The Archival Distribution Of Florida Manuscripts, James Alexander Robertson Dec 2020

The Archival Distribution Of Florida Manuscripts, James Alexander Robertson

Florida Historical Quarterly

This paper, read before the Conference of Historical Societies at the annual meeting of the American Historical Association, 1929, is the result of a search for archival material relating to Florida which extended over a number of years. That painstaking research has given Dr. Robertson a knowledge of the subject possessed by no one else and is assurance that this product of it is of great and unique value to all who may dig into the sources of early Florida history.


United States Troops In Spanish East Florida, 1812-13, Part V, T. Frederick Davis Dec 2020

United States Troops In Spanish East Florida, 1812-13, Part V, T. Frederick Davis

Florida Historical Quarterly

In the preceding issues of the QUARTERLY, starting with July, 1930, we followed the career of a detachment of United States regulars during their occupancy of Spanish East Florida beginning March 18, 1812, as told by their commander, Col. Thomas A. Smith, in his official and semi-official correspondence, much of which has never appeared in print before. The last issue brought the story to the time when Col. Smith turned the command over to Maj. Lawrence Manning, of the 8th U.S. Infantry, and bade adieu to the little detachment that he had led into the Spanish province more than a …


Slavery And White Servitude In East Florida, 1726-1776, Wilbur H. Siebert Dec 2020

Slavery And White Servitude In East Florida, 1726-1776, Wilbur H. Siebert

Florida Historical Quarterly

For a limited period and to a limited extent negro slavery existed in the Florida peninsula under the early Spanish regime. From at least as early as 1726 the Spaniards welcomed fugitive slaves from Georgia and South Carolina. So also did the lower Creek Indians, who treated them well, admitted them to their free life, and intermarried with them. For the next dozen years the fugitives were sold in St. Augustine, although their liberation was ordered by a royal decree of October 29, 1733. When claimants or their agents came from the neighboring colonies to recover their slaves, they got …

The Personality Of Pedro Menendez, Ruthjeanne Bellamy

Florida Historical Quarterly

In connection with the annual meeting of the Society there were held the finals in an essay contest on certain subjects of Florida’s history open to all Florida high school students, for prizes offered by Mr. Irving Bacheller and the Society. Miss Bellamy, of the Orlando High School, won the first prize for girls with the essay above. The first prize for boys went to James Erwin of the St. Augustine High School, who wrote also on Menendez. Second prizes were won by Miss Florence Tyner, of the Sanford High School, who spoke on Ponce de Leon and Early Florida …


The Reverend James Seymour, S.P.G., Missionary In Florida, Edgar Legare Pennington Dec 2020

The Reverend James Seymour, S.P.G., Missionary In Florida, Edgar Legare Pennington

Florida Historical Quarterly

When the Floridas became English territory, in 1763, there was the characteristic effort to reproduce in the new province whatever the mother country deemed essential. In less than a year Anglican missionaries were on the ground; and we find a record of nine clergymen “licensed to the plantations by the Bishops of London from the year 1745 inclusive”.


St. Joseph, An Episode Of The Economic And Political History Of Florida, Part I, James Owen Knauss Dec 2020

St. Joseph, An Episode Of The Economic And Political History Of Florida, Part I, James Owen Knauss

Florida Historical Quarterly

No subject within the wide range of Florida’s history has stirred a greater interest than St. Joseph. Because of its quick rise to importance, its still more rapid decline, and the double tragedy of its extinction, an aspect of romance has settled upon the dead town, heightened through tradition and a haze of unreality engendered by the lack of definite records of its life. Dr. Knauss, searching out and bringing together these scanty records, gives us a light, for the first time, to penetrate that mist.

The Society's Relics - I. The Bell Of A Florida Spanish Mission, Emma Rochelle Williams Dec 2020

The Society's Relics - I. The Bell Of A Florida Spanish Mission, Emma Rochelle Williams

Florida Historical Quarterly

In the museum of the Florida Historical Society, at 7 West Forsyth Street, Jacksonville, there is an old bell of Spanish origin which is one of the very few existing relics of the missions established by the Roman Catholic church in colonial days throughout the territory now embraced by the State of Florida. The bell was cast of an alloy of tin, copper, and silver; it is eighteen inches in height, measures four feet around the base, and bears the inscription SANTA MARIA ORA PROBONIS, with the date ANO 1758, and a raised cross composed of twenty-four eight-pointed stars. It …


Notes On Reconstrucion In Tallahassee And Leon County, 1866-1876, Florida Historical Society Dec 2020

Notes On Reconstrucion In Tallahassee And Leon County, 1866-1876, Florida Historical Society

Florida Historical Quarterly

The soldiers who came back in 1865 found peace and security at least, and for a time there was business activity in Tallahassee. The nightmare of Reconstruction did not begin at once - not until the United States Army took the reins of government, and that other army of carpet-baggers and camp-followers came from everywhere like buzzards collecting.


Fort King, Frederick Cubberly Dec 2020

Fort King, Frederick Cubberly

Florida Historical Quarterly

Unmarked and almost forgotten the site of Fort King, one of the historic spots of Florida, is to be found three miles east of Ocala. Established about one hundred years ago, the place was for many years the center of affairs concerning the Florida Indians. For many months during the year 1835 news from Fort King was anxiously awaited in Washington by the Administration and to this point the President of the United States and his Secretary of War dispatched many messages, or talks as the Indians described them; and from Fort King came back the reports from the Indian …


The Dade Massacre, Albert Hubbard Roberts Dec 2020

The Dade Massacre, Albert Hubbard Roberts

Florida Historical Quarterly

One who would write again of the Dade massacre, ninety-one years after its occurrence, must forego the expectation of discovering any great wealth of original data, and content himself in the main with the assembling of facts already published, and the elimination of more or less doubtful detail that has crept into former narratives, in an effort to bring into stronger relief a more or less neglected story of the American soldier’s courage and fidelity unto death. Every school-child has been taught the story of the Alamo, a tragedy enacted a scarce two months after the massacre of the Dade …

Henry Perrine, Pioneer Botanist And Horticulturist, Sarah R. W. Palmer Dec 2020

Henry Perrine, Pioneer Botanist And Horticulturist, Sarah R. W. Palmer

Florida Historical Quarterly

In the July issue last, there appeared a hitherto unpublished diary, of Mrs. Hester Perrine Walker, a survivor of the Indian massacre at Indian Key, on August 7, 1840, in which her father, the noted pioneer and botanist, lost his life. This volume of reminiscences, so intensely interesting in its depiction of the daily vicissitudes of pioneer life, graphically climaxed by the tragic occurrence of the massacre, has aroused among its readers a desire for further knowledge of the lifework of this pioneer horticulturist of Florida. Mrs. Sarah R. W. Palmer, of Miami, a grand-daughter of Dr. Perrine, tells of …


The Second Spanish-American War, A. H. Phinney Dec 2020

The Second Spanish-American War, A. H. Phinney

Florida Historical Quarterly

In the January number last there appeared an article by A. H. Phinney relating to the attempted seizure of St. Augustine in the year 1812 by United States troops and gunboats. The article was entitled THE FIRST SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR. The following paper is a resume by the same author of an analogous incident in Florida history - the raid into Florida in the year 1818 by General Andrew Jackson.
