Historiography Of Nineteenth-Century Florida, James G. Cusick
Historiography Of Nineteenth-Century Florida, James G. Cusick
Florida Historical Quarterly
When the nineteenth century began, Florida, or the two colonial territories that became the modern state, was still under Spanish rule, its residents untouched as yet by coming rebellion and war. When the century closed, Florida was part of the American Deep South, looking to northern financiers for its Gilded Age development while creating Jim Crow laws as a buttress against calls for racial equality.
500 Years Of Florida History - The Nineteenth Century To 1877, Connie L. Lester
500 Years Of Florida History - The Nineteenth Century To 1877, Connie L. Lester
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the course of the first seven decades of the nineteenth century Floridians lived under Spanish rule (1784-1821) and spent more than two decades as a territory of the United States before gaining statehood. Florida joined the Confederate States during the Civil War. By the time Florida re-emerged from Reconstruction, the modern world of railroads, industrial capitalism, and urbanization characterized the United States. The essays that constitute this special issue document the transformation of Florida from its colonial period through the era of slavery, the Seminole and Civil wars to the post-emancipation rise of an African American physician. Future scholars …

Republica De Bandidos: The Prospect Bluff Fort's Challenge To The Spanish Slave System, John Paul Nuno
Republica De Bandidos: The Prospect Bluff Fort's Challenge To The Spanish Slave System, John Paul Nuno
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the waning days of March 1815, Vicente Sebastian Pintado's ship was anchored in tempestuous waters near the mouth of the Apalachicola River at a place the Spanish called Loma de Buenavista, known to the British as Prospect Bluff. As the surveyor general of the Spanish West Florida colony, he headed a delegation to a recently constructed fortification built by the British and their indigenous and Afro-Floridian allies. Pintado's correspondence with Captain Robert Spencer, the ranking British officer present, echoed the unsettled nature of his mission. The Prospect Bluff Fort, located in Spanish territory, was transitioning from a strategic British …
Reconstituting Power In An American Borderland: Political Change In Colonial East Florida, Nancy O. Gallman
Reconstituting Power In An American Borderland: Political Change In Colonial East Florida, Nancy O. Gallman
Florida Historical Quarterly
On his 10,000-acre plantation along the St. Johns River, Francis Philip Fatio had much to claim. With the labor of more than eighty slaves, Fatio and his partner investors established a thriving plantation in former Native territory soon after they arrived in British East Florida in 1771. Named in honor of his homeland, Fatio's "New Switzerland" plantation excelled in the production of timber, cattle, citrus fruits, and naval stores.1 Historians once suggested that lasting only twenty-one years, East Florida's British period was too brief to have much impact on the development of the colony: "too short for the roots to …

Sucking, Blood, And Fire: Timucuan Healing Practices In Spanish Florida, Tamara Shircliff Spike
Florida Historical Quarterly
As a colonial holding, Spanish Florida was a provincial backwater. It was located on the periphery of empire and parsely settled. Spain spent comparatively little time and effort developing the infrastructure of the colony.1 However, it is for these very reasons that Florida reflects to a magnified degree a problem in mission fields throughout the Americas during the colonial period: how to combat disease in the mission populations while still working to extirpate Native practices seen as anti-doctrinal. Descriptions of healing rituals by Franciscan friars and other Europeans offer tremendous insight into how the Timucuans of Spanish Florida viewed their …

Throwing The Explorer Out With The Fountain: American History Textbooks And Juan Ponce De Leon, Roger Chapman
Throwing The Explorer Out With The Fountain: American History Textbooks And Juan Ponce De Leon, Roger Chapman
Florida Historical Quarterly
Someone once critically categorized American history textbooks, perhaps unfairly, as "fat, dull boring books that mention everything but explain practically nothing."1 A cursory survey of US history textbooks on the treatment of Juan Ponce de Leon and the "discovery" of Florida would suggest historical content is like an ice cube melting in the sun.2
Religion And Women's Rights In Florida: An Examination Of The Equal Rights Amendment Legislative Debates, 1972-1982, Laura E. Brock
Religion And Women's Rights In Florida: An Examination Of The Equal Rights Amendment Legislative Debates, 1972-1982, Laura E. Brock
Florida Historical Quarterly
Florida housewife Adele Kanter's letter was prototypical of religious women who were supporters of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA).3 Community activist and housewife Shirley Spellerberg's letter was representative of religious opponents of the ERA. Women were mobilized to enter the political arena, many for the first time, on both sides of the ERA conflict. Florida was the key battleground state where the ERA failed after an intense decade-long (1972-1982) political battle that was an intersection of religious, gender and social issues. Examining the history of Florida's ERA conflict is significant because religious and social themes recur in contemporary public policy …

Between Swamp And Sea: Bahamian Visitors In Southeast Florida Before Miami, Devin Leigh
Between Swamp And Sea: Bahamian Visitors In Southeast Florida Before Miami, Devin Leigh
Florida Historical Quarterly
In 1865, George Franklin Thompson, a representative of the Freedman's Bureau, wrote that southeast Florida could become the "garden of the United States," but only if the water levels of Lake Okeechobee could be lowered by at least six feet.2 In this assessment, Thompson epitomized the nineteenth-century, triumphalist belief that settlement in the region of present-day Miami would depend upon a severe manipulation of the natural environment. According to the Miami metropolitan narrative, this manipulation came in the year 1896, when a widowed heiress and "plucky" pioneer from Cleveland named Julia Tuttle capitalized on the Great Freeze of 1894-1895, and …

