of Andrew Jackson, and in view of the
fact that their next reunion is to be $
held in the only city in the South that
was named in honor of that great and
brave man, his services in freeing
Florida from the blight of Indian bar- n
barism will be of interest. 0
Jacksonville was named for Gen. k
Andrew Jackson as a compliment and n
mark of appreciation for services he a
rendered to civilization in the Semi- v
nole War. There could have been no v
progress or civilization in Florida but
for the work of Andrew Jackson. Conditons
in this territory in 1818, nearly (
a hundred years ago, demanded the 1
services of a brave and resolute man. *
Gen Jackson was selected by the gov- a
ernment as the one man above all
others to head the movement against
the Seminole Indians, who had been
terrorizing the territory for several
years and committing atrocities of the d
most brutal character. a
In March, 1818, Gen. Jackson was |
ordered to the site of the Seminole v
War. He invaded East Florida, and
in a campaign of less than six weeks a
crushed these Indians. It is related ^

c
by historians that in one village, not r,
far removed from Jacksonville, he i
found 300 scalps of men, women and j
children, many of them still fresh, g
hanging on a war pole. Gen. Jackson
knew that the Spaniards were in sympathy
with the Indians in their attacks ?
on American settlers. After cleaning
up a number of Indian villages he cap
tured the Spanish post of St. Marks.
For this act he was severely censured
by his government. However, the
naked fact is that "Old Hickory'' was
more courageous than the men who
were conducting the affairs of state J|
at Washington.
Early in May, 1818, Gen. Jackson
closed his campaign against the Seminoles
in East Florida. He had completely
broken their power and run
them out of the territory. They caused '
no more serious trouble.
During his campaign in East Florida
Gen. Jackson obtained satisfactory ev- .
idence that Spanish officers at Pensacola
were in sympathy with the Indians.
He promptly decided to march
against them and teach them a lesson.
The Spanish governor of West Florida,
learning of Gen. Jackson's purpose,
sent him a written protest against his
invasion. This protest is now on file
among the Jackson documents in
charge of the Tennessee Historical b
Society at Nashville. The protest was u
delivered to Gen. Jackson near Pensa- 1 r!
cola on May 23, but it had no effect on ?
that determined man. In reply he sent |p
a peremptory demand for the imme- ! ?

ly on Pensacola and possessed it. Two tr
days later the Barrancas garrison B
capitulated, were received as prisoners
of war and sent to Havana. it
Having thus snatched both East and {y1
West Florida from the Indians and
Spaniards, Gen. Jackson at once proceeded
to establish a provisional gov- bi
ernment under the stars and stripes, jj
Having accomplished this,1 he return- J'
ed to Tennessee, then his home. *
In 1822 a number of pioneers held *
a meeting here and decided to start J
the work of building a town. The vil- 1
Uft was then knows v lb? Cow Ford, J
name given to it by the Indians,

[corporation unfurled the banner of
icksonville in honor of Gen. Jackson,
ho had made it possible for white

When the Confederate soldiers and
leir friends meet here for the 24th
mual reunion Jacksonville will imress
them with all the force of Anrew
Jack6on. It is now a modern
rogressive city of 85,000 population,
le of the thriving business centers of
le New South. Its varied attractions
ill delight all who attend the reaion,
aid no matter how large the
owd may bo, Jacksonville will take
