Pensacola's Cast Iron Architecture, Cynthia Catellier
Pensacola's Cast Iron Architecture, Cynthia Catellier
Florida Historical Quarterly
Late at night on July 5, 1880, while most of Pensacola's citizens were sleeping, flames erupted from Cheap John's Clothing Store. The flames became a blaze that eventually destroyed most of the buildings west of the public square. Five months later, an even more devastating fire consumed Pensacola's downtown business district. On December 11, over 100 buildings burned, including Pensacola's two newspaper buildings, every drug store, stationery store, and even the telegraph offices. As the year 1880 ended, over ninety percent of Pensacola's commercial structures had succumbed to flames, and antebellum Pensacola lay in ruins.1
New Deal Historic Preservation For Key West, Matthew G. Hyland
New Deal Historic Preservation For Key West, Matthew G. Hyland
Florida Historical Quarterly
Preservation of local history and architecture played a fundamental role in economic revitalization of Key West during the Great Depression. With the assistance, and upon the insistence, of the people of Key West, the Federal Emergency Relief Administration (FERA), along with the Civil Works Administration (CWA), the Historic American Building Survey (HABS), and the Works Progress Administration (WPA), preserved and developed Key West's historic resources into tourist attractions, thus forming the base for today's service economy in the Florida Keys. In so doing and scarcely less important, they would engender a new dimension in historic preservation practice and awareness of …

Florida Historical Quarterly
Near the end of May 1803, William Augustus Bowles, the dashing adventurer and agent provocateur, whose schemes had ruffled the Creek Country and Gulf Coast for two decades, stood with arms bound on a small island in the Tallapoosa River.1 Shortly, newly-forged handcuffs replaced the rope and represented a subtle and effective symbol of the outlaw's transfer of custody from Indian to European control. Once in Spanish hands, Bowles floated peacefully away from the center of Creek power toward his ultimate demise in Havana's El Morro prison in December 1805. The story of Bowles's misadventures in the tumultuous post-Revolutionary South …
A Flower At Elmira: The Prisoner Of War Diary Of Wilbur Wightman Gramling, Robert Saunders, Jr.
A Flower At Elmira: The Prisoner Of War Diary Of Wilbur Wightman Gramling, Robert Saunders, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
I-want-to-go-home-so-bad. These forlorn words, expressing such homesickness, appear lengthwise within the right margin on the last page of Wilbur Wightman Gramling's pocket diary, a day-by-day journal of his experiences while imprisoned at Elmira Prisoner-of-War (POW) Camp in New York during the Civil War. Struck by a minie ball in the right arm and captured at the Battle of the Wilderness on May 6, 1864, Gramling, a private in Florida's 5th Infantry, spent eleven months at Elmira Prison. The journal he faithfully kept throughout his imprisonment is the only known existing document of this type written by a Florida soldier.1
Runaway Slave Advertisements In Antebellum Florida: A Retrospective, Matthew J. Clavin
Runaway Slave Advertisements In Antebellum Florida: A Retrospective, Matthew J. Clavin
Florida Historical Quarterly
As the abolitionist minister's observation suggests, enslaved African Americans were neither content nor happy. Indeed, rom day-to-day acts of covert resistance to brazen acts of open rebellion, slaves in the antebellum United States daily proved the lie of paternalism as even a cursory glance at the historiography of the South over the last half-century attests. Nevertheless, for anyone still unconvinced of the American slaves' thirst for freedom, there is a large cache of historical records that obliterate the myth of black Southerners accepting their enslaved status passively. Published in independently owned newspapers in nearly every significant city and town in …
"The Indians Are Scattering, I Fear": Mobility And Power In The Second Seminole War, Christine A. Rizzi
"The Indians Are Scattering, I Fear": Mobility And Power In The Second Seminole War, Christine A. Rizzi
Florida Historical Quarterly
Five days after Christmas in 1837, Brigadier General Thomas Sidney Jesup wrote a letter to Colonel Zachary Taylor on the subject of cypress canoes. The latter officer was fresh off an engagement against a large band of Seminole Indians. Taylor's force of 800 regular soldiers and volunteers engaged some 400 Seminole warriors and their black allies on the north shore of Lake Okeechobee.1 The Indian group, led by fabled leaders Sam Jones, Alligator, and Wild Cat, retreated across the lake after injuring and killing a significant number of Taylor's detachment.2 With the enemy withdrawing across the large, unfamiliar lake, and …

