Letters Of A Florida Settler In 1877, W. A. Smith
Letters Of A Florida Settler In 1877, W. A. Smith
Florida Historical Quarterly
W. A. Smith was born in Hadley, Mass., in 1826. During his early boyhood his family moved to Wisconsin where he grew up. After marrying and raising a family of two sons and a daughter, he removed to Cortland, N. Y. Reading of Florida’s attractions, he decided to settle there. En route to Florida, he made expenses by giving Bible lectures illustrated by magic lantern slides.
David Betton Macomb, Frontiersman, Andrew Forest Muir
David Betton Macomb, Frontiersman, Andrew Forest Muir
Florida Historical Quarterly
Well known in American history is the peripatetic hunter and trapper, farmer and stockholder who at the head of the westward movement pushed into new areas only to abandon them when joined by too close neighbors. These folk were the vanguard of American civilization. Conspicuous among them are Daniel Boone and David Crockett. Less well known are the equally peripatetic professional men - lawyers, teachers, ministers, and physicians - who were largely instrumental in transmitting to the frontier the typical institutions of American life. Like the early group they too abandoned an area when it became stable and settled to …
Salmon P. Chase And Civil War Politics In Florida, Ovid L. Futch
Salmon P. Chase And Civil War Politics In Florida, Ovid L. Futch
Florida Historical Quarterly
When Secretary of the Treasury Salmon P. Chase was seeking the 1864 Republican presidential nomination, he endeavored to build political fences wherever fortune beckoned. One such state was Florida.
Are There De Soto Relics In Florida?, John M. Goggin
Are There De Soto Relics In Florida?, John M. Goggin
Florida Historical Quarterly
The adventurous trip of Hernando de Soto from his debarkation on the Florida Gulf Coast in 1539, through thousands of miles of wilderness, to his death on the Mississippi River in 1542 has been the subject of many fictional and scholarly studies. Despite the careful attention given to his journey many questions arise in the minds of the students. One is the puzzling problem of why no material objects have ever been found which can be derived from the De Soto expedition. It is hard to believe a party of more than five hundred well-equipped men would leave or lose …

Spanish Interest In British Florida, And In The Progress Of The American Revolution, Mark F. Boyd
Spanish Interest In British Florida, And In The Progress Of The American Revolution, Mark F. Boyd
Florida Historical Quarterly
Despite the loss of Florida to Great Britain in 1763, colonial officials in Cuba, probably reflecting the attitude of the Spanish Court, maintained a lively interest in their erstwhile province and preserved a hope of its eventual recovery. When the mounting tension in the British colonies to the north progressed from civil disorder to the revolutionary struggle, Spanish interest in the conflict became intense as the cherished hope began to exhibit the possibility of attainment. The meagerness of the news which reached that Court through random channels was insufficient to reveal the trend of events or determine the moment for …
The Election Of 1876 In Florida, By Marcellus L. Stearns, Republican Candidate For Governor, Edward C. Williamson
The Election Of 1876 In Florida, By Marcellus L. Stearns, Republican Candidate For Governor, Edward C. Williamson
Florida Historical Quarterly
The only carpetbagger boss of a Negro county machine to become governor of Florida, Union Army veteran Marcellus L. Stearns, sought reelection as the Republican candidate in 1876. Born at Lovell, Maine, on April 29, 1839, Stearns at the outbreak of the Civil War was a student at Waterville College, Maine. He left there in 1861 in answer to President Lincoln’s call for volunteers. Losing an arm in the hard fighting in the Shenandoah Valley at the Battle of Winchester, he transferred to the Freedmen’s Bureau, and first came to Florida in 1866, being stationed as an official of the …
The Florida, Atlantic And Gulf Central Railroad, Paul E. Fenlon
The Florida, Atlantic And Gulf Central Railroad, Paul E. Fenlon
Florida Historical Quarterly
Though the factors responsible for the failure of Florida to experience the rapid economic development which took place in the vast western areas of the United States during the latter half of the nineteenth century are numerous and diverse, lack of adequate railroad transportation, certainly until the 1880’s, stands out as one of the most important.

Pensacola In 1810, Florida Historical Society
Pensacola In 1810, Florida Historical Society
Florida Historical Quarterly
In his research for a doctoral dissertation on “The Federal Government’s Factory System, 1796-1822,” Rev. Aloysius Plaisance, O.S.B. read numerous newspaper files of that period and came upon several descriptions of Pensacola in that era which he has sent us for publication. All are interesting and will be published here in time. Little is known, first-hand, of the Pensacola of 1810, so this account from the St. Louis Louisiana Gazette of September 27, 1910 is of much interest.

The South Florida Military Institute (Bartow), Samuel Proctor
The South Florida Military Institute (Bartow), Samuel Proctor
Florida Historical Quarterly
As was true of most of the institutions of higher learning taken over by the State at one time or another, the South Florida Military and Educational Institution had operated first as a private school. In 1894 Major General Evander McIver Law, a teacher of long and varied experience, and a Confederate veteran of distinguished service, founded a military school in Bartow, which eventually became one of the constituent parents of the University of Florida
The Marine Forces Of William Augustus Bowles And His State Of Muskogee, Lyle N. Mcalister
The Marine Forces Of William Augustus Bowles And His State Of Muskogee, Lyle N. Mcalister
Florida Historical Quarterly
Among the host of adventurers, dreamers, filibusters and trouble-makers who have added drama to the pages of Florida history, William Augustus Bowles yields to none. Among his enemies, and these were in the majority, he was referred to by epithets ranging from the relatively mild “that fellow Bowles” to the more emphatic “vagabond,” “desperado,” “Black Guard,” “Captain Liar,” and “desperate vile adventurer.” Among his friends and admirers he was known variously as “Beloved Warrior,” “Captain,” “General,” and “Director General.” In the pursuit of his designs Bowles dreamed great dreams, performed remarkable feats of derring-do, executed spectacular escapes, and by a …