Mayhem And Murder In The East Florida Frontier 1783-1789, Diane Boucher
Mayhem And Murder In The East Florida Frontier 1783-1789, Diane Boucher
Florida Historical Quarterly
Historians of late eighteenth-century Florida usually distinguish between the British period (1763-1783) and the second Spanish period (1783-1821), a distinction that sometimes obscures the permanence of inhabitants interacting in the region. U.S. historians tend to view Florida history within the context of national politics and the inevitable U.S. acquisition of the territory, a perspective that underplays the importance of the region to frontier and Atlantic world history and minimizes the interpretation that throughout the British and Spanish periods (1763-1821) East Florida was embroiled in regional and Atlantic conflicts. More recently, historians have re-envisioned East Florida history as a sustained struggle …
Slanders And Sodomy: Studying The Past Through Colonial Crime Investigation, James G. Cusick
Slanders And Sodomy: Studying The Past Through Colonial Crime Investigation, James G. Cusick
Florida Historical Quarterly
Between 1784 and 1821, Spanish officials in St. Augustine regularly launched investigations into crime, covering cases that included slander, theft, burglary, assault, wounding, murder, and sex crimes, as well as specifically military offenses, like desertion. The records of their detective work are contained in the criminal court proceedings of the East Florida Papers, a well-preserved archive of what might be called C-CSI (or colonial crime scene investigation). In contrast to surviving records from earlier parts of the colonial period, which overwhelmingly describe highlevel crimes against Church and Crown such as heresy, piracy, and revolt, the cases in the East Florida …

Florida Historical Quarterly
Although the first underwater archaeological investigations in St. Augustine waters were conducted in the late 1970s, the first extensive, research-oriented archaeological survey seeking to discover and study historic shipwreck sites in the area took place in 1995.1 This project used a marine magnetometer deployed from a research vessel to search an area encompassing the estimated location of the historic inlet to St. Augustine, a notorious but unavoidable hazard for shipping to and from the colonial capital.2 This survey was conducted by a non-profit research organization known as Southern Oceans Archaeological Research (SOAR), and led to the discovery of a number …

Wishing That Right May Prevail: Ethan Allen Hitchcock And The Florida War, C. S. Monaco
Wishing That Right May Prevail: Ethan Allen Hitchcock And The Florida War, C. S. Monaco
Florida Historical Quarterly
On a spring evening in 1841, Major Ethan A. Hitchcock (1798-1870), mindful of the rare privilege of spending a night alone in a "small neat house" overlooking Tampa bay, rather than encamped in the East Florida wilderness, opened a trunk containing his flute and some sheet music and proceeded to play a few pieces. Pausing for a moment, he put his instrument down and walked over to an open window where he "sat in the light of the moon." As the air blew gently, Hitchcock was overcome by a rush of feeling. "I could haye wept," he confided to his …

New Systems, Established Traditions: Governor James Grant's Indian Diplomacy And The Evolution Of British Colonial Policy, 1760-1771, James L. Hill
Florida Historical Quarterly
Grant, the first governor of the British province of East Florida, arrived at St. Augustine in 1763 with a determination to prioritize Indian diplomacy. He desperately wanted to avoid violence between settlers and the neighboring Creek Indians, as he feared that internecine warfare on the frontier would scare potential immigrants from moving to the colony. The governor sought peaceful relations, not as a humanitarian aim, but as a means of advancing his goal of developing East Florida. To this end, Grant devised what he called a "new system" for the management of Indian affairs. This "new system," actually relied on …

The John's Committee: A Historiographic Essay, Judith G. Poucher
Florida Historical Quarterly
As more Johns Committee sources become available in both traditional and online format, scholars can benefit rom an analysis of key primary and secondary sources on the Committee. This essay examines the evolution of Johns Committee historiography, originating with Steven F. Lawson and followed by the works of James Schnur, Stacy Braukman, Judith Poucher, and Karen L. Graves. The latter four authors are the only scholars who have written both book-length studies and articles solely on the Committee. The essay concludes with a review of recent developments inJohns Committee historiography.

Bootlegging Aliens: Unsanctioned Immigration And The Underground Economy Of Smuggling From Cuba During Prohibition, Lisa Lindquist Dorr
Florida Historical Quarterly
Adolinae Marcinskas seems an unlikely candidate to be derided as an illegal immigrant. She had lived in New Jersey from 1907 to 1921, married there and had two children who were American citizens. But for some reason, her husband convinced her that life would be better back in their native Lithuania, and in 1921 he sent her and her children there, promising that he would soon follow. He never did, and in December 1922, she decided to return to the United States on her own, hoping to reunite with her husband. As a woman traveling alone, however, entering the United …

Florida Historical Quarterly
On the morning of November 2, 1920, Moses Norman went to the polls in his hometown of Ocoee, Florida, to cast his ballot. Norman was a prominent black man in the small community, owning property that included a productive citrus grove. When he tried to vote, the poll workers turned him away and told him to go home, claiming that he had not properly registered or paid his poll tax. Norman then drove the thirteen miles to Orlando, where he met with John M. Cheney, a prominent Orlando lawyer, Republican candidate for the United States Senate, and trustee of Rollins …

Perfectly Still No More: Unionists In Confederate Northeast Florida, T. W. Upchurch
Florida Historical Quarterly
James William Allen's career as a Confederate soldier lasted only six months; he doubled over with a hernia and was discharged on the last day of 1861.2 His reaction to this medical condition is unknown since Allen left no letters,journal, or public pronouncement. Did he have dreams of military glory that were squashed by his rather inglorious medical condition? After all, Allen's unit, the St. Augustine Blues, had moved only 60 miles up the road to Fernandina.3 He had not left his home state nor, we assume, had he fired a weapon except to practice his marksmanship. However, judging by …
