German Tourists In Florida: A Two-Century Record, Earl R. Beck
Florida Historical Quarterly
In 1981, 74,219 West German tourists landed in the airport in Miami. This figure, which represents over a ten per cent increase over 1980, does not take account of many Germans who came to Florida after landing elsewhere in the United States. Those thousands of Germans who visit Florida today are continuing the lively interest in this state which began more than two hundred years ago. But, strangely enough, the number of German accounts of Florida and its myriad lures has been quite small. Stranger still, while tourism has grown, German writing about Florida has declined, and some recent accounts …

Encounter At The Aucilla, 1862, Katharine Jackson Willis
Florida Historical Quarterly
The Civil War was more than dramatic sieges, heroic charges, and bloody encounters. There were numerous isolated and little-publicized acts of valor and triumph on both sides. If such affairs did not directly influence the outcome of the war, they hid a special poignance of their own. For Southerners who increasingly learned to endure the painful news of costly mistakes, defeats, and reversals, such individual triumphs were particularly welcome. One example of courage and success occurred on June 2, 1862, in a remote theatre of the conflict: Florida.

An Integrated Free School In Civil War Florida, Gerald Schwartz
Florida Historical Quarterly
During the Federal occupation of Jacksonville in February 1864, an attempt was made by Dr. Esther Hill Hawks, an abolitionist lady from New Hampshire, to operate there the state’s first racially integrated free school. This kind of an integrated facility, fleeting though it proved to be, was among the first in any southern state.

Florida Legislative Committees: Their Growth Since 1822, Allen Morris
Florida Historical Quarterly
Nine of the thirteen members of Florida’s first Legislative Council had reached Pensacola to take the oath of office on July 22, 1822. Officers were elected the following day, and a committee of two was appointed to advise Governor William P. DuVal that the council was ready to proceed to business. On the same day that the governor’s message was received by the council, segments of it were referred to committees of four members “with authority to report by bill or otherwise” on matters relating to the judiciary and revenue. In immediate succession, other committees of three to five members …

Religious Censuses Of Pensacola, 1796-1801, Florida Historical Society
Florida Historical Quarterly
There are few population censuses for colonial Florida. For Pensacola, there are two civil name censuses for the second Spanish period, 1781-1821; one prepared under the direction of Governor Arturo O’Neill in 1784, and another directed by Governor José Callava in 1820. Other censuses of a statistical nature also exist, but like the name censuses, they were taken only periodically. A third list of Pensacola names was found among the records in the Spanish archives; Bishop Cirilo de Barcelona’s report of his Santa Visita (Holy Visit) of 1791 contained ninety-seven names of Pensacola residents who had complied with the annual …

The Great Seals Deputed Of British East Florida, Peter Waline
Florida Historical Quarterly
The cession of the Spanish province of Florida to the British crown by the Treaty of Paris in 1763, and the subsequent division of the territory into the two British provinces of East and West Florida, brought in its wake the introduction of new legal and administrative arrangements. One of these was the replacement of the Spanish seal for the province by two British royal seals, one for each new province.

Another Road To Disappearance: Assimiliation Of Creek Indians In Pensacola, Florida, During The Nineteenth Century, Jane E. Dysart
Florida Historical Quarterly
In historical accounts of the old South, Indians are customarily treated as participants only in the frontier phase of colonial rivalry and during the era of territorial expansion. With the removal of the Indians to lands west of the Mississippi, southern history becomes the story of a white-dominated society composed almost exclusively of whites and blacks. The diversity of Indian-white and Indian-black relationships during the early years of the antebellum era is rarely part of the story, nor is the account of the Indians who remained behind included in the traditional narratives. Yet Indians constituted a third ethnic group in …

Politics Of Patronage: Florida Republicans During The Hoover Administration, David J. Ginzl
Florida Historical Quarterly
On November 6, 1928, Republican presidential candidate Herbert Clark Hoover won a national landslide victory, receiving over fifty-eight per cent of the popular vote and carrying all but eight states. Among the states supporting Hoover were Virginia, North Carolina, Texas, and Florida, the first Republican victories in these southern states since Reconstruction more than a half century earlier.

Cuban Patriots In Key West, 1878-1886: Guardians At The Separatist Ideal, Gerald E. Poyo
Florida Historical Quarterly
The signing of the Zanjón Pact in February 1878 signaled the termination of the Cuban Ten Years War, the first phase of the island’s efforts to gain freedom from Spain. However, for many Cubans the treaty represented only a temporary setback, and in Key West it was clear from the start the community would not accept the pact. During the next decade separatist activity continued unabated, though actual fighting was sporadic at best and never a serious threat to Spanish domination.

The Equal Rights Amendment And The Florida Legislature, Joan S. Carver
Florida Historical Quarterly
The Equal Rights Amendment to the United States Constitution was one of the most volatile and divisive issues facing the Florida legislature in the 1970s. Lobbying was active on the issue, shifts in support by legislators were frequent, and votes closely divided. Adding to the intensity of the deliberations was the importance of the Florida vote. By 1977 thirty-five states had approved the amendment, only three states short of the thirty-eight necessary for adoption. Despite vigorous efforts on its behalf, the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) was not ratified by the Florida legislature, and Florida was joined in history with those …
