William B. Barnett And Sons: Florida Banking Pioneers, David J. Ginzl
William B. Barnett And Sons: Florida Banking Pioneers, David J. Ginzl
Florida Historical Quarterly
In January 1998, NationsBank completed its acquisition of Barnett Banks Inc., the last major banking company headquartered in Florida. The bank traced its origins to May 1877, when William Boyd Barnett opened The Bank of Jacksonville. During the next 120 years, with five generations of Barnetts working for the bank that eventually bore the family name, it grew to be a major financial institution with more than six hundred offices throughout Florida and $44 billion in assets. Based upon the writings of the founder's son, Bion, and other extant bank records, this study examines the pioneer banker and the challenges …
Fort Mitchell And The Settlement Of The Alachua Country, Chris Monaco
Fort Mitchell And The Settlement Of The Alachua Country, Chris Monaco
Florida Historical Quarterly
Fort Mitchell, the former capital of the "Republic of East Florida" during the Patriot War, has never attained distinction. Erected in January of 1814, the twenty-five-foot square, two-story blockhouse was reported to hav been abandoned in May of the same year. When viewed in either military or political terms, the fort was a failure. However this small outpost on the Alachua frontier was originally intended as the nucleus of a self-sustaining, long-term agricultural colony.2 While short-lived Fort Mitchell is especially noteworthy because it was the first substantial Anglo-American settlement in the interior of Spanish East Florida.3 By 1821, seven year …

Highways To Heaven Or Roads To Ruin, Evan P. Bennett
Highways To Heaven Or Roads To Ruin, Evan P. Bennett
Florida Historical Quarterly
In December 1949, Ray Strong of Windsor, Canada, came to Starke, Florida, by chance. He had traveled to the Sunshine State to find property to build a motor court, but he missed his appointment in Lake City and, to "kill time," drove to Jacksonville. On his way back to Lake City Strong decided to tak a long route through Starke. He "liked the looks of the town," and, two months later, Strong's El Rancho Motel-"modern in every respect"-opened for business on US Highway 301, one mile south of Starke. The El Rancho was not the only motel built near Starke …

Bert Fish: From Volusia County Courthouse To American Embassy, Sidney Johnston
Bert Fish: From Volusia County Courthouse To American Embassy, Sidney Johnston
Florida Historical Quarterly
In 1940, Cairo's Al-Ahram observed that Volusia County lawyer and American diplomat Bert Fish had "gained the love of Egyptians for his frankness and ability to become the friend of Egyptians, and because of his great love for Egypt he is proud to call himself 'half-Egyptian'"-strange praise for a man of humble origins who began in the courtrooms of central Florida, rose to prominence in the state supreme court and the national Democratic Party, and eventually became a significant member of America's diplomatic corp. Indead, few early twentieth century Volusia County residents achieved the level of distinction enjoyed by DeLand …

Exhibition Review, Florida Historical Society
Florida Historical Quarterly
Confronted by the announcement of 'JFK: The Exhibition" my first thought was how could there be a major traveling museum exhibit on this President and his brief administration? How could such an exhibit possibly satisfy any critic or any student of history? If, however, we accept the premise that such an exhibit is possible, then what would, should, or could it include? What might be its themes, its areas of focus?

Cartoons In Paradise, Donna Dial

Disney World may reign as Florida's most dazzling connection to the world of animated cartoons, but long before Disney there was Fleischer. Thirty-five year before Walt Disney packed Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck off to central Florida, his biggest competitor, Max and Dave Fleischer, built their own magic kingdom a couple of hundred miles farther south.
"There Were Two Job In St. Joe Paper Company, White Job And A Black Job": The Struggle For Civil Rights In A North Florida Paper Mill Community, 1938-1990, Timothy J. Minchin
"There Were Two Job In St. Joe Paper Company, White Job And A Black Job": The Struggle For Civil Rights In A North Florida Paper Mill Community, 1938-1990, Timothy J. Minchin
Florida Historical Quarterly
In 1938, construction was completed on a paper mill located on a reef in the Gulf of Mexico off Florida's panhandle coast. The opening of St. Joe Paper Company was a reflection of the expansion that the American paper industry made into the South in the 1930. The decade saw the establishment of many major paper mills in the region, including several International Paper Company mills and the opening of the huge Union Bag mill in Savannah, Georgia. Much of the expansion took place in northern Florida. Headed by the establishment of a large mill by International Paper Company at …

Giveaway Forts: Territorial Forts And The Settlement Of Florida, Ernest F. Dibble
Giveaway Forts: Territorial Forts And The Settlement Of Florida, Ernest F. Dibble
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the history of American continental and overseas expansion, sometimes the lone hunter and trapper went first, or the isolated farmer. Other timese the missionary or the businessman or the railroad line arrived in advance of settler. However, sometimes the navy or the army preceded settlement and occasionally even preceded the legal possession of the territory. Military forts have played a role in the settlement of many American frontier, but on scarcely any frontier did forts play such a pervasive and significant role as they did in Florida. The United States Army preceded settlement into most sections of the territory. …

