Florida Historical Quarterly
As the premiere of the documentary ended and the lights went up, its filmmakers held their breath and wondered: Would In Marjorie's Wake accomplish the task they had hoped for-to bridge the new Florida with the old, linking the literary musings of one of the state's most celebrated authors with a true concern for its vanishing paradise? The audience's enthusiastic applause and subsequent comments- gave them hope.

Is South Florida The New Southern California?: Carl Hiaasen's Dystopian Paradise, David M. Parker
Florida Historical Quarterly
Florida and California have from their entry into American culture been considered by writers to be enchanted states, the places to which Americans can escape to a more exotic reality than is represented by the colder North and East. As early as the American Revolution, then-Spanish Florida was known for its unspoiled terrain and its lush beauty. Harriet Beecher Stowe extolled its exotic qualities, while Stephen Crane wrote of the contrast between the harsh outside world and the escapist qualities of the state. California, by contrast, has been seen as a paradise, a found Eden, and like Florida, a place …

"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 …

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 …
Uninvited Guests: A Night At Cedar Point Plantation, Patrick W. Doyle
Uninvited Guests: A Night At Cedar Point Plantation, Patrick W. Doyle
Florida Historical Quarterly
In October 1817 a mariner's mistake at the entrance of the St. Johns River and a subsequent mishap proved fortuitous in preserving a rare glimpse of plantation life in Spanish East Florida in a time of turmoil. Documents describing these events reveal details regarding the humiliating dispossession of Spanish authority on Amelia Island and its town of Fernandina, first by filibusters led by Gregor McGregor and later by rogues headed by the pirate Luis Aury.

In 1925, Tampa's Booster Record and Publishing Company debuted its latest jingle, "Tampa Steps Out," with words and music by Frank W. Salley. The song, and many others like it, promoted the state and the city of Tampa during the 1920s real estate frenzy known as the Florida land boom. Following the United States' long booster musical tradition, Florida songbooks featured colorful pictorial covers designed to function as a sort of billboard depicting the region's charms and progress. City and state developers, hotel proprietors, real-estate salesmen, and other boosters engaged professional songwriters, including the renowned Irving Berlin, to develop original …

In April 1767, a young woman named Miss Row married a man who had proposed to her several times over the past year and a half despite the fact that he was not the same man with whom she had engaged in a torrid affair in British East Florida.1 When Miss Row married William Gerard De Brahm, a German who recently had been appointed as Surveyor General of the Southern Colonies, it ended a tumultuous period in her life that had begun when she immigrated to East Florida sometime between late 1764 and early 1766. 2 Within a few months …

Military Slave Rentals, The Construction Of Army Fortifications, And The Navy Yard In Pensacola, Florida, 1824-1863, Thomas Hulse
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the first half of the nineteenth century, expansion of the abolitionist movement led to increasing pressure on the federal government to substantiate military labor policies in regard to the construction of defense installations and public works projects. The manifestation of this pressure resulted in the passage of a law in 1842 by Congress that required government agencies to account for the use of slave labor. As a result, a "resolution of the House of Representatives lStin stant" forced Navy Secretary A. P. Upshur to respond to questioning on August 10, 1842. When asked "what number of "colored" persons there …

Sharp Prose For Green: John D. Macdonald And The First Ecological Novel, Jack E. Davis
Sharp Prose For Green: John D. Macdonald And The First Ecological Novel, Jack E. Davis
Florida Historical Quarterly
Hardboiled-fiction writer John D. MacDonald was known to fulminate with devastating eloquence against the profligate pillaging of the Florida Dream. Its post-World War II disintegration into a nightmare took form as a subtheme in numerous novels he produced between the 1950s and 1980s and ultimately as a subgenre that inspired a future generation of socially minded Florida writers.1 Having made the state his home, MacDonald sensed personal loss when the combined improvidence and greed of businesses and government leaders impaired the general quality of life. He put his concerns to creative use in cutting prose, saving his harshest words for …

Savage Foes, Noble Warriors, And Frail Remnants: Florida Seminoles In The White Imagination, 1865-1934, Mikaela M. Adams
Florida Historical Quarterly
In 1930, special agent Roy Nash entered the swamps of the Everglades and came face-to-face with a Seminole Indian. Sent by the United States government to conduct a survey of Florida's indigenous population, Nash traveled for nine hours "through mud and moonlight" in search of a Seminole village. In the opening page of his report to Congress, Nash painted a vivid portrait of Florida's remaining Indians. Standing with a poised spear in a dugout canoe, Nash's archetypal Seminole was an "astounding anachronism," "a primitive hunter 30 miles from a center of industrial civilization." Clothed in a brightly-colored, knee-length shirt, belted …

Florida's Sledd Affair: Andrew Sledd And The Fight For Higher Education In Florida, Carl Van Ness
Florida Historical Quarterly
Andrew Sledd served only briefly as president of the University of Florida from 1904 to 1909. Under constant attack during his short tenure Sledd nonetheless managed to achieve more than many of his successors. The university has never acknowledged his contributions, and his presidency has been largely overshadowed by that of his rival and successor, Albert A. Murphree. Murphree, president from 1909 to 1927, achieved iconic status when a statue was raised in his honor in 1949. The imposing figure of Murphree in academic garb presides eternally in the campus historic district.

