Oblong octavo 32pp. Publisher's maroon wrappers title printed in gold on cover bound at spine with staples. Sunning to covers staples beginning to rust. A scarce pamphlet showing the local infrastructure farming operations municipal buildings and churches all in half tone illustrations. Illustrations likely by Clarence E. Howard who worked as a photographer and newspaper editor. A reference to the first Automobile Carnival dates this pamphlet prior to 1912. OCLC 882242309 A scarce work. 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

1890rif. 3620Gainesville 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 books

Paris, Didot, 1768, 21 x 31,5 cm, contornos coloreados de época, reverso en blanco. (Este raro mapa fue grabado para la "Descripción de Débouquements Qui Sont au Nord de l'île de Saint Domingue", 1768, una pequeña guía de navegación con 152 páginas y 34 cartas náuticas del Norte del Mar Caribe. Como se indica en la cartela, está claramente influenciado por los recientes esfuerzos cartográficos británicos de su nueva posesión [en el primer tratado de París de 1763, al concluir la guerra de los franceses e indios, Inglaterra recibió Florida de España a cambio de la retrocesión de La Habana y El norte de Cuba para los españoles]. En particular, el mapa de John Gibson para la revista Caballeros de 1763, famoso por su descripción de la península de Florida como un archipiélago, parece haber sido una fuente importante para este trabajo. Excepcionalmente, el norte está en el lado derecho del mapa]).

1947rif. 3905Palatka Fl 1947. Very good. 5pp. typed on folio sheets stapled. Old folds minor wear and creasing light dust-soiling. An unsigned petition from the Hallie Q. Brown Club asking "The Honourable City Commission of the City of Palatka Florida.to recognise its status as the 'Hattie Q Brown Club which the Commission gave leave to use certain City property in Block 81.in furtherance of the welfare of colored children." Apparently a splinter group of the club was also claiming to be the Hallie Q. Brown Club and was illegally collecting rents on the groups club house. In asking for official recognition the group details their history of helping African-American youth in the area "by equiping and over-seeing a playground for them." The authors then detail the internal conflicts which occurred amongst the club members the procession of club leadership including several named individuals and the circumstances which led to the club's incorporation ending with the filing of a charter with a Putnam County judge. The fourth section of the club's petition enumerates their activities and plans in "furtherance of the welfare of the colored children of Palatka." The first two points detail the land clearance and construction of the park and their further plans for same; the third point relates to a study the club has undertaken "of the problem of juvenile delinquency among the colored children." Part of their plan is to work with law enforcement "to work out a parole system for first offenders of tender age" as well as "provide a method and place for the incarceration of colored children accused of or guilty of infractions of the law who are less than 12 years of age so that such children may be kept safely in custody and yet not exposed to the bad example and toughening influence of imprisonment in the County jail." Hattie Quinn Brown was a pioneering African-American educator who actively sought the formation of African-American women's clubs throughout the country. unknown
