Purchased by the Library Company, 1880. 4 n July 1, 1731, Benjamin Franklin and a number of his fellow members of the Junto drew up “Articles of Agreement” to Ofound a library. The Junto was a discussion group of young men seeking social, economic, intellectual, and political advancement. When they foundered on a point of fact, they needed a printed authority to set- tle the divergence of opinion. In colonial Pennsylvania at the time there were not many books. Standard English reference works were expensive and difficult to obtain. Franklin and his friends were mostly mechanics of moderate means. None alone could have afforded a representative li- brary, nor, indeed, many imported books. By pooling their resources in pragmatic Franklinian fashion, they could. The contribution of each cre- ated the book capital of all. Fifty subscribers invested forty shillings each and promised to pay ten shillings a year thereafter to buy books and maintain a shareholder’s library.

    Rangelands 7(5), October 1985 205 History of the Florida Cattle Industry Lewis L. Yariett The Spanish conquistadors were Florida's first cowmen. Ponce de Leon brought a small number of Andalusia cattle on his second voyage which landed near Ft. Myers in 1521. The expedition failed to establish a colony after numerous conflictswith Indians.The few cattlewere abandonedas the remnants of the expedition fled hastily from Florida. These cattleeither were killedby thenatives, died of diseases,or as some suspect, may have been theforerunners ofthe Florida "scrub"or "cracker" cattle, but this is highly improbable. Other attempts at colonization soon followed, by DeSoto and DeLunawho reportedly broughtcattle, and theseefforts likewise failed. It was prophesied by Sir John Hawkins in 1565that Florida would somedaybecome a great cattlerais- ing region, basedon hisearl ierexperiences in the Caribbean area. Judging from these and earlier accounts, it could be that Florida hashad cattlelonger than anyof the other states. The period1655 to 1702was adramatic era ofcattle ranch- ing in Florida.

    PROJECT SUMMARY “Pioneer Days in Florida

    PROJECT SUMMARY “Pioneer Days in Florida: Diaries and Letters from Settling the Sunshine State, 1800-1900” The George A. Smathers Libraries, University of Florida, propose a two-year project titled “Pioneer Days in Florida” that will digitize 36,530 pages of diaries and letters describing frontier life in Florida from the end of the colonial period to the beginnings of the modern state. These first-hand accounts, comprising some of the rarest and most fragile materials in the UF Special Collections, document the experiences and conflicts of native peoples, settlers, soldiers, and travelers during the turbulent 1800s. The project will digitize all 19th century materials from the Florida Miscellaneous Manuscripts Collection (14 collections of family papers, 134 volumes of diaries and memoirs representing 40 different writers, and 240 folders of additional letters, reports, and sketches). Materials date between 1784 and 1912 (bulk 1800-1900) and were selected to encompass the earliest set of family papers (1784-1909), the earliest woman’s diary (1811-1812) and the latest run of diaries from the end of the 19th century (1877-1912).

    William Selby Harney: Indian Fighter by OLIVER GRISWOLD We Are Going to Travel-In Our Imaginations-A South Florida Route with a Vivid Personality

    William Selby Harney: Indian Fighter By OLIVER GRISWOLD We are going to travel-in our imaginations-a South Florida route with a vivid personality. We are going back-in our imaginations-over a bloody trail. We are going on a dramatic military assignment. From Cape Florida on Key Biscayne, we start on the morning of De- cember 4, 1840. We cross the sparkling waters of Biscayne Bay to within a stone's throw of this McAllister Hotel where we are meeting. We are going up the Miami River in the days when there was no City of Miami. All our imaginations have to do is remove all the hotels from the north bank of the Miami River just above the Brickell Avenue bridge- then in the clearing rebuild a little military post that stood there more than a hundred years ago. At this tiny cluster of stone buildings called Ft. Dallas, our expedition pauses for farewells. We are going on up to the headwaters of the Miami River-and beyond-where no white man has ever been before. The first rays of the sun shed a ruddy light on a party of 90 picked U.S. soldiers. They are in long dugout canoes. The sunrise shines with particular emphasis on the fiery-red hair of a tall officer. It is as if the gleaming wand of destiny has reached down from the Florida skies this morning to put a special blessing on his perilous mission. He commands the flotilla to shove off. But before we join him on his quest for a certain villainous redskin, let us consider who this officer is.
