An estimated 2,000 people lived in the new railroad town but half of them were Flagler employees working on the various local projects of the city's patron. The transformation of Mrs. Tuttle's fabulous square mile north of the Miami River into the early City of Miami was done rapidly and on a large scale. In the exchange of 1895 between Mrs. Tuttle for the extension of the railroad to Miami and Mr. Flagler for land for terminals, streets, dock facilities and hotels, the magnate had secured more than half of her section but the enabling device had been pledged and Mrs.

He was known by the name of Juan de Fuca, and the name was subsequently given to a portion of the waters he discovered. As far as known he made no official report of his discoveries, but he told navi­ gators, and from these men has descended to us the knowledge thereof. Richard Hakluyt, in 1600, gave some account of Fuca and his voyages and discoveries. Michael Locke, in 1625, pub­ lished the following statement in England. "I met in Venice in 1596 an old Greek mariner called Juan de Fuca, but whose real name was Apostolus Valerianus, who detailed that in 1592 he sailed in a small caravel from Mexico in the service of Spain along the coast of Mexico and California, until he came to the latitude of 47 degrees, and there finding the land trended north and northeast, and also east and south east, with a broad inlet of seas between 47 and 48 degrees of latitude, he entered therein, sailing more than twenty days, and at the entrance of said strait there is on the northwest coast thereto a great headland or island, with an exceeding high pinacle or spiral rock, like a pillar thereon." Fuca also reported find­ ing various inlets and divers islands; describes the natives as dressed in skins, and as being so hostile that he was glad to get away.

  • Dakota Resources Trader Edward T. Latta's "List of Wood Sold to Boats,"
    Copyright © 2005 by the South Dakota State Historical Society. All Rights Reserved. Dakota Resources Trader Edward T. Latta's "List of Wood Sold to Boats," WILLIAM E. LASS During 1866 and 1867, young Edward T. Latta and his partner F. W. Johnson worked on Cedar Island in the Missouri River to supply steamboats with an essential commodity—wood for fuel. As part of their business activities, Latta kept an account book that included a de- tailed record of the prices and quantities of wood purchased for each steamboat that stopped at their woodyard, located approximately twenty-five miles downstream from present-day Pierre. In 2003, Ed- ward Latta's great-grandson, Harry D. Latta of Winchester, Virginia, donated the trader's account book to the South Dakota State Historical Society. Nearly half of the forty-three-page ledger deals with the wood business Latta and Johnson conducted on Cedar Island {also known as Dorion island No. i) and neighboring Dorion Island No. 2. Espe- cially valuable to researchers is their "List of Wood Sold to Boats," a transcript of which is presented here.' An analysis of the information Latta recorded provides new insight into the nature of steamboat travel, the use of resources, and the natural environment at the time. Before the advent of railroads, steamboats based in Saint Louis, Missouri, dominated transportation in the Upper Missouri River re- For their assistance in providing information about tree identification, grovrth, and mea- surement, tlie autlior thanks W.
