THE FLORIDIAN. Vol. 1, No. 37. The thirty-seventh issue of the second newspaper published in Territorial Florida, preceded only by the Florida Gazette of St. Augustine, which began publication in July 1821. Pensacola became a permanent part of the United States under the terms of the Adams-Onìs Treaty of 1819. This issue reports news from the United States Congress, including a report from the secretary of war "devised and pursued for the Civilization of Indian Tribes, within the United States." Other articles cover a variety of subjects such as crop rotation, the mocking bird, and a letter George Washington wrote to the Emperor of Morocco concerning the captivity of mariners. There are also advertisements for local businesses, professional services, dry goods, furniture, and a bakery, as well as ads for the Pensacola Book Store and the Pensacola Reading Room. A rare early Florida imprint.