Interpreting Florida, Its Ninetenth-Century Literary Heritage, Maurice O'Sullivan
Florida Historical Quarterly
In January 1827, Ralph Waldo Emerson, a 23-year-old licensed but not yet ordained minister plagued by religious doubt and failing health, came to St. Augustine. As he wrote in a letter to his brother William, he found himself constantly bored during his two and a half months residence: "What is done here? Nothing .... I stroll on the sea-beach and drive a green orange over the sand with a stick. Sometimes I sail in a boat, sometimes I sit in a chair."1
Abiaka, Or Sam Jones, In Context: The Mikasuki Ethnogenesis Through The Third Seminole War, Patsy West
Abiaka, Or Sam Jones, In Context: The Mikasuki Ethnogenesis Through The Third Seminole War, Patsy West
Florida Historical Quarterly
The general flight path to Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport gives a clear aerial view of two major elements of this story. First is a direct flyover of the Pine Island Complex, a prominent greenspace that was the two-and-a-half-mile-long habitation island of Abiaka, or Sam Jones, and his Mikasuki people. During the Second Seminole War, the island was often referred to as Sam Jones' "stronghold," used by Jones and his Mikasuki leaders until the last year of the conflict.
Historiography Of Nineteenth-Century Florida, James G. Cusick
Historiography Of Nineteenth-Century Florida, James G. Cusick
Florida Historical Quarterly
When the nineteenth century began, Florida, or the two colonial territories that became the modern state, was still under Spanish rule, its residents untouched as yet by coming rebellion and war. When the century closed, Florida was part of the American Deep South, looking to northern financiers for its Gilded Age development while creating Jim Crow laws as a buttress against calls for racial equality.

Currency, Credit, Crisis, And Cuba: The Fed's Early History In Florida, Lesley Mace
Currency, Credit, Crisis, And Cuba: The Fed's Early History In Florida, Lesley Mace
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the early years of the Federal Reserve System, two crises-one in Cuba, the other in Florida-and their resolution tactics provided a potential blueprint for dealing with the national banking crisis that developed after the 1929 stock market crash. The story of that lost opportunity begins with the organization of the Federal Reserve System and the Reserve Banks in the South. After President Woodrow Wilson signed the new Federal Reserve Act into law at the end of 1913, the first task for the-Reserve Bank Organization Committee was to choose the locations of what were known as the "Federal Reserve cities" …
Republica De Bandidos: The Prospect Bluff Fort's Challenge To The Spanish Slave System, John Paul Nuno
Republica De Bandidos: The Prospect Bluff Fort's Challenge To The Spanish Slave System, John Paul Nuno
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the waning days of March 1815, Vicente Sebastian Pintado's ship was anchored in tempestuous waters near the mouth of the Apalachicola River at a place the Spanish called Loma de Buenavista, known to the British as Prospect Bluff. As the surveyor general of the Spanish West Florida colony, he headed a delegation to a recently constructed fortification built by the British and their indigenous and Afro-Floridian allies. Pintado's correspondence with Captain Robert Spencer, the ranking British officer present, echoed the unsettled nature of his mission. The Prospect Bluff Fort, located in Spanish territory, was transitioning from a strategic British …

Reconstituting Power In An American Borderland: Political Change In Colonial East Florida, Nancy O. Gallman
Florida Historical Quarterly
On his 10,000-acre plantation along the St. Johns River, Francis Philip Fatio had much to claim. With the labor of more than eighty slaves, Fatio and his partner investors established a thriving plantation in former Native territory soon after they arrived in British East Florida in 1771. Named in honor of his homeland, Fatio's "New Switzerland" plantation excelled in the production of timber, cattle, citrus fruits, and naval stores.1 Historians once suggested that lasting only twenty-one years, East Florida's British period was too brief to have much impact on the development of the colony: "too short for the roots to …

Sucking, Blood, And Fire: Timucuan Healing Practices In Spanish Florida, Tamara Shircliff Spike
Sucking, Blood, And Fire: Timucuan Healing Practices In Spanish Florida, Tamara Shircliff Spike
Florida Historical Quarterly
As a colonial holding, Spanish Florida was a provincial backwater. It was located on the periphery of empire and parsely settled. Spain spent comparatively little time and effort developing the infrastructure of the colony.1 However, it is for these very reasons that Florida reflects to a magnified degree a problem in mission fields throughout the Americas during the colonial period: how to combat disease in the mission populations while still working to extirpate Native practices seen as anti-doctrinal. Descriptions of healing rituals by Franciscan friars and other Europeans offer tremendous insight into how the Timucuans of Spanish Florida viewed their …

