Collection of Florida history : documents & letters, 1822-1892.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/85823319

Includes 28 manuscript and printed items "to illustrate the official life of the State [of Florida], from the courts to the post office, from the banks to a tailor's apprentice indenture" (prelim. sleeve [i] recto). Florida governors represented include William Pope Duval, James E. Broome, and Richard Keith Call. Businesses represented include the Apalachicola Land Company and the Pensacola & Georgia Rail Road Company. Also included are 17 business-related letters. Reflected in the documents are the economic transition of the state from cotton-based and slave-labor plantations to land development by Northerners and the rise of winter-grown produce. The early histories of major cities in the state -- Jacksonville, Tallahassee, and Apalachicola -- are also represented.
