Niles' FloridaDiscover Florida's history as it was published by one of America's premiere newspapers. Niles' Weekly Register is considered an important source for the history of the period. 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 Spanish 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. 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. |

Albert Bushnell Hart, Ph.D. (July 1, 1854–July 16, 1943) "In making up a school library it is desirable to have good sets of material on the local and State history, including the history of any colony of which the territory or the State was at any time a part. [Newspapers] The most serviceable for historical work [is] the Niles' Weekly Register." [Source: Source Book of American History] |
