The Seminole Indians Of Florida, Minnie Moore-Willson Mar 2021

The Seminole Indians Of Florida, Minnie Moore-Willson

Florida Historical Quarterly

Looking backwards for nearly two centuries we see a band of red Americans, who are to become the Seminoles, separate themselves from the Creek Confederacy of Georgia and Alabama and cross the boundary into Florida. Subjects now of the Spanish crown, they become a nation to themselves, and under the sunny skies of the peninsular establish their golden-rule tribal government-characterized throughout by independence, kindliness, and honor.

Macgregor’S Invasion Of Florida, T. Frederick Davis

Florida Historical Quarterly

Gregor MacGregor was the grandson of Gregor MacGregor, the Scotchman, who enlisted in the Black Watch, then Semphill’s Highlanders, and was called in Gaelic “Gregor, the Beautiful.” When the regiment was first ordered to England, in 1743, “Gregor, the Beautiful” and two others were sent on in advance to London, so that the king of England, who was on the point of starting for the continent, might see some soldiers of the regiment before leaving.

Fort George (St. Michael), Pensacola, Frederick Cubberly Mar 2021

Fort George (St. Michael), Pensacola, Frederick Cubberly

Florida Historical Quarterly

On viewing Pensacola for the first time one is at once impressed with the gradual rise of Palafox Street from the waters of the bay northward to the top of an eminence where tall shaft has been erected in memory of the soldiers of the Confederacy. To the southwest of this monument there are still traces of a fort where grim-visaged war was waged more than a century ago. Flags of three nations have waved from the fortification built on this commanding position, and the results of battles fought here have reached to distant lands and had weight in the …

The Legal Status Of The Negro In Florida, Thelma Bates Mar 2021

The Legal Status Of The Negro In Florida, Thelma Bates

Florida Historical Quarterly

The history of the negro has been for centuries a history of enslavement. Sir Harry Johnston observed that the negro, “more than any other human type has been marked out by his mental and physical characteristics as the servant of other races.” His dominant characteristics, docility, submissiveness, cheerfulness of disposition and a short memory for sorrows and cruelties have made him largely subordinate to others. “Of this disposition the most aggressive and progressive race has taken advantage and for centuries held the black man in bondage."

History Of The Introduction And Culture Of Cuba Tobacco In Florida, Charles H. Dupont Mar 2021

History Of The Introduction And Culture Of Cuba Tobacco In Florida, Charles H. Dupont

Florida Historical Quarterly

An address delivered before the Florida Fruit Growers Association, at Jacksonville, January 20, 1875, by Ex-Chief Justice Charles H. DuPont of the Supreme Court of Florida, and taken from the Proceedings of that meeting. It is now believed that in the history of a people a record of the lives of the people themselves is of greater import than that of those in authority. The facts regarding early tobacco growing in Florida are now generally unknown, but of greater importance is the record of Judge Dupont’s observations extending over a period of forty years on “the influence of tobacco culture …
