Landlords And Tenants: Sharecropping And The Cotton Culture In Leon County, Florida, 1865-1885, Clay Ouzts
Landlords And Tenants: Sharecropping And The Cotton Culture In Leon County, Florida, 1865-1885, Clay Ouzts
Florida Historical Quarterly
In 1875 the poet Sidney Lanier visited Leon County, bordering Georgia in northern Florida. Lanier left a favorable account of the red-hill countryside surrounding Tallahassee, the state capital. He described the area as having long fences which marked off pastures, ancient live oaks and other hardwoods spread across the rolling hills where "ample prospects, [came] before the eye."1 Almost ten years later a northern observer remarked that the region was "exceptionally attractive" and that it was one of the "most desirable localities imaginable for several characters of farm industry."2 Promotional literature in the 1890s continued to depict Leon County as …

A Letter From West Florida In 1768, Robin F. A. Fabel
A Letter From West Florida In 1768, Robin F. A. Fabel
Florida Historical Quarterly
It has been generally accepted by historians writing on the subject that “there is little evidence that the inhabitants of West Florida were particularly aware of events such as the Sugar Act, Colonial Currency Acts, Townshend Acts. . .” and that “the inhabitants actually were little aware of the disturbances occurring in the northern colonies. . . .“1 The author of the following letter would not have agreed. His letter demonstrates that he was no Tory, had read Dickinson’s Letter of a Pennsylvania Farmer, and was well aware of the “disturbances occurring in the northern colonies.”
Florida's Frontier Constitution: The Statehood, Banking & Slavery Controversies, Stephanie D. Moussalli
Florida's Frontier Constitution: The Statehood, Banking & Slavery Controversies, Stephanie D. Moussalli
Florida Historical Quarterly
Floridians wrote their first constitution in the winter of 1838-1839 in the panhandle town of St. Joseph. It was implemented in 1845 when Florida was admitted to the Union.1 Writing a constitution that would pass congressional inspection was an essential step in completing the process from territorial status to statehood in accordance with the Northwest Ordinance of 1787.2 It had become customary for constitutional conventions to rely on models from older states. From 1776 to 1838, the older states had made 41 different constitutions, giving Florida’s founders an extensive and lively constitutional tradition from which to draw.3 They used Alabama’s …
Long Time Coming: Miami's Liberty City Riot Of 1968, Eric Tscheschlok
Long Time Coming: Miami's Liberty City Riot Of 1968, Eric Tscheschlok
Florida Historical Quarterly
In 1898, Josiah Strong predicted that “the problem of the twentieth century will be the city.” Five years later, W. E. B. Du Bois declared that “the problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color line.“1 The turbulent 1960s proved both men prophetic: from Newark to Los Angeles, the nation’s black communities erupted in violence and destruction. For much of the decade, Dade County, Florida escaped this pattern of violence. But in August 1968, as the Republican national convention took place in Miami Beach, the Miami ghetto community of Liberty City erupted into several days of rioting.
Mayor Forrest Lake Of Sanford, Daniel O. Gilmartin
Mayor Forrest Lake Of Sanford, Daniel O. Gilmartin
Florida Historical Quarterly
The Sanford Herald of January 25, 1939 declared in a matter-of-fact obituary that “Forrest Lake, for many years mayor of Sanford and former member of the Florida Legislature, died in the Fernald-Laughton Memorial Hospital shortly before midnight last night following an illness of little more than two weeks.” It was the first time the newspaper had mentioned Forrest Lake since his return from prison five years earlier. Although most of the town’s citizens had joined the newspaper in ostracizing the former mayor, local businesses closed their doors for the funeral and some of the communities’ most prominent citizens served as …
Anthony Hutchins: A Pioneer Of The Old Southwest, Ethan A. Grant
Anthony Hutchins: A Pioneer Of The Old Southwest, Ethan A. Grant
Florida Historical Quarterly
The story of British and Spanish Natchez, and the early territorial days of Mississippi cannot be complete without reference to Anthony Hutchins. This temperamental and volatile character was involved in much of the history of the region from his arrival in 1772 until his death in 1802. Barely five feet tall and slender, Hutchins combined the reputed traits of bantam rooster and bulldog. His voice was reedy and his temper was short. By bluff, bluster, and native intelligence, he normally came out at the top of every dispute, and he had many.

