Note About The Birthplace Of Hernando De Soto, El Conde De Canilleros
Note About The Birthplace Of Hernando De Soto, El Conde De Canilleros
Florida Historical Quarterly
Don Miguel Munoz de San Pedro, Conde de Canilleros y de San Miguel, member of the Spanish Royal Academy of History in Madrid, is the foremost authority writing on the lives of men from Extremadura province who linked the old world to the new. He comes to this interest by virtue of descent from an ancient house which has been present in the “American Enterprise” since the time of Columbus. The palace in which the Conde lives was built by his ancestor Diego de Ovando, brother of Spain’s first royal governor in America, Frey Nicolas de Ovando, who was sent …
Altar And Hearth: The Coming Of Christianity, Michael V. Gannon
Altar And Hearth: The Coming Of Christianity, Michael V. Gannon
Florida Historical Quarterly
The Catholic Church in this Country does not begin her history after colonies were formed, and men had looked to their temporal well-being. Her priests were among the explorers of the coast, were the pioneers of the vast interior; with Catholic settlers came the minister of God, and Mass was said to hallow the land and draw down the blessing of heaven before the first step was taken to rear a human habitation. The altar was older than the hearth.
The Exploration Of Florida And Sources On The Founding Of St. Augustine, Luis Rafael Arana
The Exploration Of Florida And Sources On The Founding Of St. Augustine, Luis Rafael Arana
Florida Historical Quarterly
Four hundred years ago, Europeans made the first permanent settlement within the present limits of the United States. These were Spaniards who under Pedro Menendez de Aviles established St. Augustine in 1565, upon land discovered fifty-two years earlier. In the interval between discovery and colonization, the coast of Florida had been gradually charted and portions of the interior explored. Though all attempts at planting the civilization of Spain in the new land failed until Menendez appeared on the scene, the discoveries of Juan Ponce de Leon, Alonso Alvarez de Pineda, Panfilo de Narvaez, and Hernando de Soto gradually outlined the …

Florida Historical Quarterly
At the conclusion of the Civil War, a number of plans were presented for the colonization of freedmen.

Observations On The Origin And Date Of A Seventeenth-Century Florida Map, Ron L. Seckinger
Observations On The Origin And Date Of A Seventeenth-Century Florida Map, Ron L. Seckinger
Florida Historical Quarterly
In Woodbury Lowery's The Spanish Settlements within the Present Limits of the United States. Florida, 1562-1574 (1905 edition), there is a map with an inscription which reads, “Map of the coast of Florida, in which region is the Laguna Maymi and where the fort is to be made.” A cloverleaf drawn on the map indicates the site of a projected fort at the Bocas de Miguel Mora, an unidentified location on the southeastern coast of the peninsula. The map, as well as contemporary Spanish documents, indicates that the place called the Bocas was along the southeast coast of Florida, probably …
A South Carolina Lawyer Visits St. Augustine - 1837, John Hammond Moore
A South Carolina Lawyer Visits St. Augustine - 1837, John Hammond Moore
Florida Historical Quarterly
Just why Henry Summer, a young South Carolina lawyer, journeyed to Florida in the winter of 1837 is not clear. This account, entitled simply “Journal &c. for 1837,” indicates his purpose was to search court records in St. Augustine-perhaps for Judge John Belton O’Neall, a noted jurist with whom he was associated. Born in 1809 of distinguished German stock, Henry was one of six sons. One brother, William (1815-78), became a horticulturist of some note and gave the name Pomaria to the Newberry County community where he lived. Another, Adam (1818-66), was a well-known Columbia printer. As this narrative makes …
Curbing Of Voter Intimidation In Florida, 1871, Ralph L. Peek
Curbing Of Voter Intimidation In Florida, 1871, Ralph L. Peek
Florida Historical Quarterly
The national Republican administration by early 1870, was aware that large-scale intimidation of Negro voters throughout the South was effectively curbing Negro voting and hurting the party. Consequently, legislation was proposed to protect Negro rights by enforcing the fifteenth amendment to the United States constitution. On February 21, 1870, Representative John Bingham of Ohio introduced a bill that was supposed to protect voting rights wherever they were being denied. Administration spokesmen testified that intimidation and violence were keeping Negroes from the polls in several states, and that federal “force” legislation was needed to protect civil rights in states where politicians …
Social Legislation In Reconstruction Florida, Derrell Roberts
Social Legislation In Reconstruction Florida, Derrell Roberts
Florida Historical Quarterly
State legislatures for the most part, generally prefer to leave social and welfare problems to others, either private individuals or other government agencies. Even though their taxing powers, as well as their legislative possibilities, are not nearly so limited as their national counterparts, the ideal solution, they insist, is “private initiative.” On the contemporary scene, when many citizens believe that some social legislation is necessary, state legislative bodies seem to prefer leaving such important matters to the national Congress, even on a matching basis. In this regard, Florida’s reconstruction legislature was modern, it pursued a policy that is still in …
Pensacola Labor Problems And Political Radicalism, Wayne Flynt
Pensacola Labor Problems And Political Radicalism, Wayne Flynt
Florida Historical Quarterly
Historians have generally ignored labor organization in the South. Even the few pioneer studies dealing with southern labor have been confined to the more spectacular strikes in a handful of states. Florida’s unions, radicalism, and labor politics have been damned to the historical limbo surrounding so much of her twentieth-century history. The records reveal that Florida’s labor organizations, beginning with the Knights of Labor in the 1880’s, experienced the same cycles of growth, power, decline, and frustration as in the more highly industrialized northeast. Before examining a specific phase in the long and often sanguinary struggle to organize Florida’s workingmen, …

