The Case Of Tom Tiger's Horse: An Early Foray Into Indian Rights, Harry A. Kersey, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
At a time in our national history when the American Indian’s claim to social and political justice is being vigorously pursued, and dramatically portrayed through mass media coverage of incidents such as the occupation of Alcatraz, disruption at the Bureau of Indian Affairs in Washington, and a “Second Wounded Knee,” it might be well to consider in calmer retrospective one of those little known efforts to secure Indian rights which occurred in Florida at the turn of the century. The participants included an aggrieved Seminole headman of the Cow Creek band and his white friends who displayed an unusual zeal …

Newnansville: A Lost Florida Settlement, Susan Yelton
Florida Historical Quarterly
Created by an act of the Territorial Legislative Council on December 29, 1824, Alachua County comprised most of the territory known as “inland Florida,” extending almost from the Georgia line to Charlotte Harbor. The development of this land had a long and colorful history. In the annals of Florida history one finds the name Newnansville identified as the county seat of Alachua County, a fort site during the Second Seminole War; and as a prosperous nineteenth-century settlement in one of the richest land belts in north-central Florida. This little town, located south of the Santa Fe River, helped pave the …

Vicente Pazos And The Amelia Island Affair, 1817, Charles H. Bowman, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
On May 9, 1817, seven distinguished patriots from Buenos Aires arrived at Savannah on board the English cutter Hero. The number included Vicente Pazos, editor of La Crónica Argentina. Their departure from the Río de la Plata had helped rid Supreme Director Juan Martín de Pueyrredón of his most virulent detractors. Born in the province of Larecaja in Upper Peru in 1779, Pazos was descended from the Aymará Indians who resided around Lake Titicaca. After attending the Royal and Pontifical University of San Antonio de Abad in Cuzco where he received his doctorate in sacred theology in 1804, Pazos taught …

Cherokees And The Second Seminole War, Gary E. Moulton
Florida Historical Quarterly
The Second Seminole War had its origins in removal agreements concluded between the Florida tribe and the United States government in 1832 and 1833. What had been accepted by a few Indian chiefs had not won the approval of the majority of the Seminoles who wanted to remain in their native lands. Attempts at forced emigration simply broadened scattered hostilities to become a major war by late 1835. The war was a tragic conflict that cost nearly $40,000,000 and countless lives of soldiers, civilians, and Indians. The administration of President Martin Van Buren was eager to find a way out …

Race, Politics And Education: The Sheats-Holloway Election Controversy, 1903-1904, Arthur O. White
Florida Historical Quarterly
William N. Sheats, elected three times as Florida state school superintendent, brought Florida national recognition by his progressive school policies. During his socalled “crusade against ignorance” he had written the educational provisions of the state constitution of 1885, organized the dual school system, and had helped to upgrade the professional status of teachers. His negotiations with the state legislature had resulted in a $188,000 appropriation for public schools from Florida’s Indian War claim settlement with the federal government and a $50,000 state appropriation for high school development. Still, Sheats had made many political enemies in Florida over the years, and …

Florida Seminoles: 1900-1920, James W. Covington
Florida Historical Quarterly
The Florida Seminoles at the beginning of the twentieth century enjoyed a relatively good life. The more than 500 Indians were able to roam freely throughout a 20,000 square mile area situated in the lower part of the peninsula and lying mostly between the settled portions of the east and west coasts of Florida. Since the total population in this wilderness area including Indians, squatters, hunters, and trappers did not number more than 600 persons, there was room for all concerned. The Seminoles supported themselves by otter, plume, and alligator hunting, and they traded these feathers, hides, and skins for …

Greens, Grist And Guernseys: Development Of The Florida State Agricultural Marketing System, Martin M. Lagodna
Florida Historical Quarterly
The Federal Governments role in aiding farmers is well known; the states’s relationship to agriculture has not been very well chronicled. Florida, for example, was slow in responding to federal stimuli in the early twentieth century, but once underway the state developed innovative programs to help farmers with their economic problems. Agriculture specialists believed that distribution of goods rather than production was the major problem. In the American capitalist system the markets functioned as the distributive agencies. The economists focused their attention on agricultural marketing and importuned government to assist with this endeavor.

Foreigners In Florida: A Study Of Immigration Promotion, 1865-1910, George E. Pozzetta
Florida Historical Quarterly
For most of the long American period, Floridians have been deeply concerned with the problem of attracting people to the borders of their state. Though the motivations behind the various efforts to induce migration into the state have changed, ranging from early desires simply to populate uninhabited lands to more modern concerns of tourism and development, the spirit has been remarkably consistent. Indeed, it has only been within the last few years that the “heresy” of imposing legal limits on population growth has been listened to with any degree of toleration. In no other period of Florida’s past, however, have …

When A Minority Becomes The Majority: Blacks In Jacksonville Politics, 1887-1907, Edward N. Akin
Florida Historical Quarterly
With the end of Reconstruction in 1876, the national Republican party abandoned the blacks of the South to state governments controlled by native southern whites. This traditional textbook interpretation of the plight of blacks in the Bourbon South rested on two implicit assumptions: the black was dependent on national Republicanism for protection; and, with the end of this protective system, blacks ceased to be a viable independent political element.1 When blacks did vote during the Bourbon era, they were pictured as sheep being led by conservative whites. An example of this voting behavior in an urban setting is recounted in …

Leon was the largest and richest county in Florida at the outbreak of the Civil War. Its population numbered 12,343, and its property was assessed at $8,843,095 in 1860. It led the state in agriculture; its farms were valued at $2,482,211, and during the crop year 1859 they produced 16,686 bales of cotton, 421,654 bushels of corn, and 136,038 bushels of sweet potatoes. It ranked third in manufacturing. Twenty-six establishments in 1859 employed 239 male and seven female workers and produced products worth $261,200. The county, like the rest of Florida and the South, suffered grievous economic losses during the …

Florida's Disrupted Mail Service, 1821-1845, Richard J. Stanaback
Florida Historical Quarterly
When Florida became an American territory in 1821, almost no means of communication existed between its settlements or with other parts of the country. If a viable government and a prosperous economy were to be instituted, effective links of correspondence would have to be developed. To accomplish these ends, the post office department in succeeding years authorized many post roads and post offices. By 1845, there were approximately fifty post offices, and 2,920 miles of post roads in Florida.
