Tampa's James Mckay And The Frustration Of Confederate Cattle-Supply Operations In South Florida, Canter Brown, Jr.
Tampa's James Mckay And The Frustration Of Confederate Cattle-Supply Operations In South Florida, Canter Brown, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
By the summer of 1863, the availability of beef and other provisions from Florida was crucial to Confederate forces east of the Mississippi. The fall of Vicksburg in July had barred access to western beef, and food stocks in the East were nearly depleted. In October, the situation was so critical that one Army of Tennessee supply officer pleaded with Florida’s commissary agent: “I cannot too strongly urge upon you the necessity, yes, the urgency, of sending forward cattle promptly. It appears that all other resources are exhausted.” The following day he added, “I assure you that nearly all now …

Review Essays: "A Nation Divided: Robert Leckie's Narrative Account", William Warren Rogers
Review Essays: "A Nation Divided: Robert Leckie's Narrative Account", William Warren Rogers
Florida Historical Quarterly
Robert Leckie is a prolific author of books concerning history, autobiography, “belles lettres,” and fiction, not to mention eleven others for young readers. His most recent is entitled None Died In Vain: The Saga of the American Civil War. It is a large book (sixty-seven chapters and 658 pages of text), and, having no footnotes, it may be described as “popular” history. Even so, there is a bibliography, and it is the product of considerable scholarship. The person who begins and finishes the work will find no new materials presented and no new interpretations offered. Yet, the reader has the …

Review Essays: "Soldier Of British West Florida: Major Robert Farmar Of Mobile", J. Barton Starr
Florida Historical Quarterly
No historian of British West Florida better understands the history of that colony than Robert R. Rea. Over the past twenty years, he has published numerous articles and books on that frontier outpost of the British Empire and has an unsurpassed grasp of the intricacies of the internal history of the colony as well as the imperial complexities posed by the large new possession. His research is always thorough, his analysis clear and often thought provoking, and his writing a model of style that attracts both the general reader and the professional historian.

The Historic Stetson University Campus In Deland, 1884-1934, Sidney Johnston
Florida Historical Quarterly
Stetson University in DeLand, established in 1883, is the oldest continuously operating university in Florida associated with its original site. The campus, which occupies an area three blocks square, is significant as one of the state’s few education-related landscapes that contains buildings constructed in the late-nineteenth century.
A New Englander On The Indian River Frontier: Caleb Lyndon Brayton And The View From Brayton's Bluff, Edward Caleb Coker
A New Englander On The Indian River Frontier: Caleb Lyndon Brayton And The View From Brayton's Bluff, Edward Caleb Coker
Florida Historical Quarterly
In July 1844, from atop a high bluff overlooking the Indian River in St. Lucie County, Caleb Lyndon Brayton commenced an affectionate correspondence to his wife which continued until his death from tuberculosis ten years later.1 Lyndon had come to Florida to improve his health and seek his fortune. His pregnant wife, Marian, and his young son, Thomas Lyndon, remained behind in Augusta, Georgia, waiting for him to become estabished on the Florida frontier. Brayton, a native of Rhode Island, began his career as a merchant in Fall River, Massachusetts. The onset of tuberculosis prompted a move to the warmer …
The Last Shall Be First: Northern Methodists In Reconstruction Jacksonville, John T. Foster, Jr.
The Last Shall Be First: Northern Methodists In Reconstruction Jacksonville, John T. Foster, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
During Reconstruction, many northern men and women contributed to Florida’s social, political, and economic life. Their efforts— and those of the northern institutions and organizations that supported them— provided immediate assistance to the needy and resulted, as well, in the establishment of churches, schools, and other institutions that endured the test of time. Nonetheless, most Floridians have gained only a one-dimensional understanding of the contributions of Northerners during Reconstruction, usually through the highly critical eyes of historians such as William Watson Davis. Of them, Davis, a disciple of Columbia University’s Dunning School of Reconstruction historiography, wrote: “The failure of the …

Review Essay:An "African Prince, Majestic In His Wrath": William S. Mcfeely's Biography Of Frederick Douglass, Willard B. Gatewood
Florida Historical Quarterly
On the evening of August 16, 1841, a large crowd gathered in the port city of Nantucket, Massachusetts, to attend an important anti-slavery meeting. Those unable to find places on the floor of the spacious square building known as the Big Shop filled the lofts; some even sat on the rafters. Those stranded on the outside of the building observed the proceedings through its windows. Among the abolitionist luminaries in attendance were William Lloyd Garrison, Wendell Phillips, Parker Pillsbury, and assorted members of the famous Coffin family. Also present was a runaway slave from Maryland’s Eastern Shore whom William C. …
Missouri Volunteers At The Battle Of Okeechobee: Christmas Day 1837, John K. Mahon
Missouri Volunteers At The Battle Of Okeechobee: Christmas Day 1837, John K. Mahon
Florida Historical Quarterly
The Battle of Lake Okeechobee, which occurred on December 25, 1837, was the last large pitched battle of the Second Seminole War. Casualties among United States forces totaled 138, including twenty-six killed. Florida’s native hostiles lost only eleven to fourteen men.1 Nonetheless, army commander Zachary Taylor and his superiors hailed a great victory, and early reports of the “severe and bloody battle” claimed that “the Indians were driven in every direction.“2 The effect on the general’s military and eventual political career was substantial. As noted by a Taylor biographer, “His victory in the only large battle of the conflict went …