The Editor's Corner--James Buckland: The Mystery Of An Early Florida Visitor, Eugene Alvarez
Florida Historical Quarterly
Florida, in 1836, was little more than a semi-tropical battlefield for United States troops and Seminole Indians. Having only been recently acquired from Spain, the major towns of the territory, by 1836, were St. Augustine, possessing approximately 4,000 inhabitants, and Pensacola with a population of approximately 2,000 persons. The St. Johns was the major river of the territory, and along its shores were located several tiny settlements, including the small river town of Jacksonville.

The Editor's Corner--Key West In The Summer Of 1864, Millicent Todd Bingham
Florida Historical Quarterly
From 1918 until her death in 1932, my mother, Mabel Loomis Todd, was a prominent resident of Coconut Grove Florida. Her home, “Matsuba,” was a center of cultural life in the community. Recently I have been reading the letters of her mother’s brother, Colonel John Augustus Wilder, written to his family during the Civil War. Stationed at Key West in February 1864, he remained there until August 28, 1865, when he was appointed Judge Advocate General of the Department of Florida and left for Tallahassee, his post until December 9, 1865. He was mustered out of the United States Army …
Ponce De Leon Inlet, Alice Strickland
Ponce De Leon Inlet, Alice Strickland
Florida Historical Quarterly
In its day it has been called the “Killer Inlet” because of its treacherous bar that has ripped out the insides of ships and hurled men to the sandy, shifty bottom to strew their white bones like beads from a broken necklace. From early Spanish times it was named Mosquito Inlet; since 1926, it has been called Ponce de Leon Inlet.
Henry S. Sanford And Labor Problems In The Florida Orange Industry, Richard J. Amundson
Henry S. Sanford And Labor Problems In The Florida Orange Industry, Richard J. Amundson
Florida Historical Quarterly
Henry Shelton Sandord, direct descendant of Thomas Sanford who had come to Massachusetts in the 1630’s, made many contributions to the economic welfare of the United States and particularly to Florida, his “adopted state.” Sanford’s foresight and his sizable investments promoted the growth and prosperity of the orange culture in central Florida. His adoption of modern equipment and scientific methods of cultivation, including selective cross-breeding of citrus stocks and the use of irrigation, speeded the so-called “orange revolution” which occurred in the post-Civil War period. Progress and change, however, often are opposed, and so it was with Sanford’s efforts to …
Confederate Railroad Construction: The Live Oak To Lawton Connector, Jerrell H. Shofner
Confederate Railroad Construction: The Live Oak To Lawton Connector, Jerrell H. Shofner
Florida Historical Quarterly
One of the Confederacy’s most perplexing problems involved combining the disconnected southern railroads into a system of transportation between the various parts of the South. Lack of equipment and enemy action were major reasons for the failure to solve the problem. The Confederate government also pursued the disastrous policy of relying as much as possible on private initiative to supply its needs.
