ASSEMBLY JOURNAL. A JOURNAL OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA AT ITS FIFTH SESSION: BEGUN AND HELD IN THE CAPITOL IN THE CITY OF TALLAHASSEE ON TUESDAY JANUARY 2 1872

187231647Tallahassee: Charles H. Walton State Printer 1872. Stitched untrimmed and uncut. 350 2 blanks 76 pp. Except for a spotted title page which is chipped at the blank corners a clean Very Good copy. An informative Journal recounting Floridians' resistance to Radical Reconstruction. Governor Harrison Reed's Message addresses ongoing disturbances and "fatal and disgraceful violence. Nine-tenths of the suffering induced has fallen upon Republicans and mainly upon colored citizens-- giving unerring evidence that these excesses have been strongly tinctured by if they have not entirely originated in political prejudice." Many murders and disruptions had occurred in Calhoun and Jackson Counties forcing citizens to flee their homes and seek shelter in other parts of the State. A Committee of Five was appointed "to examine into the cause of said murders and to ascertain why the perpetrators have not been brought to justice." The Committee concluded that "there exists an organized band whose object is to resist the laws and who are the supposed authors of the many murders and outrages committed in the county." Threats of violence and a "reign of terror" had deterred witnesses from coming forward. In Jackson County "no less than one hundred and eighty -four murders fifteen of the number being women and children and almost the entire number being colored people brutally assassinated by this band of outlaws for daring to think for themselves." Similar outrages occurred in Lafayette and other counties. Governor Reed Florida's governor from 1868-73 faced impeachment charges from this Assembly as he had in 1868 and 1870. He was later charged in sixteen Articles with illegally issuing state bonds embezzlement and bribery. The charges were dismissed. The Assembly treated other matters of government including special elections marred by violence; "an act to incorporate Brown's Theological Institute" now Edward Waters College founded in 1866 to educate former slaves and considered the oldest historically black college in Florida. Senate Bill No 82 "to be entitled an act to incorporate the Buckingham Smith Asylum for the colored people of St. Augustine" was passed. Charles H. Walton, State Printer unknown

[Florida Territory] [Richard Shippey Hackley] Palmer, Aaron HaightBiblio.com

Office of American and Foreign Agency New-York January 1831. Public notice is hereby given to all persons whom it may concern having claims debts inheritances public securities &c. payable or recoverable in any part of the United States or British America . Being authorised to dispose of a large tract of land lying on the Gulf of Mexico in East Florida .

1831List3518New York City 1831. Two-page printed circular measuring 7 Â¾ x 12 Â¾ inches with manuscript note from Aaron H. Palmer. Folded with some small tears larger tear at seal not intersecting with text. Overall excellent. Aaron Haight Palmer 1779â€“1863 was the director of the â€œAmerican and Foreign Agency for Claimsâ€â€”essentially a high-end collections agencyâ€”and later Consul General of the Republic of Ecuador. He was extremely well-connected and his activities included a tour of Europe and Asia to gather information about commerce there for the Rothschilds.1 Offered here is an 1831 circular from Palmerâ€™s Agency signed by Palmer and sent to A. Lang Esq. in Selkirk Scotland. The circular advertises the sale of â€œa large tract of land lying on the Gulf of Mexico in East Floridaâ€ which â€œis owned in sole propriety by Richard S. Hackley Esq. an American citizen.â€ Hackley 1770â€“1843 a merchant and later US Consul in Spain had been deeded twelve million acres of land around present-day Tampa by the Duke of Alagon in 1819â€”who himself had been granted the land by Ferdinand VII in 1817. The circular extols the virtues of the land for sale especially Tampa as â€œa favorable site for the foundations of a great maritime cityâ€ and Chatham Bayâ€™s â€œproximity to the West India marketsâ€. At the time Florida was in the midst of the Seminole Wars; the Treaty of Payneâ€™s Landing would soon demand that all Indigenous people in Florida leave for Indian Territory. It is not clear what came of Palmerâ€™s attempt to sell Hackleyâ€™s land; the latterâ€™s heirsâ€™ claims to his estate were settled in 1908 when the US Supreme Court decided that the Kingdom of Spain had annulled the grant prior to the Adams-OnÃs Treaty giving Florida to the US. We find one copy of the circular on OCLC. Of interest to historians of the settlement of Florida. 1 Jessica Lepler â€œâ€˜There is no need for anyone to go to Americaâ€™: commercial correspondence and nineteenth-century globalisationâ€ Rothschild Archive https://www.rothschildarchive.org/materials/no_need_to_go_to_america.pdf accessed February 12 2026. unknown

