Captain Nathaniel Wyche Hunter And The Florida Indian Campaigns, 1837-1841, Reynold M. Wik
Florida Historical Quarterly
In January, 1837, Captain Nathaniel Wyche Hunter arrived at Fort Huleman, Florida, to engage in the military campaigns against the Seminole Indians. His letters and diaries during the next four years provide a vivid account of military life in the Peninsula State. Although his observations do not alter the history of the Seminole wars, they do reflect the thoughts of a perceptive officer facing the frustrations common to this theater of frontier warfare. They also present a soldier’s view of the United States government’s action in removing the Florida Indians to lands beyond the Mississippi river.

A French Document Relating To The Destruction Of The French Colony In Florida At The Hands Of The Spanish, 1565, A. E. Hammond
Florida Historical Quarterly
One of the bloodiest and most publicized chapters in the early history of Florida was written by Don Pedro Menendez de Aviles, intrepid and unscrupulous agent of Philip II of Spain. On three occasions in the months of September and October, 1565, this Spanish gentleman, fired with true inquisitional fervor, ordered and supervised the systematic slaughter of remnants of the third French expedition to the Florida coast, thus ending the French attempt to colonize this disputed territory. Neither the events leading up to the massacres nor the details of the savage butchery requires retelling here. They are the subjects of …

Grant Forecasts The Future Of Florida, James P. Jones
Florida Historical Quarterly
Throughout 1878 AND 1879 Americans followed ex-President Ulysses S. Grant’s world tour. At the same time, Republican “Stalwart” leaders launched the “Grant for President” boom. In September, 1879, to the distress of his friends, Grant landed in California and began a slow procession across the country. While the tide seemed to be running in Grant’s favor when he returned to the United States, his supporters sensed a turn for the worse as Grant crossed the country. Senator John A. Logan, a Grant man, wrote Elihu B. Washburne that the “reception business” was being overdone, and its continuance would benefit the …

Pensacola Memorabilia, T. T. Wentworth, Jr.

Since Andrew Jackson, one of America’s most colorful historical figures was associated with Cantonment on several occasions and spent four weeks with his troops here in 1821 just prior to the change of flags in Pensacola, which transferred The Floridas to the United States of America, I want to recount the events in which Jackson played a part.

Military Events In Florida During The Civil War, 1861-1865, Allen W. Jones
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the voluminous writings on the Civil War the region of the upper South has attracted attention as the battleground of the War and de military activity in the Confederate States of the lower South, especially Florida, has received little notice. The fighting in Florida began early in 1861 but was most active during the last two years of the War. This compilation of nearly one hundred forty military events at over eighty different places will give some indication as to the extent of the War in Florida.

Florida In World War Ii: Tourists And Citrus, Ben F. Rogers
Florida Historical Quarterly
As 1941 drew to a close, in many states of the Union com- placent citizens still argued that the war in Europe and Asia was none of our business, that the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans were insurmountable barriers which no enemy could ever cross. In the state of Florida, however, this was not so. Led by their irrepressible Senator, Claude Pepper, Floridians had long been deeply concerned with the rising tide of totalitarianism; the Gallup polls found Florida one of the most interventionist of all states. During the preceding years, moreover, there had been a tremendous expansion of Florida’s military …

Florida And The Compromise Of 1850, John Meador
Florida Historical Quarterly
The Compromise of 1850 which temporarily settled the sectional dispute over slavery in the territories, had a great impact upon the political party structure in the United States. The ultimate result was the destruction of the Whig party, even though it was that party’s leaders, Clay and Webster, who had been chiefly responsible for the Compromise. In the North, most of the party was drawn into the new Republican party, while its southern members either joined the Democrats or found refuge in such wobbly makeshifts as the American and Opposition parties. What the Compromise did to southern Whigs appears particularly …

William Jennings Bryan And The University Of Florida, Samuel Proctor
Florida Historical Quarterly
William Jennings Bryan resigned as Secretary of State on June 8, 1915, and retired to his home in Florida. Edgar Lee Masters described him at this time as “the Christian Statesman, out of a job . . . no longer a presidential possibility, nor a law-maker nor a law-giver.” The last decade of Bryan’s life was not a period of inactivity, however. A critic has said that it was during these years that Bryan identified himself “with some of the worst tendencies in American life-prohibition, the crusade against evolution, real estate speculation, and the Klan.” As his national political power …

History, Nationalism, And Public Opinion: The Memorialization Of George Mason, Kasandra Fager
Honors Projects
The George Mason Memorial , built on the National Mall in 2002, captures the accomplishments of George Mason, a Founding Father, author of the Virginia Declaration of Rights, and he refused to sign the U.S. Constitution. Identifying Mason's history and exploring the motivations and struggles of the creation of the memorial opens a conversation for public opinion regarding the memorial's physical manifestation. The height of the Jefferson Memorial, the height of the George Washington obelisk, and the beauty of the Lincoln Memorial is seen as a testament of their god-like status in American history. So, where does this leave Mason’s …

Series 1: Family - Quotes
In this section, we have selected quotes that represent how Black residents in Maine view their family life. The quotes are taken from transcripts of the oral history project “Home Is Where I Make It”: African American Community and Activism in Greater Portland, Maine.” The interview subjects are all native to Maine or are longtime residents of Maine. The original intent of the “Home Is Where I Make It” project was to highlight Black residents’ history and struggle for community in southern Maine in both their formal organizational memberships and day-to-day activities. The interviews, however, unearthed a wealth …

The Coeducation Decade: The Fiftieth Anniversary Of Women At Wofford, Phillip Stone, Luke Meagher
Library Exhibits
THE COEDUCATION DECADE: The 50th anniversary of Women at Wofford In February 1971, four women enrolled as day students at Wofford under a new policy that allowed for day student coeducation. The Board of Trustees had changed the policy to allow the admission of women in greater numbers, although women had been part of the student body in small numbers since the 1890s. Within five years, the college moved to full residential coeducation. No matter the status at Wofford, women have made contributions to the campus community. This exhibit celebrates the history of women at Wofford and the ways that …

Letters Of A Teenage Confederate, Henry Eugene Sterkx
Florida Historical Quarterly
The history of the Civil War is replete with many young men who patriotically went off to war hoping to make great contributions to their side. Some did not get a chance to prove themselves in battle. Many spent all of their time in camp where some became victims of disease rather than the enemy’s bullets. Thus it was with Langdon Leslie Rumph.