Space Rush: Local Impact Of Federal Aerospace Programs On Brevard And Surrounding Counties, Sallie Middleton
Florida Historical Quarterly
Like early rushes to gold and land, America's space program produced a massive quest for opportunity and frontier development, this time along the frontier of space. By actively promoting and financing this new space frontier, the U. S. government continued a demographic shift begun during the defense industry build-up of the Second World War. California provided the best example of what could be called the second "gold rush" of defense-related jobs that attracted thousands of migrants to a warm climate and booming economy. Over $100 billion federal dollars poured into the state, where one in three workers held defense jobs.1 …

Beyond The Cape: An Examination Of Cape Canaveral's Influence On The City Of Cocoa Beach 1950-1963, Lori C. Walters
Florida Historical Quarterly
A drive down A1A through the City of Cocoa Beach reveals meager clues to this municipality's former life as "Missileland, USA." Few businesses sport missile oriented names as they did during the Space-Age boom of the 1950s and 1960s. Reporters no longer troll the missile worker watering holes in hopes of securing information regarding the next launch from the Cape. The number of tourists seeking out Major Anthony Nelson's house decreases each year. Today's visitors find a community whose lifeblood stems more from its broad sandy shores than from its proximity to Cape Canaveral Air Force Station or the Kennedy …

Florida Historical Quarterly
At some point in the early- to mid-1980s, probably in 1983 or 1984 when he was about ten or eleven years old, my younger brother, Raymond, wrote a letter to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), volunteering to be the first child in space. He wanted to fly as a passenger on NASA's Space Transportation System, a vehicle known better as the Space Shuttle. In response, he received a large envelope from NASA stuffed with fact sheets and brochures as well as posters and stickers that soon decorated his bedroom and filled a scrapbook. Although Ray's desire to volunteer …

Heroes In A Vacuum: The Apollo Astronaut As Cultural Icon, Roger D. Launius
Florida Historical Quarterly
No one could have predicted the public fascination with astronauts from the first unveiling of the Mercury Seven in 1959 through Project Apollo until the present. The astronaut as celebrity and what that has meant in American life never dawned on anyone beforehand. To the surprise and ultimately consternation of some NASA leaders, they immediately became national heroes and the leading symbols of the fledgling space program.1 Even so, both NASA and the press contrived to present the astronauts as embodiments of the leading virtues of American culture and this has continued from the 1950s to the new millennium. Both …

The Gendered Anniversary: The Story Of America's Women Astronauts, Amy Foster
Florida Historical Quarterly
As this special issue of the Florida Historical Quarterly has generously acknowledged, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is celebrating its fiftieth anniversary. As important as that anniversary is to the people of Florida, 2008 marks an equally significant anniversary of the space age. June 18, 2008, was the 25" anniversary of the launch of STS-7, Challenger's second flight, and the first flight of Dr. Sally K. Ride. As many Americans will recognize the name, Sally Ride was the first American woman to fly in space.

Apollo and Walt Disney. Those were two of the names making newspaper headlines when my family and I arrived in Florida in 1971. My father was an Air Force Chief Master Sergeant, and his last tour of duty would be at Patrick Air Force Base in Brevard County. The primary rocket launch site for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA), and Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom theme park made indelible impacts on Central Florida. It is also interesting to note how both projects almost by-passed Florida in favor of other locations.

Florida Classroom: Designing History: An Interactive Exploration Of The 1930s Florida Ship Canal, Chris Beckmann
Florida Historical Quarterly
Typically the study of Florida history in the state's schools begins and ends in the fourth grade. Students learn that St. Augustine predates Jamestown, the Seminole Wars were the deadliest and costliest Indian conflicts in American history, Olustee was the only major Civil War battle fought on Florida soil, and 1920's Miami was the center of the first Florida land boom. Unfortunately most high school curricula do not build upon that base and place little emphasis upon the important place of Florida history within the larger national historical narrative. Discussions of race often ignore Rosewood and the significance of Harry …