Yellow Fever, The Doctors, And Their Victims In The 19th Century South, Theodore B. Vanitallie
Yellow Fever, The Doctors, And Their Victims In The 19th Century South, Theodore B. Vanitallie
Florida Historical Quarterly
The year is 1853; the month July. Imagine that you are a 30-year old bank clerk from New York who has traveled to New Orleans to visit your younger sister, recently married to an assistant editor of the Picayune. Six days after your return to your native city, you suddenly develop chills and fever. Your head aches and you feel weak and nauseated. You collapse on the guest-room bed but, instead of experiencing relief from lying down, the muscles of your neck, back and legs start to ache severely and, over the next two days, you become so irritable and …
Seminole/Miccosukee Art, David M. Blackard
Seminole/Miccosukee Art, David M. Blackard
Florida Historical Quarterly
Any general work, and many narrowly focused articles addressing the Florida Seminole and Miccosukee Indians mention their extraordinary clothing, especially patchwork. Dress is the dominant art form for these native peoples. Since the late 1970s several “how-to” books have been published which are devoted exclusively to the “Seminole” patchwork technique. But until now, a book length treatment of the “Art of the Florida Seminole and Miccosukee Indians” has been lacking. Dorothy Downs has assembled in a single volume an ambitious collection of comments and pictorial evidence on all forms of Seminole/Miccosukee art. Extracting material from the historical record, she has …

Andrew Dias Poppell, 1894-1955: A Taylor County Entrepreneur, Margaret N. Burkley
Florida Historical Quarterly
During the first half of the 20th century, forest products and livestock were major parts of the Florida economy. Large lumber and naval stores firms were extracting huge amounts of yellow pine lumber and turpentine from Florida’s extensive forests and cattle barons were marketing cattle which they had grown on wide expanses of open range. That Florida was the leading producer of naval stores by the early 20th century is also comparatively wellknown. 1 Much less has been written about the small businessmen who played important roles in the development of diversified local economies by investing in and operating naval …
Revisiting The Freducci Map: A Description Of Juan Ponce De Leon's 1513 Florida Voyage?, Jerald T. Milanich
Revisiting The Freducci Map: A Description Of Juan Ponce De Leon's 1513 Florida Voyage?, Jerald T. Milanich
Florida Historical Quarterly
For more than a century scholars have been aware of the Conte Ottomanno Freducci map believed to have been drafted in 1514-1515. Centered on the Atlantic Ocean with the west coasts of Europe and Africa shown, the map shows those parts of the Americas known to Europe by ca. 1514-1515, including coastal Newfoundland, the Bahamas and the Caribbean Islands, and the Caribbean and Atlantic coasts of South America from present-day Gulf of Venezuela east and southeast to northeastern Brazil (the latter not very accurately). The map also seemingly accurately renders portions of the Atlantic and lower Gulf coasts of Florida. …
Asian Immigration To Florida, Raymond A. Mohl
Asian Immigration To Florida, Raymond A. Mohl
Florida Historical Quarterly
By the mid-1990s, few states could challenge Florida’s Sunbelt growth image and megastate status. Now the fourth largest state, following California, Texas, and New York, Florida has had a dramatically rising demographic trajectory for most of the twentieth century. Indeed, the state’s population growth rate has never fallen below 28 percent a decade since 1900; it was much higher than that during the boom years of the 1920s (52 percent), the 1950s (79 percent), and the 1970s (44 percent). Since 1960, however, a substantial portion of the state’s new population has come as a consequence of immigration. Careful estimates in …
Blanche Armwood Of Tampa And The Strategy Of Interracial Cooperation, Keith Halderman
Blanche Armwood Of Tampa And The Strategy Of Interracial Cooperation, Keith Halderman
Florida Historical Quarterly
Blanche Armwood was born in Tampa on January 3, 1890, into a well-established middle-class black family. Her maternal grandfather, Adam Holloman, had been appointed in 1875 to the Hillsborough County Commission by then-Governor Marcellus L. Stearns. That same year he purchased four parcels of land which totalled 123 acres. Her great uncle, John Armwood, had been a negotiator between the Seminoles and white settlers on the southern Florida frontier. He also became an early landowner when he successfully homesteaded 159 acres in Hillsborough County. Her father, Levin Armwood, was Tampa’s first black policeman and subsequently served as county deputy sheriff. …

