Progress And Sacrifice: Tampa Shipyard Workers In World War Ii, Stacy Lynn Tanner
Progress And Sacrifice: Tampa Shipyard Workers In World War Ii, Stacy Lynn Tanner
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the early morning hours of December 7, 1941, Japanese planes bombed and strafed the harbor and airfields at Pearl Harbor and on Ford Island. When the raid ended eight battleships, three cruisers, three destroyers, and almost 200 airplanes had been destroyed and 2,400 American sailors were dead or dying in the oily waters-and the United States was no longer an observer of the war that raged on three continents.

A Women's Page Pioneer: Marie Anderson And Her Influence At The Miami Herald And Beyond, Kimberly Wilmot Voss
Florida Historical Quarterly
In 1971, when Miami feminist and National Organization for Women leader Roxcy Bolton submitted a list of women qualified for political office in Florida, she naturally included the name of Miami Herald women's page editor, Marie Anderson.1 After all, Anderson had spent the past two decades laying the groundwork for the feminist movement by covering gender discrimination and inequities in the Miami area and fighting for women in the journalism profession. Bolton, who had launched a successful 1969 challenge to the Miami practice of maintaining separate "men only" sections in downtown restaurants,2 said of Anderson: "She made a difference. Womenkind …
A Plague In Paradise: Public Health And Public Relations During The 1962 Encephalitis Epidemic In St. Petersburg, Florida, Eric Jarvis
Florida Historical Quarterly
During the months of August and September of 1962 the city of St. Petersburg, Florida, experienced an outbreak of St. Louis encephalitis. The United States Communicable Disease Center in Atlanta soon labeled the outbreak a "major epidemic" as it spread into nearly all areas of surrounding Pinellas County. The first case of the disease was reported on July 24 and the outbreak was not officially considered to have ended until September 28. During that time the various public health agencies and the press reported between 140 and 190 cases. Initially reports claimed that fourteen people had died of encephalitis,1 although …

Fish On: Pensacola's Red Snapper Fishery, Jason T. Paupp
Fish On: Pensacola's Red Snapper Fishery, Jason T. Paupp
Florida Historical Quarterly
In an article he wrote in 1942 for The American Neptune Fred Hunt remembered fishing the Campeche Bank of the northern coast of the Yucatan in the "late 'teens" when the Pensacola red snapper fleet was "the only big American deep-sea fishing fleet using all-sail vessels exclusively." Though he admitted the fleet was perhaps not as picturesque as it seemed to him at his "meeting salt water for the first time," the Alabama native penned a colorful tale of the men who plied the waters of the Gulf and drank away their pay in the bars and saloons of Pensacola. …

The Women Of The Early Florida Audubon Society: Agents Of History In The Fight To Save State Birds, Leslie Kemp Poole
Florida Historical Quarterly
Reflecting back on the first 25 years of the Florida Audubon Society, President Hiram Byrd described its early founders "a little group of people who had a vision for the future." In particular, Byrd noted that Clara Dommerich, at whose home the first meeting was held in 1900, was "probably the leading spirit in the movement, but as so frequently happens in this world of affairs, the hand that presses the button is not seen."1

George Mathews And John Mckee: Revolutionizing East Florida, Mobile, And Pensacola In 1812, J. C. A. Stagg
Florida Historical Quarterly
It has become conventional to regard the East Florida revolution of 1812 as a singularly colorful and controversial episode in the history of the early republic. Its colorful aspects have lent themselves to the writing of fast-paced narratives that make for good reading because its organizers-United States government agents George Mathews and John McKee-brought to the performance of their duties roughly equal proportions of outright illegality, low intrigue, and not a little incompetence. The revolution they staged has always been controversial because it has been difficult to escape the conclusion that it embodied the desire of the administration of James …

Henry S. Harmon: Pioneer African American Attorney In Reconstruction-Era Florida, Darius J. Young
Florida Historical Quarterly
The civil rights movement of the mid-twentieth century highlighted the key role played by African American attorneys in events of critical importance, but the actions and impact of black lawyers during and immediately following the Reconstruction era have received considerably less attention. As recently as 2000, the Florida Bar Journal asserted that "African-Americans ha[ve] been lawyers since the late 1890s, when the multi-talented James Weldon Johnson passed an open exam conducted by three lawyers in a crowded Jacksonville courtroom." As it happens, the Bar Journal erred by a generation in its assertion; black attorneys had practiced law since 1869 when …

