She shares how UCF is leading the charge in virtual reality education, how teaching students about cultural congruence can remove preconceived notions in patients and how simulation technology is paving the way for the future of nursing.

Emg Amplitude During Fatiguing Low-Load Versus High-Load Biceps Curls, Jeremy S. Wydra, Jacob C. Gilbert, Allison P. Mann

UCF DPT Research Capstone

The role of load in strength training is being debated in the literature, with studies reporting similar changes in skeletal muscle size following fatiguing low-load and high-load training. Electromyographic (EMG) signal recording can be utilized to compare muscle activity between fatiguing low-load and high-load training, but little is known about the behavior of the biceps brachii muscle during shortening (concentric) and lengthening (eccentric) muscle actions. We sought to compare changes in EMG amplitude throughout fatiguing low-load versus high-load resistance training during both concentric and eccentric muscle actions.

METHODS: Nine men and eight women, all resistance trained, participated in this study. …

The Origins Of The Monroe Doctrine Revisited: The Madison Administration, The West Florida Revolt, And The No Transfer Policy, William S. Belko

Florida Historical Quarterly

Late in October of 1810, as citizens and statesmen throughout the United States focused almost entirely on an imminent conflict with Great Britain and apprehensively monitored Napoleon's armies in Europe, the president of the United States, James Madison, quickly convened an emergency session of his cabinet members. Great Britain and Napoleon were not, however, the reason for calling the secret cabinet meeting. What occupied the attention of the executive branch was a little recognized rebellion in a sparsely populated region south of the Mississippi Territory. Two days after secretly conferring with his cabinet, on October 27, Madison issued a pivotal …

The Catholic Diocese Of Miami And African American Desegregation, Mark Newman

Florida Historical Quarterly

In recent years, scholars have revised the traditional interpretation of Florida as being more moderate and progressive during the civil rights era than other southern states. They have also challenged the view that an influx of white northern migrants to south Florida made the region and state more amenable to desegregation. According to recent scholarship, even after state government officials reluctantly desegregated public accommodations as a result of the federal Civil Rights Act of l964, in south Florida, as elsewhere in the South, whites and African Americans remained largely residentially separate. Disputes over these issues had other ramifications as well. …

Crime And Punishment In Antebellum Pensacola, James M. Denham

Florida Historical Quarterly

In the spring of 1828 Pensacola, Florida suffered a serious crime wave. The Escambia County Grand Jury with a "highly laudable determination to do their duty," found twenty bills of indictment after a "most laborious session of thirteen days. The panel indicted two men named Alvarez and Gray for murder, though both remained at large throughout the entire session. Convicted mail robber Martin Hutto escaped for the second time with a convicted burglar named Enoch Hoye who received the customary punishment for thieves: thirty-nine lashes (with ten extra stripes thrown in for good measure) and two hours on the pillory. …

2010 Friends Of The Florida Historical Society Keynote Lecture: The First Coming Of Judeo-Christian Religion To Florida, Michael Gannon

Florida Historical Quarterly

We are foregathered this evening in what I like to call the United States' City of Centuries- four and a half to be exact come 2015. Among this city's many claims is that it served as the American nation's cradle of Western religion. Here in 1565 was founded the first Christian parish, named after the fifth century North African bishop and theologian Augustine of Hippo. Here, too, in 1587, was established the first Christian mission, named Nombre de Dios, to the native peoples of North America north of Mexico. In turn, those religious institutions gave rise to our state's and …

"The Most Exotic Of Our Cities": Race, Place, Writing, And George Allan England's Key West, Philip Levy

Florida Historical Quarterly

In the late 1920s, a prominent American writer arrived in Key West. He and his wife came to this Florida backwater to escape chilly winters and to carve out time for writing. Once settled in town, the writer gradually eased into the rhythms of Key West life. He built personal connections and began observing local characters who, in time, would re-emerge in his stories. He liked boats and the outdoors life. He had an inclination toward dangerous adventures and enjoyment of killing animals as well as an ability to convey these sentiments to audiences through popular literature. While in the …

