist, Frank L. Snyder
Florida Historical Quarterly
William Pope Duval, who served four terms as territorial governor of Florida, was a natural storyteller.1 His tales were crafted and fabricated with so much skill that his listeners believed every word as the absolute truth. DuVal never hesitated to shade the truth or to embellish his stories so that they became fictionalized accounts bordering on the fringes of reality. He wove a web of drama as he spoke and completely captured the attention of his audience. The stations in life they, the members of his audience, occupied did not matter— raw frontiersmen, uneducated workingmen, intellectuals, literary geniuses, or sophisticated …
Apalachicola Aweigh: Shipping And Seamen At Florida's Premier Cotton Port, Lynn Willoughby
Apalachicola Aweigh: Shipping And Seamen At Florida's Premier Cotton Port, Lynn Willoughby
Florida Historical Quarterly
Apalachicola in the 1840s was Florida’s busiest port. It also was a town that cotton built. To its north lay the Apalachicola, Chipola, Flint, and Chattahoochee rivers which together comprised the longest riverine system east of the Mississippi. Along those waterways lay thousands of cotton fields, and from as far away as Columbus, Georgia, planters dispatched their crops in steamers and pole boats to the Gulf of Mexico by way of Apalachicola.
"Tell Them I Died Like A Confederate Soldier": Finegan's Florida Brigade At Cold Harbor, Zack C. Waters
"Tell Them I Died Like A Confederate Soldier": Finegan's Florida Brigade At Cold Harbor, Zack C. Waters
Florida Historical Quarterly
General Robert E. Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia, by the middle of May 1864, was in serious trouble. The army still was a dangerous and effective fighting force, but major problems were beginning to surface. Casualties and command failures had crippled the officer corps, and three years of hard fighting had slowly sapped the strength of the southern army. Now it was facing an opponent in Lieutenant General Ulysses S. Grant who would neither retreat following defeat, nor give them the time necessary to recuperate. To solve his manpower problems, Lee’s only choice was to find replacement troops. That meant …
Men Without God Or King: Rural Settlers Of East Florida, 1784-1790, Susan R. Parker
Men Without God Or King: Rural Settlers Of East Florida, 1784-1790, Susan R. Parker
Florida Historical Quarterly
In 1784 Spanish colonists returned to the Florida peninsula after a twenty-year hiatus of British rule. In St. Augustine troops from Cuba walked the streets talking in Spanish, former émigré residents or their relatives moved in to reclaim old homes, and mass was sung again in the parish church. Out in the countryside the settlers debated in English what their fate might be under the new regime. The few Spanish that they saw were the military detachments assigned to the frontier posts or the sailors bringing supplies.

Care And Control Of The Feebleminded: Florida Farm Colony, 1920-1945, Steven Noll
Care And Control Of The Feebleminded: Florida Farm Colony, 1920-1945, Steven Noll
Florida Historical Quarterly
Hastings Hart, director of the Child Helping Department of the Russell Sage Foundation, reported in January 1918 that Florida’s “most acute and pressing social problem at the present time is the problem of the feeble-minded.” Hart, who prepared a social welfare plan for Florida at the request of Governor Sidney J. Catts, recommended that “Florida ought to make immediate institutional provision for at least 500 of this class [the feeble-minded], following the good examples which have been recently set by the states of Virginia and North Carolina.“1 A year later, on April 17, 1919, the state legislature followed this request …

"Where Are Now The Hopes I Cherished?" The Life And Times Of Robert Meacham, Canter Brown, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
"Although this convention is the stormiest we have ever attended, and from its dissentions we judge the [Republican] party is badly split. If the Democrats and Conservatives of Florida don’t take such advantage of it as will insure them success, then we say they deserve ‘to be bound hand and foot,’ and ever be under the heel and ground to powder by their former slaves. Such a mess of ‘rag, tag, and bobtail’ buncomb and bombast, ignorance and corruption we have never seen. It is a disgrace to the civilization of the age.“
On The Edge: Blacks And Hispanics In Metropolitan Miami Since 1959, Raymond A. Mohl
On The Edge: Blacks And Hispanics In Metropolitan Miami Since 1959, Raymond A. Mohl
Florida Historical Quarterly
On Monday, January 16, 1989, hundreds of blacks in Miami took to the streets in angry rage for the fourth time in the 1980s. Over several days, they burned cars and buildings, looted stores, pelted passers-by with rocks and bottles, and faced off with riot police in Overtown and Liberty City, Miami’s two major black communities. The incident that touched off this new expression of black anger was sadly familiar. A Miami policeman had shot and killed a black man fleeing a traffic infraction on a motorcycle, while a second black man, a passenger on the motorcycle, was thrown from …

A West Point Graduate In The Second Seminole War: William Warren Chapman And The View From Fort Foster, Edward C. Coker
A West Point Graduate In The Second Seminole War: William Warren Chapman And The View From Fort Foster, Edward C. Coker
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the fall of 1837, Second Lieutenant William Warren Chapman departed from Old Point Comfort, Virginia, bound for Florida on the Caladonia Brander. An 1837 graduate of West Point, he was en route to the Second Seminole War in Florida. After arriving at Fort Brooke in Tampa Bay on October 27, 1837, he was assigned to Company B, Second Artillery which had orders to regarrison Fort Foster.

The Read-Alston Duel And Politics In Territorial Florida, James M. Denham
The Read-Alston Duel And Politics In Territorial Florida, James M. Denham
Florida Historical Quarterly
The December 27, 1839, issue of the St. Augustine News reported that on December 12 a “duel as fought . . . on the Georgia line between Leigh Read and Augustus Alston of Tallahassee. Weapons, rifles; distance, fifteen paces; finale, Alston killed.“ As was typical editorial policy in the reporting of such affairs, no commentary was offered. But the editor might have added that Alston, a Whig, and Read, a Democrat, each led their political parties in a time when a man’s honor and bravery were proven by action as well as words. Neither could, nor wished, to evade the …

Cramer V. Kirk: The Florida Republican Schism Of 1970, Billy B. Hathorn
Florida Historical Quarterly
Having languished for nearly a century as a nominal political entity, Florida Republicans seemed poised by 1970 to establish parity, if not supplant, the Democrats as the Sunshine State’s majority party. The groundwork for such a metamorphosis had been laid when Eisenhower and Nixon won Florida in four of the five presidential elections between 1952 and 1968. William Cato “Bill” Cramer was elected in 1954 as the state’s first twentieth-century Republican Congressman, and Claude Roy Kirk, Jr., seized the governorship twelve years later amid the internecine bickering of Democratic factions. Moreover, Edward J. Gurney’s 1968 United States Senate victory was …
