Florida's Relations With Cuba During The Civil War, James W. Cortada
Florida's Relations With Cuba During The Civil War, James W. Cortada
Florida Historical Quarterly
The geographical proximity of Spain’s colony of Cuba to Florida has insured, throughout the nineteenth century, that they would share a unique relationship. Political pundits, military strategists, international businessmen, and later, historians, continually recognized that geography, history, and politics influenced Cuba and Florida, intertwining their affairs. Geography by itself, although an important element in their relations, remained less significant than the much broader political struggle that existed between the United States and Spain over control first of North America, and later over the Caribbean. Florida and Cuba were pawns in this much larger international game of chess that throughout the …
Florida, "Our Own Italy": James F. B. Marshall's Post-Civil War Letters To Edward Everett Hale, Patricia P. Clark
Florida, "Our Own Italy": James F. B. Marshall's Post-Civil War Letters To Edward Everett Hale, Patricia P. Clark
Florida Historical Quarterly
While touring Florida during the winter of 1867 as agent for the New England Emigrant Aid Company, which hoped to revitalize its pre-war colonizing efforts, James F. B. Marshall regularly corresponded with company officers: Thomas B. Forbush, secretary, and Edward Everett Hale, vice-president. His letters to Forbush were shared with prospective emigrants and used in the secretary’s publication, Florida: The Advantages and Inducements Which It Offers to Immigrants. In writing to Hale, Marshall offered more confidential observations relating to people he contacted, especially politicians, businessmen, government land agents, large property owners, and speculators, in short, anyone who might be able …

Charles H. Jones: Florida's Gilded Age Editor-Politician, Thomas Graham
Florida Historical Quarterly
For much of the nineteenth century American newspapermen played important roles in political parties. Most papers were affiliated with or were supported by a particular party, and the editor of the party newspaper was usually treated as one of the ranking officers in the organization. Sometimes editors held public office, but more often they served as advisors, ideologues, and mouthpieces of the party line. Nineteenth-century Florida had several newspapermen of this type. Preeminent among these was Charles Dyke of the Tallahassee Floridian, who guided the Democratic party’s chief journal from early statehood days through the tumultuous era of Reconstruction. Dyke’s …
Pensacola, Florida: A Military City In The New South, James R. Mcgovern
Pensacola, Florida: A Military City In The New South, James R. Mcgovern
Florida Historical Quarterly
When Henry Grady extolled the emergence of the “New South,” he was primarily referring to the advent of an urban industrial civilization in that region; his conception of the “New South” did not foresee the possibility that urbanism in many southern communities would occur without industrialization. While urban history is more than a bookshelf of analyses of individual cities, localized studies of the widely divergent types of cities that make up the “New South“ in the twentieth century would enrich our knowledge of the concept. Pensacola, Florida, emerged as a city in the “New South“ in the period 1900 to …

Wtvj's Miami Crime War: A Television Crusade, Paul G. Ashdown
Florida Historical Quarterly
Station WTVJ, Miami, broadcast sixty-five consecutive weekday editorials against Dade County crime in 1966. These editorials, supported by documentary news reports and interviews, reportedly “shook the political foundation of the State of Florida and sent shock waves rocking the underworld that were felt in the crime capitals of the world.“

A New Voyage Of North American Discovery: Pedro De Salazar's Visit To The "Island Of Giants", Paul E. Hoffman
A New Voyage Of North American Discovery: Pedro De Salazar's Visit To The "Island Of Giants", Paul E. Hoffman
Florida Historical Quarterly
The voyages to North America and along the coast by Spanish explorers Juan Ponce de León, Lucas Vázquez de Ayllón, Juan de Pineda, and Esteban Gómez are known because of the work of scholars like Henry Harrissee, Woodbury Lowery, and more recently, Samuel Eliot Morison. Andres González de Barcía, in recounting these tales, now available in English translation, described the activities of Diego Miruelo, a pilot who supposedly landed in Florida in 1516 and, eight years later, 1524, while serving Vázquez de Ayllón, became mad and died when he could not find the place he had visited in 1516. But …

Strivings For Sovereignty: Alexander Mcgillivray, Creek Warfare, And Diplomacy, 1783-1790, Thomas D. Watson
Florida Historical Quarterly
The outcome of the American Revolution left the Creek confederacy in a perilous state. Most Creeks had sided with the British and were dismayed when they learned in 1783 that Britain had bought peace largely at their expense. Alexander McGillivray, the half-breed Creek, spoke for his people when he conveyed their anger to British authorities at finding their “country betrayed . . . and divided between the Spaniards and Americans.“

Juan De La Villebeuvre And Spanish Indian Policy In West Florida, 1784-1797, Jack D. L. Holmes
Florida Historical Quarterly
Borderlands scholars who have studied Spanish policy toward the Indian tribes of North America have remarked on the notable difference between the mission- presidio system of the “New Southwest” and the trading-post techniques of the “Old Southwest.” In the area stretching from Memphis on the north to the Gulf of Mexico on the south, and from the Mississippi River to St. Augustine on the Atlantic coast, Spain followed the successful patterns established first by the French until 1763, and thereafter by the British in West Florida until the close of the American Revolution.

