Apalachicola In 1838-1840: Letters From A Young Cotton Warehouse Clerk, Niles Schuh
Apalachicola In 1838-1840: Letters From A Young Cotton Warehouse Clerk, Niles Schuh
Florida Historical Quarterly
John Chrystie wrote long, interesting letters from Apalachicola to the folks back home in New York. In a series of nine letters, written during the 1838-1839 and 1839-1840 business seasons, he described life in that busy cotton port. He wrote to his brother, Tom; to his brother’s wife, Sis; and especially to his close friend, probably a cousin, Albert, about life in a young, fast-growing, frontier town in the territory of Florida. Business, social, and civic life were all of interest to the impressionable young man, and he had very definite ideas and opinions about most of what was going …
Charles Townshend And Plans For British East Florida, Donna T. Mccaffrey
Charles Townshend And Plans For British East Florida, Donna T. Mccaffrey
Florida Historical Quarterly
Almost every historical account of the background of the American Revolution necessarily brings in the career of Charles Townshend.1 He introduced and guided through Parliament in 1767 the Townshend program of taxation for America. In so doing, Townshend reopened the dispute between the colonies and the mother country that had been moderated in the previous year by the repeal of the Stamp Act. For some years Townshend had been deeply concerned about colonial matters and was regarded as the expert on American affairs. 2 As a member of the Board of Trade, he had studied colonial problems. At the request …

Billy Bowlegs, Sam Jones, And The Crisis Of 1849, James W. Covington
Florida Historical Quarterly
One of the most unusual events that took place during the removal of some 4,000 Indians and blacks from Florida to Indian Territory during the 1836-1859 period, occurred during the so-called Outbreak of 1849 when the Seminoles delivered three alleged murderers to the whites for trial and possible execution. This outbreak blazed forth in July 1849 when a group of young Seminoles went on a rampage along both coasts of Florida. In the first attack, the Seminoles killed one man and vandalized a small settlement along the Indian River. Then they crossed the peninsula, killed two other persons, and burned …

"Whitewash" In Florida: The Lynching Of Jesse James Payne And Its Aftermath, Jack E. Davis
"Whitewash" In Florida: The Lynching Of Jesse James Payne And Its Aftermath, Jack E. Davis
Florida Historical Quarterly
On an October morning in 1945, the body of a black man was found lying on the side of a graded road in rural Madison County, Florida. Jesse James Payne, a struggling young sharecropper with a wife and child, had been unceremoniously lynched the night before. This was not an unusual occurrence in a state that by 1920 had the nation’s highest lynching rate relative to its population. But with Payne’s death coming at the close of World War II, when such crimes were all but nonexistent, Florida was again distinguished by being host to the only recorded lynching of …

Settlers, Bureaucrats, And Private Land Claims: The "Little Arredondo Grant", Edward F. Keuchel
Settlers, Bureaucrats, And Private Land Claims: The "Little Arredondo Grant", Edward F. Keuchel
Florida Historical Quarterly
In his study of United States land policy, historian Paul W. Gates wrote, “No problem caused Congress, officials of the General Land Office, and federal courts more difficulty or took up as much time as the private land claims, that is the grants of land made by predecessor governments in areas acquired from Great Britain, France, Spain, Mexico, and in the Oregon country by agreement with Great Britain.“ There were also problems in Florida since land had been granted by both the Spanish and British governments, and the “little Arredondo grant” of Columbia County demonstrates the complexities in the settlement …
St. Augustine's Fallout From The Yamasee War, John H. Hann
St. Augustine's Fallout From The Yamasee War, John H. Hann
Florida Historical Quarterly
Between 1702 and 1705, Englishmen from South Carolina and their Indian allies destroyed all the surviving missions in Spanish Florida from Apalachee to Amelia Island. A remnant Guale population drawn from at least fifteen settlements of coastal Georgia had taken refuge in the 1680s at three mission sites on Amelia Island. In 1702, James Moore, governor at Charles Town, captured and burned St. Augustine. Only the town’s castillo and the refugees it housed survived Moore’s assault. Renewed English and Indian attacks against the inland missions in 1704 and 1705 brought new waves of native refugees to St. Augustine. The greatest …
The Commerce Of East Florida During The Embargo, 1806-1812: The Role Of Amelia Island, Christopher Ward
The Commerce Of East Florida During The Embargo, 1806-1812: The Role Of Amelia Island, Christopher Ward
Florida Historical Quarterly
When Thomas Jefferson’s embargo policy brought much of North Atlantic commerce to a halt, world economic patterns—already stressed by France’s continental system— readjusted along informal lines for the duration of the Napoleonic era. Of the numerous “transshipment” ports that evolved between 1807 and 1812, none became more significant than Amelia Island, “neutral” Spain’s northernmost settlement on the Florida Atlantic seaboard. Just a few hundred feet across the St. Marys River from Georgia, Amelia Island (Fernandina after 1811) became an important link in a chain that enterprising merchants forged to bypass American trade restrictions. The years before the War of 1812 …

