Indian Races Of Florida, Benjamin Harrison Nov 2020

Indian Races Of Florida, Benjamin Harrison

Florida Historical Quarterly

Ethnologists now accept the conclusion that the races who built the mounds were pressed to the southward by ruder invaders who came from the North and that the great battles of the conflict between the two were fought in Ohio where the remains of the fortifications erected for defense still remain. On this continent we have, on a smaller scale, a duplication of the struggle which ended in the overthrow of the Roman empire. The great body of these invaders were diverted towards Mexico, where the Toltec empire was overthrown by the Aztecs, soon to be conquered in their turn …


Florida Against Georgia: A Story Of The Boundary Dispute, Fred Cubberly Nov 2020

Florida Against Georgia: A Story Of The Boundary Dispute, Fred Cubberly

Florida Historical Quarterly

It has been said that boundary line disputes between individuals are the worst kind of quarrels, and often cause lifelong differences and even descend to heirs of original disputants. When sovereign states have boundary line questions to settle, the Supreme Court of the United States is the tribunal that settles the question, for it is in that Court alone that such questions may be litigated.


Florida's Great Seal: Its Historical Inaccuracies, T. Frederick Davis Nov 2020

Florida's Great Seal: Its Historical Inaccuracies, T. Frederick Davis

Florida Historical Quarterly

Since Florida became a possession of the United States there have been in use at different times at least four official seals - two in the Territorial days and two after it became a State.


Colonial Florida, Louis J. Mendelis Nov 2020

Colonial Florida, Louis J. Mendelis

Florida Historical Quarterly

The extent of territory and the duration of time covered by a subject so broad as Colonial Florida make an introductory note necessary. The name Florida once covered all the territory from the end of the Peninsula to Labrador. In Colonial times, before James Moore's destructive expedition, the name was confined to the present States of Florida and Georgia. Not until 1821 did the State acquire its present boundaries.

Florida Newspapers And Their Value To Historians, James O. Knauss Nov 2020

Florida Newspapers And Their Value To Historians, James O. Knauss

Florida Historical Quarterly

To write history one must have source material. This is a ridiculous truism, but is sometimes overlooked by would-be writers of history. A man cannot write history by reconstructing the past from his own imagination. Such a process produces fiction, not history. Probably the feature most unattractive to the majority of writers is the gathering of the source material from which history is to be written. This collecting of material often does not fire the imagination, and is considered, I am afraid, by many sheer drudgery. The work of the bibliographer does not appeal to those who desire instant popular …

Reminiscenses Of The Indian Uprising Near Fort Gatlin, Florida, Martha Tyler

Florida Historical Quarterly

The Florida Historical Society is greatly indebted to Mrs. Martha Tyler (nee Miss Martha Jernigan), of Orlando, Florida, for the following interesting reminiscences of the Indian uprisings near Fort Gatlin.

Old Pictures Of The New Florida: Ponce De Leon And His Land, Benjamin Harrison Nov 2020

Old Pictures Of The New Florida: Ponce De Leon And His Land, Benjamin Harrison

Florida Historical Quarterly

The discoverers of a new world are accepted as among the boldest and shrewdest men, with very few exceptions; it is the misfortune of Florida that her history is made to begin in popular conception, with her discovery by an old man, who foolishly sought here a renewed youth, that he might gain the love of a young girl. But Ponce stood high among the soldiers and statesmen of Spain, because of the services already given. When he received permission to seek and govern a new land, he was only in the maturity of mental and physical vigor, and if …


Home Life Of The Florida Indians, Benjamin Harrison Nov 2020

Home Life Of The Florida Indians, Benjamin Harrison

Florida Historical Quarterly

Every family of mankind refers fondly to a Golden Age, when peace and innocence reigned on earth. The lost paradise is no monopoly of the Christian, of the Greek or even of the Old World, since the Inca and the Aztec were equally confident in the truth of his traditions describing it. When Columbus compared the happy conditions he observed in the islands to which he came, with those of Europe, he declared the inhabitants were close to the angels in disposition as well as in geography, and he confidently looked for his Blessed Mountain in all his wanderings. When …

The following extract is from Miss Sarah L. Jones' "Life in the South from the Commencement of the War," which was published in London, in 1863.

In 1861 she was engaged by Gov. John Milton of Florida, as tutor to his children and the following extract relates some of her observations and impressions in this family. It will be noted that some of her criticisms are caustic and portray rather too …

Princesse Achille Murat: A Biographical Sketch, Ellen Call Long Nov 2020

Princesse Achille Murat: A Biographical Sketch, Ellen Call Long

Florida Historical Quarterly

Cold in death is the heart so long attuned to suffering's call, friendship's genial mingling, and love's devotion. Ail that a prodigal nature gave in a noble, generous and gentle heart, with enchanting face and form, of almost perennial youth and loveliness, is lost to us, and how can we do without her in a world where such are so few? For more than forty years the subject of this sketch had lived in Florida, having removed to the Territory from the State of Virginia not very long after the "Exchange of Flags," which made it the property of the …


St. Joseph, Florida, Florida Historical Society Nov 2020

St. Joseph, Florida, Florida Historical Society

Florida Historical Quarterly

The prominence which has been given to St. Josephs bay of late owing to the tendency of the Western roads to find an outlet on the Gulf, so as to connect their lines with the Panama Canal, makes the history of this once famous place interesting to the readers who delve into the conditions of the past.
