Rube Burrow, "King Of Outlaws," And His Florida Adventures, William Warren Rogers, Jr.
Rube Burrow, "King Of Outlaws," And His Florida Adventures, William Warren Rogers, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
Allen and Martha Burrow named their second son and fourth child Reuben Huston. Born in northwest Alabama’s Lamar County sometime in 1854 or 1855, Rube, as he came to be called, grew up working on the family farm. He loved to hunt and fish, and reportedly had a quick wit about him. Burrow was not enthusiastic about attending school, and, for reasons unknown, about 1874 left for Texas. Besides the legitimate avocation of farming and the less respectable occupation of bartending, Burrow adopted another more dangerous way of making a livelihood-train robbing. When he returned to Alabama late in 1887, …
Liberal Arts On The Florida Frontier: The Founding Of Rollins College, 1885-1890, Jack C. Lane
Liberal Arts On The Florida Frontier: The Founding Of Rollins College, 1885-1890, Jack C. Lane
Florida Historical Quarterly
Although unique in its particulars, the founding of Rollins College in 1885 strongly resembled the formation and establishment of liberal arts colleges throughout the nineteenth century. Three forces-educational denominationalism, community boosterism, and real estate entrepreneurism-converged during the century to create a mania of indiscriminate college-building that produced as many as 700 institutions by the beginning of the Civil War. Founded in the waning years of the “ages of colleges,” Rollins fits this nineteenth-century pattern. It was the Congregational Church that established Rollins in the small frontier town of Winter Park, Florida. The local citizens provided most of the funds, and …

Immigrants And Radicals In Tampa, Florida, George E. Pozzetta
Immigrants And Radicals In Tampa, Florida, George E. Pozzetta
Florida Historical Quarterly
The role that radical ideologies have played in the experience of America’s immigrant groups has been the subject of increasing scholarly attention. Historians are coming to realize that these philosophies often exerted a substantial influence on ethnic group development. This was particularly true of the manner in which immigrants interacted with the labor movement in America. That these developments have often been overlooked has been explained, in part, by a lack of documentary evidence available for use in charting the events, issues, and personalities of the radical world. In recent years, however, a growing volume of historical material has become …
Rebellion In East Florida In 1795, Janice Borton Miller
Rebellion In East Florida In 1795, Janice Borton Miller
Florida Historical Quarterly
Soon after East Florida was returned to Spain by the British following the American Revolution, a governmental structure was established with headquarters in St. Augustine. The first governor of this second Spanish period, Don Vizente Manuel de Zespedes, carried out the complex process of transferring jurisdiction. Thus by 1790, when the second governor, Juan Nepomuceno de Quesada, arrived in the province most of the English settlers had emigrated and Spanish institutions-government, trade, church, and school-were operating. St. Augustine was a town of approximately 1,862 persons, of whom 450 were in the military and about 412 were slaves.
Seminole Folktales, Hedvig Tetens Evans
Seminole Folktales, Hedvig Tetens Evans
Florida Historical Quarterly
In Florida in the early 1950s when these stories were gathered, folktales were still being kept alive among some of the oldest Seminole Indians. All of the following tales were collected at the Brighton Reservation which is located in the center of the state northwest of Lake Okeechobee. It is one of three federal Indian reservations in Florida. The Seminole words that are used are in the Muskogee (Cow Creek) dialect. This is different from the Hitchiti dialect used by the Miccosukees who live on the Tamiami Trail west of Miami.
The Menendez Marquez Cattle Barony At La Chua And The Determinants Of Economic Expansion In Seventeenth-Century Florida, Amy Bushnell
The Menendez Marquez Cattle Barony At La Chua And The Determinants Of Economic Expansion In Seventeenth-Century Florida, Amy Bushnell
Florida Historical Quarterly
Spanish Florida has the historical reputation of a bleak and unfriendly place, unproductive, impoverished, and unhealthy, where governors and soldiers, friars and passive Indian converts were unable to defend their own borders, much less make the land self-sustaining. The doleful letters from officials of the colony about the lateness or inadequacy of the garrison’s situado have made an impact on researchers, if they did not on the Crown. In recent years, however, examples of economic activity have been examined that belie this picture of total dependency. There were times during the seventeenth century when Spanish Florida approached self-sufficiency and was …

