Pensacola's Medical History: The Colonial Era, 1559-1821, William S. Coker
Florida Historical Quarterly
A number of studies have been written about various aspects of Panzacola’s / Pensacola’s medical history during the colonial era, which encompasses the first Spanish period (1559-1763), the British era (1763-1781), and the second Spanish presence (1781-1821). This essay attempts to synthesize the disparate studies of hospitals, doctors, patients, medicines, illnesses, diseases, and medical practices of colonial Pensacola. The cumulative record indicates that, despite their best efforts, medical practitioners encountered numerous problems, among them a shortage of personnel, funds, and medicine, as well as the prevalent fevers, over which they had no control.

Countdown To College: Launching Florida Institute Of Technology, Gordon Patterson
Florida Historical Quarterly
East central Florida underwent a revolution in the 1950s as an army of 75,000 technicians, engineers, and scientists poured into the sleepy fishing communities stretching from Titusville to Melbourne along the Atlantic Coast.1 The year 1958 was one of significant change for the country and for Florida. In January, the United States launched its first satellite into orbit. In July, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed into law the bill creating the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). A month later the Defense Department’s Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) called for the creation of a new super-rocket code-named Saturn.2 Less attention …

Jacksonville Before Consolidation, James B. Crooks
Florida Historical Quarterly
At the inauguration of the new Jacksonville city-county consolidated government in October 1968, Local Government Study Commission Chairman James Jacqueline Daniel wrote that “Jacksonville had experienced a political renaissance.” Ten years later, Jacksonville mayor Hans Tanzler declared that consolidated government was “the salvation” of the city. In 1993, at the twenty-fifth anniversary celebration of consolidated government, then-Mayor Ed Austin called for rekindling “the spirit that drove the consolidation effort . . . because our form of government is the envy of cities around the world.” Tanzler, chairing that celebratory occasion, agreed, adding, “[c]onsolidation has been described as Jacksonville’s ‘Greatest Moment.’“

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
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
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,

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.
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 …
