Letters From East Florida, Dorothy Dodd
Letters From East Florida, Dorothy Dodd
Florida Historical Quarterly
Before the outbreak of the Seminole Indian War in 1835 the northern counties of East Florida were increasing in population at a faster rate than Middle and West Florida. Although the country was but sparsely settled there were a number of flourishing plantations, but these were laid waste by the Indians during the next seven years and immigration into that section almost entirely ceased. On the termination of the war in 1842, Congress passed a temporary free homestead act to encourage settlers to come into the section that had been the seat of the war in the hope that settlement …
Some Experiences Of Bishop Young, Edgar Legare Pennington
Some Experiences Of Bishop Young, Edgar Legare Pennington
Florida Historical Quarterly
The entwining network or railroads and inproved highways has practically obliterated all recollection of the handicaps of travel in Florida a few decades ago. It is hard to realize that the journey made in a few hours today required days - even weeks - in the years which followed the War Between the STates. So accustomed are we to thinking of our centres of population as bustling, wide-awake cities that we seldom picture them as isolated and crude communities or wretched little fishing-towns. Yet such conditions prevailed; and the second Episcopal Bishop of FLorida, the Right REverend John Freeman Young, …
The Fortifications At San Marcos De Apalache, Mark F. Boyd
The Fortifications At San Marcos De Apalache, Mark F. Boyd
Florida Historical Quarterly
The region of Apalache and of its bay on the Gulf coast seem to have been ignored by the Spaniards following the departure of De Soto from this vicinity after overwintering here in 1539-40. Certainly we are not aware of its further mention in available records until the arrival of the Christianizing Franciscan fathers in 1633, who probably, as did De Soto, came overland,, but in the latter instance from St. Augustine.

Letters Of William Cullen Bryant From Florida, Charles I. Glicksberg
Letters Of William Cullen Bryant From Florida, Charles I. Glicksberg
Florida Historical Quarterly
In 1843; on the invitation of William Gilmore Sims, Bryant had taken a journey to the South. He visited Richmond, watched the sale of tobacco, and inspected a typical tobacco factory. Later, while enjoying the ‘hospitality of some planters in the Barnwell district of South Carolina, he had the good ” fortune of witnessing a corn shucking and attending a racoon hunt. But of far greater interest to him was the life of the negro observed at first hand. He listened to negro ballads and the lively music of the banjo and heard, perhaps for the first time, the hearty, …

Edmund Kirby Smith’S Boyhood In Florida, Joseph B. James
Florida Historical Quarterly
Edmund Kirby Smith, who became one of the few full generals of the Confederate Army during the War Between the States, was born in St. Augustine, May 16, 1824. He was the second of Judge Joseph Lee Smith, who had left Connecticut in 1823 to become one of the two judges of the Superior Court of the Territory of Florida. President Monroe had appointed Judge Smith to that post in the new territorial government that was then being set up by the United States after the acquisition of Florida from Spain in 1821.

The Transfer Of Fort San Marcos And East Florida To The United States, Rogers W. Young
Florida Historical Quarterly
Spanish Florida, comprising the provinces of East and West Florida, was ceded to the United States under the provisions of the “Treaty of Amity, Settlement, and Limits, between the United States of America and His Catholic Majesty,” of February 22, 1819. The treaty was signed in Washington by Secretary of State John Quincy Adams, and Louis de Onis, the Spanish Minister to the United States. Ratifications of the treaty were delayed, but on October 24, 1820, Ferdinand VII of Spain affixed his ratification and confirmation, while acceptance on the part of the United States Senate followed on February 19, Three …

East Florida Seminary - Micanopy, C. L. Crow
Florida Historical Quarterly
For some eight years there existed in Florida, less than thirty miles apart, two schools founded at approximately the same time and bearing similar names: the one, “East Florida State Seminary, located in Ocala and controlled by the State; the other, “East Florida Seminary”, established in Micanopy and, at least nominally, under the care of the Florida Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. This Conference, it may be said in passing, extended at the time from Key West to Albany and from the Atlantic to Apalachicola, thus covering all Middle and East Florida and that part of Georgia lying …

Pensacola, Florida Historical Society
Florida Historical Quarterly
With historical addresses and other ceremony the Pensacola Historical Society on June 9, last, unveiled a monument on the site of William Panton’s garden adjoining the headquarters and warehouse of Panton, Leslie and Company. Now only the foundation of that old building remains. But here, for many years before 1800, long trains of packponies were loaded with goods which found their way into Indian habitations throughout the whole country between the Mississippi, the Tennessee, and the Chattahoochee rivers.

William Panton, Marie Taylor Greenslade
Florida Historical Quarterly
Much has been written of William Panton and his connection with the Floridas, but even so, in justice to him, too little; for, with few exceptions, most references and accounts of him have appeared in historical writings which are unsympathetic, if not antipathetic, toward the regime under which he lived and the interests he represented. There exists available material in the form of previously unpublished papers and letters of the trading house of Panton, Leslie & Company, which fills out the picture of Panton, enhances his stature, and helps to correct many inaccuracies in factual statement and estimation of character.
The First American Road In Florida: Papers Relating To The Survey And Construction Of The Pensacola-St. Augustine Highway, Part I, Mark F. Boyd
Florida Historical Quarterly
In these days of paved highways and of swift private transportation, accounts of early efforts to improve communications have a great interest. After American occupation of the territory of Florida, the inaccessibility of the only centers of population to each other soon attracted interest. This resulted in the projection and construction of the old Pensacola-St. Augustine highway, today an abandoned and almost forgotten route across the state, but interesting as the first instance of American road construction in Florida, as well as the fact that the eastern half would appear to follow one of the early Spanish routes from St. …

Ponce De Leon's Second Voyage And Attempt To Colonize Florida, T. Frederick Davis
Ponce De Leon's Second Voyage And Attempt To Colonize Florida, T. Frederick Davis
Florida Historical Quarterly
Following his voyage of 1513 Ponce de Leon sailed for Spain where he seems to have given a favorable account of his discoveries, for on September 26 (or 27), 1514, the King issued a patent to him to colonize Florida and Beniny, but first required his services against the Caribs, a fierce tribe of Indians inhabiting the Lesser Antilles. Returning to the West Indies Ponce de Leon proceeded against these Indians, but was severely repulsed by them. Mortified at his failure he returned to Porto Rico and remained in semi-retirement several years, apparently giving up the idea of colonizing Florida. …
