Founding of Cedar Key

I don't see a source for the statement, "Founded in 1842 as a resort for wealthy planters". John K. Mahon, in his History of the Second Seminole War: 1835-1842, states that the Army established a hospital at Cedar Key in about 1840 (he doesn't give an exact date, but the mention is in the context of events in 1840), and states that the headquarters of the Army of the South (the U.S. Army command in Florida) was in Cedar Key in 1842. He also mentions a "destructive" hurricane striking Cedar Key on October 4-5, 1842 (Seminole leaders who had been going to Cedar Key to negotiate with the Army refused to return there after the hurricane). I want to look for sources with more detail, but it looks like Cedar Key was an Army post prior to 1842. -- Donald Albury 15:18, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've found Cedar Key, Florida: an Illustrated History.[1] There is often a lack of agreement between what I see in the published books I have access to, and what I see on various Web sites. I do think the books are more reliable (established authors, vetted by publishers, bibliographies) than the Web sites. Where the books contradict what is in the article, particularly when I can't identify the source of the existing material, I'm replacing it. -- Donald Albury 13:40, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright problem removed

One or more portions of this article duplicated other source(s). The material was copied from: [2] and [3] Infringing material has been rewritten or removed and must not be restored, unless it is duly released under a license compatible with GFDL.

For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted.

Accordingly, the material may be rewritten, but only if it does not infringe on the copyright of the original or plagiarize from that source.

Further concerns

On further investigation, I find more extensive duplication from http://www.bansemer.com/florida_lighthouses/cedar_key_lighthouse.htm. Archives confirm that this material predates its placement on Wikipedia: see this and this. While some sections have been revised through natural article evolution, stretches of literal duplication remain. See for example, the paragraph beginning "After the wear, Henry Plant...." See also such remnants from that source as "The factories were never rebuilt and twenty-five hundred jobs were lost." Note that whole sentences are copied from that source. This material needs to be extensively revised, and I'm blanking it to give regular contributors of this article a chance to address it in temporary space or to acquire copyright permission. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 20:01, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Post No. 4

The main article refers to "Fort No. 4" as being on Depot Key. There may have been a fort on Depot Key, but contemporaneous documents (original BLM survey of T15S R13E, approved 8 December 1851) depict Post No. 4 as being in sect 16 T15S R13E, on the edge of the mainland, with a clear view across the water. Post No. 4 was connected by land trails/roads to Clay Landing and Fort Fanning. Comparing the BLM map to satellite maps, USGS topo maps and Property Appraiser's aerial mapping, suggest that the actual location of Post No. 4 is likely at 29 10 21 N by 82 01 03 W, on land currently owned by SRWMD.Cosmicray (talk) 15:56, 7 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
