Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FORGOTTEN FLORIDA, tells the story of the Florida peninsula from the Adams-Onis Treaty in 1819 up to the beginning of the Second Seminole War in 1835. The story is told from the perspective of well-documented men who took part in the development of the Gulf coastal areas from Pensacola to Key West and include Commodore David Porter, Colonel James Gadsden, Colonel George Brooke, Colonel Duncan Clinch, and Major Francis Dade as well as Captain William Bunce of the Aristocrat and Captain Fred Tresca of the Margaret Ann—both of whom sailed the Gulf coast from Key West to Pensacola and served to connect the various settlements. The book begins with the New York lawyer, Richard Hackley, who had been a consul in Cadiz, Spain, and had—purchased the entire west side of Florida from the Spanish Duke Alagon, who had received it as a gift from King Ferdinand of Spain before the peninsula had been given to the United States for the forgiveness of Ferdinand’s five-million-dollar debt to the U.S. Believing the purchase to be legal, Richard Hackley sends his son, Robert, to the Tampa Bay area to set up a homestead and open the land to settlement. Braving the pirate-ridden waters surrounding Key West and fall storms, Hackley arrives at Tampa Bay and builds a plantation home in November 1823. Heading to Pensacola for supplies in late December, Hackley returns to Tampa Bay to discover that—following the Treaty of Moultrie Creek—the U.S. Army had designated the same area in which he has built his home as a base on the western side of the new Seminole territory and has taken over his home and land for Cantonment Brooke. Action continues from the new base to the building of Tallahassee, the establishment of Key West, and the settlement of Sanibel Island—with the Hackley family attempting to settle and sell their land—during the Seminole unrest threatening the territory culminating with the massacre of Major Dade’s Companies on December 28, 1835, and the beginning of the second Seminole War.

Book excerpt: Author Erik T. Robinson takes the reader through the city's colorful past up to its promising future using both familiar and never-before-seen photographs. Located in the rolling hills of Florida's Panhandle, Tallahassee has long stood as a capital city. It has been home to prehistoric Native Americans, who built the Lake Jackson Mounds in the 13th century; the Apalachee Indians, who learned to live with the Spanish Mission in the 17th century; and to European settlers and the American residents of today. Tallahassee's tree-lined, canopied roads and bountiful dogwoods and azaleas have always been associated with the leadership and history of the state. The presence of institutions such as Florida State University and Florida A&M have also made Tallahassee an attractive center of higher learning and diversity. Throughout prosperity and adversity, both Tallahassee's population and complexity have continued to increase. Combining historic landmarks, such as the San Luis Archaeological Site and the Old City, and new neighborhoods, such as Frenchtown and Lafayette Park, the capital city is a unique representation of Florida, from its days as a territory to its status as one of the country's most visited states.

Download or read book The City of Tallahassee written by Harry Brown and published by Liberty Hill Publishing. This book was released on 2019-05-24 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book will impart to the readers and many Tallahassee City employees the historical practices of discrimination exercised against blacks and other minorities by the Municipal government of the City of Tallahassee, Florida. City staff ignored blatant and flagrant practice of denying blacks and other minorities the opportunities for raises and bonuses, promotions, withholding of vacancy lists from black applicants and the steering and/or channeling of black applicants to low paying jobs. Romans 12:10, "Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor." The City of Tallahassee was engaged in the practice of discriminating against blacks and other minorities long before the Civil Rights Act of 1964. In April of 1975, a group of Civil Rights Activists came together and filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for The Northern District of Florida. The case was filed against the City Commission and its members, the City Manager, and his successors in office. Therefore, an overseer must be above reproach, sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable and able to teach. 1 Timothy 4:10 says, "For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe." The City of Tallahassee engaged in the practice of hiring Administrators who would do anything asked of them to carry out the racist and bigot practices of the City of Tallahassee's Leadership. Often when blacks were hired, they were not provided the staffing or the equipment to get the job done in a professional manner. My advice to all current and future employees: stay the course and in all your ways honor and obey God's word and he shall give his angels charge over you to keep you safe from your evil doers. Hebrews 13:6 declares, "So that we may boldly say, the Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me." During my employment with the City of Tallahassee, the wrongdoers who intentionally brought many storms into my life, the Lord let me witness the consequence of their wickedness. They were shackled and handcuffed and led to court. Deuteronomy 31:8 states, "And the LORD, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee, fear not, neither be dismayed."
