Excerpt from Report of the Commissioner of the General Land Office, Communicating an Abstract of Permits Granted Under the Acts for the Armed Occupation of Florida: April 28, 1848 Gentlemen: Annexed is a copy of the act of Congress, approved on the 4th instant, entitled "An act to provide for the armed occupation and settlement of the unsettled part of the peninsula of East Florida." "Any person being the head of a family, or single man over eighteen years of age, able to bear arms, who has made, or shall, within one year from and after the passage of this act, make an actual settlement within that part of Florida situate and being south of the line dividing townships numbers nine and ten, south, and east of the base [meridian] line, shall be entitled to one quarter section of land," on the conditions prescribed by the law, and which conditions are numbered in the act, first, second, third, and fourth. The first condition is, "that said settler shall obtain, from the register of, the land office in the district in which he proposes to settle, a permit, describing, as particularly as may be practicable, the place where his or her settlement is intended to be made: Provided, that no person who shall be a resident of Florida at the time of the passage of this act, who shall be the owner of one hundred and sixty acres of land at the time he proposes to settle, shall be entitled to a permit from the register." As our immediate action in the execution of this law is confined to the foregoing provisions contained in its first section, the present directions are restricted to the provisions of that section alone, leaving the other portions of the act, which are of prospective effect, (requiring certain future acts and proceedings on the part of the settler, ) to be subjects of future instructions.

The mythmakers of US expansion have expressed “manifest destiny” in many different ways—and so have its many discontents. A multidisciplinary study that delves into these contrasts and contradictions, Inventing Destiny offers a broad yet penetrating cultural history of nineteenth-century US territorial acquisition—a history that gives voice to the underrepresented actors who significantly complicated US narratives of empire, from Native Americans and Anglo-American women to anti- and non-national expansionists. The contributors—established and emerging scholars from history, American studies, literary studies, art history, and religious studies—make use of source materials and techniques as various as artwork, religion, geospatial analysis, interior colonialism, and storytelling alongside fresh readings of traditional historical texts. In doing so, they seek to illuminate the complexities rather than simplify, to transgress borders rather than redraw them, and to amplify the under-told stories rather than repeat the old ones. Their work identifies and explores the obscure—or obscured—fictions of expansion, seeking a deeper understanding of the mechanisms of culture creation and recognizing those who resisted US territorial aggrandizement. In sum, Inventing Destiny demonstrates the value of cross-disciplinary approaches to the study of the multiple rationales, critiques, interventions, and contingencies of nineteenth-century US expansion.
