Economic Problems Of Florida Governors, 1700-1763, John J. Tepaske
Florida Historical Quarterly
Many problems plagued the eighteenth-century Florida governor, but none vexed him more than the economic plight of his settlement. Florida was a poverty-stricken military outpost of the Spanish Empire on the northeastern fringe of New Spain. It was unable to sustain itself with mining or agricultural enterprises and was wholly dependent upon outside aid for its existence. Want, misery, and destitution were the lot of the soldiers and their families living in this unpopular community. Securing money and supplies for them was the governor’s greatest single responsibility; no colonial question received his more devoted attention.

What Became Of The Man Who Cut Off Jenkins' Ear?, Edward W. Lawson
Florida Historical Quarterly
Almost all histories mention the unfortunate experience of Master Robert Jenkins who achieved fame by giving his name to the War of Jenkins’ Ear. Some even tell that the man who removed Jenkins’ auricle was called Fandino, captain of a Spanish Coast Guard. What ultimately became of Fandino remains a mystery. He deserves better recognition in the history of Florida, for it was he who was largely responsible for the failure of General James Oglethorpe to capture St. Augustine’s Castillo de San Marcos, and hence the abandonment of the siege of our oldest city by the English in 1740.

Population Change As An Element In The Historical Geography Of St. Augustine, John R. Dunkle
Florida Historical Quarterly
The History of St Augustine, like the history of every place, is an intricate drama of personalities and events set against a backdrop of the physical and cultural environment. This paper attempts to outline the pattern of one facet of the cultural background: population. It is believed that this may be justified by the fact that population changes correlate with events and shed light on those events. Further, population changes serve as an index to changes in economy.

"When I Wore A Younger Man's Clothes": The Nostalgia Topic In The Music Of Billy Joel, Kendall Waters
James Madison Undergraduate Research Journal (JMURJ)
My father and I often listened to Billy Joel together as I grew up, and I eventually formed nostalgic connections to Joel’s music. While music is well known as a conductor of nostalgia, this paper explores the idea that the nostalgia I feel while listening to specific songs in Joel’s catalog is not simply a result of the indexical connections I have built with these tracks. Rather, it is a result of a “nostalgia topic” in Joel’s work. This paper compares the soundtrack and select works from Joel’s catalog to reveal that there is no one gesture, melody, or harmonic …

The Florida Secession Convention, Ralph A. Wooster
Florida Historical Quarterly
The secession movement of 1851-52 received little support in Florida. Although the Compromise of 1850 was never very popular in the state, a majority of the citizenry accepted it as a solution to the sectional controversy. An indication of this sentiment was the re-election of Representative Edward C. Cabell in November, 1850, over Major John Beard. Cabell, who had voted against the Compromise proposals in the House, favored acquiescence to them once they had passed; Beard, the Democratic candidate, had stated he would resist the Compromise to the end. Cabell’s re-election was a victory for Florida unionists.

Some Letters To His Parents By A Floridian In The Confederate Army, Gilbert Wright
Florida Historical Quarterly
The nineteen to twenty-two-year-old author of the letters that follow was destined, after the Civil War, to become a distinguished citizen of his native state. His death in 1908 was mourned by many hundreds “in all walks of life.” He had been active for more than forty years in the railroad enterprise, so important to the development of Florida. His rise in a few decades from clerk to first vice president in the Florida railroad world gave evidence that he possessed qualities for leadership. One may perceive, without reading between the lines, that the young soldier had these qualities.

Letters From The Second Seminole War, John K. Mahon
Florida Historical Quarterly
These pages are built around fragments drawn from the letters and diary entries written by Joseph R. Smith. They contain nothing important enough to require a reinterpretation of the Second Seminole War, 1835-1842; indeed they have little significance except that they enlarge the printed record left by the people who lived at that time. This record helps us, in spite of the one hundred and thirty years lying between, to bring to life their interesting era.

Life At Fort Brooke, 1824-1836, James W. Covington
Florida Historical Quarterly
In January, 1824 the military post known as Cantonment Brooke and later as Fort Brooke * was established at the juncture of Hillsborough River and the bay bearing the same name. There were many sites more suitable or a fort which could be found along the shores and islands of Tampa Bay; but the land at the chosen location had already been cleared and a house and wharf erected by Robert Hackley, a gentleman from New York who believed that his father held title to the land. Incidently, Hackley had left the property in charge of an overseer so that …

Florida Reconstruction Impeachments, Cortez A. M. Ewing
Florida Historical Quarterly
The impeachment of Governor Harrison Reed not only contributes an interesting chapter to the history of Reconstruction but it also offers a number of novel precedents to the history of American impeachments. Throughout his gubernatorial term (1868-1872), Reed fought a consistent and courageous struggle against carpetbag politicians in Florida. I know of no other state or national civil officer against whom the impeachment remedy was so frequently attempted. On four occasions, he was threatened with legislative removal. Twice the lower house passed impeachment resolutions. Finally, in the last year of his term, his enemies voted a bona fide and legal …