Private Societies And The Maintenance Of Seminole Tribal Integrity, 1899-1957, Harry A. Kersey, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the last quarter of the nineteenth century the Seminole Indians of southern Florida were a relatively independent and prosperous people. The small remnant group which remained in Florida following the Third Seminole War (1855-58), numbering fewer than 200, evaded army efforts to capture them, and they faded away into the fastness of the Everglades and Big Cypress Swamp. For several decades they lived in virtual isolation from the outside world, venturing forth only for occasional trading visits to frontier villages such as Miami, Fort Meade, and Fort Myers. During these years they completed the last stage of an ethnoecologic …
Civil War Letters Of Major General James Patton Anderson, Margaret Anderson Uhler
Civil War Letters Of Major General James Patton Anderson, Margaret Anderson Uhler
Florida Historical Quarterly
In a time when patriotism was among the greatest of American virtues, few men pursued it more passionately than General James Patton Anderson of the Confederate army. Born in Winchester, Franklin County, Tennessee, February 16, 1822, he was the son of Margaret Adair and Colonel William Preston Anderson, a veteran of the War of 1812. His maternal grandfather was General John Adair, a hero in both the American Revolution and the War of 1812, and the eighth governor of Kentucky.
Children Of Honor: Letters Of Winston And Octavia Stephens, 1861-1862, Ellen E. Hodges
Children Of Honor: Letters Of Winston And Octavia Stephens, 1861-1862, Ellen E. Hodges
Florida Historical Quarterly
When the Florida secession convention voted in January 1861 to withdraw the state from the Union, it made a fateful decision, the consequences of which its members scarcely understood. The lives of Floridians, white and black, would be fundamentally altered-at first almost imperceptably, then with increasing speed and force-by the action of the delegates. Typical in many ways of those citizens whose lives would be completely altered by secession and civil strife was a young couple from Welaka in Putnam County-Octavia and Winston Stephens.

Turmoil At Big Cypress: Seminole Deer And The Florida Cattle Tick Controversy, Kenneth R. Philip
Florida Historical Quarterly
Indian Commissioner John Collier and Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes, who was accompanied by his wife and son, left Washington, D.C., during the early spring of 1935 to meet with representatives of approximately 600 Seminole Indians who lived on three reservations and on scattered plots of land in Florida. Their purpose was to honor the one-hundredth anniversary of the beginning of the Second Seminole War and to conclude an informal peace treaty with these native Americans. After their arrival at West Palm Beach on March 18, Commissioner Collier requested that officials from the Dania Seminole Agency take them …
Frederic Remington In Florida, Julian M. Pleasants
Frederic Remington In Florida, Julian M. Pleasants
Florida Historical Quarterly
Of the many writers and artists who have glorified the western experience, few have been more singularly devoted, more prolific, or more enduring than Frederic Sackrider Remington. Through his painting, sculpture, illustrations, and literary works, Remington preserved for posterity the essence of a wild and colorful epoch in American history. To a rare and satisfying degree, he captured the Old West-reconstructing its vividness and the vitality of the men, animals, and the scenes that characterized its picturesque history. Other artists drew and painted cowboys, Indians, and the western scene, and many have done so since, but as one critic noted, …

The Tampa Flogging Case, Urban Vigiliantism, Robert P. Ingalls
Florida Historical Quarterly
On November 30, 1935, at about nine o'clock in the evening, a group of Tampa policemen, without a warrant, entered a home at 307 East Palm Avenue and seized six men who were holding a political meeting. Four of the six were members of the Socialist party. All belonged to the Modern Democrats, a new local party that had run candidates in the recent municipal election on a platform containing socialist ideas. Now, almost a month after their candidates had been defeated by incumbents, these leaders of the Modern Democrats were being taken to police headquarters for questioning about their …
Ballooning In The Second Seminole War, Michael G. Schene
Ballooning In The Second Seminole War, Michael G. Schene
Florida Historical Quarterly
During the course of the long and seemingly interminable Second Seminole War, various schemes— most of them impractical and expensive, and sometimes barbarous— were advanced to end the bloody and expensive conflict. Robert Gamble, one of Florida’s most prominent citizens, suggested that the government offer a bounty of $1,000 for every Seminole, whether dead or alive. This reward, he prophesized, “would be sufficient to bring men qualified for such enterprise from every part of the United States, even the trappers from the Northwest.“ The government apparently never gave this proposal very serious consideration. A bizarre scheme that did have official …

