The Site Of Osceola's Village, Wilfred T. Neill
The Site Of Osceola's Village, Wilfred T. Neill
Florida Historical Quarterly
Archeology is generally thought of as being concerned with prehistoric man, but the application of archeological techniques to sites of the historic period often yields valuable data. As recently as 1948, no archeological site had been found that could be attributed to Seminole Indian occupation; the Seminole Period in Florida was known from historical sources alone. This situation was soon remedied. Goggin investigated the site of Spaulding’s Lower Store on the St. Johns River, recovering a large quantity of colonial artifacts, Seminole pottery, and trinkets intended for the Indian trade. Goggin et al. described a historic Indian burial, doubtless Seminole, …
Osceola And The Negroes, Kenneth W. Porter
Osceola And The Negroes, Kenneth W. Porter
Florida Historical Quarterly
Osceola, if not the most important Indian leader in the Seminole War (1835-1842), is certainly the best known. His fame is largely due to the circumstances of his capture and death, but the Abolitionist movement of his own day also contributed. That Osceola was driven into hostility to the United States by the seizure and reduction to slavery of one of his wives, the daughter of an Indian chief and a runaway Negro woman, is one of the best-known and most generally accepted “facts” of his career. Actually, the story, so far as it concerns Osceola, is unsupported by trustworthy …
The White Flag, Florida Historical Society
The White Flag, Florida Historical Society
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the long history of the American Indians no name is more widely known than Osceola. At the time of his death especially, he was talked of throughout the entire country. Towns in a score of states were named for him, and there are three counties which bear his name - in Iowa, Michigan, and Florida. This was largely because of a small piece of white cloth: the violation of a flag of truce under the orders of General Jesup, then in command of the Army in Florida. Standing under the white flag, Osceola was seized, imprisoned, and died soon …
Notes On Modern Seminole Traditions Of Osceola, William C. Sturtevant
Notes On Modern Seminole Traditions Of Osceola, William C. Sturtevant
Florida Historical Quarterly
Romantic interest among whites in the figure of Osceola began even before his death, and has continued ever since. His abilities as a warrior, his dramatic flair, and the well publicized circumstances of his capture and of his death in captivity soon thereafter, account for this interest. Many who know nothing else about the Seminole know Osceola’s name and some of the white folklore about him. He is almost certain to crop up in casual questioning of the Seminole today by tourists and others. On one occasion, I was present when a customer asked a leading Seminole enterpreneur in his …

After a search for whatever has come to light on the early life of Osceola, Charles H. Coe summarized his findings and his conclusions for the Florida Historical Quarterly.
The Disappearance Of The Head Of Osceola, May Mcneer Ward
The Disappearance Of The Head Of Osceola, May Mcneer Ward
Florida Historical Quarterly
During the last few years interest in Osceola has been increased by the controversy between Florida and South Carolina over the grave of the famous Seminole chief. South Carolina has the headless bones of Osceola, buried on Sullivan’s Island in Charleston harbor, where he died in Fort Moultrie, and Floridians think that the grave should be in Florida where he lived, and refused to leave voluntarily.
Osceola: Portraits, Features, And Dress, John M. Goggin
Osceola: Portraits, Features, And Dress, John M. Goggin
Florida Historical Quarterly
The most colorful figure of the unpopular Second Seminole War, Osceola, the Seminole war leader, early caught the imagination of the American public. 1 As a result, although we lack details of his early history, we have a good amount of data for his military career, and numerous comments on his appearance. He was the subject of several original sketches and paintings, as well as numerous engravings taken from them. However, differences between some of these “from life” renderings, raise the question of exactly what Osceola did look like!