Ancote Keys Lighthouse: Guiding Light To Safe Anchorage, Geoffrey Mohlman
Ancote Keys Lighthouse: Guiding Light To Safe Anchorage, Geoffrey Mohlman
Florida Historical Quarterly
Lighthouse. The term conjures mixed images--from the romantic to the horrific--of solitude, dense fog, blood-thirsty ghosts seeking revent, gold-hungry pirates, reliability, safety, kissing lovers silhouetted by a beautiful sunset, or of a light keeping fighting the frigid raging waters of the North Atlantic in a seemingly futile attempt to save a shipwrecked damsel. Thanks to films such as John Carpenter's The Fog or Steve Sekely's 1963 science fiction classic Day of the Triffids, many of these visions persists in the American imagination. Although the noted lighthouse historian Francis Ross Holland Jr. asked forgiveness "for puncturing a few balloons of [lighthouse] …
Unmasked: The Author Of Narrative Of A Voyage To The Spanish Main In The Ship "Two Friends", Patrick W. Doyle
Unmasked: The Author Of Narrative Of A Voyage To The Spanish Main In The Ship "Two Friends", Patrick W. Doyle
Florida Historical Quarterly
In 1819 John Miller of Burlington Arcade, Piccadilly, London, published the Narrative of a Voyage to the Spanish Main in the Ship "Two Friends" for an anonymous author, a young Englishman.1 The author, calling himself the "Narrator," recounted his earlier voyage to Madeira Island, the Dutch island of St. Thomas, and Spanish East Florida. The Narrative paints a revealing portrait of northeast Florida during the waning years of the Second Spanish Period. In his introduction to the 1978 republication of the Narrative John W. Griffin posed two candidates, both named John Miller, for authorship; however, he concluded "[w]ithal the author …

The 1960 And 1964 Jacksonville Riots, Abel A. Bartley
Florida Historical Quarterly
As the 1950 ended and a new decade began, leaders of the civil rights movement grew impatient. Nearly six year had passed since the United State Supreme Court had laid the foundation for ending segregation. Nevertheless, for African Americans little had changed. Blacks continued to languish at the bottom of American society, systematically denied the legal protection afforded to even America's newest immigrants. Forced to endure second-rate educational and social services, southern blacks increased the pressure on policy makers.
Missiles As Artifacts: The Creation Of The Air Force Space And Missile Museum, Gordon Patterson
Missiles As Artifacts: The Creation Of The Air Force Space And Missile Museum, Gordon Patterson
Florida Historical Quarterly
On November 18, 1963, Major General Leighton I. Davis, commander of the Air Force Missile Test Center (AFMTC), ordered his director of administrative services to form a committee of officers "for the purpose of providing guidance and assistance in the establishment of an Air Force Space Museum to be located at Cape Canaveral."1 Davis named General Harry Sands the committee's chairman, Major Robert White, who headed the AFMTC's Community Relations Office, was chosen to serve as the project manager for the proposed space museums. Seven years elapsed before the Air Force Space and Missile Museum received its official dedication. The …
The Florida Baptist Convention And Desegregation, Mark Newman
The Florida Baptist Convention And Desegregation, Mark Newman
Florida Historical Quarterly
Although the state's malapportioned Iegislature enabled defiant hard-line segregationists in rural north Florida to dominate the General Assembly until the late 1960s, Florida' governors pursued a moderate policy of tokenism and minimal compliance with federal desegregation initiatives in the late 1950s and 1960s. The Florida Baptist Convention, representing the largest white Protestant denomination in the state with 400,000 members, did not condemn Jim Crow until the mid-1960s, but by appealing to the primary commitments Southern Baptists held to law and order, peace, public education, and missions, it encouraged them to accept desegregation. Most Southern Baptist preferred segregation and some imbued …

"Is This What We Came To Florida For?": Florida Women And The Fight Against Air Pollution In The 1960s, Scott Hamilton Dewey
"Is This What We Came To Florida For?": Florida Women And The Fight Against Air Pollution In The 1960s, Scott Hamilton Dewey
Florida Historical Quarterly
Environmentalism sometimes has been characterized, and criticized, as primarily a men’s movement. Most of the early conservationists were indeed men preoccupied with outdoor recreation and wilderness experiences.2 Yet beginning in the late nineteenth century, women throughout the United States took a leading role in what would become by 1970 one of the most important branches of the environmental movement— the fight against air pollution. Although women reformers were never the only group combating air pollution, they frequently were among the most numerous and radical of such early environmental activists.

"Without Compromise Or Fear": Florida's African American Female Activists, Maxine D. Jones
Florida Historical Quarterly
In his study of the civil rights movement in Mississippi, historian Charles Payne observed that “men led but women organized.“2 With few exceptions the same could be said of African American activists in Florida throughout the twentieth century. Women played a major role in combating racism and discrimination, and in seeking first-class citizenship for black Floridians.
Ruth Bryan Owen: Florida's First Congresswoman And Lifetime Activist, Sally Vickers
Ruth Bryan Owen: Florida's First Congresswoman And Lifetime Activist, Sally Vickers
Florida Historical Quarterly
When Ruth Bryan Owen was awarded an honorary Doctor of Laws by Rollins College in 1927, she had yet to hold an elected office. A year before Owen won election as Florida’s first congresswoman, her contemporaries were already commemorating her meritorious work on behalf of her state and her country. Public recognition of Owen’s civic activism continued throughout a career that encompassed two terms in the United States House of Representatives, an appointment as Minister Plenipotentiary to Denmark, and service to the United Nations as an advisor and alternate delegate to the General Assembly.
