Cloak And Dagger In Apalachicole Province In Early 1686, John H. Hann
Cloak And Dagger In Apalachicole Province In Early 1686, John H. Hann
Florida Historical Quarterly
Stories of espionage awake a certain interest by their very nature. The ones presented here provide the bonus of valuable insights into life in Apalachee and along the Chattahoochee River in 1685-86 in the wake of the arrivial of the first Englishmen in the settlements on that river. It was a turning point in the history of the peoples of those two regions. The spies were Yamasee whom Apalachee's deputy-governor left behind when he ended his second invasion of the Chattahoochee River towns early in 1686. Reports that British traders from the recently founded outpost of Charles Town were in …

"Without Compromise Or Fear": Florida's African American Female Activists, Maxine D. Jones
Florida Historical Quarterly
In his study of the civil rights movement in Mississippi, historian Charles Payne observed that “men led but women organized.“2 With few exceptions the same could be said of African American activists in Florida throughout the twentieth century. Women played a major role in combating racism and discrimination, and in seeking first-class citizenship for black Floridians.
Clubwomen And Civic Activism: Willie Lowry And Tampa's Club Movement, Patricia Dillon
Clubwomen And Civic Activism: Willie Lowry And Tampa's Club Movement, Patricia Dillon
Florida Historical Quarterly
In 1900, only six years after moving to Tampa, Florida, Willie Miller Lowry spearheaded a drive to solicit funds from Andrew Carnegie to build a public library. Throughout her correspondence with Carnegie, Lowry repeatedly described Tampa’s rapid development and the need for new educational facilities. She argued that the library would not only provide improved educational standards but would also help to cultivate middle-class American values in the city’s immigrant population. Lowry reported that “one to one-half of Tampa’s population are Cubans and Spaniards, who, though fast becoming Americanized, stand in dire need of uplifting and educational advantages.“

Florida's Seed Corn: The History Of The West Florida Seminary During The Civil War, David J. Coles
Florida Historical Quarterly
Most students of the Civil War are familiar with the role the Virginia Military Institute (VMI) cadets played in the 1864 Battle of New Market. The young soldiers fought valiantly in that southern victory and suffered more than fifty casualties, including ten dead or mortally wounded. Cadets from the South Carolina Military Academy in Charleston also saw active service, as did those from the Georgia Military Institute and the University of Alabama. Though lesser known than these famous schools, Florida’s Seminary West of the Suwannee was one of only a handful of such schools still operating at the war’s close, …
Race And Civil War In South Florida, Irvin D. Solomon
Race And Civil War In South Florida, Irvin D. Solomon
Florida Historical Quarterly
Two Floridas shared one state in 1860, and the racial demographics and the mechanics of race relations differed significantly between the two regions. Most studies of slavery and race in Florida directly before and during the Civil War have dealt with the state’s more densely populated and economically developed northern plantation region. Race relations in antebellum and wartime South Florida have received relatively little attention. From the outbreak of the Civil War through the early years of Reconstruction, however, the issues of race, slavery, and freedom profoundly shaped events from Tampa to Key West, developments compounded by the extensive Union …

"The citizens of the Flowery are determined to maintain their just rights at all hazards; and the fair daughters of Florida are prompt to encourage and cheer their bold defenders,” the Philadelphia Inquirer reported on February 2, 1861.1 The newspaper not only relayed the latest happenings in the secession movement but prophetically established the trend for the historical view of women’s lives during the Civil War.

List Of The Inhabitants Of Pensacola Who Were Householders At The Time Of The Capitulation, William S. Coker
List Of The Inhabitants Of Pensacola Who Were Householders At The Time Of The Capitulation, William S. Coker
Florida Historical Quarterly
The Spaniards prepared a list of householders soon after their victory over the British at Pensacola on May 10, 1781, although the exact date of the document is unknown. They used this list to wrap other documents and it carries a note: “Varios memoriales dentra y otros papeles en Yngles qe. u guardan pa. en caso de reclaman” (inside are various memorials and other English papers that are kept in case of claims).

Florida Historical Quarterly
The North American Southeast remained a wild borderland where Indian tribes, the United States, Spain, and Great Britain competed fiercely for supremacy. After the War of 1812 Spain kept a tenuous hold on Florida; however, Spanish authorities could not enforce peace on the border and were unable to prevent black slaves from fleeing to Florida and joining the Seminole Indians. Seen from Washington the peninsula was a natural appendage to the United States, and James Monroe’s administration hankered to possess it.

