  • Florida Historical Uarterly
    The Florida Historical uarterly APRIL 1970 PUBLISHED BY THE FLORIDA HISTORICAL SOCIETY FRONT COVER “A View of Pensacola in West Florida” is a black and white engraving published and dedicated by George Gauld to Sir William Burnaby, rear admiral and commander of the British fleet at Jamaica. From the British ensigns on the vessels and the flag flying from the flagstaff, this is obviously a picture of Pensacola during the British period. Since Gauld’s name is not mentioned in any reference sources as an engraver, and since such a skill is not mentioned in his book, it is unlikely that he was the engraver of this picture, but he probably drew the sketch of the scene from which it was made. The engraving is in the Prints and Photographs Division, Library of Congress. Gauld, surveyor of the coasts of Florida, was born in 1732 at Ardbrack, Bamffshire, and he was educated at King’s College, Aberdeen. In 1763 he was appointed to make a survey of all newly acquired English territory in the West Indies, and in March of the following year he sailed aboard the Tartar for Jamaica to join Burnaby’s fleet. In August 1764 he accompanied Sir John Lindsay to Pensacola and he may have made a sketch of the harbor at that time. He was a friend of Philip Pittman, author of The Present State of the European Settlements on the Mississippi . (1770), and Thomas Hutchins whose An Historical Narrative and Topogaphical Description of Louisiana, and West-Florida was published in 1784. They helped him draft charts and plans of West Florida.

  • Eisteddfod Handout Prepared for Ninth Welsh Weekend for Everyone by Marilyn Schrader
    Eisteddfod handout prepared for Ninth Welsh Weekend for Everyone by Marilyn Schrader An eisteddfod is a Welsh festival of literature, music and performance. The tradition of such a meeting of Welsh artists dates back to at least the 12th century, when a festival of poetry and music was held by Rhys ap Gruffydd of Deheubarth at his court in Cardigan in 1176 but, with the decline of the bardic tradition, it fell into abeyance. The present-day format owes much to an eighteenth-century revival arising out of a number of informal eisteddfodau. The date of the first eisteddfod is a matter of much debate among scholars, but boards for the judging of poetry definitely existed in Wales from at least as early as the twelfth century, and it is likely that the ancient Celtic bards had formalized ways of judging poetry as well. The first eisteddfod can be traced back to 1176, under the auspices of Lord Rhys, at his castle in Cardigan. There he held a grand gathering to which were invited poets and musicians from all over the country. A chair at the Lord's table was awarded to the best poet and musician, a tradition that prevails in the modern day National Eisteddfod. The earliest large-scale eisteddfod that can be proven beyond all doubt to have taken place, however, was the Carmarthen Eisteddfod, which took place in 1451. The next recorded large-scale eisteddfod was held in Caerwys in 1568. The prizes awarded were a miniature silver chair to the successful poet, a little silver crwth to the winning fiddler, a silver tongue to the best singer, and a tiny silver harp to the best harpist.

  • The Welsh Caves
    The Welsh Caves These caves located in the vicinity of the DeSoto Falls area of DeSoto State Park may have been built by the Welsh before DeSoto’s famous explorations. The mysterious caves, located in a cliff approximately 325 feet above Little River, are also thought to have been used by Indians of the area hundreds of years ago. There are five caves located side by side with three of them interlocking by openings connecting each chamber. They are protected by the cliff in which they are carved and by the only trail to them. The trail is 90 feet long and is so narrow that only one person can pass at a time. The trail averages in width two to five feet, and in some places is precarious and slippery. The cave was once protected by two stone walls located in a semi-circle in the area surrounding them. The walls are believed to have been four or five feet high at one time. They were stuck together with a material, which Indians never used. All that’s left of the walls are mounds with occasional rises with jutted rocks. According to former Park Manager Doyal Benefield, the walls were built up fairly well at one time. He said the stones of the walls were carried off by people of the area for use as stepping-stones or to build chimneys Historians say that Indians could not have built the caves due to the fact that none of the tribes of this area were familiar with the art of excavation.

