Billy Bowlegs (Holata Micco) In The Civil War (Part Ii), Kenneth W. Porter
Billy Bowlegs (Holata Micco) In The Civil War (Part Ii), Kenneth W. Porter
Florida Historical Quarterly
Elias Rector as an ardent partisan of the Confederacy, must have particularly wished in subsequent years that his report of Billy Bowleg’s death had been more than just a rumor, for Bowlegs was one of the principal chiefs of the Five Civilized Tribes who supported the Union in the Civil War. Although a number of Seminole chiefs, along with representatives of all the other Civilized Tribes, were bullied or cajoled into signing a treaty with the Confederacy, before the war was over it was estimated that two-thirds of the Seminole Indians and practically all their Negroes were within the Union …
Federal Expedition Against Saint Marks Ends At Natural Bridge, Edwin C. Bearss
Federal Expedition Against Saint Marks Ends At Natural Bridge, Edwin C. Bearss
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the last year of the Civil War, the Union forces took advantage of their seapower to carry the conflict to sections of Florida that had heretofore escaped the ravages of war. Operating from bases which they had seized along the Gulf and Atlantic coasts of the state, Union columns would strike deep into the interior and fall back before the Confederates could rally a force strong enough to intervene. Raiding parties were likewise put ashore from transports. If they ran into serious opposition, the raiders would fall back to the beach, where they would be covered by the great …
Election Of 1870 And The End Of Reconstruction In Florida, Ralph L. Peek
Election Of 1870 And The End Of Reconstruction In Florida, Ralph L. Peek
Florida Historical Quarterly
William Dunnington Bloxham was the first Democrat to win a high elective office in Florida following Congressional Reconstruction. Just twenty-eight months after the end of military rule in the state this native Florida conservative was elected lieutenant governor. However, he was denied the fruits of victory for more than eighteen months. After tedious litigation he was finally awarded the office by the Florida Supreme Court and was inaugurated June 3, 1872.
Journey To The Wilderness: Two Travelers In Florida, 1696-1774, Mary S. Mattfield
Journey To The Wilderness: Two Travelers In Florida, 1696-1774, Mary S. Mattfield
Florida Historical Quarterly
The eastern coast of the State of Florida is today heavily populated. From Jupiter Inlet north to the Georgia state line, vacation resorts and permanent communities front the Atlantic all the way. It is not easy to visualize this shore as wilderness through which a traveler could make his way only with the greatest difficulty, a cruel wilderness of burning desert and freezing exposure, of lacerating thorns and shells, and of near starvation. It is still harder to imagine the traveler on this coast beset, not only by natural perils, but also by the menace of hostile, even cannibalistic Indian …

A Footnote On Rene Laudionniere, Charles E. Bennett
A Footnote On Rene Laudionniere, Charles E. Bennett
Florida Historical Quarterly
The Fort Caroline National Memorial, a facility of the National park Service near Jacksonville, includes the reconstructed sixteenth century fort and an interpretive museum, the latter containing priceless American and European artifacts. Fort Caroline, established by the French in 1564 under the leadership of Rene Laudonniere, was then the only European settlement in the territory which is now the United States. It was conquered in 1565 by Spanish forces under Pedro Menendez d’Aviles, who founded Saint Augustine, the country’s oldest city.
Suwannee River Steamboating, E. A. Mueller
Suwannee River Steamboating, E. A. Mueller
Florida Historical Quarterly
Stephen Collins Foster's famous song, “Way Down Upon the Suwannee River,” has probably done more than anything else to elevate this relatively minor Florida river to a position of fame that it otherwise would not have achieved. Now the official state song of Florida, it was written in 1851 while Foster was in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He had originally decided to title it, “Way Down Upon The Pee Dee River,” but fortunately he changed his mind, and, as the story goes, examined a map and discovered the name of the little-known Florida river. Foster had certainly not seen the Suwannee when …
Florida's Golden Age Of Racing, Alice Strickland
Florida's Golden Age Of Racing, Alice Strickland
Florida Historical Quarterly
The honor of being “the first man to sit behind the controls of a self-propelled road vehicle,” goes to a French army engineer, Nicolas Joseph Cugnot, who in the 1760s designed a monstrous steam carriage to transport artillery. Cugnot’s vehicle was so massive and unwieldy that it knocked over the wall of a courtyard while being tested, and on another occasion turned over on the streets of Paris. Its top speed was from two to six miles per hour.
Claude L'Engle, Florida Muckraker, Joel Webb Eastman
Claude L'Engle, Florida Muckraker, Joel Webb Eastman
Florida Historical Quarterly
The first decade of the twentieth century has been dubbed the “Era of the Muckrakers.” These were the years when the great muckraking journalists - Ida Tarbell, Ray Stannard Baker, and Lincoln Steffens -were writing their famous exposures of trusts, railroads, and government corruption in the celebrated national muckraking magazines - McClure’s, Cosmopolitan, and American. Historical studies delving into this phenomenal concentration of reform writers have covered quite adequately its various aspects and impacts on the national level, but they fail to suggest that there might have been journalists and journals on the state and local level who could also …

