"Some Prefer The Seminoles": Violence And Disorder Among Soldiers And Settlers In The Second Seminole War, 1835-1842, James M. Denham 2022 University of Central Florida

"Some Prefer The Seminoles": Violence And Disorder Among Soldiers And Settlers In The Second Seminole War, 1835-1842, James M. Denham

Florida Historical Quarterly

On November 26, 1835, Seminole Chief Charley Emaltha was murdered brutally as an act of retaliation. Against the wishes of many native leaders, he had agreed to emigrate west, as required by the earlier treaties of Paynes Landing and Fort Gibson. It soon became apparent that Osceola, a rival leader, and his band of followers were responsible. The news, when it spread, created panic throughout the frontier. At Alachua County’s seat at Newnansville, for example, Judge Robert Raymond Reid hurriedly dismissed the on-going session of the Superior Court of Alachua, Columbia, and Hillsborough counties so that everyone concerned could return …

Review Essay: A River Of Peace? The South Florida Frontier In The Nineteenth Century, Gary R. Mormino

Florida Historical Quarterly

Napoleon Bonaparte, a mover and shaper of national boundaries, once insisted that Italy was too long to be a country. Might not reasonable people arrive at the same conclusion about another peninsula, namely, that Florida is too long to be a state?


Before The Seminoles: Football At Florida State College, 1902-1904, Ric A. Kabat 2022 University of Central Florida

Before The Seminoles: Football At Florida State College, 1902-1904, Ric A. Kabat

Florida Historical Quarterly

When Coach W. W. Hughes looked out at his football team in the autumn of 1902, he was under no pressure to improve on the previous year’s season. Recently hired to teach Latin at Florida State College (FSC), Professor Hughes had played football at Vanderbilt University and, when he arrived in Tallahassee, had volunteered to coach FSC’s fledgling team. Practicing on the newly graded gridiron west of campus (a renovated cow pasture), the FSC Eleven prepared for their first game against a city team from nearby Bainbridge, Georgia. Hughes, pleased with the team’s progress, anticipated success.


Slavery And The Political Economy Of Gadsden County, Florida: 1823-1861, Larry E. Rivers 2022 University of Central Florida

Slavery And The Political Economy Of Gadsden County, Florida: 1823-1861, Larry E. Rivers

Florida Historical Quarterly

On the eve of secession in January 1861, Gadsden County was one of Florida’s wealthiest political subdivisions. It and its four neighboring counties contained almost 42 percent of the state’s property when measured by value.1 Gadsden’s $6,714,880 in assets constituted somewhat more than 8 percent of the state’s total, even though the county contained less than 1 percent of Florida’s land and 6.7 percent of its population.2 The county’s per capita wealth of $1,684.19 nearly tripled the state average.

‘Surest Guaranty Of Peace’: Rhetoric, Consumer Culture, And The Popularization Of American Naval Power, 1883 - 1909, Charles B. Harris

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

This project a cultural history of the U.S. Navy during an era of a major institutional and technological transformation. In it, I trace the ways that Gilded Age and Progressive Era naval advocates successfully pitched the idea of modernizing the U.S. Navy to the American people. These military promoters justified technological advancement as societal progress, arguing for a more pronounced presence for the United States on the world stage. Marketing experts then seized on the people’s increasing fascination with naval power to rekindle a sense of patriotism by sensationalizing militarism. Riding this wave of popularity and public awareness of naval …

The East Big Cypress Case, 1948-1987: Environmental Politics, Law, And Florida Seminole Tribal Sovereignty, Harry A. Kersey, Jr. 2022 University of Central Florida

The East Big Cypress Case, 1948-1987: Environmental Politics, Law, And Florida Seminole Tribal Sovereignty, Harry A. Kersey, Jr.

Florida Historical Quarterly

Congressional enactment of the Seminole Indian Land Claims Settlement Act of 1987 paved the way for resolution of a thirty-nine-year political and legal conflict between the Seminole Indians and the state of Florida over control of one of the most environmentally sensitive regions in the state.1 The area, known as the East Big Cypress Reservation, was a 28,000-acre tract lying in western Broward and Palm Beach counties, and it formed a rectangle measuring approximately six miles north to south and eight miles east to west. On the west, the tract abutted the federal Big Cypress Indian Reservation, which was acquired …


"The Fox Goes To France": Florida, Secret Codes, And The Election Of 1876, James C. Clark 2022 University of Central Florida

"The Fox Goes To France": Florida, Secret Codes, And The Election Of 1876, James C. Clark

Florida Historical Quarterly

Samuel J. Tilden’s defeat in the 1876 presidential election has long been the subject for contention and discussion. While many of the causes have received attention, the role played by the secret telegrams between New York and Florida has been overlooked. Confusion over the codes utilized for the telegrams prevented Tilden’s operatives in Florida from purchasing the vote of a key state official. Had the attempt succeeded, the state’s four electoral votes might have been awarded to Tilden, and the prize of the presidency would have gone to him and the Democratic party.

The Florida, Atlantic And Gulf Central Railroad, 1851-1868, Canter Brown, Jr. 2022 University of Central Florida

The Florida, Atlantic And Gulf Central Railroad, 1851-1868, Canter Brown, Jr.

Florida Historical Quarterly

The role of the Florida, Atlantic and Gulf Central Railroad (FA&GC) in Florida’s development and politics, during the period beginning with the line’s incorporation in 1851 and lasting until its initial forced sale in 1868, was substantial and controversial. While the sixty-mile line was smaller than either the Pensacola and Georgia Railroad (P&G) or the Florida Railroad (FRR), its eastern terminus was Jacksonville which, only a village in 1851, rapidly developed into the principal port on Florida’s Atlantic coast. Equally propitious, its western end lay at Lake City on the edge of Florida’s rich plantation belt. The FRR’s terminus at …