The Ruthless Hand Of War: Andrew A. Humphreys In The Second Seminole War, Matthew T. Pearcy
Florida Historical Quarterly
In late February 1836, 2d Lt. Andrew A. Humphreys (1810-1883) reported for duty at Fort Drane in the remote interior of the Florida peninsula. Green and untried, the young West Pointer chronicled his first experiences at war in a leather bound journal tucked away among his personal possessions. "I delight in extremes," he wrote in its opening pages, "and certainly my profession leads to them - from the center of civilization to the wildest forests, I am transferred in a few days. In January luxuriating in the delights of our capital, in February suffering from hunger, thirst and fatigue in …

A Splendid Idea In China Turned Sour In Florida: The Rise And Fall Of The Florida Splendid China, Wenxian Zhang
Florida Historical Quarterly
Although Florida had been promoted as a tropical paradise to people with health concerns since the granting of statehood in 1845, the Sunshine State did not become a top vacation destination for thrill-seeking Americans until Disney World opened its doors in the early 1970s. Disney's appearance spawned several other major theme parks, including Sea World and Universal Studios, and some smaller attractions such as Wet and Wild. Florida Splendid China joined the ranks of Central Florida's regional theme parks in 1993. A high profile project, it represented one of the first and largest joint investment ventures between the United States …
Mythic Landscapes Of The Boom And Bust Weedon Island, Florida, Sheila K. Stewart
Mythic Landscapes Of The Boom And Bust Weedon Island, Florida, Sheila K. Stewart
Florida Historical Quarterly
The Weedon Island Preserve is a 3,164-acre nature park situated on the shores of Old Tampa Bay in northeast St. Petersburg.1 A mosaic of mangrove forest, tidal marshes, pine flatwoods, and remnants of hammocks, the preserve also encompasses a famous prehistoric archaeological site, which was excavated by the Smithsonian Institution in the 1920s and has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1972. Of national, state, and regional significance, Weedon Island's wild landscape carries a strong sense of place for the citizens of Pinellas County and in the last thirty years has captured community support for the …

A New Deal For Welfare: Governor Fred Cone And The Florida State Welfare Board, David Nelson
A New Deal For Welfare: Governor Fred Cone And The Florida State Welfare Board, David Nelson
Florida Historical Quarterly
In May 1937, Florida suffered from the crippling effects of the Great Depression. The governor's oflice received letters daily from out-of-work laborers, single mothers, starving children, and elderly dependants pleading for assistance and state action. Yet, Florida's government rested upon a shallow tax base making the state's ten-year old welfare system almost entirely dependent upon federal aid. Only two years earlier, the federal government had demanded that the state re-vamp its State Board of Public Welfare, requiring an increased state financial commitment, stiffer welfare laws, and higher qualifications for welfare employees before millions of federal dollars would pour into the …

Maurice Fatio made his first visit to Palm Beach, Florida, at the height of the social season in February 1923. The young Swiss architect planned on trolling for business among the resort's elite guests, hoping to supplement his New York City firm's clientele. The pace and nature of the Palm Beach scene, however, caught him by surprise. In a letter to his parents written on the fourth day of his visit, he exclaimed, "I have never led a more intense life." Describing a typical day, he explained that "one gets up at 10 o'clock to play tennis; at noon one …
Historic Notes And Documents: Harriet Ward Foote Hawley: Civil War Journalist, Sarah Whitmer Foster
Historic Notes And Documents: Harriet Ward Foote Hawley: Civil War Journalist, Sarah Whitmer Foster
Florida Historical Quarterly
Between January 2, 1863, and February 7, 1864, Harriet Ward Foote Hawley wrote seven newspaper articles about her experiences in the South during the Civil War-four of which were written in Florida. For a woman to have done this in the period was extraordinary. While many women recorded their experiences during the Civil War, very few did so for newspapers. Historian James M. Perry described the era's press corps as a group of "fascinating men." Such a statement is not completely accurate, however. Historian J. Cutler Andrews identified a few women who covered the conflict. Among over three hundred Yankees, …
Voice Of The Exploited Majority: Claude Kirk And The 1970 Manatee County Forced Busing Incident, Benjamin Houston
Voice Of The Exploited Majority: Claude Kirk And The 1970 Manatee County Forced Busing Incident, Benjamin Houston
Florida Historical Quarterly
At 7:35 a.m. on Monday, April 6, 1970, Governor Claude R. Kirk Jr. strode into an unfamiliar office in Bradenton, a small Gulf Coast town sandwiched between St. Petersburg and Sarasota. The new quarters belonged to the Manatee County superintendent of schools, and the previous occupant, fired by Kirk, was now replaced by the governor himself. Kirk's self-promotion was prompted by Manatee's capitulation to a federal court order mandating immediate busing of schoolchildren with only nine weeks remaining in the academic term. Yet, the governor's conduct also marked a new level of commitment for a county associated since 1954 with …

