A Topographical Memoir On East And West Florida With Itineraries, Hugh Young Dec 2020

A Topographical Memoir On East And West Florida With Itineraries, Hugh Young

Florida Historical Quarterly

In a communication from General Jackson addressed to the Hon. John C. Calhoun, Secretary of War, from Fort Gadsden, May 5, 1818, there occurs the following statement: “For a detailed account of my movements from that period to this day, you are respectfully referred to the report prepared by my adjutant general, accompanied with Captain Hugh Young’s topographical sketch of the route and distance performed”. This evidently refers to the memoir and itineraries here presented.


The Manufacture Of Cotton In Florida Before And During The Civil War, Dorothy Dodd Dec 2020

The Manufacture Of Cotton In Florida Before And During The Civil War, Dorothy Dodd

Florida Historical Quarterly

The fluctuating price of cotton in the 1840’s caused the cotton planters of Florida, like their brethren in other parts of the South, to consider ways in which they might stabilize the price of their staple crop in order to stave off economic ruin. 1 Numerous proposals were made to this end, 2 but none met with more widespread response throughout the South than that. of bringing the cotton mill to the cotton field by establishing cotton manufactories throughout the cotton producing regions.

Apalachee During The Brisih Occupation, R. E. Pittman Dec 2020

Apalachee During The Brisih Occupation, R. E. Pittman

Florida Historical Quarterly

According to Prof. F. H. Hodder, in the introduction to his reprint of Pittman’s work entitled “The Present State of the European Settlements on the Mississippi,” there are but few available biographical data pertaining to Pittman. Hodder there presents such information as he was able to collect. Apparently Pittman must have accompanied the first British detachment occupying Florida, he states that he “resided four years as an engineer in those parts” and it is known that he left towards the close of 1768. Apparently during 1767 he was occupied in making surveys in different parts of West Florida, as records …


Wilkinson Call, Soldier And Senator, Part I, Albert Hubbard Roberts Dec 2020

Wilkinson Call, Soldier And Senator, Part I, Albert Hubbard Roberts

Florida Historical Quarterly

If Wilkinson Call was fortunate politically in being of a family already prominent in Florida affairs, he may have suffered historically as the nephew of a great uncle and the uncle of a great nephew; his own colorful career, including eighteen years as a United States senator, being obscured by the earlier glory of Richard Keith Call, as soldier and territorial governor of Florida, and to the present generation by the recent service of Rhydon M. Call, State and Federal jurist. Relatively few Floridians of today remember more than the name of Wilkinson Call and of these, fewer know that …

Fort Caroline, T. Frederick Davis Dec 2020

Fort Caroline, T. Frederick Davis

Florida Historical Quarterly

In 1562, Jean Ribault, seeking a location in the new world for a colony of Huguenots from France, discovered the St. Johns River. He went ashore on Batten Island at the mouth of the river, where he and his party united in a prayer of thanksgiving for the safe journey across the sea. This seems to have been the first service of the Protestant faith in North America. Leaving a marker of possession at the mouth of the river, on the south side, Ribault sailed northward along the coast. Near Port Royal, South Carolina, he left a small party of …


Edmund Ruffin's Account Of The Florida Secession Convention, 1861, Edmund Ruffin Dec 2020

Edmund Ruffin's Account Of The Florida Secession Convention, 1861, Edmund Ruffin

Florida Historical Quarterly

The following account of the Florida secession convention is taken from the manuscript diary of Edmund Ruffin in the Library of Congress. Ruffin was perhaps the most eminent southern authority on agriculture in the twenty years preceding the Civil War and his experiments in soil fertility, described in his Essays on Calcareous Manures and in the columns of the Farmers’ Register which he edited, brought an agricultural renaissance to his native Virginia. Ruffin early became convinced that the interests of the agricultural South demanded that she cut loose from the Industrial North and form a Southern Confederacy. So ardent were …


The Secession Movement In Florida, 1850-1861, Part Ii, Dorothy Dodd Dec 2020

The Secession Movement In Florida, 1850-1861, Part Ii, Dorothy Dodd

Florida Historical Quarterly

Florida had hardly taken her place in the Union when the controversy of 1850 forced her to consider the advisability and probable necessity of breaking the ties so recently formed. The popular verdict in that year was for the Union. But in the succeeding decade there were constant assertions of the right of, and probable necessity for secession, which were climaxed in 1861 by secession itself. Just what fears and hopes, what prejudices and passions, operated during that fateful decade to change the verdict from Union to Disunion cannot be gauged with precision ; but surface manifestations of the process …
