Historic Notes And Documents: Harriet Ward Foote Hawley: Civil War Journalist, Sarah Whitmer Foster Apr 2022

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, …

Historic Notes And Documents: Philadelphia Foundations Of The Wm. G. Porter Company Of Apalachicola, Judith Y. Robertson Apr 2022

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 …

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 Apr 2022

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.

Constructing Indians In The Colonial Floridas: Origins Of European-Floridian Identity, 1513-1573, Daniel S. Murphree Apr 2022

Constructing Indians In The Colonial Floridas: Origins Of European-Floridian Identity, 1513-1573, Daniel S. Murphree

Florida Historical Quarterly

In 1599, Garcilaso de la Vega published his account of Hernando de Soto's journey through what is today the southeastern United State. Based on th author's romantie perceptions of North America and dubious evidence provided by expedition members, the work's factual validity is questionable in many regards.1 Nevertheless, Garcilaso's interpretation provides valuable information pertaining to the imagee of the Florida created and perpetuated by European visitors during the sixteenth century.2 In particular, one passage attributed to Hernando de Soto encapsulated general colonist opinions regarding native peoples. The explorer concluded that "all of the land of this realm is practically identical …

In 1994 the original watercolor of Mark Catesby, housed in the Royal Library at Windsor Castle, were cIeaned and conserved. At the same time, facsimiles of the 263 original watercolors were prepared using a process called stochatic lithography, resulting in copies almost indistinguishable from the original . Fifty sets were produced before the plates were detroyed. One set belongs to the Special and Area Studies Collection of th George Smathers Libraries at th University of Florida. Forty of those prints make up the current exhibition traveling through Florida.


In Search Of Community: Historic Preservation And The Quest To Recover Fort Gatlin, Scott Eidson Apr 2022

In Search Of Community: Historic Preservation And The Quest To Recover Fort Gatlin, Scott Eidson

Florida Historical Quarterly

In a city dominated by large numbers of transplant residents, very few citizens of Orlando know or care about the area's rich and colorful history or its historical figures. Local history is not taught in the Orange County schools "unless a teacher has a particular interest in the subject and makes a special effort."1 Recently, efforts have been made to curb this trend. In 1997, a small organization known as the Fort Gatlin Historical Group sought to trace Orlando's origins through a community-wide effort to preserve the presumed site of Fort Gatlin, a United States Army fort of the Second …

Climate, Community, And Commerce Among Florida, Cuba, And The Atlantic World, 1784-1800, Sherry Johnson Apr 2022

Climate, Community, And Commerce Among Florida, Cuba, And The Atlantic World, 1784-1800, Sherry Johnson

Florida Historical Quarterly

In late June 1791, St. Augustine captain Don Antonio de Alcantara sailed into Havana harbor at the helm of his schooner, the Santa Catalina. As the captain and master of his own vessel, he was held in high esteem, and Spanish customs officials acknowldged his status by prefacing his name with the honorifie title "Don" (Sir).1 A decade earlier, his arrival would have been unthinkable. His port of origin was in British hands in the early 1780s, and Britain was at war with Spain. Even after the conflict ended in 1783, commerce with Cuba remained restricted.2 More important, Alcantara would …

The Symptom Of Ethics: Rethinking Ethics In The Face Of The Machine, David J. Gunkel Apr 2022

The Symptom Of Ethics: Rethinking Ethics In The Face Of The Machine, David J. Gunkel

Human-Machine Communication

This essay argues that it is the machine that constitutes the symptom of ethics— “symptom” understood as that excluded “part that has no part” in the system of moral consideration. Ethics, which has been historically organized around a human or at least biological subject, needs the machine to define the proper limits of the moral community even if it simultaneously excludes such mechanisms from any serious claim on moral consideration. The argument will proceed in five steps or movements. The first part will define and characterize “the symptom” as it has been operationalized in the work of Slovenian philosopher Slavoj …


Framing The Psycho-Social And Cultural Aspects Of Human-Machine Communication, Leopoldina Fortunati, Autumn P. Edwards Apr 2022

Framing The Psycho-Social And Cultural Aspects Of Human-Machine Communication, Leopoldina Fortunati, Autumn P. Edwards

Human-Machine Communication

In this introduction to the fourth volume of the journal Human-Machine Communication, we present and discuss the nine articles selected for inclusion. In this essay, we aim to frame some crucial psychological, sociological, and cultural aspects of this field of research. In particular, we situate the current scholarship from a historical perspective by (a) discussing humanity’s long walk with hybridity and otherness, at both the cultural and individual development levels, (b) considering how the organization of capital, labor, and gender relations serve as fundamental context for understanding HMC in the present day, and (c) contextualizing the development of the HMC …