Historic Notes And Documents: Philadelphia Foundations Of The Wm. G. Porter Company Of Apalachicola, Judith Y. Robertson
Florida Historical Quarterly
During the 1830s, the Florida Panhandle was an American frontier and recently discovered documents show that Philadelphians played a significant role in opening the territory. Found in the attic of a family home is correspondence that evolved over almost half a century, including thirty productive years of the William G. Porter Company, established and operated in Apalachicola by the Porter, Ruan, and Benezet families of Pennsylvania and Florida. The correspondence, touching not only on business and economics but on personal matters like family, courtship, education, travel, nature, politics, and even weather, relates much as to how commerce bound Philadelphia to …
Steamboats, Cypress, & Tourism: An Ecological History Of The Ocklawaha In The Late Nineteenth Century, Seven Noll
Steamboats, Cypress, & Tourism: An Ecological History Of The Ocklawaha In The Late Nineteenth Century, Seven Noll
Florida Historical Quarterly
In 1882, George Barbour thusly described Florida's Ocklawaha River in his guidebook to the state. This river, whose name is variously spelled in the promotional literature, tourist pamphlets, and magazine articles of the late nineteenth century, enticed northern visitors and entrepreneurs alike in the years following the Civil War. Its exotic subtropical landscape, heavily forested and swampy banks, bizarre and atavistic wildlife, and otherworldly springs made it seem like something out of Africa rather than the United States. That a trip up the river by steamboat led to the remarkable fishbowl of Silver Springs only added to its appeal. From …

Get The Facts - And Then Act": How Marjorie H. Carr And Florida Defenders Of The Enviornment Fought To Save The Ocklawaha River, Frederick R. Davis
Florida Historical Quarterly
Self described as a "Micanopy housewife," Marjorie Harris Carr seemed an unlikely candidate to develop and lead a successful grassroots campaign to save the Ocklawaha River and the wilderness surrounding it against the Army Corps of Engineers' federally mandated Cross-Florida Barge Canal. In spearheading the "Fight to Save the Ocklawaha," Carr revealed an innate sense of how to present environmental science to the public, the media, and legislators in a way that swayed opinion.
Economic Boom Or Political Boondoggle? Florida's Atlantic Gulf Ship Canal In The 1930s, Michael David Tegeder
Economic Boom Or Political Boondoggle? Florida's Atlantic Gulf Ship Canal In The 1930s, Michael David Tegeder
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the 1930s, the federal government began construction on one of the grandest public works projects in Florida. More than twice the length of the Suez and four times larger than the Panama Canal, the Atlantic Gulf Ship Canal was "perhaps the most opulent single symbol of the New Deal."1 Yet, despite the labor and massive expenditures on the part of state and federal officials, the project ended within a year of its groundbreaking. Plagued by political controversy from start to finish, the Ship Canal can be seen as a dress-rehearsal for the decades-long debate over the Cross-Florida Barge Canal …
The Forgotten Activists Of Georgia: The Black Women Of Savannah, Emily Zanieski
The Forgotten Activists Of Georgia: The Black Women Of Savannah, Emily Zanieski
Honors College Theses
Historians of the Civil Rights Movement in Georgia have primarily focused on how the national movement unfolded in the city of Atlanta. More recent scholarship has highlighted the role Martin Luther King Jr. played in Albany; however, many of these analyses focus on figures within the larger movement rather than focusing on local, grassroots organizers. Additionally, their primary focus tends to be on the role of Black men, leaving behind the voices of Black women who led alongside them. Through a Long Civil Rights Movement (LCRM) approach, I argue that Black women in Savannah, Georgia played an instrumental role in …
