Review Essay:--Florida's Heritage Of Diversity: Essays In Honor Of Samuel Proctor, James B. Crooks 2022 University of Central Florida

Review Essay:--Florida's Heritage Of Diversity: Essays In Honor Of Samuel Proctor, James B. Crooks

Florida Historical Quarterly

It is appropriate that this volume stresses Florida’s heritage of diversity because Samuel Proctor in his many contributions to this state’s history explored, wrote, taught, edited, and celebrated its rich variety of people and institutions. During his fifty-plus-year relationship with the University of Florida and his thirty years editing the Florida Historical Quarterly, Proctor nurtured research and edited histories of Native Americans, African Americans, immigrants, women, Jews, and other Floridians ranging from poor crackers to millionaire businessmen. Proctor also pioneered the use of oral history in this region, edited twenty-five facsimile volumes of rare books on Florida for the Florida …

List Of The Inhabitants Of Pensacola Who Were Householders At The Time Of The Capitulation, William S. Coker 2022 University of Central Florida

List Of The Inhabitants Of Pensacola Who Were Householders At The Time Of The Capitulation, William S. Coker

Florida Historical Quarterly

The Spaniards prepared a list of householders soon after their victory over the British at Pensacola on May 10, 1781, although the exact date of the document is unknown. They used this list to wrap other documents and it carries a note: “Varios memoriales dentra y otros papeles en Yngles qe. u guardan pa. en caso de reclaman” (inside are various memorials and other English papers that are kept in case of claims).


The First Seminole War, November 21, 1817-May 24, 1818, John K. Mahon 2022 University of Central Florida

The First Seminole War, November 21, 1817-May 24, 1818, John K. Mahon

Florida Historical Quarterly

The North American Southeast remained a wild borderland where Indian tribes, the United States, Spain, and Great Britain competed fiercely for supremacy. After the War of 1812 Spain kept a tenuous hold on Florida; however, Spanish authorities could not enforce peace on the border and were unable to prevent black slaves from fleeing to Florida and joining the Seminole Indians. Seen from Washington the peninsula was a natural appendage to the United States, and James Monroe’s administration hankered to possess it.


The Beginnings Of Big Sugar In Florida, 1920-1945, John A. Heitmann 2022 University of Central Florida

The Beginnings Of Big Sugar In Florida, 1920-1945, John A. Heitmann

Florida Historical Quarterly

During the past several years, the Florida sugar industry has been under the journalist’s microscope and scrutinized as no other agricultural enterprise in America. If we are to believe the evidence presented in Alec Wilkinson’s Big Sugar, or essays written over the past decade that appeared in Forbes, George, the Nation, and Florida Trend, one must conclude that Florida sugar interests are economically privileged and politically powerful, ruthlessly exploitative towards labor, and, to top it off, largely responsible for the environmental degradation of the Everglades.1 During the 1980s the focus of the attack centered on the industry’s use of imported …


Seeking The Sweet Spirit Of Harmony: Establishing A Spiritualist Community At Cassadaga, Florida, 1893-1933, John J. Guthrie, Jr. 2022 University of Central Florida

Seeking The Sweet Spirit Of Harmony: Establishing A Spiritualist Community At Cassadaga, Florida, 1893-1933, John J. Guthrie, Jr.

Florida Historical Quarterly

In March of 1899, a prominent Spiritualist from Amelia, Ohio, J. Clegg Wright, sent a letter to a medium residing in Cassadaga, Florida. Wright informed Emma J. Huff that he planned to attend the following year’s Spiritualist convention in the Sunshine State. Congratulating her for having a “fairly good meeting this year,” he added: “It must be a hard region in which to sow the seed of progressive thought. The South Land is behind. It is cursed by the heel of old religion— a monstrous tyrant. He puts the eyes out of all his subjects.“1 Wright’s letter reveals much about …
