The Spaniards And William Augustus Bowles In Florida, 1799-1803, Robert Allen Matter
Florida Historical Quarterly
Napoleon Bonaparte by 1799 had either conquered his European enemies or had pacified them, and only Great Britain stood between him and complete mastery of the continent. Spain since 1795 had been a rather reluctant ally of France, and thus her coast and the coasts of her colonies, including those along the Gulf coast, had become subject to the depredations of almost overwhelming British sea power. To further plague the Spaniards another problem materialized in 1799—the return to Florida of William Augustus Bowles.

Missions In The Defense Of Spanish Florida, 1566-1710, Robert Allen Matter
Missions In The Defense Of Spanish Florida, 1566-1710, Robert Allen Matter
Florida Historical Quarterly
Students of Colonial Latin America generally credit its Indian mission systems as effective instruments of frontier defense. A study of the Spanish missions of Florida does not support this thesis. The “paper” bulwark provided by the Florida missions when challenged could represent a significant exception to the alleged importance of the defense role of the church in the Indies. Or, it could reveal that the missionaries played an ineffective part in the defense of Latin-American frontiers. Regardless, Florida’s story suggests the need for a critical re-examination of the premise that religious missions held strategic areas beyond the line of established …

Vicente Pazos, Agent For The Amelia Island Filibusters, 1818, Charles H. Bowman, Jr.
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.
Florida Gubernatorial Politics: The Fuller Warren Years, David R. Colburn
Florida Gubernatorial Politics: The Fuller Warren Years, David R. Colburn
Florida Historical Quarterly
Inaguration Day, January 3, 1949, dawned overcast and rainy in Tallahassee. The inclement weather, however, did not dampen the enthusiasm of a large crowd that lined the route from the executive mansion to the capitol to greet the new governor, Fuller Warren. With typical inaugural fanfare, Warren was escorted to the steps of the capitol by marching guardsmen and a band which periodically broke into a rendition of “Suwannee River,” the state song. After taking the oath of office, Warren gave a brief inaugural address in which he called for governmental economy, pine tree prosperity, citrus reform, increased tourism, and …

Vicente Pazos And The Amelia Island Affair, 1817, Charles H. Bowman, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
On May 9, 1817, seven distinguished patriots from Buenos Aires arrived at Savannah on board the English cutter Hero. The number included Vicente Pazos, editor of La Crónica Argentina. Their departure from the Río de la Plata had helped rid Supreme Director Juan Martín de Pueyrredón of his most virulent detractors. Born in the province of Larecaja in Upper Peru in 1779, Pazos was descended from the Aymará Indians who resided around Lake Titicaca. After attending the Royal and Pontifical University of San Antonio de Abad in Cuzco where he received his doctorate in sacred theology in 1804, Pazos taught …

Greens, Grist And Guernseys: Development Of The Florida State Agricultural Marketing System, Martin M. Lagodna
Greens, Grist And Guernseys: Development Of The Florida State Agricultural Marketing System, Martin M. Lagodna
Florida Historical Quarterly
The Federal Governments role in aiding farmers is well known; the states’s relationship to agriculture has not been very well chronicled. Florida, for example, was slow in responding to federal stimuli in the early twentieth century, but once underway the state developed innovative programs to help farmers with their economic problems. Agriculture specialists believed that distribution of goods rather than production was the major problem. In the American capitalist system the markets functioned as the distributive agencies. The economists focused their attention on agricultural marketing and importuned government to assist with this endeavor.
Foreigners In Florida: A Study Of Immigration Promotion, 1865-1910, George E. Pozzetta
Foreigners In Florida: A Study Of Immigration Promotion, 1865-1910, George E. Pozzetta
Florida Historical Quarterly
For most of the long American period, Floridians have been deeply concerned with the problem of attracting people to the borders of their state. Though the motivations behind the various efforts to induce migration into the state have changed, ranging from early desires simply to populate uninhabited lands to more modern concerns of tourism and development, the spirit has been remarkably consistent. Indeed, it has only been within the last few years that the “heresy” of imposing legal limits on population growth has been listened to with any degree of toleration. In no other period of Florida’s past, however, have …
When A Minority Becomes The Majority: Blacks In Jacksonville Politics, 1887-1907, Edward N. Akin
When A Minority Becomes The Majority: Blacks In Jacksonville Politics, 1887-1907, Edward N. Akin
Florida Historical Quarterly
With the end of Reconstruction in 1876, the national Republican party abandoned the blacks of the South to state governments controlled by native southern whites. This traditional textbook interpretation of the plight of blacks in the Bourbon South rested on two implicit assumptions: the black was dependent on national Republicanism for protection; and, with the end of this protective system, blacks ceased to be a viable independent political element.1 When blacks did vote during the Bourbon era, they were pictured as sheep being led by conservative whites. An example of this voting behavior in an urban setting is recounted in …

