Orlando Florida traces its roots back to the 1830s during a period marked by the Seminole Wars where the U.S. Army built Fort Gatlin south of the present-day Orlando city limits to protect settlers from attacks by Native Americans. By 1840 the area around Fort Gatlin was settled leading to the growth of a small community that by 1856 was known as Jernigan named after the Jernigan family who established the first permanent settlement. The name Orlando was adopted in 1857 though the origin of the name is subject to various legends one of the most popular claims it was named after Orlando Reeves a soldier who allegedly died in the area during the Second Seminole War. The city was officially incorporated in 1875 and by the late 19th century Orlando became a significant hub for Florida's citrus industry. The Record Company unknown
18903620Gainesville Fl: Daily Advocate Job Print 1890. Very good. 4pp. on a single folded sheet. Mild soiling minor toning old folds. A seemingly unrecorded real estate promotional leaflet issued by Louis A. Barnes and Watson Porter local land attorneys working in and around Gainesville Florida. The pair is seeking prospective purchasers for "much valuable" homestead lands now available for settlement again after being abandoned "under the homestead or pre-emption laws." They also offer services for claims on "Spanish Grants" land warrants soldiers' homestead rights and more. Interestingly one of the two lawyers here Watson Porter previously served as a surgeon in the Third U.S. Colored Troops. In Florida Porter and his wife Olivia established O.A. Porter's Addition to Gainesville selling lots exclusively to African-American people who did not have ready access to land or financing; the neighborhood survives today in Gainesville as Porters Quarters. Porter also served as the Principal of the Union Academy a freedman's school and was a strong supporter of Josiah T. Walls the only African-American man from Gainesville to be elected and seated twice to the U.S. House of Representatives. Some of the land and services in question in the present pamphlet were almost certainly provided to African-American settlers. The pamphlet was printed by the Gainesville-area Daily Advocate which operated in the area between 1884 and 1890. No copies located in OCLC. Daily Advocate Job Print unknown

Complete year of this periodical formerly edited and written by Dr. Cyrus R. Teed a Utica NY native and founder of the Koreshan Unity. "Koreshanity" as it was also known was born in the wake of two related movements: the millenial fervor that swept early-to-mid-19th century central and western New York State and the utopian communalism that began attracting increasing numbers of adherents during the same period and into the later 19th century." A graduate of Eclectic Medical College of the City of New York Teed's interests went beyond medicine to encompass alchemy botany physics and metaphysics and he would regularly conduct experiments in these areas inside his medical laboratory. It was in this laboratory in 1869 that "Teed conceived what would become known as Koreshanity after experiencing a late-night religious vision. During what he called his "illumination" he saw a beautiful woman who revealed to him a series of universal truths which formed the fundamental principles of Koreshan belief." Among Teed's most interesting beliefs was cellular cosmogony or the hollow earth - the notion that the earth was not a convex sphere but instead a hollow concave cell containing the entire universe with the sun at its center. <br/><br/>After failed attempts at founding communal settlements in Moravia Syracuse and New York City Teed moved to Chicago IL where his persuasive oratory enabled him to assemble a firm core of followers in the late 1880's and form the commune called Beth-Ophra. Teed incorporated his organization there as the College of Life in 1886 and established a printing house that began producing three major publications: The Guiding Star The Flaming Sword and The Plowshare and Pruning Hook. "These publciations began a long legacy of Koreshan publishing aimed at the public as well as their own members intended to explain and promote their beliefs relate and preserve their story and discuss political social scientific and religious ideas and issues." <br/><br/>Believing himself to be a messiah who would lead his people in establishing a New Jerusalem Teed assumed the name Koresh in 1891 after Cyrus the Great King of Persia. As with his previous locations Teed's beliefs did not endear him or his followers to the general public forcing him to relocate from Chicago to the quiet beach town of Estero FL in 1894 the final home of the Koreshan Unity where Teed would establish his New Jerusalem. It was here that the Koreshan Unity established a growing self-sustaining community though at the height of the movement their membership numbered no more than 250. Though Teed died in December 1908 The Flaming Sword continued to be published from Estero through the 1960's with the Koreshan publishing tradition continuing well into the 1980's.
