The Match Of The Century, Scott Kingdon
The Match Of The Century, Scott Kingdon
Florida Historical Quarterly
Fierce competition drove the 1920s Florida land boom. There was competition between regions of the state, competition between developers, and, it turned out, competition between the two best golfers in the world.
A Movement For The Birds: Pelican Island And The Origins Of The First American Wildlife Refuge, Evan B. Jaynes
A Movement For The Birds: Pelican Island And The Origins Of The First American Wildlife Refuge, Evan B. Jaynes
Florida Historical Quarterly
"Very well then, I So Declare It." This is supposedly what President Theodore Roosevelt said early in 1903 when he was informed that there was not any law that would prevent him from making Pelican Island a federally protected wildlife reserve. Shortly thereafter, on March 14, 1903, Roosevelt issued an executive order that established Pelican Island-a small and seemingly unremarkable piece of land off Florida's Atlantic-facing coast-as the nation's first wildlife sanctuary. Proclaiming that the island be "reserved and set apart for the use of the Department of Agriculture as a preserve and breeding ground for native birds," the action …

Anton Alaminos, Juan Ponce De Leon And A 1513-1514 European Discovery Of Mexico, Sam Turner
Florida Historical Quarterly
On October 12, 1519, during the early days of the Spanish conquest of what is today Mexico, an irate Diego Velazquez, Governor of Cuba, wrote to the young Charles V of Spain from the port of Santiago de Cuba. In his letter he complained that a vessel had arrived August 23rd of that year, secretly and illegally from Mexico, with a substantial cargo of gold and jewels. The vessel carried Captain Francisco de Montejo, who would one day be the Governor of Yucatan and Honduras, and Captain Alonso Hernandez Puerto Carrero. The vessel sailed under the expert guidance of the …

An Exiled Carolina Loyalist In British East Florida And The Bahama Islands, John Hairr
An Exiled Carolina Loyalist In British East Florida And The Bahama Islands, John Hairr
Florida Historical Quarterly
Colonel David Fanning was without question the most successful commander of Loyalist forces in the Carolinas during the Revolutionary War. Fanning never lost a battle in which he commanded and gained renown for being instrumental in the capture of Whig North Carolina Governor Thomas Burke. Fanning left the Carolinas when Charles Town, South Carolina, was evacuated, settling with his wife in British East Florida until they were forced to abandon their new home along with the rest of the British refugees when the province was returned to the Spanish government in the Treaty of Paris in 1783. After trying to …
John Grattan Gamble's Mother And Sisters: Antebellum Aristrocrats And Their Flight From Successful Women, John T. Foster
John Grattan Gamble's Mother And Sisters: Antebellum Aristrocrats And Their Flight From Successful Women, John T. Foster
Florida Historical Quarterly
There were prominent women in Antebellum Richmond whose lives resemble women of today. Catherine Grattan Gamble and her daughter, Elizabeth Gamble Wirt, participated in their husbands' careers and sought places of equality with their spouses long before such behavior became common. Their lives are a dramatic departure from images of the Old South and the heritage claimed by relatives who became prominent in Middle Florida.

Good Roads And The Dixie Highway: Connecting Florida With The Rest Of The Nation, Patrick Sheridan
Good Roads And The Dixie Highway: Connecting Florida With The Rest Of The Nation, Patrick Sheridan
Florida Historical Quarterly
During the early twentieth century, the creation of new highways enabled the United States to transition from rail to automobiles as its primary mode of travel. These highways resulted from the efforts of the national "Good Roads Movement," which promoted the construction of highways to enable the use of automobiles for both business and pleasure. This article looks at the Good Roads Movement in Florida and its connection with the Dixie Highway, the first major north-south highway connecting Florida with the rest of the United States, during its peak years between 1910 and 1930. This movement led to two significant …

The young women of Miami High School gathered in the auditorium on April 4, 1919, for a vocational hour to bear "a number of Miami's most brilliant and successful women [impart] a taste of what is to be accomplished by choosing the fitting vocation and getting a right start." The Rev. Mrs. Mecca Marie Varney (1873-1959), the organizer of the event, was well known in Miami with clout to draw the adept speakers together. Hailing from Iowa, the evangelical minister was a national leader in the Women's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) and a lecturer on the Chautauqua Circuit. Earning widespread …