Lieutenant Colonel James Robertson's Mission To The Floridas, 1763, Robert R. Rea
Florida Historical Quarterly
The British acquisition of Florida and the Gulf coast from Spain and France in 1763 represented the rounding out of both continental and Caribbean boundaries, the fulfillment of Pitt’s triumphant vision of imperial expansion. But neither the Great Commoner nor the common Englishman had a very clear notion of those territories which were transformed into the provinces of East and West Florida. A misleading propaganda campaign might educate London coffeeshop habitués to the beauties and prospective riches of the new colonies, but the British army in North America needed more realistic information in order to establish that internal security upon …

Lillian Carisle West's professional name, L. C. West, graced the masthead of the weekly Panama City Pilot from 1917 to 1937. She also managed or edited two other local papers, the St. Andrews Bay News and Lynn Haven Free Press, during part of this period, and she operated the Gulf Coast Development Company and the Panama City Publishing Company. Thus, for almost two decades, Mrs. West successfully assumed a leadership position generally reserved only for the male sex by the society of her time. How she managed to accomplish this feat in a small southern town where women’s struggle for …

The Pwa In Tampa: A Case Study, Charles B. Lowry
Florida Historical Quarterly
The stock market crash of 1929 and the ensuing depression resulted in the first attempts by the federal government to stimulate the economy on a massive scale at a time of economic collapse. President Hoover moved reluctantly in this area, but Franklin D. Roosevelt, although poorly grounded in economics, avidly applied Keynesian economic theory to an extent unacceptable to his Republican predecessor. The programs of the New Deal affected vast numbers of individuals and businesses, both large and small. The Tampa Shipbuilding and Engineering Company (T.S.&E.) founded by Ernest Kreher, a German immigrant, was among the latter. In 1932, while …

East Florida In 1834: Letters Of Dr. John Durkee, W. Stanley Hoole
East Florida In 1834: Letters Of Dr. John Durkee, W. Stanley Hoole
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the summer of 1833 Dr. John Durkee, for more than ten years a practicing physician in Meredith Bridge (now a part of Laconia), New Hampshire, traveled to East Florida for the benefit of his health.1 Settling in Jacksonville, a village of fewer than 250 people and about twenty houses and stores, he soon recuperated sufficiently to lead an active life.2 He rode horseback into the hinterland of Duval County, hunted, fished, and because of his scientific background interested himself primarily in such subjects as alligators, snakes, deer, birds, trees, cattle, soils, and Indian archeology. Meantime, he kept abreast of …

Spanish-Indian Relations In Florida, 1602-1675: Some Aspects Of Selected Visitas, Fred Lamar Pearson, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
The visita or inspection was an institution which dated back at least to the Egyptians and Persians. Spain, in particular, employed the investigation most efficiently to increase royal authority by acquiring political, economic, social, religious, and other types of information. The Laws of the Indies spelled out the form visitations should take. Visitadores, for example, had to announce their purpose upon arrival. They had to begin their work in the principal city of the area under investigation, check on fiscal conditions, and determine in the course of their inquiry whether crown law had been observed. Moreover, the leyes required the …

Martin Tabert, in his desire to “see the world,” unfortunately met an untimely death in Florida. The national publicity given the circumstances surrounding his death provided the catalyst Floridians needed to abolish the cruel and corrupt convict-lease system, a peculiarly southern institution given impetus during the Civil War-Reconstruction era.

Road From Receivership: Claude Pepper, The Dupont Trust, And The Florida East Coast Railway, Alexander R. Stoesen
Florida Historical Quarterly
In December 1971, the longest labor dispute in United States history came to an end when a settlement was reached in the Florida East Coast Railway strike. It began in January 1963, and was viewed nationally as a test case of railway labor work rules. Hopes for an early conclusion faded, however, as each side dug in for a fight to the bitter end.2 Strife was not new to the troubled history of the FEC; it had been an object of controversy for many years, and possibly the violence-torn decade of the 1960s might have been avoided if it had …

Rise Of The "Businessman's Politician": The 1924 Florida Gubernatorial Race, Victoria H. Mcdonell
Florida Historical Quarterly
The 1920s in Florida reflected the enormous social and economic changes that were occurring throughout the United States. The conservatism of the period, exemplified by high tariffs, the passage of the Volstead Act, and the growth of right wing groups such as the Ku Klux Klan, performed an uneasy counterpoint to the new currents of change. Urban growth, rapid economic development, and the proliferation of transportation and communications facilities foretold the future complexion of American life, As Floridians approached the 1924 gubernatorial campaign they were faced with two alternatives: electing men who were committed to holding on to the past …
