Discover Florida's history as it was published by one of America's premiere newspapers. The Niles' Weekly Register is considered an important source for the history of 19th century America. Indeed, Dr. Albert Bushnell Hart (1854-1943), professor of History at Harvard University, proclaimed the Niles' Weekly Register as one of the best sources of state and local historical information. With more than one million descriptive words published on Florida, Niles provides a very comprehensive analysis of the dramatic and, often times, violent history of Florida, beginning with the role it played in the War of 1812, moving through an indepth view of the Seminole Indian wars, and culminating with the admission of Florida into the American Union. Niles' Florida contains numerous anecdotes and narratives on events that played a key role in the transition of a wild territory, as described by Andrew Jackson, to become 27th state in our American Union. Detailed information is available on the activities of the Seminole Indians, Africans, British, Spanish, and Americans. Living the experiences of Florida's birth through the eyes of the people who were there, is the best history lesson you will ever get.