The International Ocean Telegraph, Canter Brown, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
The Summer of 1865 was one of great relief for most citizens of the so-recently reaffirmed United States of America. A few weeks earlier, on April 12, Robert E. Lee had surrendered his Confederate Army of Northern Virginia to a victorious Ulysses S. Grant and, before the end of the following month, the last Confederate force of consequence remaining in the field, then serving under General Edmund Kirby Smith of St. Augustine, had followed suit. The nation had been shocked and saddened by the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln two days after Lee’s surrender, but to some extent the outrage …

Blacks And The Seminole Removal Debate, 1821-1835, George Klos
Blacks And The Seminole Removal Debate, 1821-1835, George Klos
Florida Historical Quarterly
The rise of Jacksonian democracy in the United States during the 1820s and 1830s led to a national program of Indian displacement for the benefit of white settlers and land speculators. Disputes between whites and Indians over the possession of black slaves was a very prominent feature of Indian removal from Florida. Unlike Indian removal in other parts of the United States, land was not the main issue; thousands of acres of public land could be had in Florida without dispossessing the Seminoles. Mediation of white-Seminole slave disputes failed, in part, because the federal Indian agents often owned and speculated …
The Spanish St. Augustine Community, 1784-1795: A Reevaluation, Sherry Johnson
The Spanish St. Augustine Community, 1784-1795: A Reevaluation, Sherry Johnson
Florida Historical Quarterly
While documentation is available, historians have not accurately defined the community in St. Augustine after the return of Spanish rule in 1784. Community studies abound for towns in Europe and North America, but community study techniques, which have been so successful in reinterpreting North American colonial history, have been underutilized by Latin American historians. Eighteenth-century St. Augustine presents an opportunity to investigate one frontier settlement and the origins of its inhabitants. However, the point of beginning for any such study must be a definition of the structure of the community itself. Research reveals that St. Augustine resembled other Spanish American …
Pensacola Progressive: John Moreno Coe And The Campaign Of 1948, Sarah Hart Brown
Pensacola Progressive: John Moreno Coe And The Campaign Of 1948, Sarah Hart Brown
Florida Historical Quarterly
In 1951, John Moreno Coe, native of Pensacola, Florida, participated as an advocate for the defense in the celebrated case of Willie McGee, a black man tried and convicted three times by Mississippi juries for the rape of a Laurel, Mississippi, housewife. As with most of his clients, Coe passionately believed in McGee's innocence; further, he believed that McGee had been systematically denied due process by Mississippi courts. In his home town, almost no one except Coe’s family supported him in this crusade; his actions were perverse and strange in the eyes of most Pensacolians. Yet following McGee’s execution, Coe …

William Alexander Blount: Defender Of The Old South And Advocate Of A New South, Thomas Muir, Jr.
William Alexander Blount: Defender Of The Old South And Advocate Of A New South, Thomas Muir, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
William Alexander Blount, as a child, had experienced the frustrations of poverty and disorder resulting from the Civil War. While steeped in many of the values and traditions of the Old South, Blount was one of the new generation of southern leaders who, after the end of Reconstruction in 1877, strove to modernize the South through industrialization and closer cooperation with northern capitalists. His keen intellect and sharp legal mind served him well as a corporate lawyer for the Louisville and Nashville Railroad in Florida. Blount’s legal career in Pensacola spanned the Bourbon period, roughly from 1877 to 1900, when …

"A Gang Of Pirates": The Confederate Lighthouse Raids In Southeast, Rodney E. Dillon, Jr.
"A Gang Of Pirates": The Confederate Lighthouse Raids In Southeast, Rodney E. Dillon, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
In July of 1861, three months after Confederate gunners opened fire on Fort Sumter igniting the Civil War, a distinguished group of United States Army, Navy, and civilian officials met in Washington, DC. These men, Flag Officer Samuel F. DuPont, Commander Charles H. Davis, Major John G. Barnard, and Superintendent Alexander D. Bache of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, had been appointed by the Navy Department as a blockade board to study the geography and topography of the southern coastline, the state of Federal naval resources and manpower, and the strategic and tactical plans necessary to make President …
Settlement Patterns In Alachua County, Florida, 1850-1860, Everett W. Claudle
Settlement Patterns In Alachua County, Florida, 1850-1860, Everett W. Claudle
Florida Historical Quarterly
In 1773, the English botanist William Bartram traveled through north-central Florida. Impressed with the richness of the soil in the Alachua region, he commented on the variety and quantity of crops that the Indians who lived there seemed to grow with ease. Despite Bartram’s favorable report, and later comments like it, few settlers arrived in the area to establish farms and plantations when Florida became an American territory in 1821. Indeed, more than just fertile soil would be needed to lure farmers into the Florida wilderness. In this regard, the account of plantation agriculture’s arrival in Alachua County, Florida, will …
John Wallace And The Writing Of Reconstruction History, James C. Clark
John Wallace And The Writing Of Reconstruction History, James C. Clark
Florida Historical Quarterly
John Wallace, who rose from slavery to become a leading black politician in Florida during Reconstruction, has been nearly forgotten, while other black leaders have received overdue recognition for their accomplishments. Unlike those who are remembered for advancing the cause of blacks, Wallace left behind a different legacy— a book that was critical of his fellow blacks and Radical Republicans, and frequently complimentary of white conservation Democrats. The book, Carpetbag Rule in Florida: The Inside Workings of Civil Government in Florida After the Close of the Civil War, published in Jacksonville in 1888, became a major source for a generation …
