Pensacola's Cast Iron Architecture, Cynthia Catellier
Pensacola's Cast Iron Architecture, Cynthia Catellier
Florida Historical Quarterly
Late at night on July 5, 1880, while most of Pensacola's citizens were sleeping, flames erupted from Cheap John's Clothing Store. The flames became a blaze that eventually destroyed most of the buildings west of the public square. Five months later, an even more devastating fire consumed Pensacola's downtown business district. On December 11, over 100 buildings burned, including Pensacola's two newspaper buildings, every drug store, stationery store, and even the telegraph offices. As the year 1880 ended, over ninety percent of Pensacola's commercial structures had succumbed to flames, and antebellum Pensacola lay in ruins.1

Another Invisible Man: Alexander H. Darnes, M.D., Charles A. Tingley
Another Invisible Man: Alexander H. Darnes, M.D., Charles A. Tingley
Florida Historical Quarterly
The term "invisible man" has become a cliche for the evaporative effect of the Jim Crow Era on African American men and women and the memory of their lives.1 This article is the story of one such man of great stature who became invisible. What started as the search for a young slave boy named Aleck turned in to the re-discovery of Dr. Alexander Hanson Darnes, who was taken as a teenager to a U. S. Army cavalry post in the West, went through the Civil War as the personal valet of Confederate General Edmund Kirby Smith, gained freedom through …
A Flower At Elmira: The Prisoner Of War Diary Of Wilbur Wightman Gramling, Robert Saunders, Jr.
A Flower At Elmira: The Prisoner Of War Diary Of Wilbur Wightman Gramling, Robert Saunders, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
I-want-to-go-home-so-bad. These forlorn words, expressing such homesickness, appear lengthwise within the right margin on the last page of Wilbur Wightman Gramling's pocket diary, a day-by-day journal of his experiences while imprisoned at Elmira Prisoner-of-War (POW) Camp in New York during the Civil War. Struck by a minie ball in the right arm and captured at the Battle of the Wilderness on May 6, 1864, Gramling, a private in Florida's 5th Infantry, spent eleven months at Elmira Prison. The journal he faithfully kept throughout his imprisonment is the only known existing document of this type written by a Florida soldier.1
Abiaka, Or Sam Jones, In Context: The Mikasuki Ethnogenesis Through The Third Seminole War, Patsy West
Abiaka, Or Sam Jones, In Context: The Mikasuki Ethnogenesis Through The Third Seminole War, Patsy West
Florida Historical Quarterly
The general flight path to Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport gives a clear aerial view of two major elements of this story. First is a direct flyover of the Pine Island Complex, a prominent greenspace that was the two-and-a-half-mile-long habitation island of Abiaka, or Sam Jones, and his Mikasuki people. During the Second Seminole War, the island was often referred to as Sam Jones' "stronghold," used by Jones and his Mikasuki leaders until the last year of the conflict.

Interpreting Florida, Its Ninetenth-Century Literary Heritage, Maurice O'Sullivan
Florida Historical Quarterly
In January 1827, Ralph Waldo Emerson, a 23-year-old licensed but not yet ordained minister plagued by religious doubt and failing health, came to St. Augustine. As he wrote in a letter to his brother William, he found himself constantly bored during his two and a half months residence: "What is done here? Nothing .... I stroll on the sea-beach and drive a green orange over the sand with a stick. Sometimes I sail in a boat, sometimes I sit in a chair."1

Sucking, Blood, And Fire: Timucuan Healing Practices In Spanish Florida, Tamara Shircliff Spike
Sucking, Blood, And Fire: Timucuan Healing Practices In Spanish Florida, Tamara Shircliff Spike
Florida Historical Quarterly
As a colonial holding, Spanish Florida was a provincial backwater. It was located on the periphery of empire and parsely settled. Spain spent comparatively little time and effort developing the infrastructure of the colony.1 However, it is for these very reasons that Florida reflects to a magnified degree a problem in mission fields throughout the Americas during the colonial period: how to combat disease in the mission populations while still working to extirpate Native practices seen as anti-doctrinal. Descriptions of healing rituals by Franciscan friars and other Europeans offer tremendous insight into how the Timucuans of Spanish Florida viewed their …

The Rise Of Jim Crow In Fort Myers, 1885-1930, Jonathan Harrison
Florida Historical Quarterly
The power and opportunities of African Americans in Florida between the 1880s and 1920s fluctuated across time and location and were affected by variations in local economic structures, migration patterns and cultural histories. Black property ownership, political participation and social prestige were in flux, impacted by such factors as the availability of public land for cultivation by blacks, the cultures of the places from which new residents had migrated, and whether the area was a new settlement or one that was carrying forward a set of social relationships that had been formed during the slavery period. Each of these factors …

Swaim Family Papers: Civil War Reports And Letters Of Recommendation For A Carpetbagger, John T. Foster, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
Yankee families became involved in Florida during the Civil War and in the Reconstruction. For example, the family of the American merchant John Jacob Astor owned a tiny railroad that connected Tocoi on the St.Johns River with St. Augustine; they later sold it to New York industrialist and founder of Standard Oil, Henry Flagler. The family of New York-born writer Henry James invested in a cotton plantation in Alachua County. Best known perhaps is Harriet Beecher Stowe's orange grove in Mandarin where she and her family wintered for seventeen years. The origins of these ventures remained largely unexplored as Florida …

Camp Blanding Station Hospital In The War Years, George E. Cressman, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
Preparation for and entry into World War II required significant changes in the United States, especially for the U.S. Army. Mobilization of manufacturing facilities created noteworthy opportunities for women to work in jobs traditionally considered the domain of men. Construction at camps and forts drove substantial improvement for local economics still suffering from the aftershocks of the great depression. And millions of men-and a large number of women-entered military service.

