The St Helena Penal Establishment was situated on a small Island in Moreton Bay, some 5 km from the mouth of the Brisbane River, covered approximately 88 hectares above the high water line and was one of the loveliest islands in the bay. The elevated tableland on which the prison was built looked like a large rugged block of ruby and emerald rising out of the sea. Its steep chocolate brown patches of rich soil,bordered with green fields of cultivation and bases of grass and shimmering sand provided a striking first picture of the island. It has had a fascinating history from the time it was first discovered; but its most important period began when it became a high-security colonial prison in 1867. The overcrowding of Brisbane's gaols resulted in the conversion of buildings originally intended for a quarantine station on St. Helena Island, into accommodations for prisoners convicted for a wide variety of crimes.

Indian artifact collecting is a hobby enjoyed by thousands of people and it goes a long way in helping to preserve artifacts from history that might never be found otherwise. It is illegal to dig for artifacts without a landowner's permission, or on state-owned and controlled lands or submerged lands. The Florida Division of Historical Resources, Bureau of Archaeological Research does have the ability to grant permission to conduct archaeological investigations: but it is seldom done except for professionals. To obtain an archaeological research permit, you or someone in your organization must have professional archaeological expertise that meets the "Qualifications for Recognition as a Professional Archaeologist' of the Register of Professional Archaeologists. In spite of all this, you can use the accompanying copies of a Florida Site File form and use it to your advantage; even if only providing a history of and improving the value of a collection.

Reproduction of the original: How to Master the English Bible by James M. Gray

This book tackles common question on The Bible and Studies made on The Bible and the Word. Written by a former President of the Moody Bible Institute. James Martin Gray (1851-1935) was a pastor in the Reformed Episcopal Church, and the President of the Moody Bible Institute (1904-1934). He wrote numerous titles on how to learn from, understand, and embrace The Bible.

""Whoever attempts it will find it far easier to write a long commentary than a brief one,"" said a famous commentator. This we believe. The Christian Workers' Commentary represents the labor of eight years in the use of such spare hours as could be found in an otherwise well-filled life, but had the plan permitted its expansion into a series of volumes instead of one, it might have been completed earlier. James Martin Gray (1851-1935) was a pastor in the Reformed Episcopal Church, and the President of the Moody Bible Institute (1904-1934).

James M. Gray (1851-1935) was an American Bible scholar, school administrator, editor, preacher, and poet. Born in New York City and reared in the Episcopalian Church, as a young man he prayed, "God be manifest to me a sinner." Known as a gracious and well-beloved Christian gentleman and scholar, Dr. Gray dedicated his entire life to communicating the Bible through speaking and writing. For 16 years he pastored the Reformed Episcopal Church in Boston. Dr. Gray championed the cause of Christ at Moody Bible Institute for 43 years as a guest lecturer, dean, president (succeeding D.L. Moody and R.A. Torrey), and editor of Moody Monthly. He authored 25 books and his expositions of the Word blessed nearly 20,000 students. Amazingly, however, Mr. Gray made this confession about his early years as a pastor: "For the first 8 or 10 years of my ministry, I did not know my English Bible as I should have known it, a fact to which my own spiritual life and the character of my pulpit ministrations bore depressing witness." How did he overcome this problem? Thanks to a providential encounter with a layman, he learned a new way to read the Bible that revolutionized his approach to Bible study. In How to Master the English Bible, Mr. Gray reveals this simple method. By reading this book, you will discover why he later proclaimed, "To think that an ordained minister must sit at the feet of a layman to learn the most important secret of his trade " Edited by bestselling author Wayne Davies of www.GodWroteTheBook.com.

Seminole Indian War Sites were manned by both military and civilians during the three Seminole Indian Wars in the early 1800's and some were later used as camp and fortification sites during the War Between the States; by both Confederate and Union soldiers and are a part of that period of history with many now protected and preserved by civilian and state authorities as well. I was with such sites that James Gray began his years of research in Florida, not only locating many unknown sites, but also documenting and recording many of them with the office of the Division of Archives and History in the State of Florida. Being recognized by Florida state officials allowed the Florida Historical Research Foundation to approach private property owners about suspected fortification sites that might lie on their land. As a result many lost sites were rediscovered, completely mapped and state authorized records filed revealing their location and existence; preserving some for future state parks.

This pictorial directory of "Confederate Generals of the War of Northern Aggression" has been made available by the William Kenyon Australasian Confederates, Camp 2160, of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, Inc; located in Australia. It is an ongoing project to compile a complete pictorial directory of all Confederate Generals who participated in that unholy war; many who have long been forgotten. It is our hope that through this project all the South's Confederate Generals will again be remembered; not just the few along with General Robert E. Lee. All deserve to be remembered for the sacrifice they made in defending the south from Lincoln's illegal war.

Fort Harllee was established and constructed at latitude 79 deg. 50 min., longitude 81 deg. 40 min., on March 18, 1835 under the direction of Major William W. Harl1ee of the South Carolina Volunteers, serving in Florida. He had visited the site the previous year and had erected picket walls with two substantial blockhouses, one on each diagonal comer. When it was built it was therefore named in his honor. He also served as its first commander. Fort Harllee was built primarily for the protection of early settlers in the area from marauding Seminoles and situated between Garey's Ferry at Middleburg and Newnansville, which would later become Alachua's first county seat. It was located on the north bank of the Santa Fe River at a point where the Black Creek to Newnansville Road crossed the river; just south of Hampton's Lake. When an alarm was given of impending Indian attack, settlers would all gather in and around the fort for protection.

This book is a copy of a transcript of a personal conversation as told verbatim by Juan Gomez to Mr. Oliver H. Parker, and written down by Mr. John D. King; who accompanied him to the home of Juan Gomez for an exclusive sit down interview before his death. During Mr. Parker's many visits with Juan, Juan described his life as a pirate and provided Mr. Parker with many drawings to locations he describes as 'treasure locations', where he personally knew certain treasures were buried by pirates with whom he served. This material has never before been made available to the general public, but was passed on by Mr. Fred de La Morton, a renowned historical researcher and friend of Mr. Oliver and Mr. Parker, to James M. Gray; Director of the Florida Historical Research Foundation, to preserve its authenticity, the material content has not been retyped or changed; only the pages were cleaned up, and left exactly as Mr. King wrote it down.