The Servants And Mrs. Rawlings: Martha Mickens And African American Life At Cross Creek, Rebecca Sharpless

Florida Historical Quarterly

The year is about 1940. It is evening at Cross Creek, the home of author Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, a simple wood-frame house set among working orange groves near Hawthorne in North Central Florida. An unknown photographer is documenting an evening of dining and entertainment for Rawlings and a group of her friends, who like the author are white people of means and accomplishment. One photograph focuses on three African American women who are standing in a row and singing, their eyes cast upward, accompanied by a man on the harmonica. A second man leans on the head of a guitar, …

From Adventure Travel To Leisure Tourism: The Florida Letters Of William Drysdale In The New York Times, 1884-1893, Jesus Mendez

Florida Historical Quarterly

William Drysdale was a fixture in newspaper circles of New York City in the late nineteenth century, a reporter and writer whose powers of observation and social commentary made him equally at home covering famous legal battles of the time or describing his travels over many years in the United States, Bermuda, the Bahamas, Mexico, the Caribbean and Europe. Fortunately for Florida, some of Drysdale's best literary pages chronicled important decades for the young state that would eventually build its fortune and its future on tourism. For 24 years, he wrote, often under the thinly disguised pseudonym of "W.D.", more …

A Boy And His Fawn: Parallel Animals In A Trip To Florida For Health And Sport And The Yearling, Kathryn Seidel

Florida Historical Quarterly

In Florida literature, the relationship between people and animals is ubiquitous and complex. Whether animals are hunted, eaten, despised, or cherished as companions and pets, animals express the authors' attempt to conceptualize nature and to understand the role of humans within the natural world of Florida.1 When the main characters of the novels are boys, the themes of nature interweave with those of the coming-of-age novel in which the maturation of the boy depends on learning the skills, responsibilities, and character traits associated with manhood.2

Administrative Recalcitrance And Government Intervention: Desegregation At The University Of Florida, 1962-1972, Jessica Clawson

Florida Historical Quarterly

The desegregation of American schools in the wake of the Supreme Court's 1954 Brown v. Board of Education was often long, slow, violent, and varied considerably based on location, leadership, and community attitudes.1 The national political climate also influenced local responses to desegregation, as grassroots conservatism took hold in the post-war era.2 Although white segregationists made pledges never to submit to racial integration, many southern white leaders subtly and strategically accommodated civil rights activists and the federal government. Their compromises helped preserve white elite priorities while casting the struggle against civil rights activists as part of a national battle to …

"Secrecy Has No Excuse": The Florida Land Boom, Tourism, And The 1926 Smallpox Epidemic In Tampa And Miami, Eric Jarvis

Florida Historical Quarterly

Historians frequently have identified the period from roughly 1921 to 1926 in Florida as the Land Boom, or simply, the Boom. It is usually analyzed through the prism of the Roaring Twenties in the United States, a time best symbolized in the state by a frenzied real estate market, overinflated land prices, and massive speculation. Miami and south Florida received much of the attention, but there were important aspects of boomtime mania in many parts of the state, including the Tampa area. A booster-driven public relations blitz made up of promotional advertising, business propaganda, and glowing press releases fuelled the …

Cuban Exiles In Key West During The Ten Years' War, 1868-1878, Antonio Rafael De La Cova

Florida Historical Quarterly

The upheaval of the Cuban Ten Years' War (10 October 1868-10 February 1878) prompted the largest number of refugees fleeing the island to settle ninety miles away in Key West, Florida, the southernmost point of the United States. Although the expatriates transformed the physical landscape of the coral and limestone reef and modified its social, economic, and political order, there has been no demographic study or precise statistics on the Cubans in Key West during that decade. Likewise, accurate statistical data is lacking for Cubans in the United States throughout the nineteenth century. In 1870, Key West had the second …

