A Collection of Ephemera Relating to the Dubious Sale of Land in the Florida Panhandle in the 1880s

1886LIST112Cincinnati: St. Andrews Bay Railroad and Land Company 1886. Various Formats. Near Fine. An unusual collection of ephemera relating to the early development of the area of the Florida Panhandle east of Pensacola and an interesting ephemeral window into the type of land schemes that led to the population of Florida by northerners. In the late nineteenth century the area of Port Panama City in the Florida Panhandle was largely undeveloped though the town had strategic interest as a supplier of salt for the confederacy. In the 1880s the St. Andrews Bay Railroad and Land and Company was the second of two companies to sell land in the St. Andrews Bay region to unsuspecting northerners only to go bankrupt. The company promised to build a railroad from Alabama down to Southport crossing North Bay and eventually terminating in St. Andrews. Though the railway project was abandoned many people settled in the area as a result of the land sales. The company became known locally as the "Cincinnati Company." Includes: Warranty deeds for land sold to Lizzie Kegema Hosley of Somerville MA. 1886-1887. Letter from the St. Andrews Bay Railroad & Land Co to L.K.

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 eight -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 books

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