[Florida 1858]Biblio.com

A Journal of the Proceedings of the House of Representatives of the General Assembly of the State of Florida at Its Ninth Session

1858361605Tallahassee FL: Office of the Floridian & Journal Printed by Jones & Dyke 1858. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good. With most of the legislature's time taken up with questions of infrastructure particularly the Florida railroad Governor Madision S. Perry uses his annual address to warn of coming conflict with the north and to encourage the spread of slavery. This is a nicely-bound volume of the daily legislative log and the accompanying state office reports. The session ran from November 22 1858 to January 15 1859. In his prescient call for funding a militia an action that the legislature does not appear to have discussed seriously Gov. Perry warns that "the late elections in the non-slaveholding States forebode no good to us in the South. He would be a false sentinel who under the present aspect of affairs would cry peace" pp. 27–28. He then observes that many White Floridians are ambivalent about slavery and he encourages the legislature to make changes in the law to encourage slaveholding another action the lawmakers seem to have not spent much time on. Another subject that Perry devotes time to is the forcible removal of Native Americans from Florida. After twenty years of conflict the federal government had recently declared victory and ended the war. Both the governor and the legislature make appeals in this document to continue the effort until all the Seminoles and other tribes are gone from the state. 456 journal 70 reports pages. According to the daily log the print run of this issue was 700 copies. Contents heavily foxed; title page laid down on paper; some loss to the margins; fifth gathering duplicated in error; corner loss to final leaves of the reports section with no loss of text. Finely bound in three-quarter's leather and marbled paper-covered boards. The spine has raised bands and is stamped in gilt. A truly lovely period-style binding.

On his other side is his second wife Margaret Jane Leitner McGahagin 1838-1896. His brother William Emmit McGahagin and his brother’s wife Sarah Eliza McCormick McGahagin are buried about fifteen feet south of J.L. McGahagin's tombstone. Joshua L. McGahagin was a farmer a saw-mill owner and owned real estate. He owned property in Brazil as well as in this country. He owned a sawmill on Lake Weir. He would barge logs across the lake take them by ox cart to the Ocklawaha River where they were barged to Jacksonville. He was a Captain in the Confederate Army. "Longswamp was the name applied to a large area which extended from the site of the present Belleview south and southwestward to the Withlacoochee River. A post office under Joshua L. McGahagin was established for this region on August 29 1846. Frequently the office was in the home of the postmaster and mail was carried by rider once each week." "In August of 1850 panic followed after finding an Indian camp nearby on the Withlacoochee. As all Indians were supposedly within a reservation in the Everglades wild rumors were circulated. On the McGahagin plantation log barricades were hurriedly erected and settlers from isolated homes rushed here for protection. But the alarm was unjustified. An intensive search disclosed only eleven Indians. These Indians were soon deported back to the Everglades." These excerpts were taken from a history of Marion County called "Ocali Country Kingdom of the Sun" by Eloise Robinson Mrs. Roy V. Ott and Louis Hickman Chazal. One day several years after the Civil War a man who had served under Joshua Lucas MaGahagin's C.S.A. command entered the home of his eldest son William "Billy" Emmit. He saw his father's framed photograph over the mantel and exclaimed "Why that's the Ole Warhorse!" Joshua left for South America in 1868 taking one of his daughters Lula with him. He was back in Marion County in 1870 as he was listed in the Census that year. After surviving the Civil War and a trip to Brazil spending hours on horseback Joshua died when he was thrown from a horse. n.p. unknown

Albumen Photograph Featuring Rev. J.L.A. Fish and His Wife Posed with Their African American Students Outside a "Colored School"