A Translation History Of Fontaneda, Peter Ferdinando

Florida Historical Quarterly

The captivity of Hernando de Escalante Fontaneda by the Calusa Indians led to the creation of a series of documents that vividly depict the indigenous peoples of southern Florida. These writings clearly have proto-ethnographic qualities. Students of Florida history and archaeology have frequently utilized this information to better understand native peoples who lived on the peninsula.2 In the case of Fontaneda's writings, however, we must ask vital questions about translation. He wrote in sixteenth century Spanish, yet the current lingua franca of the academic and research community in the United States is the English of the twenty-first century. This paper …

Florida Historical Quarterly

In Majorie Kinnan Rawlings' autobiographical Cross Creek, the author recalls the actions taken in her orange grove while preparing for a freeze: "Night came and the temperature dropped steadily. The fatal 28 came at midnight and I gave word for the lighting of the fires ... The work is so cruel that it seems to me the least I can do is take care of the men properly ... There is a healthy challenge and danger and a certain spiritual sustenance comes from fighting it. For all the losses they have cost me, I would not choose to have lived …

Murder, Insanity And The Efficacy Of Woman's Role: The Gwendolyn Hoyt Case, George B. Crawford

Florida Historical Quarterly

Shortly before 1 a.m. on 20 September 1957 Gwendolyn Hoyt, a 32-year-old Tampa housewife, lost any semblance of self-possession as she flew into a rage and crushed her husband's forehead and face with a baseball bat. Her subsequent trial for murder initiated a lengthy series of legal proceedings that highlighted the power of a shared assumption about the role of women in U.S. society during the 1950's. Despite the emergence of social, economic and intellectual forces to challenge such a conception, the notion of a legally sanctioned, prescribed woman's role informed the treatment of the case by attorneys, judges and …

Thomas De Saliere Tucker: Reconciling Industrial And Liberal Arts Education At Florida's Normal School For Colored Teachers, 1887-1901, Peter A. Dumbuya

Florida Historical Quarterly

At one and the same time, Thomas de Saliere Tucker's life and career in academia exemplified the triumph of liberty and human rights over slavery in the second half of the 19th century and the difficulty often encountered by those who challenged the long-held notion that equal education could be provided to blacks and whites in separate but equal educational institutions. In 1889 the Florida Superintendent of Public Instruction proclaimed that "it has become a settled policy in the State that competent colored teachers shall be employed to teach the colored children and youth."1 Seven years later, the United States …

William Augustus Bowles On The Gulf Coast, 1787-1803: Unraveling A Labyrinthine Conumdrum, Gilbert C. Din

Florida Historical Quarterly

Colorful William Augustus Bowles has presented problems to historians for as long as they have written about him. He purposely promoted confusion about himself to inflate his personality and achievements, and historians unacquainted with his devious machinations made them worse by repeating them. One egregious error mixed him up with Billy Bowlegs (Holata Micco), a nineteenth-century Seminole chief, and he sometimes was called Billy Bowles, a moniker absent in the multitude of contemporary documents written by and about him.1 The most common mistake describes him as the director general of the Creeks. Though Bowles gained military sway over a group …

The Jacksonville Mutiny Of 1865, John F. Fannin

Florida Historical Quarterly

In the fall of 1865, white officers of the 3rd Regiment, United States Colored Troops (3rd USCT) hung a black enlisted man by his thumbs on the Jacksonville parade ground-a misdemeanor-level punishment-for stealing a jar of molasses from the field kitchen. Black soldiers gathered around the officers standing in front of the dangling prisoner and loudly objected to the thumb-hanging. The protest quickly turned into a melee in which enlisted soldiers and officers exchanged gunfire and grappled hand-to-hand. Subsequently, six soldiers would be tried for mutiny and executed. Another seven received lengthy prison sentences and one was released without penalty. …