The Ecology Of American Noir, Katrina Younes
The Ecology Of American Noir, Katrina Younes
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
In The Ecology of American Noir, I investigate the relationship between the conventions of noir fiction and film and its sub-types in relation to environmental crises. Specifically, I address questions that not only allow us to (re)read early hardboiled literature and neo-noir films, but that also help us identify a new sub-genre of noir and develop an ecocritical methodology: I call this contemporary sub-genre and methodology “eco-noir.” I trace the development of strategies of mapping urban blight and environmental deterioration in classic hardboiled fiction of the 1940s, neo-noir films of the 1970s, and eco-noir texts of the post millennial …

Amnesia, Anamnesis, And Myth-Making In Florida: A Case Study Of Chipco, Eric Hannel
Amnesia, Anamnesis, And Myth-Making In Florida: A Case Study Of Chipco, Eric Hannel
Florida Historical Quarterly
History often finds ways of retaining information deemed "valuable," while discarding information no longer of interest or importance to its scrivener. During this process, those who recount history intentionally or unintentionally forget some details while retaining others, perhaps even embellishing them for later generations. At the nexus of this amnesia and purposeful anamnesis (the way history is remembered), rests American mythmaking. Each layer of mythmaking connects with place or geography representing forgotten as well as recollected details, a reclamation of past events and altered memories that aggrandize, justify, and construct out of messy, complex, and often brutal reality, a sanitized …
Fugitives On The Front: Maroons In The Gulf Coast Borderlands War, 1812-1823, Justin Iverson
Fugitives On The Front: Maroons In The Gulf Coast Borderlands War, 1812-1823, Justin Iverson
Florida Historical Quarterly
In September 1812, a "large body of Negroes and Indians" ambushed the provision lines of two companies of militiamen under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Thomas Adams Smith in northern East Florida. The "merciless negroes" attacked the Georgia soldiers to drive them out of East Florida and prevent further American expansion into the Spanish colony during the Patriot War of 1812 to 1814. Black and Seminole soldiers also attacked Colonel David Newnan, Adjutant General of the Georgia militia, when he came to Smith's aid. Many black warriors living in the area fought for survival since they were runaway plantation slaves …

Florida Bound: Casa Bianca Plantation's Enslaved People, Randy W. Burnett
Florida Historical Quarterly
A hundred yards down a sandy road, erected before a Spanish moss covered live oak tree, is a bronze plaque that recounts a brief story ofJoseph M. White and his political career, and emphasizes his importance in the early history of the Florida Territory as a delegate to Congress. Briefly mentioned is the reason the plaque appears at this location-"[White] became the owner of this site as part of a 3,000 acre plantation," naming his cotton and sugar cane producing estate Casa Bianca. The plantation, about three miles southwest of the town of Monticello in Jefferson County, had a "fine …

"The Women Of Florida Are Wide Awake": The National Association Of Colored Women's Clubs In Florida, 1897-1930, Cynthia Patterson
"The Women Of Florida Are Wide Awake": The National Association Of Colored Women's Clubs In Florida, 1897-1930, Cynthia Patterson
Florida Historical Quarterly
The March-April 1915 issue of the National Association Notes--the publication of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs (NACWC)--included a five-line update submitted from the Florida Association that proudly proclaimed, "The women of Florida are all wide awake." The note explained that the Daytona and Jacksonville clubs had been blessed recently by a visit from the national President of the NACW: Margaret Murray Washington, wife of Tuskegee Institute President, Booker T. Washington. Clearly, Washington's visit energized the Florida federated clubs. Although the NACW had been in existence since the merger in 1896 of two earlier groups-the Colored Women's League and …
The Happiest Place On Earth?: South Africa, Divestment, And Anti-Aparteid Movements In Orlando, Florida In The 1980s, Jacob Ivey
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the mid-1980s, a series of protests erupted across the state of Florida attempting to address the issue of United States support for the apartheid regime in South Africa. In May 1986, Thandi Luthuli-Gcabashe, the daughter of the late African National Congress president Albert Luthuli and coordinator of the South Africa Peace Education Program, was the key speaker for a public hearing in the city of Orlando, Florida. Luthuli-Gcabashe spoke against U.S. support for apartheid and called for the full divestment of Orlando's pension fund as part of the prolonged campaign by anti-apartheid protestors beginning in 1985. It was just …
