At 9:47 on the morning of February 20, 1962, Lt. Colonel John "Shorty" Power delivered the message that millions of Americans had waited four year to hear: "Glenn reports all spacecraft system go! Mercury Control is go!" A little over three hours later Friendship 7 landed in the Atlantic Ocean. From the White House Rose Garden, President John F. Kennedy sent congratulations to the astronaut and "all of those who participated with Colonel Glenn at Canaveral. We have a long way to go in this space race," Kennedy declared, "but this is the new ocean, and I believe the United …

Historic Notes And Documents: Evidence Pertinent To The Florida Cabildo Controversy And The Misdating Of The Juan Marquez Cabrera Governorship, John H. Hann
Florida Historical Quarterly
Before 1764, did Spanish Florida possess the traditional municipal in titution known the cabildo? Since the 1964 publication of John Jay TePask's The Governorship of Spanish Florida, 1700-1763, the more common opinion among authorities on Colonial Florida is that St. Augustine housed the cabildo only from the time of Pedro Menendez de Avile's founding of the city in 1565 until about 1570 when most of his fellow migrants left the colony.1 Paul E. Hoffman and Eugene Lyon took a similar stand in 1969, arguing that because St. Augustine lacked a cabildo in the mid-sixteenth century, the governor could not comply …

Fort Mitchell And The Settlement Of The Alachua Country, Chris Monaco
Florida Historical Quarterly
Fort Mitchell, the former capital of the "Republic of East Florida" during the Patriot War, has never attained distinction. Erected in January of 1814, the twenty-five-foot square, two-story blockhouse was reported to hav been abandoned in May of the same year. When viewed in either military or political terms, the fort was a failure. However this small outpost on the Alachua frontier was originally intended as the nucleus of a self-sustaining, long-term agricultural colony.2 While short-lived Fort Mitchell is especially noteworthy because it was the first substantial Anglo-American settlement in the interior of Spanish East Florida.3 By 1821, seven year …

William B. Barnett And Sons: Florida Banking Pioneers, David J. Ginzl
Florida Historical Quarterly
In January 1998, NationsBank completed its acquisition of Barnett Banks Inc., the last major banking company headquartered in Florida. The bank traced its origins to May 1877, when William Boyd Barnett opened The Bank of Jacksonville. During the next 120 years, with five generations of Barnetts working for the bank that eventually bore the family name, it grew to be a major financial institution with more than six hundred offices throughout Florida and $44 billion in assets. Based upon the writings of the founder's son, Bion, and other extant bank records, this study examines the pioneer banker and the challenges …

Highways To Heaven Or Roads To Ruin, Evan P. Bennett
Florida Historical Quarterly
In December 1949, Ray Strong of Windsor, Canada, came to Starke, Florida, by chance. He had traveled to the Sunshine State to find property to build a motor court, but he missed his appointment in Lake City and, to "kill time," drove to Jacksonville. On his way back to Lake City Strong decided to tak a long route through Starke. He "liked the looks of the town," and, two months later, Strong's El Rancho Motel-"modern in every respect"-opened for business on US Highway 301, one mile south of Starke. The El Rancho was not the only motel built near Starke …

Bert Fish: From Volusia County Courthouse To American Embassy, Sidney Johnston
Florida Historical Quarterly
In 1940, Cairo's Al-Ahram observed that Volusia County lawyer and American diplomat Bert Fish had "gained the love of Egyptians for his frankness and ability to become the friend of Egyptians, and because of his great love for Egypt he is proud to call himself 'half-Egyptian'"-strange praise for a man of humble origins who began in the courtrooms of central Florida, rose to prominence in the state supreme court and the national Democratic Party, and eventually became a significant member of America's diplomatic corp. Indead, few early twentieth century Volusia County residents achieved the level of distinction enjoyed by DeLand …

After days of tedious excursions in the miserable humidity of Florida's Everglades, Lieutenant John T. McLaughlin decided to return his disabled and sick to their island base. The sailors, now several years into the Second Seminole War, had become physically overwhelmed by the wet condition, biting insects, and swamplife around them. Moving through terrain typified by "continuou portage over stump and cypress knees with occasional glimpses of open water," the healthier of McLaughlin's men continued their assignment, paddling their small canoes to search out sign of enemy activity. Excitement arose as three canoes were discovered concealed in the undergrowth, but …

Confronted by the announcement of 'JFK: The Exhibition" my first thought was how could there be a major traveling museum exhibit on this President and his brief administration? How could such an exhibit possibly satisfy any critic or any student of history? If, however, we accept the premise that such an exhibit is possible, then what would, should, or could it include? What might be its themes, its areas of focus?

"There Were Two Job In St. Joe Paper Company, White Job And A Black Job": The Struggle For Civil Rights In A North Florida Paper Mill Community, 1938-1990, Timothy J. Minchin
Florida Historical Quarterly
In 1938, construction was completed on a paper mill located on a reef in the Gulf of Mexico off Florida's panhandle coast. The opening of St. Joe Paper Company was a reflection of the expansion that the American paper industry made into the South in the 1930. The decade saw the establishment of many major paper mills in the region, including several International Paper Company mills and the opening of the huge Union Bag mill in Savannah, Georgia. Much of the expansion took place in northern Florida. Headed by the establishment of a large mill by International Paper Company at …