Gone But Not Forgotten: Wakulla County's Folk Graveyards, Sherrie Stokes
Florida Historical Quarterly
Cemeteries sometimes evoke a sense of dread among the living, but these last resting places of the dead often offer important clues to the social and economic backgrounds of those interred in them. Rural southern cemeteries generally are remote and only rarely are sought out by those who study gravestones and burial grounds. Nonetheless, many still are used for burials, and most possess material clues that illustrate gradual and abrupt changes in the traditional and folk funerary customs of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
Florida's Confederate Guerrillas: John W. Pearson And The Oklawaha Rangers, Zack C. Waters
Florida's Confederate Guerrillas: John W. Pearson And The Oklawaha Rangers, Zack C. Waters
Florida Historical Quarterly
Secession and the approach of hostilities in 1861 found Florida unprepared for civil war. The state’s militia had disintegrated at the end of the Third Seminole War in 1858, and the attempts of Governor Madison Starke Perry to remedy its disorganized condition proved ineffectual. Perry warned Floridians that the political situation called for military preparedness, but his pleas led to little improvement. An 1859 report indicated that the state possessed only one battery of light artillery and fewer than 1,000 muskets and rifles, including more than 250 antiquated flint and steel muskets.

A Forgotten Sacrifice: Richard Gentry, Missouri Volunteers, And The Battle Of Okeechobee, Phillip Thomas Tucker
A Forgotten Sacrifice: Richard Gentry, Missouri Volunteers, And The Battle Of Okeechobee, Phillip Thomas Tucker
Florida Historical Quarterly
The Christmas Day 1837 battle at Lake Okeechobee was a crucial turning point of the Second Seminole War. Almost 30 percent of the American casualties in that engagement were volunteers from Missouri, forty men out of an effective volunteer force of 132. Among the dead was the volunteers’ commanding officer, Colonel Richard Gentry. While the battle’s American commander, Colonel Zachary Taylor, claimed a great victory, the clash was a disaster for the Missourians and, at that, was only the last in a series of difficult trials faced by the luckless regiment.

"Some Prefer The Seminoles": Violence And Disorder Among Soldiers And Settlers In The Second Seminole War, 1835-1842, James M. Denham
Florida Historical Quarterly
On November 26, 1835, Seminole Chief Charley Emaltha was murdered brutally as an act of retaliation. Against the wishes of many native leaders, he had agreed to emigrate west, as required by the earlier treaties of Paynes Landing and Fort Gibson. It soon became apparent that Osceola, a rival leader, and his band of followers were responsible. The news, when it spread, created panic throughout the frontier. At Alachua County’s seat at Newnansville, for example, Judge Robert Raymond Reid hurriedly dismissed the on-going session of the Superior Court of Alachua, Columbia, and Hillsborough counties so that everyone concerned could return …

Before The Seminoles: Football At Florida State College, 1902-1904, Ric A. Kabat
Florida Historical Quarterly
When Coach W. W. Hughes looked out at his football team in the autumn of 1902, he was under no pressure to improve on the previous year’s season. Recently hired to teach Latin at Florida State College (FSC), Professor Hughes had played football at Vanderbilt University and, when he arrived in Tallahassee, had volunteered to coach FSC’s fledgling team. Practicing on the newly graded gridiron west of campus (a renovated cow pasture), the FSC Eleven prepared for their first game against a city team from nearby Bainbridge, Georgia. Hughes, pleased with the team’s progress, anticipated success.
Slavery And The Political Economy Of Gadsden County, Florida: 1823-1861, Larry E. Rivers
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.

A Daughter Of The Samurai, Etsu Inagaki Sugimoto
A Daughter Of The Samurai, Etsu Inagaki Sugimoto
Zea E-Books Collection
Born in 1874 the youngest daughter of a samurai and former daimyo—a feudal prince under the Takugawa shogunate—Etsu Inagaki grew up surrounded by ghosts of an aristocratic military lineage. Having fought on the losing side in the wars that installed the Meiji emperor, the Inagaki family was reduced in power, status, and wealth but not in pride or devotion to its traditional roles and customs. Etsu’s upbringing and education were conservative and old-fashioned, guided by the Shinto and Buddhist beliefs her family held. The samurai virtues of honor, stoicism, and sacrifice applied to daughters and wives as well as sons …
