Loss Of Identity On Pensacola's Past: A Creole Footnote, Donald H. Bragaw Oct 2021

Loss Of Identity On Pensacola's Past: A Creole Footnote, Donald H. Bragaw

Florida Historical Quarterly

Research into the status of Pensacola’s blacks during the progressive era uncovers an interesting sidelight into the history of the city’s Creole population. It is a glimpse into the decline of a once-proud tradition. It is also indicative of the Creole’s ambivalent posture as they were forced by increasing turn-of-the-century racist pressures to declare their allegiance to, or to throw in their lot with, the black or white race. In being forced to “declare” meant for many of the Creoles a loss of their separate identity.


Apalachee Indians, 1704-1763, James W. Covington Oct 2021

Apalachee Indians, 1704-1763, James W. Covington

Florida Historical Quarterly

One of Florida’s most tragic incidents occurred when Governor James Moore of South Carolina and his small army composed of 1,000 Indians and fifty whites moved into the Apalachee area of North Florida and laid waste to what had been the center of the Franciscan missions. Accounts of this raid describe the gallant defense made at Ayubale mission by Father Miranda and his neophytes, the defeat of the relief column from San Luis under command of Captain Ruiz Mexia, the torture of captives, the destruction of the Apalachee villages, and the removal of 3,000 or more Apalachees for resettlement in …


Cruise Of The Minnehaha, Pat Dodson Oct 2021

Cruise Of The Minnehaha, Pat Dodson

Florida Historical Quarterly

In the winter of 1891-1892 four men— three brothers, Stanley, Robert, and Edward Bullock, and their friend, A. E. Woodham — sailed a thirty-foot sloop, the Minnehaha, from Narcoossee on East Lake Tohopekaliga on a round trip down the Kissimmee River to Lake Okeechobee and out to the Gulf of Mexico via the Caloosahatchee River. They began the trip that fall down the Kissimmee River, opened a few years before by Hamilton Disston’s dredges. Leaving November 26, they reached Marco on January 9 and returned home February 8. They followed a tortuous route, covering about 1,000 miles in seventy-three days.


Tivoli Theatre Of Pensacola, Dian Lee Shelley Oct 2021

Tivoli Theatre Of Pensacola, Dian Lee Shelley

Florida Historical Quarterly

Pensacola during the 1820s was hardly more than a small frontier town, yet its citizens, with a predominately French and Spanish background, enthusiastically supported a theatre. Its importance is not that major theatrical personalities were attracted to the community, but that such a remote town, still the center of Indian trade, would welcome a theatre at all. The desire and support of dramatic entertainment suggests a different perspective from the conception of Pensacola during this period as a raw frontier town surrounded by wilderness.

Tacatacuru And The San Pedro De Mocamo Mission, Jerald T. Milanich Oct 2021

Tacatacuru And The San Pedro De Mocamo Mission, Jerald T. Milanich

Florida Historical Quarterly

Dr. William R. Bullard of the Florida State Museum and this author made an archeological survey of Cumberland Island, Georgia, in June 1970, primarily to locate prehistoric Indian village sites. An extensive shell midden area displaying Spanish and historic Indian ceramics was found, and a preliminary surface collection was made. In the next several weeks more samples of surface material were secured, and from these artifacts and from physical characteristics of the site, information regarding the historic and proto-historic aboriginal occupations of the island can be derived. It seems likely that this was the site of the Timucuan village of …


John Bull's Stinginess In East Florida, Claude C. Sturgill Oct 2021

John Bull's Stinginess In East Florida, Claude C. Sturgill

Florida Historical Quarterly

There is no doubt that in the British imperial heaven the scheme of things after 1763 called for the Floridas to become to the American South what Lake George and Quebec were to the American North. A brief study of British regiments in St. Augustine in the eighteenth century demonstrates how military units were assigned to East Florida. Unfortunately the article brings into print once again, although this time through omission, what is proving to be the myth of the financial plight of the Floridas during the period of English occupation. Professor Charles Loch Mowat’s writings also accepted the theory …


The Labor League Of Jacksonville: A Negro Union And White Strikebreakers, Jerrell H. Shofner Oct 2021

The Labor League Of Jacksonville: A Negro Union And White Strikebreakers, Jerrell H. Shofner

Florida Historical Quarterly

After the Civil War the Florida lumber industry quickly recovered and expanded until it became a major factor in the state’s economy. Yellow pine lumber and heavy timber was being shipped from Florida to domestic, European, and Latin American ports in large quantities by 1873. In that year twenty sawmills near Jacksonville employed hundreds of laborers. Lumber was surpassed only by tourism in relative importance to the city’s economy. City leaders were predicting prosperity and growth on the basis of an expanding lumber industry and tourist trade. In April, 6,660,000 superficial feet of lumber was loaded on schooners and a …

Sunday, the 24th of April dawned with horizons and sky clear and wind favorable from the NE. At 6:00 A.M. after hearing the Holy Sacrifiice of the Mass, we departed the vessel with the longboat and canoe, both armed, in which the following men went: Frigate Lieutenant Don José Jiménez; Don Fraucisco Maria Celi; Don Juan Franco, a draftsman from the navy yard by the stream;55 the carpenter and the caulker of the xebec; and fifteen seamen. All this was in expectation of drawing a chart, and of surveying the forests and pines for masts, their quality, length, and thickness. …


Slavetrading In Antebellum Florida, Julia F. Smith Oct 2021

Slavetrading In Antebellum Florida, Julia F. Smith

Florida Historical Quarterly

Much of the slave trade in Florida centered in Tallahassee, the heart of the cotton belt. New Orleans was perhaps the largest southern slave market. Negro-traders, characters looked down upon by all, purchased slaves there “from the block” at public outcry. Most of the supply for Florida planters was brought in by these traders. They came to St. Marks by ship and then on to Tallahassee to dispose of their cargoes. The blacks were kept in the public jail or in “slave pens,” special buildings designed with cells, until time of sale. The auctions were widely advertised in advance, and …


Claude Pepper And The Florida Canal Controversy, 1939-1943, Alexander R. Stoensen Oct 2021

Claude Pepper And The Florida Canal Controversy, 1939-1943, Alexander R. Stoensen

Florida Historical Quarterly

The dream of a waterway across Florida from the Atlantic Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico long has captured the imagination. In 1595 Spanish cartographers depicted one across the peninsula, a mistake assumed correct for nearly 200 years. During the British period in Florida, the royal government conducted a survey to determine if such a route existed, and in 1788 the United States army produced a sketch map of the area, although by that time it was clear no watercourse existed. Later, Thomas Jefferson’s administration exhibited the first high-level American interest in the construction of a waterway—an interest which has …