  • The Welsh Discovery of America
    May - Jun 2020 Issue 94 WelshThe Welsh DiscoveryConnections of America The Welsh Discovery of Americaby David Salter t is not generally known that America was originally discovered by the Welsh nearly nine hundred years Iago. There are many recorded facts which add support to this revelation, some are fairly sketchy whilst there are several pointers from the past which suggest that there is indeed a probability of truth in this submission. Let us examine some of the information we have to hand. Firstly, Welsh records indicate that Prince Madoc, also spelt Madog, sailed to America in or around 1150 A.D. It is claimed that Madoc’s father, Owain Gwynedd, was a real king during the 12th century and is widely considered one of the greatest Welsh rulers of the Middle Ages. His reign was strained with many battles, both with other, would be, Welsh potentates and with the English monarch of the day, Henry 11. Although there was no overall victor in the bloody battles, Owain was eventually forced to come to terms with Henry. Both before and then upon Owains death, and exact dates vary much upon the issue, many bloody disputes had also broken out amongst his heirs, of which he had at least thirteen or more by most accounts, Madoc being one and possibly one of the least favoured. WELSH CONNECTIONS It is believed that Madoc, although brave and adventurous, was a man of peace who became dissatisfied with the struggles. It is said that he sailed from the North Wales coast along with one of his brothers and one hundred other folk in They claimed ancestry with the two ships, landing in what is now Alabama.

  • The Welsh, the Vikings, and the Lost Tribes of Israel on the Northern Plains: the Legend of the White Mandan
    Copyright © 1988 by the South Dakota State Historical Society. All Rights Reserved. The Welsh, the Vikings, and the Lost Tribes of Israel on the Northern Plains: The Legend of the White Mandan JAMES D. MCLAIRD From the earliest European discoveries, rumors of "white Indi- ans" have circulated in America. Always to the west of settled areas, there were supposed to be people who possessed advanced customs and technology, unlike the "uncivilized savages" the frontiersmen had already met and fought. Sometimes these claims were buttressed by "eyewitness accounts" of meetings with bearded, light-skinned Indians, some of whom possessed Bibles.' While such curious tales plainly fascinated settlers, politi- cal significance was often attached to them as well. John Dee and 1. Bernard De Voto, The Course of Empire (Boston: Houghton Mifflin Co., 1952), pp. 68-73, 470-71, contains a good discussion of rumors and "evidence" of reported "white Indians" assumed to he descendants of "Prince Madoc of Wales," who sup- posedly came to America in A.D. 1170. A detailed listing of meetings between fron- tiersmen and "white Indians" is included in Zella Armstrong's uncritical account of the Madoc theory entitled Who Discovered America?: The Amazing Story of Madoc (Chattanooga, Tenn.: Lookout Publishing Co., 1950). She mentions remnants of an old tattered book among the Indians (p. 122). Another account of the Madoc legend by an advocate of the theory is Richard Deacon's Madoc and the Discovery of America: Some New Light on an Old Controversy (New York: George Braziller, 1966), pp. 108-23, 151-63.

  • A Scottish View of West Florida in 1769
    A Scottish View of West Florida in 1769 By CHARLES A. GAULD A scholarly Scot wrote but never succeeded in publishing a 30-page "General Description of the Sea Coasts, Harbours, Lakes, Rivers etc. of the Province of West Florida, 1769." He was George Gauld, born in Scotland in 1732. He received an honorary M.A. from Aberdeen, one of the four democratic Scottish universities. As a chart-maker for the British Admiralty, his death in 1782 may have occurred in London or at sea. Gauld's charts for navigation between East Florida and the British West Indies were posthumously pub- lished by the Admiralty. That of the Tortugas and Florida Keys or Martyrs appeared only in 1815. Gauld's two pamphlets were issued in London by William Faden in 1790 and 1796. The second, of 28 pages, was entitled "Observations on the Florida Kays, Reef & Gulf with Directions for Sailing along the Kays from Jamaica by the Grand Cayman & the West End of Cuba; also a Description, with Sailing Instructions, of the Coast of West Florida between the Bay of Espiritu Santo & Cape Sable." There was added, "by George Gaud, to accompany his Charts of those Coasts, surveyed and published by order of the Rt. Hon. the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, to which have been added a descrip- tion of the East Coast of Florida between Cape Florida & Cape Canaveral (and) within the Florida Reef." The 1796 pamphlet was consulted by Dr. Wallace McMullen in his English Topographical Terms in Florida, 1563-1874 (University of Florida Press, 1953, 227 pp.) Gauld's 1769 manuscript is useful both for some topo- graphical terms and for place names of the Britsh era in West Florida.
