Florida Sentinel

The Florida Sentinel was a newspaper established in Quincy, Florida and then relocated to Tallahassee, Florida where it was published from 1841 until 1865.[1][2] Joshua Knowles founded the paper and Joseph Clisby became the paper's editor in Tallahassee.[3] The newspaper office printed a journal of the Senate during its first session[4] and reports on the Florida Supreme Court.[5] The House also contracted with him to publish their proceedings.[6] February 19, 1870, the paper covered an attack by alligators on circus animals being led through the Great Dismal Swamp.[7] In 1851, the office printed the minutes of the West Florida Baptist Association annual session held October 26 to October 29 1850 at the Union Academy Church in Jackson County.[8]
