Some Early Railroads In Alachua County, Caroline Watkins Nov 2021

Some Early Railroads In Alachua County, Caroline Watkins

Florida Historical Quarterly

Earliest transportation in Florida was usually by water routes— north and south— since few rivers offered east-west communication. The inland, unsettled country was covered by pine and oak forests and a thick growth of palmettos, vines, and scrub. Canals to connect the Atlantic and the Gulf had been proposed as early as the first Spanish period, and routes were surveyed in the 1820s. When it became evident that tidewater canals would be difficult to construct and locks expensive, attention was diverted to roads and railroads.

Reminiscences Of A Lector: Cuban Cigar Workers In Tampa, Louis A. Perez, Jr. Nov 2021

Reminiscences Of A Lector: Cuban Cigar Workers In Tampa, Louis A. Perez, Jr.

Florida Historical Quarterly

In the latter half of the nineteenth century, increased tobacco imports revived the historico-economic nexus between Cuba and Florida. In Key West, Tampa, Ocala, and Jacksonville cigar factories opened to process Havana tobacco. Thousands of Cubans arrived in Florida to work and most of them established themselves permanently.


Vicente Pazos, Agent For The Amelia Island Filibusters, 1818, Charles H. Bowman, Jr. Nov 2021

Vicente Pazos, Agent For The Amelia Island Filibusters, 1818, Charles H. Bowman, Jr.

Florida Historical Quarterly

The appearance of a North American squadron under John D. Henley and a land force under James Bankhead at the mouth of the St. Marys River on December 18, 1817, with orders to move against Luis Aury and his establishment on Amelia Island, compelled the filibusters to abandon posthaste their illfated Republic of the Floridas. Aury had occupied the island since September under the flag of Mexico. It was obvious that the North American fighting power was superior to any that Aury could muster and that surrender of the island was inevitable.


The New York Times Views Civil War Jacksonville, Richard A. Martin Nov 2021

The New York Times Views Civil War Jacksonville, Richard A. Martin

Florida Historical Quarterly

During the Civil War, military units North and South had their newspaper contingents in camp and field— war correspondents living out of saddlebags stuffed with pencils and notebooks, artists with sketch pads, and photographers working out of wagons jammed with the apparatus of their craft. Although southern newspapers were restricted by shortages of newsprint and men, northern journals prospered, publishing prolifically every shade of drama and every degree of tragedy the conflict offered. In fact, as Allan Nevins has observed, Civil War correspondents enjoyed such a virtual monopoly on the news “they were able to write with greater fullness and …

Florida Gubernatorial Politics: The Fuller Warren Years, David R. Colburn Nov 2021

Florida Gubernatorial Politics: The Fuller Warren Years, David R. Colburn

Florida Historical Quarterly

Inaguration Day, January 3, 1949, dawned overcast and rainy in Tallahassee. The inclement weather, however, did not dampen the enthusiasm of a large crowd that lined the route from the executive mansion to the capitol to greet the new governor, Fuller Warren. With typical inaugural fanfare, Warren was escorted to the steps of the capitol by marching guardsmen and a band which periodically broke into a rendition of “Suwannee River,” the state song. After taking the oath of office, Warren gave a brief inaugural address in which he called for governmental economy, pine tree prosperity, citrus reform, increased tourism, and …

Newnansville: A Lost Florida Settlement, Susan Yelton Nov 2021

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 …


The Case Of Tom Tiger's Horse: An Early Foray Into Indian Rights, Harry A. Kersey, Jr. Nov 2021

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 …


Vicente Pazos And The Amelia Island Affair, 1817, Charles H. Bowman, Jr. Nov 2021

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 Nov 2021

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 Nov 2021

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 Nov 2021

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 …

Foreigners In Florida: A Study Of Immigration Promotion, 1865-1910, George E. Pozzetta Nov 2021

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 …


Greens, Grist And Guernseys: Development Of The Florida State Agricultural Marketing System, Martin M. Lagodna Nov 2021

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.
