It is not known exactly when this forti- fication was built, but it was sometimes after 1647. This fanciful picture of the fort and St. Augustine was likely drawn from hearsay descriptions, but Jeannette Thurber Connor says that it was “probably trustworthy as to the fort. - [It] shows a very large rickety building with two massive towers, a smaller one with a poivriere - pepper-pot-top, enough houses within the fort to make it a town in itself, and nearly as many props or buttresses as a centipede has legs.” See Connor “The Nine Old Wooden Forts of St. Augustine, Part II,” Florida Historical Quarterly, IV (April 1926), 173-74. The engraving appeared first in De Nieuwe en onbekende weereld, which was granted copyright privileges in July 1670, and was published in Amster- dam the following year. There is a copy of this work in the Library of Congress. The St. Augustine engraving is also in John Ogilby’s America: Being the latest and most accurate description of the New World . which Sabin says was pirated, along with the plates, from Montanus. The en- graving reappeared in Montanus’ Die Unbekante Neue Welt (Amsterdam, 1673). Copies of the latter two works are in the P. K. Yonge Library of Florida History, University of Florida, Gainesville. https://stars.library.ucf.edu/fhq/vol48/iss2/1 2 Society: Florida Historical Quarterly, Vol. 48, Number 2 THE FLORIDA HISTORICAL SOCIETY Volume XLVIII, Number 2 October 1969 Published by STARS, 1969 3 Florida Historical Quarterly, Vol. 48 [1969], No. 2, Art. 1 THE FLORIDA HISTORICAL QUARTERLY SAMUEL PROCTOR, Editor PETER D.

UPCHURCH * TTEMPTS AT LAND SPECULATION have been common in the AUnited States. In Florida an early attempt involved an im- mense tract of land known as the “Forbes Purchase.” This territory, situated in the north-central part of the state bordering the Gulf of Mexico, was the object of exploitation as a unit for approximately fifty-seven years, 1804-1861. First under the trading firm of Panton, Leslie and Company and its successor John Forbes and Company, and later under the Apalachicola Land Company, this practically virgin wilderness was explored, surveyed, and to a degree developed. Events leading to territorial acquisition can be traced back to the early days of the American Revolution when William Panton, Thomas Forbes, and John Leslie fled to British-con- trolled Florida because of unfavorable reaction to their Tory sympathies. 1 These men, kinsmen and partners in the firm of Panton, Leslie and Company, were formerly engaged in Indian trade, chiefly in South Carolina and Georgia. In 1776, the three partners arrived in the vicinity of St. Augustine where there was already a small outpost of Panton, Leslie and Company. From that station the company was able to rapidly expand its trade area and volume of sales so that when Spain regained the Flor- idas from Great Britain in 1783, it was on the way to becoming one of the largest trading firms in southeastern North America. 2 * Mr. Upchurch is assistant professor of geography at Appalachian State University, Boone, North Carolina. 1. Panton was the principal partner. His will, quoted in Record in the Case of Colin Mitchel and Others, Versus the United States (Wash- ington, 1831), 352, indicates that he left Georgia for Florida in 1776. It can be assumed that Forbes and Leslie arrived in Florida about the same time. Leslie later returned to London. Hereinafter referred to as the Record in the Case of Colin Mitchel and Others. 2. Spain, not wanting Americans to move into the West, but at the same time unable to provide a land force to prevent it, allowed Panton, Leslie and Company to become its controlling agent in the interior. This was done by giving the firm a monopoly on the lucrative
