1831réf. List3518New York City 1831. Two-page printed circular measuring 7 ¾ x 12 ¾ 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 1779–1863 was the director of the “American and Foreign Agency for Claims”—essentially a high-end collections agency—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 Palmer’s Agency signed by Palmer and sent to A. Lang Esq. in Selkirk Scotland. The circular advertises the sale of “a large tract of land lying on the Gulf of Mexico in East Florida” which “is owned in sole propriety by Richard S. Hackley Esq. an American citizen.” Hackley 1770–1843 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 1819—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 “a favorable site for the foundations of a great maritime city” and Chatham Bay’s “proximity to the West India markets”. At the time Florida was in the midst of the Seminole Wars; the Treaty of Payne’s Landing would soon demand that all Indigenous people in Florida leave for Indian Territory. It is not clear what came of Palmer’s attempt to sell Hackley’s land; the latter’s heirs’ 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-Onís 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 “‘There is no need for anyone to go to America’: commercial correspondence and nineteenth-century globalisation” Rothschild Archive https://www.rothschildarchive.org/materials/no_need_to_go_to_america.pdf accessed February 12 2026. unknown books

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.

1858réf. 361605Tallahassee FL: Office of the Floridian & Journal Printed by Jones & Dyke 1858. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good. With most of the legislature's time taken up with questions of infrastructure particularly the Florida railroad Governor Madision S. Perry uses his annual address to warn of coming conflict with the north and to encourage the spread of slavery. This is a nicely-bound volume of the daily legislative log and the accompanying state office reports. The session ran from November 22 1858 to January 15 1859. In his prescient call for funding a militia an action that the legislature does not appear to have discussed seriously Gov. Perry warns that "the late elections in the non-slaveholding States forebode no good to us in the South. He would be a false sentinel who under the present aspect of affairs would cry peace" pp. 27–28. He then observes that many White Floridians are ambivalent about slavery and he encourages the legislature to make changes in the law to encourage slaveholding another action the lawmakers seem to have not spent much time on. Another subject that Perry devotes time to is the forcible removal of Native Americans from Florida. After twenty years of conflict the federal government had recently declared victory and ended the war. Both the governor and the legislature make appeals in this document to continue the effort until all the Seminoles and other tribes are gone from the state. 456 journal 70 reports pages.