Weapons, Strategies, And Tactics Of The Europeans And The Indians In Sixteenth- And Seventeenth-Century Florida, Barbara A. Purdy
Weapons, Strategies, And Tactics Of The Europeans And The Indians In Sixteenth- And Seventeenth-Century Florida, Barbara A. Purdy
Florida Historical Quarterly
The Indians of Florida were hostile to white explorers, adventurers, colonists, and missionaries from the time of Ponce de León’s encounter in 1513 until 1710 when it was reported, “there remains not now so much as one Village with ten Houses in it, in all Florida, that is subject to the Spaniards.“ These were the Apalachee and Timucua Indians of northwest and central Florida, but it is known that the Tocobago Indians had been destroyed by 1709. The Ais, never many in number, seem to have disappeared sometime during the first half of the eighteenth century, and the Tekesta were …
Clan Affiliation And Leadership Among The Twentieth-Century Florida Indians, R. T. King
Clan Affiliation And Leadership Among The Twentieth-Century Florida Indians, R. T. King
Florida Historical Quarterly
As late at the 1950s, the Florida Seminoles were among the least acculturated of North American Indians. Three nineteenth-century wars with the United States had ended in defeat for the Seminoles, shattering their political structure and forcing the removal of the great majority of their people to Indian Territory west of the Mississippi. The remnant bands had dispersed into the uninhabited reaches of South Florida, where, largely left to their own devices, they continued to lead a life based on hunting, gathering, and swidden (cut and burn) agriculture. They were not able to resume their rather sophisticated pre-war political structure, …

Once three had been snow. There had been vastly blinding seas as hard as rock and bone-penetrating cold. So much had depended upon the game animals that when they fled eastward, over the ice-locked Bering straits, The People followed them into a new land. Here, too, winters were white with swirling blizzards; here too the ice boomed in the rivers like thunder when it broke late in the spring. But not all of The People stayed with winter. Some followed game ever southward toward the spring. During the first few generations of the journey, veterans of it dwelt, first, on …

May Mann Jennings And Royal Palm State Park, Linda D. Vance
Florida Historical Quarterly
When the Everglades National Park was dedicated at Everglades, Florida, on December 6, 1947, by President Harry S. Truman, the ceremony was attended by a host of national and state officials and dignitaries and by more than 8,000 of the general public. Seated on the speaker’s platform among the honored guests was a woman whose involvement in the preservation of the Everglades went back more years than any other individual present. She was May Mann Jennings, widow of William Sherman Jennings, Florida’s eighteenth governor.
Brigadier Frederick Haldimand - The Florida Years, Robert R. Rea
Brigadier Frederick Haldimand - The Florida Years, Robert R. Rea
Florida Historical Quarterly
The British colonies of East and West Florida were the fruits of one war and fell from the grasp of George III as the result of another. Throughout their brief history runs a common theme: both were part of a military frontier and to both the presence of British army units was of prime importance— economically, administratively, and socially. Their civil governors were men of modest competence at best. Trade never developed as profitably as merchants hoped, nor did immigrants rush to claim their untilled soil. But the army provided a degree of stability, as well as security, in spite …

José Alejandro Huau: A Cuban Patriot In Jacksonville Politics, Gustavo J. Godoy

On Sunday afternoon, April 9, 1905, the long funeral procession of José Alejandro Huau moved at a slow pace to the Old City Cemetery in East Jacksonville, Florida. United States Senator James P. Taliaferro, the former Jacksonville mayor, Judge Morris A. Dzialynski, and a large entourage of dignitaries, honorary pall bearers, and other mourners rode in the flag-draped carriages. Many people came on foot. The procession included a large Masonic honor guard. A huge array of floral wreaths surrounded the burial site, as Jacksonville lamented the loss of one of its most esteemed citizens.

"A Year Of Monkey War": The Anti-Evolution Campaign And The Florida Legislature, Mary Duncan France
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the summer of 1925, the world focused its attention on the sleepy town of Dayton, Tennessee, the site of the “Monkey Trial” of John T. Scopes. William Jennings Bryan, former secretary of state and the nation’s most zealous fundamentalist, and Clarence Darrow, the most famous trial attorney of his time, were the real antagonists, as they argued over the issue of the teaching of evolution. Both sides battled as if each believed the trial would produce the definitive statement on God and the creation of man.

Vicente Pazos, Agent For The Amelia Island Filibusters, 1818, Charles H. Bowman, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
The appearance of a North American squadron under John D. Henley and a land force under James Bankhead at the mouth of the St. Marys River on December 18, 1817, with orders to move against Luis Aury and his establishment on Amelia Island, compelled the filibusters to abandon posthaste their illfated Republic of the Floridas. Aury had occupied the island since September under the flag of Mexico. It was obvious that the North American fighting power was superior to any that Aury could muster and that surrender of the island was inevitable.