Jacksonville As A Nineteenth-Century Railroad Center, Herbert J. Doherty, Jr.
Jacksonville As A Nineteenth-Century Railroad Center, Herbert J. Doherty, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
The earliest railroad building in Florida, as in most parts of the United States, was premised upon the idea that the railroads were an adjunct to water transport and that their primary purposes were to connect interior commercial or agricultural centers with seaports or to bridge land barriers between waterways. The notion that railroads alone might connect so as to provide an inland transportation system was not readily grasped by many early businessmen and politicians, most of whose economic horizons were parochially oriented. Indeed, pioneer railroad interests in Florida were so disturbed by the thought that Georgia railroads might drain …

The Unicameral Legislature In Florida, Allen Morris
The Unicameral Legislature In Florida, Allen Morris
Florida Historical Quarterly
The government organized by President James Monroe and the Congress in March 1822, for the management of the newly-acquired territory in Florida, included a one-house legislature known as the legislative council. This unicameral legislature lasted seventeen years, from 1822 until 1838. Efforts to revive the one-house body did not commence until 1967.

Ruggles Hubbard, Civil Governor Of Fernandina, Marilyn Maple
Florida Historical Quarterly
Ruggles Hubbard was one of the four men who became embroiled in a power struggle over Amelia Island, Florida, in the late summer of 1817. The island was originally occupied on June 29, 1817, by General Sir Gregor MacGregor, a Scottish revolutionary who claimed to represent several South American insurgent governments. He dreamed of freeing Florida from Spanish control with support he had solicited from certain United States citizens in Baltimore and Philadelphia. His flag, a green St. George’s Cross on a white field, was raised over Fernandina, as he proclaimed his victory in the name of the independence of …

Mary Grace Quackenbos, A Visitor Florida Did Not Want, Jerrell H. Shofner
Florida Historical Quarterly
By the early twentieth century the Florida turpentine industry was at its zenith. Hundreds of thousands of pines were boxed for turpentine, and thousands of men in scores of isolated camps tended the trees for their employers. The operators of the camps in turn sold their products to naval stores marketing firms in Jacksonville, Savannah, or Tampa. These large factors then disposed of the turpentine and resin according to price quotations usually established by the Savannah market and followed by those of other cities. It was big business and heavily influenced by the harshest competitive practices of the day. Fierce …
Charlotte Harbor Division Of The Florida Southern Railroad, Vernon E. Peeples
Charlotte Harbor Division Of The Florida Southern Railroad, Vernon E. Peeples
Florida Historical Quarterly
The first railroad to span the Florida peninsula was completed between Fernandina and Cedar Key in 1861. This line aided the development of the coast south of Cedar Key, although the Civil War disrupted service for a time. Coastal vessels called at the small villages and carried products to the railroad terminus where they were transported to the North and/or the Gulf coast. Inhabitants in southwest Florida began agitating for a line down the peninsula after the Civil War, and various settlements in the area competed to become the terminus for such an operation. As early as 1866, Tampa was …
Park Trammell And The Florida Democratic Senatorial Primary Of 1916, Stephen Kerber
Park Trammell And The Florida Democratic Senatorial Primary Of 1916, Stephen Kerber
Florida Historical Quarterly
Of the many hardfought and bitter campaigns waged in twentieth-century Florida politics, none has surpassed in excitement or intensity the 1916 gubernatorial fight between William V. Knott and Sidney J. Catts. In addition, the passions stirred by that contest spilled over into the United States Senate race and completely dominated it. Although historians have written a good deal about Knott and Catts, they have failed to describe or explain in depth the senatorial contest between incumbent Nathan P. Bryan and Florida Governor Park M. Trammell.

Tallahassee's Black Churches, 1865-1885, Robert L. Hall
Tallahassee's Black Churches, 1865-1885, Robert L. Hall
Florida Historical Quarterly
The development of religious freedom and the establishment of independent churches by blacks, following the Civil War, was a momentous change in black-white social relations. Although the black churches of various denominations shared a general feeling of assertiveness and independence, the individual churches in Tallahassee, representing distinctive denominations, were not uniform in their historical origins, political orientations, or leadership styles. Following the war, black Southerners of the Methodist persuasion had several paths open to them. A sizable number cast their lot with the African Methodist Episcopal Church which made remarkable inroads in the former slaveholding states. A smaller number, about …
