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

Manuscript Letter Describing the Environs and Various Local Events in Antebellum Jacksonville

18584106Jacksonville Fl: March 15 1858. Very good plus. 4pp. on a single folded sheet. Old mailing folds. An informative dispatch from antebellum Florida from A.C Scranton to "Friend Barton" in 1858. In his letter Scranton reports that despite some problems he is enjoying southern people and general life in Florida: "The people generally in the south are very kind & hospitibal but I need hardly to tell you that Florida has got some hard times as every new state or Territory has but thare is a more healthy Emigration coming in every year I have been fortunate anough to find some Northern people here which makes it seam a little more like home to me. I am boarding with a family from Georgia whome I like first rate & I do just as I would at home so that things are quite pleasant here considering I am amongst strangers." He then provides information on Jacksonville and then two disasters that hit his adopted hometown: "Jacksonville is the largest place in Florida & had at one time about 3000 inhabitants it is not as large as it was once some three years ago it was visited by a very destructive fire & burned nearly half of the town. Last summer there was some kind of Fever here that almost prostrated the place some called it the Yellow Fever & some the African but none could tell for certin.about a hundred & fifteen or twenty that died here in 3 months & a grate many left the town nearly all the stors wer closed not a sound of a hammer was to be heard. When cold weather came it stoped the sickness and it seams quite lively now. It has been for many years a grate resort in the winter season for invaleds but on account of the sickness last summer thare are but few this winter if it continus healthy this summer the place will revive but if not it will kill it entirely." Scranton also discusses the transportation system that served Jacksonville and the recent winding down of the Seminole Wars: "It is situated on the Johns River about 23 miles from the mouth and is connected with Charleston & Savana by a regular line of steamers that runs up the river a hundred miles to a place called Platka whare Emigrants land & then travel by land to the interior to settle the country thare is a railroad building from this place to Tallahasse the capital of the state a distance of a hundred & eighty miles which wen completed will be a little help to this place. There is also another in progress from Fernandina a new town that lays in the North East corner of the state to a place called cedar keys on the gulf side whare they intend to carry the US mail direct from New Orleans to New York insted of going round by Key west & will shorten the time considerable. Florida has cost Uncle Sam a large some of money.the government.will make a treaty with them & send them into the Indian Territory & then close the Indian war in Florida." Almost all of the Seminoles remaining in Florida relocated to Indian Territory in the year this letter was written. A wonderfully-detailed firsthand account of Jacksonville and its development and challenges during the late 1850s. A printed transcription accompanies the letter. March 15 unknown

Written on the eve of the Mexican War April 24 1846 to February 2 1848. Content summarized: Thomas Roney Midshipman writes a lengthy letter to his brother about his situation in Pensacola and requests his brother's help with family debts. He writes:â€œThere is very little news from Mexico the latest is that Mr. Slidell has been informed that the government could not receive a Minister from the United States but that there were ready to receive a Commissioner for the settlement of the Texas question. We had consequently demanded his passports and is expected here very shortly in the Ship Manzo. The Mexicans have been making every preparation for a warâ€¦were preparing to place Santa Anna at the head of the government againâ€¦.â€ Roney had been transferred from the U.S. Brig Bainbridge back to the Raritan. He was relieved as â€œmasterâ€ and appointed "midshipman". Roney has no problem with this because the Raritan is more comfortable. Roney recently returned from Rio de Janerio and had to take large advance to pay off debts. The only regret of his demotion to midshipman is that he canâ€™t send money home to Mother any more hopes brothers can make it up. He complains of the cost of his â€œmess billâ€ and outfitting upon leaving the coast of Brazil. He writes "Any place is better than the coast of Brazil 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 Spinner Francis E.ABAA

Autograph Letter Signed "F.E. Spinner" to Angling author George Dawson dated Jacksonville Florida Feby. 19 1876 discussing Dawson's book of "fish letters" Pleasures of Angling . 1876 recounting a fish tale and praising Florida winters

1876244152Jacksonville Florida 1876. 4 pp. pen and ink on a single folded sheet. 1 vols. 12mo. Old folds. Fine. 4 pp. pen and ink on a single folded sheet. 1 vols. 12mo. The First Florida Retiree. "Spinner a strong nationalist was an important adviser to Chase on matters such as the circulation of greenbacks which bore Spinner's distinctive hard-to-duplicate signature and the creation of a national banking system. . Needing large numbers of reliable employees not subject to military service he was the first governmental administrator to turn to women. He vigorously defended their employment against critics hired over one hundred paid them well by the standards of the time and insisted on their continued employment after the war. . When a new secretary of the treasury in 1875 assumed control over the appointment of clerks however Spinner feared that dishonest people might be hired and he would be held responsible. He resigned and moved to Jacksonville Florida where he enjoyed a vigorous outdoor life until his death in that city." ANB Francis E. Spinner 1802-1890 served as Treasurer of the United States under Presidents Lincoln Johnson and Grant. In the angling world he is notable as the recipient of letters from Oliver Gibbs published as Lake Pepin Fish-Chowder 1869. In retirement in Florida he writes to George Dawson editor of the Albany Evening Journal and a noted American angling author whose Pleasures of Angling with Rod and Reel 1876 is the first American book devoted to fly fishing. Spinner writes "I am so glad to learn that you have been persuaded to publish your fish letters in book form . when yours comes out it will be read with pleasure." He then goes on to describe fishing for trout on McGirt's Creek a tributary of the St. Johns River and catching a cat fish of 18-1/2 pounds "on one of Chapman's 'No. 4 Minnow bait' . I mention this because I cannot learn from anyone that a cat fish was ever known before to strike at artificial bait." Spinner concludes lyrically "The orange and other of the citrus family are in bloom now . Whoever at the North that can afford to and who has nothing else to do and that does not spend his winters in this Elysium is to be pitied. Do come." An excellent letter with outstanding content. unknown books

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. Upchurch "Aspects of the Development and Exploration of the Forbes Purchase" Florida Historical Quarterly Vol. XLVIII No. 2 October 1969 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
