Constructing The St. Johns: History As Literary Narrative, Jack C. Lane
Florida Historical Quarterly
In th fall of 1943, Farrar and Rinehart announced the publication of The St. Johns: A Parade of Diversities by James Branch Cabell and A.J. Hanna, the twenty-fourth volume in its prestigious Rivers in America series.1 The series was the brainchild of Constance Lindsay Skinner, prominent poet, novelist, journalist, writer of children's literature, and literary critic. Her idea, which Farrar and Rinehart adopted in 1935, was to produce a history of America and its people through the stories of its major rivers. The first woman to hold a major editorial position in American adult publishing, Skinner edited six volumes before …

"Custom Has The Force Of Law": Local Officials And Contraband In The Bahamas And The Floridas, 1748-1779, Alan L. Karras
Florida Historical Quarterly
The British colonies in East and West Florida and the Bahamas were frontier outposts. They were not central to European colonial ventures in the same way as Jamaica and Veracruz. British imperial perspective considered these settlements little more than "buffers," separating the established colonies of mainland North America from hostile group of Amerindians (principally Creeks, Cherokee and Choctaws), as well a from Spanish imperial outposts in Cuba Santo Domingo, and remote Louisiana.1 The importance of such border societies to British officials in Westminster ought to be measured in terms of national security rather than in terms of economic productivity (i.e., …

Larry Eugene River's "Slavery In Florida": A Review Essay, James Oakes
Florida Historical Quarterly
Serious scholarly invetigation of slavery in Florida began with the 1973 publication of Julia Floyd Smith's Slavery and Plantation Growth in Antebellum Florida, 1821-1860. In her own way Smith was a pioneer. She was the first to lay out the basic contours of slavery's history in Florida, and she grounded her narrative on extensive use of archival records, census data, traveler's accounts, legislation, and even slave narratives. Her focus was restricted to the American slaveholders who poured into middle Florida after 1821 and who thereafter extended the southern frontier of the cotton belt. She framed her book within the literature …

Jacksonville's Consolidation Mayor: Hans G. Tanzler Jr., James B. Crooks
Florida Historical Quarterly
Jacksonville's consolidation with Duval County on October 1, 1968, marked a major turning point in the history of this northeastern Florida coastal city. Prior to this event, Jacksonville and the surrounding Duval County struggled with a variety of problems. Despite rapid growth in the metro area, the city lost population, endured racial conflict, and suffered substantial environmental pollution. While other Southern cities faced many of the same problems, the glamour that soon shone upon the Sunbelt seemed to elude this city on the St. Johns River. Partly it was comparative. Other Florida cities-Miami, Tampa-St. Petersburg and Orlando-had begun to achieve …

Plumb Lines, Politics, And Projections: The Florida Everglades And The Wright Report Controversy, Aaron D. Purcell
Florida Historical Quarterly
The drainage of the Florida Everglades haw been a highly debated issue since the mid-nineteenth century. In the 1840s, the United State Congress and the state of Florida passed legislation that encouraged reclamation.1 Nothing came from that effort, but during the next decade Congress began transferring Everglades land to the state of Florida, stipulating that all earnings made from the lands be reinvested in their reclamation.2 To manage the development of these lands, in 1855, the state created an Internal Improvement Fund and appointed trustees who oversaw projects that the Sunshine State hoped would attract people, capital, and agricultural developers. …

Historic Notes And Documents: The Spanish Dedication Tablets From San Marcos De Apalache, Ryan J. Wheeler
Florida Historical Quarterly
Several scholars have offered information and opinions on the date of construction of the Spanish stone fort and stone watchtower at San Marcos de Apalache.1 Two Spanish dedication tablets from the fort, presently in the collection of the Henry Morrison Flagler Museum, Palm Bach, have been cited in these attempts at temporal assignment, but there has been no scholarly attempt to doument the tablets or translate inscriptions on them.2 This essay presents information on the tablets, a transcription of the engraved tablet, comparison with similar architectural features, and some thoughts on the dating of the tablets and their bearing on …

Religion On Florida Territorial Frontiers, Ernest F. Dibble
Florida Historical Quarterly
In reviewing works on Florida territorial history, well-known scholar Herbert J. Doherty Jr. noted in 1958 that many individual church histories had been written but most were "not good history." Even though he later conceded that Catholic and some Protestant denominations were "adequately treated" in denominational history survey, a true religious history-one that synthesizes church histories- remain unavailable. The role of religion on Florida's territorial frontiers is largely hidden from history.

Fort Denaud: Logistics Hub Of The Third Seminole War, Jay Jennings
Florida Historical Quarterly
One of the least known and seldom chronicled military events in American history in the three-year conflict known as the Third Seminole War. Also labeled the Billy Bowlegs War, this final uprising of the Seminole tribe occurred in South Florida between 1855 and 1858. Few of the military outposts established during the war remain; the enduring legacy of most is a roadside marker or street sign. Thirty miles east of Fort Myers-one of the placenames that lives on-is a small swing-span bridge memorializing Fort Denaud, beside which is a plaque marking the spot of a forgotten military installation that played …