Throwing The Explorer Out With The Fountain: American History Textbooks And Juan Ponce De Leon, Roger Chapman
Throwing The Explorer Out With The Fountain: American History Textbooks And Juan Ponce De Leon, Roger Chapman
Florida Historical Quarterly
Someone once critically categorized American history textbooks, perhaps unfairly, as "fat, dull boring books that mention everything but explain practically nothing."1 A cursory survey of US history textbooks on the treatment of Juan Ponce de Leon and the "discovery" of Florida would suggest historical content is like an ice cube melting in the sun.2
'Gators Making Merry In Cuba: The University Of Florida Football Team In Havana, December 1912, Michael T. Wood

Two vertically arranged photographs of the University of Florida's football team wearing bathing suits on a beach appear in the 1913 edition of the school's yearbook, The Seminole. The top picture shows the squad in formation, ready to run offensive drills. In the bottom one, every player smiles for the camera as they form a human pyramid. A caption under the two photos reads, "'Gators making merry in Cuba."1

The Rise Of Jim Crow In Fort Myers, 1885-1930, Jonathan Harrison
Florida Historical Quarterly
The power and opportunities of African Americans in Florida between the 1880s and 1920s fluctuated across time and location and were affected by variations in local economic structures, migration patterns and cultural histories. Black property ownership, political participation and social prestige were in flux, impacted by such factors as the availability of public land for cultivation by blacks, the cultures of the places from which new residents had migrated, and whether the area was a new settlement or one that was carrying forward a set of social relationships that had been formed during the slavery period. Each of these factors …

Religion And Women's Rights In Florida: An Examination Of The Equal Rights Amendment Legislative Debates, 1972-1982, Laura E. Brock
Florida Historical Quarterly
Florida housewife Adele Kanter's letter was prototypical of religious women who were supporters of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA).3 Community activist and housewife Shirley Spellerberg's letter was representative of religious opponents of the ERA. Women were mobilized to enter the political arena, many for the first time, on both sides of the ERA conflict. Florida was the key battleground state where the ERA failed after an intense decade-long (1972-1982) political battle that was an intersection of religious, gender and social issues. Examining the history of Florida's ERA conflict is significant because religious and social themes recur in contemporary public policy …

Swaim Family Papers: Civil War Reports And Letters Of Recommendation For A Carpetbagger, John T. Foster, Jr.
Swaim Family Papers: Civil War Reports And Letters Of Recommendation For A Carpetbagger, John T. Foster, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
Yankee families became involved in Florida during the Civil War and in the Reconstruction. For example, the family of the American merchant John Jacob Astor owned a tiny railroad that connected Tocoi on the St.Johns River with St. Augustine; they later sold it to New York industrialist and founder of Standard Oil, Henry Flagler. The family of New York-born writer Henry James invested in a cotton plantation in Alachua County. Best known perhaps is Harriet Beecher Stowe's orange grove in Mandarin where she and her family wintered for seventeen years. The origins of these ventures remained largely unexplored as Florida …

Camp Blanding Station Hospital In The War Years, George E. Cressman, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
Preparation for and entry into World War II required significant changes in the United States, especially for the U.S. Army. Mobilization of manufacturing facilities created noteworthy opportunities for women to work in jobs traditionally considered the domain of men. Construction at camps and forts drove substantial improvement for local economics still suffering from the aftershocks of the great depression. And millions of men-and a large number of women-entered military service.
Between Swamp And Sea: Bahamian Visitors In Southeast Florida Before Miami, Devin Leigh
Between Swamp And Sea: Bahamian Visitors In Southeast Florida Before Miami, Devin Leigh
Florida Historical Quarterly
In 1865, George Franklin Thompson, a representative of the Freedman's Bureau, wrote that southeast Florida could become the "garden of the United States," but only if the water levels of Lake Okeechobee could be lowered by at least six feet.2 In this assessment, Thompson epitomized the nineteenth-century, triumphalist belief that settlement in the region of present-day Miami would depend upon a severe manipulation of the natural environment. According to the Miami metropolitan narrative, this manipulation came in the year 1896, when a widowed heiress and "plucky" pioneer from Cleveland named Julia Tuttle capitalized on the Great Freeze of 1894-1895, and …