Hurston Goes To War: The Army Signal Corps In Saint Augustine, Gordon Patterson
Hurston Goes To War: The Army Signal Corps In Saint Augustine, Gordon Patterson
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the fall of 1942, Zora Neale Hurston returned to Saint Augustine. She had come to “this city because it [was] a quiet place to sit down and write.“1 By January 1943, she had moved to Daytona Beach. Her brief stay in Saint Augustine was eventful. She finished revising Dust Trucks on a Road and J. B. Lippincott published it in November. Simultaneously, Hurston and Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings established a “close friendship.“2 Hurston’s relations, however, were less cordial with William Gray, Jr., the newly appointed president of Florida Normal and Industrial Institute. She let it be known that she considered …
Demise Of The Pojoy And Bomto, John H. Hann
Demise Of The Pojoy And Bomto, John H. Hann
Florida Historical Quarterly
South-central Florida’s aboriginal inhabitants remain among the least known of Florida’s native peoples during the first Spanish period because Spaniards did not maintain a permanent presence among them. It is likely that a number of the region’s tribes disappeared without even their names having been recorded. That is true particularly of the peoples living in the interior beyond the southernmost missions and those living on or near the Gulf coast between Tampa Bay’s southern shore and the Caloosahatchee River. Some of those peoples began to appear fleetingly in Spanish records during the 1710-1740 period when attacks by Indians allied to …

Defending America By Aiding The Allies: The British Student Pilots At Arcadia And Clewiston, 1941-1945, Thomas D. Greenshaw
Florida Historical Quarterly
Monday morning, June 8, 1941, 99 British citizens arrived at the Atlantic Coast Line depot in Arcadia, Florida. Although dressed in civilian clothes, all were members of the Royal Air Force destined for training as pilots in the United States before returning to defend king and country in the raging European war. It was a delicate situation. The United States was trying to aid Britain and her allies while maintaining its official neutrality.
Daniel Newnan: A Neglected Figure In Florida History, John K. Mahon
Daniel Newnan: A Neglected Figure In Florida History, John K. Mahon
Florida Historical Quarterly
There is a lake in Alachua County, Florida, named for Daniel Newnan of Georgia. Called Pithlachocco on early maps, it was renamed for Newnan because he led a Georgia detachment that fought the Alachua Indians near there in September 1812. Although it has long since disappeared, there was also a town named Newnansville which was the Alachua County seat until 1854. The county seat of Coweta County in Georgia is also named for him. But neither in Florida nor Georgia is there much in print about this man.
A Botanical Mystery The Elusive Trail Of The Datil Pepper To St. Augustine, Jean Andrews
A Botanical Mystery The Elusive Trail Of The Datil Pepper To St. Augustine, Jean Andrews
Florida Historical Quarterly
Since December 1984, when Peppers: The Domesticated Capsicums was published, interest in growing and eating capsicums has increased dramatically. Prior to that publication, little attention had been given to the historical aspects of the genus Capsicum, which is comprised of all the green and red peppers (pimientos) in the world, but does not include its namesake black pepper (pimienta) or Piper nigrum, a native of India, and a much wanted item in the pre-Columbian spice trade. Five-hundred years ago, while Christopher Columbus was searching for a shorter route to India and the East Indies in order to break the Muslim …
