Refugees From War: Interviews With Elsa And Max Siegmund, Richard Hacken, Marianne Siegmund Jan 2022

Refugees From War: Interviews With Elsa And Max Siegmund, Richard Hacken, Marianne Siegmund

Faculty Publications

In 1987, Marianne Siegmund interviewed her parents (Elsa and Max Siegmund) about their lives, which included her own life experiences as well. The family members are of Transylvanian Saxon origins, coming from a minority German-speaking group that has lived in Transylvania (within Hungary and Romania) since the early Middle Ages. This family saga extends in time from World War One through the 1950s and beyond. (The interviews do not necessarily follow chronologically, however.) The family history begins in Székelyudvarhely, a town in Transylvania that has been divided and redivided between Hungary and Romania a number of times. Because of both …

John Ellis, King's Agent, And West Florida, Julius Groner Jan 2022

John Ellis, King's Agent, And West Florida, Julius Groner

Florida Historical Quarterly

In the short though not uneventful life of the British colony of West Florida, major figures came and went with disruptive frequency. Three royal governors and two lieutenant governors headed the resident administration of the colony in eighteen years, but all of them enjoyed the administrative stability provided in London by the royal agent for West Florida, John Ellis. For a dozen years this distinguished scientist and modest bureaucrat presided over the parliamentary grant upon which West Florida depended and disbursed its funds in such a judicious manner as to restrain gubernatorial fiscal exuberance, maintain necessary public functions, and satisfy …


The 1944 Florida Democratic Senate Primary, James C. Clark Jan 2022

The 1944 Florida Democratic Senate Primary, James C. Clark

Florida Historical Quarterly

Senator Claude Pepper’s defeat in the 1950 Democratic primary by Representative George Smathers has become one of the most controversial elections in Florida politics. The race between Pepper, a New Deal liberal, and Smathers, a traditional southern conservative, attracted national attention. But Pepper’s popularity actually began to decline in 1944, when he narrowly avoided a runoff election against a field of little-known candidates. The 1944 election indicated some of Pepper’s political weaknesses that Smathers would exploit six years later. Claude Pepper followed an unusual route to the United States Senate. He was born in Alabama in 1900, was graduated from …

William J. Howey And His Florida Dreams, Melvin Edward Hughes, Jr. Jan 2022

William J. Howey And His Florida Dreams, Melvin Edward Hughes, Jr.

Florida Historical Quarterly

William John Howey was a land speculator who came to Florida in 1908 and devised a unique land sales and development program on nearly 60,000 acres of land in Lake County. Howey’s plan, based on the sale of undeveloped citrus land, led to the creation of Howey-in-the-Hills, a town he envisioned as the “City Inevitable.“ In addition to this visionary enterprise Howey ran as the Republican candidate for governor of Florida in 1928, and again in 1932.

"New Red Atlantis": John Collier's Encounter With The Florida Seminoles In 1935, Harry A. Kersey, Jr.

Florida Historical Quarterly

In March 1935, some two years following his appointment as commissioner of Indian Affairs by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, John Collier paid his first official visit to the Seminole Tribe in Florida. Although recognized as one of the nation’s leading Indian Rights advocates throughout the 1920s Collier’s work had been focused almost exclusively among the western tribes. As secretary of the American Indian Defense Association, he frequently appeared before various congressional committees, testifying on such issues as tribal water and mineral rights, control of reservation lands, and Indian religious freedom. His name had become synonymous with a progressive commitment to …

Creating A Different Pattern: Florida's Women Legislators, 1928-1986, Mary Carolyn Ellis Jan 2022

Creating A Different Pattern: Florida's Women Legislators, 1928-1986, Mary Carolyn Ellis

Florida Historical Quarterly

Florida in the nineteenth century was a traditional southern state. The legacy from the Civil War and Reconstruction lingered into the early decades of the twentieth century, principally with regard to cultural expectations, racial prejudice, and one-party Democratic politics. Women’s roles in the society were carefully defined, and there was not much divergence from cultural expectations. Florida Congressman Frank Clark expressed this traditional attitude in 1915: “Let us then leave woman where she is— the loveliest of all creation, queen of the household.“


Florida And The World's Columbian Exposition Of 1893, Stephen Kerber Jan 2022

Florida And The World's Columbian Exposition Of 1893, Stephen Kerber

Florida Historical Quarterly

It is a common misconception that Chicago, Illinois, is known as “the Windy City” for its weather. Actually, the name originated during the nineteenth century as a derisive comment upon the often-exaggerated rhetoric employed by Chicagoans engaged in praising their community. This prideful attitude would find its finest and most enduring expression in the poetry of Carl Sandburg. It was this same spirit of aggressive boosterism which in the 1890s enabled Chicagoans to win congressional approval to host on behalf of the nation a great international exposition celebrating the four hundredth anniversary of Columbus’s discovery of the New World, and …
