The Open-Closed Shop Battle In Tampa's Cigar Industry, 1919-1921, Durward Long
Florida Historical Quarterly
Labor problems in Tampa’s cigar industry began almost simultaneously with the beginning of the enterprise in 1885. Although the industry enjoyed phenomenal growth during its first fifteen years it suffered an expensive strike in 1901 when La Resistencia, the labor society of the Spanish-speaking workmen, demanded a union shop. La Resistencia lost the strike because of a lack of strike funds and because the Tampa Cigar Manufacturers’ Association and a group of businessmen calling themselves the Citizens Committee combined to fight the society. Following La Resistencia’s defeat local unions of the Cigar Makers’ International Union became the dominant labor group …

Postscript To John Bemrose's Reminiscences, John K. Mahon
Florida Historical Quarterly
Since John Bemrose's Reminiscences of the Second Seminole War was published, additional information about the author has been found. Inconsequential though the new data is, perhaps some of the fun of uncovering it can be communicated to the reader. From the date of publication it has troubled me that I did not know what became of Bemrose after he had returned to his native England. The opportunity to fill in the unknown factors came during the summer of 1967, when I was in Britain.

Fort Pierce American Gold Find, Carl J. Clausen
Florida Historical Quarterly
"The probability is that the treasure will never be recovered," states the Charleston Daily Courier, reporting in 1857 the accidental loss of a sizeable United States army payroll in a Florida east coast inlet. The Third Seminole War, which officially started with the not entirely unprovoked attack by the Indians on a government survey party near Fort Myers in late December 1855, was in its seventeenth month when Major Jeremiah Yellot Dashiell of the army paymaster corps arrived off the Indian River Inlet on the east coast of Florida on May 1, 1857. Entrusted to Dashiell was a leather pouch …

Contract Labor In Florida During Reconstruction, Edward K. Eckert
Florida Historical Quarterly
Until relatively recent times the historiography of the Reconstruction period in Florida could be summed up by Claude G. Bowers’ three-word paragraph, “Florida was putrid.” Legislatures full of swindlers, “railroad steals,” “shabby strangers,” and “old black mammies,” praising God and voting Republican, were all a part of the traditional image of this so-called dark era of United States history. Revisionist historians such as Howard K. Beale, David Donald, Kenneth Stampp, and Rembert W. Patrick have challenged this view. They describe the years after the Civil War as a progressive age for the South when civil, educational, and economic reforms brought …

Fighting Men View The Western War, 1862-1864, George C. Bittle
Florida Historical Quarterly
The Florida units fighting the Confederate cause in the West made no major contribution to the overall war effort, yet many Florida officers and men did yeomen service in the South’s Army of Tennessee. The experiences of these soldiers certainly reflect those of many other Confederate fighting men in the same army. In this sense, the trials and tribulations of these Floridians may be used to illustrate the changing conditions among at least one segment of the southern troops on a very important front of the Civil War.

A View Of Celi's Journal Of Surveys And Chart Of 1757, John D. Ware
Florida Historical Quarterly
The San Francisco de Asis was a xebec, one of a class of relatively small three-masted sailing vessels used around the Spanish and Portuguese coasts. Her fore and mizzenmasts were lateen rigged, and her mainmast was square rigged, having three sails - main, lower main, and upper mainsails. This type was frequently outfitted with oars for use in calm water, but there is no indication that this vessel was so equipped.

Celi's Expedition To Tampa Bay: A Historical Analysis, Charles W. Arnade
Florida Historical Quarterly
"De la Havana al Puerto de Tampa, Año de 1757, Diario de Reconocimientos, Oceano Atlantico Septentrional" by Don Francisco Maria Celi is unquestionably a key document in Florida history and the history of Tampa Bay. The chronology of its recent discovery is not too complicated. Celi, “Pilot of the Royal Spanish Navy” and commander of the Florida expedition, carefully prepared a useful and artistically beautiful map that went with his report. This map (actually there were two versions) was known to modern historians, but the accompanying report was not. The late Clarence Simpson had knowledge of the Celi map, as …

Recommended Reading: Book List Books And Middlebrow Tastemaking, Cheryl Read
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The term “middlebrow” has historically been hurled as a pejorative to signify cultural objects and consumers of them which are watered down, inauthentic, and invested in quick social gain. I argue that the literary middlebrow can be better understood if its definition expands to include a mode of reading characterized by being mediated by cultural arbiters and purposeful in that literature functions as an instrument for self-improvement. In this dissertation, I use book list books, lists of recommended reading published as standalone books themselves, to trace the history of a middlebrow mode of reading from the late nineteenth century to …

The Esoteric Quality Of Montaigne’S Essays: The Essay As A Philosophic Response To Extreme Forms Of Skepticism, Victoria Russo
Honors Program Theses and Projects
According to Judith Shklar (1990, 611) not only is Montaigne Emerson’s hero, but Emerson is the American thinker in whom one finds the greatest understanding and appreciation of Montaigne’s Essays (see also Shklar 1989). The kinship between Montaigne and Emerson extends beyond the latter’s appreciation of the former. Both essayists address the topics of skepticism and the relationship between skepticism and how one ought to live. In doing so, both Emerson and Montaigne speak to the philosophical importance of literature and how one should understand the relationship between literature and philosophy.

Constructing The Panama Canal: A Brief History, Ian E. Phillips
The Downtown Review
Seeking to commemorate the construction of the Panama Canal, an engineering marvel widely considered a contender for the eighth wonder of the world, this article attempts to retell the story of the Canal's construction by synthesizing a narrative centered on the Canal under French and American leadership, worker segregation, and labor conditions at the Isthmus.
