The Editor's Corner--Recollections Of A Florida Schoolteacher, Alice Fry
Florida Historical Quarterly
My parents moved to Bradenton in the fall of 1908, and my sister and I came down in June of 1909. We were fresh out of college though not college graduates. Before coming to Florida, we had decided we would become school teachers.

The Editor's Corner--James Buckland: The Mystery Of An Early Florida Visitor, Eugene Alvarez
Florida Historical Quarterly
Florida, in 1836, was little more than a semi-tropical battlefield for United States troops and Seminole Indians. Having only been recently acquired from Spain, the major towns of the territory, by 1836, were St. Augustine, possessing approximately 4,000 inhabitants, and Pensacola with a population of approximately 2,000 persons. The St. Johns was the major river of the territory, and along its shores were located several tiny settlements, including the small river town of Jacksonville.

The Editor's Corner--Key West In The Summer Of 1864, Millicent Todd Bingham
Florida Historical Quarterly
From 1918 until her death in 1932, my mother, Mabel Loomis Todd, was a prominent resident of Coconut Grove Florida. Her home, “Matsuba,” was a center of cultural life in the community. Recently I have been reading the letters of her mother’s brother, Colonel John Augustus Wilder, written to his family during the Civil War. Stationed at Key West in February 1864, he remained there until August 28, 1865, when he was appointed Judge Advocate General of the Department of Florida and left for Tallahassee, his post until December 9, 1865. He was mustered out of the United States Army …
Ponce De Leon Inlet, Alice Strickland
Ponce De Leon Inlet, Alice Strickland
Florida Historical Quarterly
In its day it has been called the “Killer Inlet” because of its treacherous bar that has ripped out the insides of ships and hurled men to the sandy, shifty bottom to strew their white bones like beads from a broken necklace. From early Spanish times it was named Mosquito Inlet; since 1926, it has been called Ponce de Leon Inlet.
Henry S. Sanford And Labor Problems In The Florida Orange Industry, Richard J. Amundson
Henry S. Sanford And Labor Problems In The Florida Orange Industry, Richard J. Amundson
Florida Historical Quarterly
Henry Shelton Sandord, direct descendant of Thomas Sanford who had come to Massachusetts in the 1630’s, made many contributions to the economic welfare of the United States and particularly to Florida, his “adopted state.” Sanford’s foresight and his sizable investments promoted the growth and prosperity of the orange culture in central Florida. His adoption of modern equipment and scientific methods of cultivation, including selective cross-breeding of citrus stocks and the use of irrigation, speeded the so-called “orange revolution” which occurred in the post-Civil War period. Progress and change, however, often are opposed, and so it was with Sanford’s efforts to …

Confederate Railroad Construction: The Live Oak To Lawton Connector, Jerrell H. Shofner
Florida Historical Quarterly
One of the Confederacy’s most perplexing problems involved combining the disconnected southern railroads into a system of transportation between the various parts of the South. Lack of equipment and enemy action were major reasons for the failure to solve the problem. The Confederate government also pursued the disastrous policy of relying as much as possible on private initiative to supply its needs.
The Battle Of Olustee: Its Meaning For The British, Lawrence E. Breeze
The Battle Of Olustee: Its Meaning For The British, Lawrence E. Breeze
Florida Historical Quarterly
Early in February 1864, Major General Quincy A. Gillmore, commanding the Federal Department of the South with headquarters at Hilton Head, South Carolina, ordered Brigadier General Truman Seymour, commander of the District of Hilton Head, to prepare his forces for a seaborne expedition. Subsequent orders, issued after the embarkation of the troops, directed the expedition to the east coast of Florida. On February 7, Seymour’s forces reached the mouth of the St. Johns River. They ascended the river to Jacksonville and soon took possession of the town. Meeting only token resistance in the area, they began raiding operations outward from …

David Sholtz: New Deal Governor Of Florida, Merlin G. Cox
David Sholtz: New Deal Governor Of Florida, Merlin G. Cox
Florida Historical Quarterly
David Sholtz, New Deal governor of Florida, was not of the familiar cloth from which Florida governors are made. He believed when he began his campaign in 1932, that only a candidate who was cut from an unfamiliar pattern could be elected governor. Alfred Green and Roger West, who were associated with him in the practice of law in Daytona Beach, at first ridiculed Sholtz’ plan to run without the support of the “courthouse ring” in Volusia County. But David Sholtz wanted to be governor, and so he paid the filing fee, entered the race, and convinced a majority of …

Republicans, Bull Moose, And Negroes In Florida, 1912, G. N. Green
Florida Historical Quarterly
During the early weeks of 1912, President William Howard Taft became ruefully aware that a former White House occupant, Theodore Roosevelt, would be his major opponent when the Republican Party held its presidential nominating convention at Chicago in June. Taft’s political aides were scouring the southern states, searching out Roosevelt Republican office-holders and dismissing them whenever found. Local postmasters were advised that if they did not bring a pro-Taft delegation to their state convention, they would no longer be deemed available for reappointment. Another Taft strategem was to hold the southern state conventions ahead of the usual time and before …
State-Supported Higher Education Among Negroes In The State Of Florida, Leedell W. Neyland
State-Supported Higher Education Among Negroes In The State Of Florida, Leedell W. Neyland
Florida Historical Quarterly
State-supported higher education among Negroes in Florida had its beginning during the decade of the 1880’s. The initial step in this new educational venture was taken by Governor William D. Bloxham who, during his first administration, vigorously set forth a threefold economic and social program. In his inaugural address he declared that in order to promote the interest, welfare, and prosperity of the state, "we must invite a healthy immigration; develop our natural resources by securing proper transportation; and educate the rising generation." He promulgated this combination as "the three links in a grand chain of progress upon which we …

Aftermath Of Military Reconstruction, 1868-1869, Ralph L. Peek
Florida Historical Quarterly
The military reconstruction of Florida ended on July 4, 1868, with ratification of a new constitution and the election of Harrison Reed as governor, William Gleason as lieutenant governor, and Charles Hamilton as congressman. A state legislature with a large Republican majority in both houses was also elected.

A British Report On West Florida And Louisiana, November, 1812, Richard K. Murdoch
Florida Historical Quarterly
After returning the two Floridas to Spain by the Treaty of Paris of 1783, England watched with satisfaction while her thirteen former colonies struggled to reach agreement with the government in Madrid on the thorny problem of the southeastern boundary. The Treaty of San Lorenzo of 1795 failed to satisfy either party and the Louisiana Purchase of 1803 further confused the problem by introducing boundary claims in the region west of the Mississippi River. The suggestion to use force to achieve a permanent settlement with Spain was heard with increasing frequency in Washington. Even Thomas Jefferson, in retirement at Monticello, …
The Fort King Road, 1963, William M. Goza
The Fort King Road, 1963, William M. Goza
Florida Historical Quarterly
In 1825, the territory of Florida was sparsely settled and little traveled. Fort Brooke, named for its first commander, Colonel George Mercer Brooke, and located where the Hillsborough River meets Old Tampa Bay, was a scant two years old. In that year, Indian Agent Colonel Gad Humphries established an agency near the present city of Ocala, preceding by some two years the occupation of Fort King on a nearby knoll. Realizing the need to connect its outposts by overland routes, Congress appropriated $12,000 to build a road from the northern boundary of the territory to Fort Brooke. The road was …
