A New Territory: "By Attention And Kindness, All Repugnance May Be Overcome", Philip M. Smith
A New Territory: "By Attention And Kindness, All Repugnance May Be Overcome", Philip M. Smith
Florida Historical Quarterly
On July 10, 1821, Private Nathaniel Sherburne stood in formation for the change of flags ceremony in St. Augustine as Spanish la Florida officially became a United States territory. The sights of that day must have been exotic for the New Hampshire farm boy who ran away from home and joined the army. Private Sherburne was part of the 4th Regiment of Light Artillery of the United States Army, which had been under the command of recently retired Major General Andrew Jackson. Jackson himself was in Pensacola for a similar ceremony the following week. During the past decade, the United …

The History Of The Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge (Minwr): A Partnership Of Rockets And Wildlife, Charles Venuto
Florida Historical Quarterly
The Christmas season is associated with the creation of many lists such as gifts, groceries and holiday cards. But there is another list citizen scientists assemble this time of year as well. The National Audubon Society (NAS) Christmas Bird Count (CBC), originally established to counter what had turned into an annual Christmas day bird slaughter, began in 1900 and look place at 25 different sites, primarily in the northeast United States although California and the Midwest were also represented.

Good Roads And The Dixie Highway: Connecting Florida With The Rest Of The Nation, Patrick Sheridan
Good Roads And The Dixie Highway: Connecting Florida With The Rest Of The Nation, Patrick Sheridan
Florida Historical Quarterly
During the early twentieth century, the creation of new highways enabled the United States to transition from rail to automobiles as its primary mode of travel. These highways resulted from the efforts of the national "Good Roads Movement," which promoted the construction of highways to enable the use of automobiles for both business and pleasure. This article looks at the Good Roads Movement in Florida and its connection with the Dixie Highway, the first major north-south highway connecting Florida with the rest of the United States, during its peak years between 1910 and 1930. This movement led to two significant …

War, Fear, And Bread In Tampa, 1917-1918, Andy Huse
War, Fear, And Bread In Tampa, 1917-1918, Andy Huse
Florida Historical Quarterly
In early Febrnary 1917, two months before the U.S. entered World War I, local authorities in Tampa, Florida, required German aliens over age thirteen to register with the federal government. That same month, the city's German-American Club entered an extravagant float in the city's annual Gasparilla Fiesta parade. The float, one of only six that year, depicted a mighty waterfall. The Great War cast a long and dark shadow, unleashing a flood of fierce nationalism and suspicion across the U.S. home front. The conflict gave a new focus and urgency to anti-immigration fears across the nation, and the presence of …

All Disquiet On The Home Front: World War I And Florida, 1914-1920, Gary R. Mormino
Florida Historical Quarterly
On the eve of the First World War, the United States viewed events in Europe through a filter of isolationism and neutrality. Two vast oceans had reinforced an inclination toward internal affairs and paranoia, while engendering suspicion of diplomatic alliances and foreign revolutions. But events in faraway places-Sarajevo, St. Petersburg, and the Somme-made isolation impossible and neutrality improbable.

New Deal Public Works In The Florida Panhandle, 1933-1940, Robert Krause
New Deal Public Works In The Florida Panhandle, 1933-1940, Robert Krause
Florida Historical Quarterly
The 1930s represented a time of profound change in the South as it did across the nation. An examination of New Deal agencies and their public works in the Florida Panhandle highlights the dynamic character of federal projects and their impact upon human and natural landscapes. Federal aid in the form of public works projects in the sixteen western panhandle counties created a visibly-new world for residents. 1 The construction of roads and towns in previously-raw coastal timberlands led to a transformation of place and the emergence of not only new commercial and recreational spaces, but the development of a …

As The General Lay Dying: The Diary Of A Confederate Officer's Florida Odyssey, R. Boyd Murphree
As The General Lay Dying: The Diary Of A Confederate Officer's Florida Odyssey, R. Boyd Murphree
Florida Historical Quarterly
The obituary for ninety-four-year-old Confederate veteran Charles Wood notes some episodes from his Civil War experience: captured at the Battle of Antietam, service in the defense of Charleston, South Carolina, and his presence at the surrender of General Joseph E.Johnston's army at Greensboro, North Carolina, in 1865. Missing is any mention of Wood's military service in Florida in 1861-1862. Whether the obituary writer was not aware of Wood's time in Florida or decided that period was not significant enough to include in the account of Wood's life is unknown. Like Wood's obituary, histories of the American Civil War have often …
La Florida In The Creole Imaginary: The Frontier Of New Spain In Francisco De Florencia's Historia De La Provincia (1694), Jason Dyck
Florida Historical Quarterly
"Are our oldest heroes only to be found in the colonial history of the "Thirteen Original States?""1 Jose Manuel Espinosa posed this question in 1935 in a brief article on the Jesuit Francisco de Florencia (1620-1695), one of the most prolific sacred historians of Spanish America. As a student of Herbert E. Bolton-a pioneering historian of the borderlands-Espinosa argued that Florida should be considered part of the colonial history of the United States even if it was mostly under Spanish rule until 1821.2 Since Florencia was born in Saint Augustine, Espinosa debunked what he called the "Brooke legend," the belief …

