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.

Reminiscences Of A Lector: Cuban Cigar Workers In Tampa, Louis A. Perez, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the latter half of the nineteenth century, increased tobacco imports revived the historico-economic nexus between Cuba and Florida. In Key West, Tampa, Ocala, and Jacksonville cigar factories opened to process Havana tobacco. Thousands of Cubans arrived in Florida to work and most of them established themselves permanently.
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 …

The Case Of Tom Tiger's Horse: An Early Foray Into Indian Rights, Harry A. Kersey, Jr.
The Case Of Tom Tiger's Horse: An Early Foray Into Indian Rights, Harry A. Kersey, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
At a time in our national history when the American Indian’s claim to social and political justice is being vigorously pursued, and dramatically portrayed through mass media coverage of incidents such as the occupation of Alcatraz, disruption at the Bureau of Indian Affairs in Washington, and a “Second Wounded Knee,” it might be well to consider in calmer retrospective one of those little known efforts to secure Indian rights which occurred in Florida at the turn of the century. The participants included an aggrieved Seminole headman of the Cow Creek band and his white friends who displayed an unusual zeal …

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 …
Cherokees And The Second Seminole War, Gary E. Moulton
Cherokees And The Second Seminole War, Gary E. Moulton
Florida Historical Quarterly
The Second Seminole War had its origins in removal agreements concluded between the Florida tribe and the United States government in 1832 and 1833. What had been accepted by a few Indian chiefs had not won the approval of the majority of the Seminoles who wanted to remain in their native lands. Attempts at forced emigration simply broadened scattered hostilities to become a major war by late 1835. The war was a tragic conflict that cost nearly $40,000,000 and countless lives of soldiers, civilians, and Indians. The administration of President Martin Van Buren was eager to find a way out …
Florida Seminoles: 1900-1920, James W. Covington
Florida Seminoles: 1900-1920, James W. Covington
Florida Historical Quarterly
The Florida Seminoles at the beginning of the twentieth century enjoyed a relatively good life. The more than 500 Indians were able to roam freely throughout a 20,000 square mile area situated in the lower part of the peninsula and lying mostly between the settled portions of the east and west coasts of Florida. Since the total population in this wilderness area including Indians, squatters, hunters, and trappers did not number more than 600 persons, there was room for all concerned. The Seminoles supported themselves by otter, plume, and alligator hunting, and they traded these feathers, hides, and skins for …
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 …

Lieutenant Colonel James Robertson's Mission To The Floridas, 1763, Robert R. Rea
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 …

A Purely Business Motive: German-American Lumber Company, 1901-1918, Edward F. Keuchel
A Purely Business Motive: German-American Lumber Company, 1901-1918, Edward F. Keuchel
Florida Historical Quarterly
"The German-American Lumber Company had no motive except a purely business motive." So stated Gerhard Rolfs, treasurer of the company, as the federal government proceeded to take over this German-owned business during World War I. At issue was the charge that the firm was a front organization for German espionage operations during the war. This, as the evidence revealed, was not the case. Yet the emotional fervors of a nation at war had created suspicions about the alien-owned lumber company which had been an important part of Florida’s yellow-pine industry. The German-American Lumber Company was not a subversive organization. To …

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 …

The Forbes Company In Spanish Florida, 1801-1806, David H. White
Florida Historical Quarterly
From 1783 to 1801 the trading company of Panton, Leslie had a virtual monopoly on the Indian trade in Spanish Florida. This organization, composed mostly of Britishers, was established during the British period in Florida and was allowed to continue operations after the retrocession of Florida to Spain in 1783. Its function was to supply the Indians with trade goods to bind them closer to Spain and, if possible, to prevent them from forming commercial ties with American or British traders. Theoretically, the company’s activities were confined to the Florida Indians, but the firm also traded with Indians and white …

That Infamous Floridian, Jesse Fish, Robert L. Gold
That Infamous Floridian, Jesse Fish, Robert L. Gold
Florida Historical Quarterly
The story of Jesse Fish has long been obscured by rumor, contradictory reports, and confusion. He lived more than half a century in St. Augustine under both Spanish and British authority, and his long residence probably helped in the formation of the “Fish Legend,” which has lasted until the present day. Generally, he emerges as a sinister figure, an insidious schemer characteristically involved in contraband commerce, sedition, and illicit land transactions. Fish reputedly made money as an hacendado, land dealer, slaver, smuggler, usurer, and cunning crook. His critics also accuse him of performing espionage for England and Spain, and claim …

Economic Basis Of The Seventeenth-Century Florida Missions, Robert Allen Matter
Florida Historical Quarterly
Many Americans are familiar with the chain of Franciscan missions in Spanish California. Less well-known is the significant Franciscan mission system that flourished among the Florida Indians more than a century before the friars founded their first Upper California mission at San Diego in 1769. The Franciscans began their program in Florida in the late sixteenth century, fter the collapse in martyrdom of a relatively weak, five-year Jesuit effort. Within a hundred years the friars had forged their mission chains from the presidio at St. Augustine some 200 miles north along the Florida and Georgia coasts, to the vicinity of …

Broken Nest: Deterring China From Invading Taiwan, Jared M. Mckinney, Peter Harris
The US Army War College Quarterly: Parameters
Deterring a Chinese invasion of Taiwan without recklessly threatening a great-power war is both possible and necessary through a tailored deterrence package that goes beyond either fighting over Taiwan or abandoning it. This article joins cutting-edge understandings of deterrence with empirical evidence of Chinese strategic thinking and culture to build such a strategy.

The Ironclad Economy, Ryan Thomas
The Ironclad Economy, Ryan Thomas
Journal of Interdisciplinary Undergraduate Research
This paper investigates and describes the Confederate navy’s attempt to establish a naval presence in New Orleans. At the forefront of the Civil War, the Confederate States were pressed to create and sustain a working military presence within an evolving economy. The Southern economy was about to be ravished by the Union’s blockade. Both the Union and the Confederacy knew that establishing an early presence on the water would be of the greatest importance, of which the Union had a considerably large head start on the nonexistent Confederate navy. This paper covers the birth of the Confederate navy in an …

From Half-Free To Property: The Evolution Of Slavery In Dutch New Netherland And English New York, 1621-1712, Sarah E. Hendrickson
Theses and Dissertations
Between 1621 and 1712, Dutch and English colonists imported African slaves to present-day New York to help create a profitable colony. This thesis explores why the Dutch created a society with slavery and how the English transformed New York into a slave society during this period.
