Fontaneda Revisited: Five Descriptions Of Sixteenth-Century Florida, John E. Worth
Fontaneda Revisited: Five Descriptions Of Sixteenth-Century Florida, John E. Worth
Florida Historical Quarterly
The well-known relation of Hernando de Escalante Fontaneda, the Spanish sailor shipwrecked on the Florida coast in the mid sixteenth century, has correctly been described by David O. True as a document that “should share the top rank of Florida source records.“1 It constitutes one of the earliest descriptions of the Indians of Florida and is rich in ethnographic detail. Although the text of the body of Fontaneda’s account (the Memoir) and a separate fragment associated with it (the Memoranda) have been published by True in both transcribed and translated form, this published version came from Buckingham Smith’s transcription of …
Aid Societies Were Not Alike: Northern Teachers In Post-Civil War Florida, John T. Foster, Jr.
Aid Societies Were Not Alike: Northern Teachers In Post-Civil War Florida, John T. Foster, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
Northern teachers in the South during the Civil War and Reconstruction have been the subject of various studies.1 This literature emphasizes the origins and development of the aid societies that sponsored the teachers, and it focuses upon major figures who shaped educational policy. At the same time, little attention details the activities of early northern teachers in Florida within the context of developments in other places. Florida’s experience varies from other parts of the South, and it offers, by contrast, a fresh perspective on the regional experience. Ansel Eddy Kinne’s career provides an opportunity for understanding aid societies. From early …

The Advance Of Florida's Frontier As Determined From Post Office Openings, Morton D. Winsberg
The Advance Of Florida's Frontier As Determined From Post Office Openings, Morton D. Winsberg
Florida Historical Quarterly
The geographical diffusion of human habitation throughout the United States has long interested social scientists. Unfortunately a paucity of detailed data has always hampered accurate cartographic representation of the advance of the frontier in the nation. Although the United States has conducted a decennial population census since 1790, meaningful cartographic displays of the advancing settlement frontier that might otherwise be derived from census data in the nineteenth century are obscured by changes in the number, area, and shape of counties. Florida provides an excellent example of such cartographic problems as well as one possible solution.
Southern Extremities: The Significance Of Fort Myers In The Civil War, Irvin D. Solomon
Southern Extremities: The Significance Of Fort Myers In The Civil War, Irvin D. Solomon
Florida Historical Quarterly
Although critical to American military operations in the Third Seminole War, Fort Myers would have probably faded into history after its abandonment in 1858 if not for the Civil War. Towards the end of that bloody conflict the post took on a new significance for both sides. Not only did the Union reactivate the fort in the very midst of a presumed Confederate stronghold, but it staffed the garrison with black troops— the ultimate insult to those Southerners who stubbornly remained true to the Stars and Bars. Consequently, the recommissioning of Fort Myers resulted in the largest military action of …

Florida's Fudged Identity, Stephen J. Whitfield
Florida's Fudged Identity, Stephen J. Whitfield
Florida Historical Quarterly
"No symbols where none intended," the warning that Samuel Beckett issued near the end of his second novel, would drive American Studies professors out of business and push them into an occupation of greater social benefit.1 For it is the point of this essay to find some inadvertent symbols and to discern iconographic significance in the history of a state. Florida should make an especially promising subject because of its mythic status, tapping into the nation’s definition of itself. Its saga appears to be more than a combination of geographic constraints and political boundaries and economic developments and demographic patterns. …

Reconstruction And Analysis Of The 1513 Discovery Voyage Of Juan Ponce De León, Douglas T. Peck
Reconstruction And Analysis Of The 1513 Discovery Voyage Of Juan Ponce De León, Douglas T. Peck
Florida Historical Quarterly
The long and eventful discovery voyage of Juan Ponce de León, the Spanish conquistador and explorer, has not received the amount of in-depth study and analysis that this historically significant voyage so richly deserves. Perhaps a reason for this can be found in the fact that sixteenth-century (and later) historians, in dwelling on the fact that the largely apocryphal purpose of the voyage was to find a fountain of youth, perverted the factual reporting of the real purpose of the voyage and its several significant discoveries. This distorted version continues in many contemporary history books because of the proclivity of …
The Search For The Seven Cities And Early American Exploration, George E. Buker
The Search For The Seven Cities And Early American Exploration, George E. Buker
Florida Historical Quarterly
When the Moors overran the Iberian peninsula at the opening of the eighth century, legend has it that the bishop of Oporto in Portugal led six other bishops and their followers westward across the Atlantic. He settled upon an island farther west than any sailor from Europe had ever been before, and he named it Antilla (which has had a variety of spellings). He allegedly burned his ships so that no one could return with news of his refuge. He assigned each bishop a portion of the island, and soon there were seven flourishing Christian communities established on Antilla. In …

Beyond The Martyrs Of Florida: The Versatile Career Of Luis Gerónimo De Oré, Noble David Cook
Florida Historical Quarterly
The general commissioner for the Franciscan missions in Florida, Friar Luis Gerónimo de Oré, arrived in St. Augustine in 1614 where he conducted a brief ecclesiastical inspection before returning to Cuba. Oré came again to Florida in late 1616, reaching St. Augustine on November 6. Armed with powers of visitation and confirmation, he inspected the Franciscan missions in the area and confirmed hundreds of converts. He also presided over the First General Chapter Meeting of the Franciscan Order in the province. During his Florida travels, Oré collected reports on earlier attempts of conversion, and before returning to Europe he compiled …

Slavery And The Political Economy Of Gadsden County, Florida: 1823-1861, Larry E. Rivers
Florida Historical Quarterly
On the eve of secession in January 1861, Gadsden County was one of Florida’s wealthiest political subdivisions. It and its four neighboring counties contained almost 42 percent of the state’s property when measured by value.1 Gadsden’s $6,714,880 in assets constituted somewhat more than 8 percent of the state’s total, even though the county contained less than 1 percent of Florida’s land and 6.7 percent of its population.2 The county’s per capita wealth of $1,684.19 nearly tripled the state average.

On The Edge: Blacks And Hispanics In Metropolitan Miami Since 1959, Raymond A. Mohl
Florida Historical Quarterly
On Monday, January 16, 1989, hundreds of blacks in Miami took to the streets in angry rage for the fourth time in the 1980s. Over several days, they burned cars and buildings, looted stores, pelted passers-by with rocks and bottles, and faced off with riot police in Overtown and Liberty City, Miami’s two major black communities. The incident that touched off this new expression of black anger was sadly familiar. A Miami policeman had shot and killed a black man fleeing a traffic infraction on a motorcycle, while a second black man, a passenger on the motorcycle, was thrown from …