Frederick C. Cubberly: "A Friend Of The Oppressed", Nicole Brown
Florida Historical Quarterly
Little is known about the life of Floridian Fred Cubberly, despite his importance in the legal and political history of Florida in the early twentieth century. This is unfortunate. He played a key role in initiating the United States Department of Justice's decades-long campaign against peonage, a form of slavery. His efforts led to the U.S. Supreme Court's 1905 decision that secured the federal government's authority to prosecute perpetrators of this crime. In the course of his career he was a mine superintendent, lawyer, U.S. Customs Collector, U.S. District Commissioner, U.S. District Attorney, Gainesville Municipal Judge, candidate for Florida Attorney …

Catching The Spirit: The Melrose Ladies Literary And Debating Society 1890-1899, Cynthia L. Patterson
Florida Historical Quarterly
At the January 19, 1894 public dedication of their newly-completed meeting hall, the members of the Melrose Ladies Literary and Debating Society listened attentively while the society president, Mrs. Eliza M. King, recited for a public audience including many of the town's leading citizens, the proud history of the society's first three years. Society secretary, Miss Nellie Glen, also read from a report she had presented previously (privately to club members in February 1893) that in "mid summer of 1890," members of the club, "having caught something of the spirit in this progressive age," met together to plan "some cooperative …

Cocoa And Cabbage: Two Palms Vie To Officially Represent The State Of Florida, Jonathan (Jono) Miller
Cocoa And Cabbage: Two Palms Vie To Officially Represent The State Of Florida, Jonathan (Jono) Miller
Florida Historical Quarterly
Every state in the Union has a state seal and a state tree despite neither the United States Constitution nor the U.S. Congress mandating the official designation of either. Nevertheless, these seals and trees and the process by which they are adopted and modified can illuminate the political personalities and historical peregrinations of a state. The cabbage palm (Sabal palmetto) did not officially make it onto Florida's State Seal until after Woodstock and the first manned lunar landing. The saga of Florida's State Seal and tree contains intriguing tidbits oflore. Who knew that a study of Florida's State Seal would …

Early Tourism And Harriet Beecher Stowe: The Discovery Of Stowe's First Published Descriptions Of Florida, John T. Foster, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
While many living today may not realize it, Harriet Beecher Stowe was the most famous American woman of the mid-nineteenth century. In fact, she was so famous that when she visited President Lincoln at the White House, he is believed to have greeted her with these words: "So you're the little woman who wrote the book that started this great war." This statement, of course, refers to the far-reaching impact of Stowe's novel, Uncle Tom's Cabin. For all its faults, this work exposed a horrible truth about slavery: that a slave owner possessed the right to maim or kill a …

"We Are Not Hired Help": The 1968 Statewide Florida Teacher Strike And The Formation Of Modern Florida, Jody Baxter Noll
Florida Historical Quarterly
During the spring of 2010, a debate over merit pay and tenure for teachers swept across Florida. While this was not a new debate, the introduction of Senate Bill 6 by the Republican led-legislature fanned the flames of discord between teachers and the state. Calling for a merit-based system of pay and teacher retention through standardized testing, as well as diminishing local school board autonomy, the bill directly conflicted with educators' demands for professional respect in a continuously besieged occupation. In passing the bill, the Legislature created an atmosphere of resistance among Florida's teachers who flooded the Governor's office with …

Florida Historical Quarterly
On May 28, 1956, an event occurred on the Tallahassee campus of Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University (FAMU) that fused an educator and religious leader, his teachings on nonviolence, a detestable act of racial discrimination, and the passion of well-prepared university students into a crusade for social change.

Petite, frail, physically impaired, and seventy-three years old, Mary Nolan could easily be underestimated by anyone foolish enough to equate physical vigor with mental strength. On November 14, 1917, several men brutalized the Jacksonville grandmother as she endured what suffragists would soon call the "Night of Terror" in a Virginia prison. One guard had told her, "I'll take you and handle you, and you'll be sorry you made me." Nolan recalled: "A man sprang at me, and caught me by the shoulder. ... I was jerked down the steps and away into the dark ... [,and later] they pushed me …