By The Shores Of The Phosphorescent Seas: Lafcadio Hearn's Journey To Florida's Mysterious Fountain, Maxwell J. Stillwell
Florida Historical Quarterly
Why these longings for lands in which we shall never be?-why this desire for that azure into which we cannot soar?-whence our mysterious love for that tumultuous deep into whose emerald secrets we may never peer? wrote Lafcadio Hearn (1850-1904) while visiting Florida in 1885. "Has it not often seemed to you that the more antiquated and the more unfamiliar an object or a place is, the more it appears at first sight to live,- to possess a sort of inner being, a fetish-spirit, a soul?"2 Such are the questions a reader of the great impressionistic writer might expect him …

A Few Crazy Ladies: How Women Broke Down Barriers And Created A Place For Female Martial Artists In Florida, 1974-1983, Christopher David Thrasher
Florida Historical Quarterly
In September 1974, Black Belt Magazine published a letter from Karen Swanson, a school teacher living in Tallahassee, Florida. Swanson thanked the editors for their recent hire of the New York historian and martial artist Valarie Eads to write a reoccurring column in their magazine on female fighters titled "Fighting Woman." Swanson described herself as an active feminist who wanted to learn self-defense under the guidance of a female teacher. Swanson lamented that there were no female martial arts teachers in north Florida and therefore she had been forced to look for a male instructor. Swanson explained that most male …
Time To Grow Up: The Rise And Fall Of Spring Break In Fort Lauderdale, James Schiltz
Time To Grow Up: The Rise And Fall Of Spring Break In Fort Lauderdale, James Schiltz
Florida Historical Quarterly
Every year millions of American college students embark upon their spring break odysseys south to enjoy a break from classes and inclement weather. Contrary to the degenerative nature of today's spring breaks, the genesis of the custom was rather innocent. In 1934, before the ubiquity of collegiate indoor swimming pools, Colgate University's swimming coach Sam Ingram became concerned that the harsh winters of upstate New York were inhibiting his team's strength and conditioning. At the suggestion of a swimmer's father who hailed from South Florida, Ingram and his team traveled to Fort Lauderdale to train at the Las Olas Casino …

The Historical Archaeology Of Seventeeth-Century La Florida, Bonnie G. Mcewan
The Historical Archaeology Of Seventeeth-Century La Florida, Bonnie G. Mcewan
Florida Historical Quarterly
At the beginning of the seventeenth century, St. Augustine was still recovering from Francis Drake's 1586 raid during which the town and fields were ravaged.1 Officials were also evaluating the fallout from the 1597 Guale Rebellion during which four of the five friars working among the native peoples were killed, and rebuilding the town following a devastating fire in 1599. If not for St. Augustine's strategic location and perceived progress in the religious conversion of natives, Florida might well have been abandoned at the turn of the century. As it turned out, the next century would be the period of …

A Pioneer In Prison Reform: Costello V. Wainright And Its Paradoxical Legacy In Florida Prisons, Mariko K. Shitama

In 1972, prisoners Michael V Costello and Robert K Celestino filed separate pro se complaints in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida alleging overcrowded conditions and inadequate health care in Florida prisons. These claims were consolidated, amended by court-appointed counsel, and authorized by Senior United States District Judge Charles Ray Scott as a class action for declaratory and injunctive relief on behalf of all present and future Florida Department of Corrections (DOC) inmates. In their amended complaint, the plaintiffs alleged that the overcrowding and inadequate medical care in Florida prisons constituted cruel and unusual punishment …
Crimes Defining Our Time: Notable Criminal Cases From The First Fifty Years Of The Middle Distric Of Florida, Anthony E. Porcelli
Crimes Defining Our Time: Notable Criminal Cases From The First Fifty Years Of The Middle Distric Of Florida, Anthony E. Porcelli
Florida Historical Quarterly
Since the inception of the Middle District of Florida in 1962, the breadth of cases prosecuted in the District during the first five decades has covered the spectrum of the federal criminal code. The courthouses in the District have certainly housed many nationally significant and high profile cases, all worthy of extensive discussion and debate. Given the nature and scope of the many significant prosecutions, it is a difficult task to select just a few notable criminal cases. The nine cases discussed below have not been selected based upon the success of the government or defense in the case, but …
Otherwise Qualified: The Rehabilitation Act Of 1973 And The Origin Of The Direct Threat Defense, Patrick D. Flamming
Otherwise Qualified: The Rehabilitation Act Of 1973 And The Origin Of The Direct Threat Defense, Patrick D. Flamming
Florida Historical Quarterly
In an effort to integrate individuals with disabilities into society and abate employment discrimination, Congress passed the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Act). While the Act more clearly applied to certain individuals with disabilities, the Act's construction seemingly left undefined whether individuals with contagious diseases were afforded the same coverage. The case giving rise to the Supreme Court's landmark employment law decision resolving the matter was the unreported, oral opinion of Arline v. School Board of Nassau County, which was decided in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida. This Comment examines the district court's opinion, comparing …

Talking Trash: A Short History Of Solid Waste Management In Florida, Andrew Fairbanks
Talking Trash: A Short History Of Solid Waste Management In Florida, Andrew Fairbanks
Florida Historical Quarterly
Death and taxes may be the only certainties in life, but taking out the trash is a daily routine for virtually every American household. Human beings have always discarded things, and in the more remote past, people often used discards for other purposes, such as empty oyster shells that formed impressive Native American ceremonial mounds. Until World War II, farmers and urbanites alike fed food scraps to pets, pigs, and other animals. Today, everything from worn out furniture to old cell phones is heaped into piles that comprise one of contemporary Florida's most easily identified landscape features: landfills. As a …