18804993N.p. but likely Live Oak FL 1880. Very good. Albumen photograph 4.5 x 7.75 inches mounted on card. Card trimmed with pinholes at corners remnants of printed caption in bottom margin slight surface soiling and spotting. Penciled annotation on verso. A stunning original photograph featuring Rev. Joseph Leroy Atwell Fish 1828-1890 and his wife and children posed amongst their African-American students at an unnamed "colored school" which was very likely the Florida Baptist Institute. The images captures Fish his wife and probably his daughters in the middle of the frame standing in front of a large two-story schoolhouse surrounded by about eighty young Black men and women in suits and dresses. Revered Fish was a graduate of Amherst College and the Newton Theological Seminary who was ordained a Baptist minister in 1856. Fish was also a teacher who helped found Florida Memorial University Florida Baptist Institute in Live Oak in 1880 where he served as first president of the institution until his death there on March 26 1890. Florida Memorial University is the only HBCU in the southern part of the state. The penciled annotation on the present photograph provides some information on the photograph but is probably ultimately misleading in one regard: "Rev. J.L.A. Fish & wife In Virginia teaching a colored school -- He married my Father & Mother Mr. & Mrs. Milan Hills Lucy M. Williams Dec. 21 1875." The latter part of this inscription is indeed true. Reverend Fish married Milan Hills and Lucy Williams on December 21 1875 in Hebron New York where he was serving as a church pastor. But the historical record does not indicate that Reverend Fish ever taught at an African-American school in Virginia if he did it was so brief that it is now lost to history. Fish's first known foray into teaching African American students was a brief six-month stint in Natchez Mississippi in 1879. Immediately thereafter Fish was appointed to the Florida Baptist Institute where he served the last decade of his life. As such it is far more likely that the inscriber here meant to say that Reverend Fish and his wife were "In FLORIDA teaching a colored school." Reverend Fish's work at the Florida Institute is covered in the Obituary Record of Graduates of Amherst College for the Academical Year ending June 27 1883: "His chief work was with the Freedmen as he brought Florida Institute out of all its troubles financial and social changed the feeling of the whites from hatred to sympathy with his work and put the school on a permanent foundation. His aim was to educate leaders for the race and the principal effort of his school was to train teachers and preachers to go out through the state and by their example to lift up and educate both intellectually and morally the colored people. His influence was felt throughout the state both through his training of teachers and preachers and through his counsels given at conventions associations and other gatherings of the colored men and in private. He is mourned by both white and black. By the whites because they knew his teachings would help the colored people without causing trouble to them. By the latter because they miss their leader teacher and friend. unknown

Extract from a Report to the Trustees of the Apalachicola Land Company . Made May 17 1837

1837370450New York 1837. First edition. 16pp. 8vo. Original printed yellow wrappers repairs to small chips and separation at fold. Provenance: Thomas W. Streeter booklabel on inner rear wrapper pencil notes on front wrapper and first page of text. First edition. 16pp. 8vo. Comprising 1.4 million acres of land on the Gulf of Mexico between the Apalachicola and Wakulla Rivers in West Florida the Forbes land grant was ceded by the Seminoles and Lower Creeks to John Forbes & Company in payment for debts. With trade with Native Americans unprofitable during the War of 1812 Forbes sold the claim. The treaty transferring Florida to the United States did not go into effect until 1821 and private title under Spanish land grants with the territory was questionable. Decades of lawsuits ensued going as high as the Supreme Court. After the resolution of claims the title was reorganized as the Apalachiocola Land Company in 1835. The present report by the President of the Board of Directors of the New York-based company describes the geography of the region and outlines the plan for its division into lots for dwellings and businesses. The report summarizes the surveys of the region and describes the land and its resources and flora. Sabin calls for a map in this report although Servies does not note one. However the text references a map on page 7 which was likely not issued with all copies. The development of the land was not successful and the company eventually folded. "As an object of speculation the Forbes Purchase not only originated in a chaotic era but was hampered for many years by uncertain title to the land. Its development was also hindered by a lack of good agricultural land as well as by competition from the United States itself which was selling new lands in the American West at the same time the Apalachicola Land Company was getting started" Upchurch. This Streeter copy is the only example appearing in auction records and the only one we can trace in the market. Streeter purchased it from Rosenbach in 1936 for $50 and it was acquired at the Streeter sale for $65 by dealer and former Rosenbach employee John Fleming. It was eventually acquired by the collector Jay Kislak. Servies 2010; Streeter sale 1240 this copy; Sabin 5878; American Imprints 43274. See John C.