Billy Bowlegs (Holata Micco) In The Seminole Wars (Part I), Kenneth W. Porter
Florida Historical Quarterly
If a group of informed Americans were asked to name a Seminole chief, it is likely that most of them would reply “Osceola.” If asked to recall a second Florida Indian, at least a majority of those responding would name “Billy Bowlegs.” The second choice would be more accurate, for Osceola was a Seminole only by adoption - being by birth a Red Stick Creek from Georgia or Alabama who came to Florida at about the age of ten. He was not a chief by hereditary right, whereas Billy Bowlegs, to use his common white-man’s nickname, was what an army …

Political Reconstruction In Florida, Jeffell H. Shofner
Political Reconstruction In Florida, Jeffell H. Shofner
Florida Historical Quarterly
Until well into the 1930s historians accepted as standard the interpretations of Reconstruction offered by the “Dunning school.” Professor William A. Dunning and his students at Columbia University had undertaken extensive research in preparing scholarly monographs on the Reconstruction period in each southern state. But they wrote at a time when most Americans considered Negroes as inferior beings and their studies usually began with this basic assumption. It usually followed that the Congressional Radicals had been wrong in all they attempted. Helpless white populations had been subjugated by selfish outsiders who plundered the states, using ignorant Negro voters to maintain …
Early History Of The Cross-Florida Barge Canal, Charles E. Bennett
Early History Of The Cross-Florida Barge Canal, Charles E. Bennett
Florida Historical Quarterly
The dream of constructing an all-water route across the peninsula of Florida to carry freight and passengers has often been discussed and debated in the past history of this state. Many plans were projected and discarded, surveys were made, and work even began on a canal during the 1930s. However, only now is the Cross-Florida Barge Canal actually underway with completion scheduled for sometime after 1970.
Henry Bradley Plant And Florida, Dudley S. Johnson
Henry Bradley Plant And Florida, Dudley S. Johnson
Florida Historical Quarterly
Florida was a fertile field for developers during the last quarter of the nineteenth century. Lumbermen were at work in the northern part of the state; the citrus industry was in its infancy; phosphate mining was just beginning; and northern vacationers and some invalids were discovering the restorative powers of Florida’s climate. Railroads were needed to serve and to further develop these diverse interests. Many men dreamed of building a network of rails in the state, and some began the project. Most failed, although a few succeeded. Henry Bradley Plant was one of the more successful. He constructed railroads, hotels, …

Bishop Michael J. Curley And Anti-Catholic Nativism In Florida, David P. Page
Florida Historical Quarterly
The four-hundred year history of the Catholic Church in Florida, beginning with the Spanish settlements of the sixteenth century, and continuing through successive English, Spanish, and United States occupations of the peninsula, has not been an entirely peaceful passage. It has been marked by periodic conflicts between Indians and missionaries, missionaries and Spanish officials, missionaries and English raiders, parish priests and governors, parishioners and United States officials, and, finally, during the first half of the nineteenth century, between parish trustees and pastors. In the years between the Civil War and World War I, the church in Florida enjoyed a consoling …