A Trip To Florida, 1867: Three Letters Of Mary R. Birchard, Mary R. Birchard
A Trip To Florida, 1867: Three Letters Of Mary R. Birchard, Mary R. Birchard
Florida Historical Quarterly
Mary Roxana Birchard, daughter of Austin Birchard, of Fayetteville, now Newfane, Vermont, was a first cousin of Rutherford Birchard Hayes who on March 4, 1877 became the nineteenth President of the United States. When Mary Birchard visited Florida during February and March, 1867, her cousin Rutherford was a Representative from Cincinnati, Ohio, in the Fortieth Congress of the United States.
A Massachusetts Mechanic In Florida And Mexico, 1847, Arthur W. Thompson
A Massachusetts Mechanic In Florida And Mexico, 1847, Arthur W. Thompson
Florida Historical Quarterly
The growing tension between the United States and Mexico during the early part of 1846 found Florida singularly unenthusiastic for war. For one thing, she had only achieved statehood the year before. Then, too, she still felt the adverse impact not only of the 1837-43 depression, but also - more important - the devastation of the Seminole War. Despite these feelings, when Congress actually declared war on May 13, 1846, there was general support for the cause throughout the state. Ultimately, five Florida companies were called into service and three saw action in Mexico.
Florida And The British Investor, 1880-1914, Alfred P. Tischendoff
Florida And The British Investor, 1880-1914, Alfred P. Tischendoff
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the generation preceding World War I the attention of British investors focused on Latin America, the Far East, British Dominions, and the United States. Florida was not neglected by Britishers during the years from 1880 to 1914. At least 15 Limited companies with an authorized capital over 2.7 million were registered in London in this period to carry on business in the state. A promotional campaign that reached its climax in the 1890’s sought to interest the public in Florida ventures. Army and Navy officers, Members of Parliament, and titled gentry held shares and directorships in many of the …

Cuban Bloodhounds And The Seminoles, James W. Covington
Florida Historical Quarterly
Throughout history man has made use of animals in his warfare. During the Middle Ages the “Man on horseback” gained many victories against those on foot who opposed him and it was not until the effective use of the long bow and gun powder that the foot soldier could hold his own in combat. The first animal that European man domesticated was the dog. Even as late as World War II canines of several breeds were used by both sides to guard against surprise attack and to track down fleeing foes and prisoners.

The Case Of Some Inhabitants Of East Florida, 1767-1785, Barbara Gorely Teller
Florida Historical Quarterly
In London, in the spring of 1823, a young clerk named Daniel, in the House of Delcroix, Perfumers, received word that Mrs. Isabella Stout, widow of Daniel Stout of Nassau in the Bahamas, had been searching the length and breadth of England for him, as he was heir to part of the estate left by his aunt, Mary Rolph Stout of Nassau. The Colonial Secretary for the Bahamas, Mr. Samuel Nesbit, had also been searching, and about the same time located young Daniel and other members of his mother’s family, the Rolphs of Canterbury, who empowered Nesbit to receive their …

The Florida Executive Council, An Experiment In Civil War Administration, William C. Havard
Florida Historical Quarterly
The conduct of a major war, even under favorable conditions of internal stability, often results in a state of organized confusion in the government. For the South in the Civil War, the administration of the war effort was complicated to an unusual degree by the necessity of simultaneously reorganizing the political union which bound the states together. And even within the individual states themselves, the urgency of the war situation demanded the assumption of governmental functions which were new to the states-functions such as external defense, control of the manufacturing and transportation of essential goods, and the financing of these …

We have made a noteworthy, a surprising increase in membership, and this is now larger than ever before. We are proud of that, but our library is important, too. Membership comes first and we cannot let down there, for we must expect to lose members continually and would die without new members. Also, we should have in mind a home for our Society sometime in the future. But shall we not emphasize our library now.

The Governorship Of Andrew Jackson, Herbert J. Doherty, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
It was a stifling hot day in July of 1821 but the inhabitants of Pensacola, Florida, and hundreds of recently arrived newcomers were all jammed into the town’s central plaza. This was to be an important day in the lives of the people of Florida, for at ten o’clock in the morning the gaunt gray figure of Andrew Jackson would stalk from the governor’s residence and cross the plaza to the government house where the ceremonies marking the transfer of the Floridas from Spain to the United States would be completed. As he sat in the governor’s residence eating breakfast …
Plantation Economy In Leon County 1830-1840, Julia Hering
Plantation Economy In Leon County 1830-1840, Julia Hering
Florida Historical Quarterly
The area of cotton culture in Florida during the ante-bellum period was located mainly between the Apalachicola and Suwannee rivers, and in 1840 comprised the counties of Leon, Madison, Jefferson, Hamilton and Gadsden. It is significant that this area constituted then more or less an island in northern Florida whose economy, social structure, and soil type differed from that in the remainder of the state. In this comparatively small and isolated region there came into being, between 1830 and 1840, a cotton economy which compared favorably with that of the Georgia Piedmont or the Black Belt of Alabama. The emphasis …

Florida is behind many states in the preservation of local history. Our Florida Historical Society is accomplishing much for the State’s history, but we can do little beyond encouragement at the county, town, and community levels; and in the aggregate those histories are of greater importance than that which relates to Florida as a whole.
