Observations On The Origin And Date Of A Seventeenth-Century Florida Map, Ron L. Seckinger
Florida Historical Quarterly
In Woodbury Lowery's The Spanish Settlements within the Present Limits of the United States. Florida, 1562-1574 (1905 edition), there is a map with an inscription which reads, “Map of the coast of Florida, in which region is the Laguna Maymi and where the fort is to be made.” A cloverleaf drawn on the map indicates the site of a projected fort at the Bocas de Miguel Mora, an unidentified location on the southeastern coast of the peninsula. The map, as well as contemporary Spanish documents, indicates that the place called the Bocas was along the southeast coast of Florida, probably …

A South Carolina Lawyer Visits St. Augustine - 1837, John Hammond Moore
Florida Historical Quarterly
Just why Henry Summer, a young South Carolina lawyer, journeyed to Florida in the winter of 1837 is not clear. This account, entitled simply “Journal &c. for 1837,” indicates his purpose was to search court records in St. Augustine-perhaps for Judge John Belton O’Neall, a noted jurist with whom he was associated. Born in 1809 of distinguished German stock, Henry was one of six sons. One brother, William (1815-78), became a horticulturist of some note and gave the name Pomaria to the Newberry County community where he lived. Another, Adam (1818-66), was a well-known Columbia printer. As this narrative makes …

Curbing Of Voter Intimidation In Florida, 1871, Ralph L. Peek
Florida Historical Quarterly
The national Republican administration by early 1870, was aware that large-scale intimidation of Negro voters throughout the South was effectively curbing Negro voting and hurting the party. Consequently, legislation was proposed to protect Negro rights by enforcing the fifteenth amendment to the United States constitution. On February 21, 1870, Representative John Bingham of Ohio introduced a bill that was supposed to protect voting rights wherever they were being denied. Administration spokesmen testified that intimidation and violence were keeping Negroes from the polls in several states, and that federal “force” legislation was needed to protect civil rights in states where politicians …

Social Legislation In Reconstruction Florida, Derrell Roberts
Florida Historical Quarterly
State legislatures for the most part, generally prefer to leave social and welfare problems to others, either private individuals or other government agencies. Even though their taxing powers, as well as their legislative possibilities, are not nearly so limited as their national counterparts, the ideal solution, they insist, is “private initiative.” On the contemporary scene, when many citizens believe that some social legislation is necessary, state legislative bodies seem to prefer leaving such important matters to the national Congress, even on a matching basis. In this regard, Florida’s reconstruction legislature was modern, it pursued a policy that is still in …

Pensacola Labor Problems And Political Radicalism, Wayne Flynt
Florida Historical Quarterly
Historians have generally ignored labor organization in the South. Even the few pioneer studies dealing with southern labor have been confined to the more spectacular strikes in a handful of states. Florida’s unions, radicalism, and labor politics have been damned to the historical limbo surrounding so much of her twentieth-century history. The records reveal that Florida’s labor organizations, beginning with the Knights of Labor in the 1880’s, experienced the same cycles of growth, power, decline, and frustration as in the more highly industrialized northeast. Before examining a specific phase in the long and often sanguinary struggle to organize Florida’s workingmen, …

The Editor's Corner--Recollections Of A Florida Schoolteacher, Alice Fry
Florida Historical Quarterly
My parents moved to Bradenton in the fall of 1908, and my sister and I came down in June of 1909. We were fresh out of college though not college graduates. Before coming to Florida, we had decided we would become school teachers.
