Letter Of Marcus C. Stephens (Quincy, Florida, 1835),

University of Central Florida
Letter Of Marcus C. Stephens (Quincy, Florida, 1835), Marcus Cicero Stephens
Florida Historical Quarterly
The writer of the above letter was Marcus Cicero Stephens of Newbern, North Carolina. During the early years of territorial Florida, many settlers came to the region from the Carolinas and Virginia, due, partly, to the desire to establish pioneer plantations as speculative ventures and, partly, to the need of expansion to take care of the surplus slave property. Stephens was apparently a member of this group. His family was well connected, as his mother was the niece of Commodore James Barron of the “Chesapeake” fame. The plantation which was being established was located near Quincy, Florida ; and here …

Notes On The Life Of James Grant Prior And Subsequent To His Governorship Of East Florida, Philip C. Tucker
Florida Historical Quarterly
To the general reader of Florida history, James Grant is but governor of British East Florida. Had the country remained English for a few more decades, it might well have been that those seven years held the most important service of his long public life; for during that time he laid, in a wilderness, the sound foundation of a typical British colony. But as that beginning came to naught; his governorship is only the midpoint of a military career which began in 1741 as an ensign and carried him to the rank of general in 1796.

Documents Relating To El Destino And Chemonie Plantations, Middle Florida, 1828-1874. Part Iv, Kathryn T. Abbey
Florida Historical Quarterly
The record of El Destino and Chemonie plantations cannot be brought to a close without some account of the changes wrought there by the ravages of the War for Southern Independence, no matter how meager that account has to be. And meager it is. Beyond a few letters, some broken statistical memoranda jotted down by George Noble Jones, and a score or more bits of paper strewn about the El Destino attic, there is nothing. It is with the fullest realization of this circumstance and the resulting limitation of the picture of the plantations that the following narrative is presented.

Key West And Salvage In 1850,

Key West And Salvage In 1850, John C. Hoyt
Florida Historical Quarterly
From the beginning there was wide difference of opinion and sharp controversy in regard to wrecking, the principal occupation of the people of a town which for a time was the largest in Florida. The nature of the business (for it came to be an extensive and well-regulated business) and human nature rendered any agreement between owner and salvor difficult if not impossible; hence, after 1828, every case was automatically taken before the district court which was established at Key West in that year almost wholly for the adjudication of these admiralty cases, and owners and masters of the wrecking …

Documents Relating To El Destino And Chemonie Plantations, Middle Florida, 1828-1868. Part Iii, Kathryn T. Abbey
Florida Historical Quarterly
One of the most interesting as well as the most elusive aspects of El Destino life was the mill plant. A few years after George Noble Jones came into possession of his Florida holdings, he undertook to establish his own mills. The facilities for the project were near at hand, for the plantation was heavily wooded and water-power was available from Burnt Mill Creek and the St. Marks River, both of which flowed through his property. By 1850 the enterprise had been started ; it consisted of a dam, of somewhat imposing size for its day and locality, and a …

Garden Of Ruins: Military Occupation And State Power In Civil War Louisiana, Johnathan Matthew Ward
LSU Doctoral Dissertations
Using Civil War Louisiana as its focus, I argue that military occupation and expansive state power during the US Civil War served the primary mechanisms by which national states fought the war, stabilized order, and shaped a postwar nation. While many histories of the war separate frontline combat from the domestic home front and distinguish between the policy decisions of high politics and everyday decisions on the ground, this dissertation connects the political decisions of war to the daily acts of governance and resistance in occupied Louisiana. Union occupation officials and Confederate state authorities made contingent decisions throughout the war …

Over The Edge: Suburban Planned Communities, The Second Frontier, And The Rise Of 80s High School Films, Daniel Mcclure
Far West Popular Culture Association Annual Conference
While many 1980s youth-oriented films often sold various images of consumption, Over the Edge was one of the early prototypes of the genre, offering a more sober—a more 70s—outlook on youth attempting to find meaning and identity in a corporate-driven, materialistic space called American suburbia. Both a setting for paradise as well as an existential hell for the youth growing up amidst it, the film mobilizes the West and its frontier-like majesty haunting the characters’ space in the planned development of New Granada—a place where families are safe and entrepreneurs can thrive. Specters of the West haunt the film—from the …