Traditionally, library data has been designed for the use and consumption of humans, and it is not integrated with the Semantic Web. If we transform library data into linked open data, it will increase the visibility and usage of library data on the Semantic Web. Within the past few years, the calls for transforming library data into linked open data have become more and more frequent. In order to increase the value and discoverability of library data, libraries have been exploring options for making library data available and useful outside of the data silos of the library world through the …

The Florida Architecture Of F. Burrall Hoffman Jr., 1882-1980, Donald W. Curl
Florida Historical Quarterly
Everyone interested in Florida’s architectural history should know of Francis Burrall Hoffman Jr. and his connection to Miami’s great villa Vizcaya. Few realize he had a distinguished Florida career spanning over sixty years and designed buildings in several sections of the state. In fact, when the United States entered World War I in 1917, the thirty-five-year-old Hoffman may have been, in terms of cost of commissions, Florida’s most successful domestic architect. In only eight short years of private practice, Hoffman had designed Vizcaya, the Biscayne Bay mansion, for industrialist James Deering, large oceanfront residences in Palm Beach for Mrs. Frederick …

The Power Of The Written Word And The Spoken Word In The Rise And Fall Of William Lee Popham, William Warren Rogers
Florida Historical Quarterly
William Lee Popham first came to the small fishing and lumbering town of Apalachicola in 1916. Seat of government for Franklin County in northwest Florida and located at the mouth of the Apalachicola River, the town had an aesthetic appeal. Equally important, it enjoyed strategic economic advantages. As a port opening to the Gulf of Mexico, antebellum Apalachicola imported manufactured goods and luxuries and shipped them by steamboats up the Apalachicola River and beyond. They went to individuals and businesses in north Florida, southwest Georgia, and southeast Alabama. In turn, Apalachicola received timber and agricultural products, especially cotton, from the …

Ditches And Dreams: Nelson Fell And The Rise Of Fellsmere, Gordon Patterson
Florida Historical Quarterly
On April 28, 1911, both the St. Lucie Tribune and the Fort Pierce News published descriptions of an innovative land development project. The Fellsmere Farms Company proposed to drain 118,000 acres of land at the headwaters of the St. Johns River. Since 1910, the newly formed corporation had “shunned publicity, preferring to devote all the time, energy and money to development work.“1 Fellsmere Farms Company was the brainchild of Nelson Fell, an itinerant Englishman and hydraulic engineer with more than three decades of experience in directing land development in Florida. The company’s unusual name, a 1913 sales brochure explained, was …

"As To The People": Thomas And Laura Randall's Observations On Life And Labor In Early Middle Florida, William Warren Rogers, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
Moving from Baltimore to the wilds of Florida in 1827 held for Thomas and Laura Wirt Randall both promise and uncertainty. He had practiced law in Maryland and would preside as a superior court judge in Florida. Laura, the daughter of United States Attorney General William Wirt, came from a similarly cloistered background and was ill-prepared for life on the frontier. The recently married couple settled in Jefferson County, in the heart of Middle Florida, a region bounded on the east and west by the Suwanee and Appalachicola rivers and containing some of the South’s more fertile soil.1 It was …

Review Essay--Hope Among The Ruins: The Percy Family And The Southern Imagination, John Mayfield
Florida Historical Quarterly
In 1777 there drifted into British West Florida one Charles Percy, late of His Majesty’s army and an ambitious man. Born of dubious lineage in England or perhaps Ireland but claiming kin with the Northumberland Percys (“Harry Hotspur” of Shakespeare’s histories) Charles Percy had acquired a few hundred acres as bounty for his military service, and he used that, his hard work, and his family tree to settle in as a planter. He married, acquired yet more land, sided with the Loyalists, and became an alcalde, a magistrate, when the Spanish took over in 1781. Thus did Charles Percy become …

Raising Cane And Refining Sugar: Florida Crystals And The Fame Of Fellsmere, Gordon Patterson
Florida Historical Quarterly
On Friday, November 13, 1931, the Vero Beach Press-Journal reported that “the possibilities of commercial sugar cane production are to be thoroughly tested by the Ammoniate Products Corporation, owners of large acreage within the Fellsmere Drainage District.“1 Four days later the editorial writer for the Fort Pierce News-Tribune declared that the reports of positive economic development in Indian River County were based on more than “synthetic enthusiasm.” Real progress was taking place. Frank W. Heiser, general manager of the soon-to-be-defunct Ammoniate Products Corporation acknowledged that he planned to clear 1,000 acres of muck land “for the planting of sugar cane.“2 …

Finding Freedom In Florida: Native Peoples, African Americans, And Colonists, 1670-1816, Patrick Riordan
Finding Freedom In Florida: Native Peoples, African Americans, And Colonists, 1670-1816, Patrick Riordan
Florida Historical Quarterly
The entry of the lower south into a world marketplace wrought transformations on its European, native, and African American populations. As production demands increased after the turn of the 18th century, African laborers began to escape their European masters in greater numbers and more frequently sought permanent freedom. When they entered “Indian country,” African Americans confronted native peoples with a difficult choice. Native Americans could assist them in escape, incorporate them into native groups, or return them to the Europeans with whom Native Americans maintained a delicate balance of diplomacy and trade.
