Inside The Ring: Bisbee-Lee Correspondence, February-April 1880, Peter D. Klingman
Inside The Ring: Bisbee-Lee Correspondence, February-April 1880, Peter D. Klingman
Florida Historical Quarterly
The election year 1880 was critically important to Republicans nationally and in Florida. Despite the abandonment of southern Republican party organizations in the wake of Rutherford B. Hayes’s narrow victory and the resulting compromise in 1877, neither the national G.O.P. nor Florida Republicans were politically moribund. On the national level three Republican giants were in pursuit of the presidential nomination though none were to achieve it - Ulysses S. Grant, considering a third term, a move especially popular with southern blacks and carpetbaggers, John Sherman, secretary of the treasury in the Hayes administration, and James G. Blaine, “the Plumed Knight,” …
Rebellion In East Florida In 1795, Janice Borton Miller
Rebellion In East Florida In 1795, Janice Borton Miller
Florida Historical Quarterly
Soon after East Florida was returned to Spain by the British following the American Revolution, a governmental structure was established with headquarters in St. Augustine. The first governor of this second Spanish period, Don Vizente Manuel de Zespedes, carried out the complex process of transferring jurisdiction. Thus by 1790, when the second governor, Juan Nepomuceno de Quesada, arrived in the province most of the English settlers had emigrated and Spanish institutions-government, trade, church, and school-were operating. St. Augustine was a town of approximately 1,862 persons, of whom 450 were in the military and about 412 were slaves.
Legislating A Homestead Bill: Thomas Hart Benton And The Second Seminole War, Michael E. Welsh
Legislating A Homestead Bill: Thomas Hart Benton And The Second Seminole War, Michael E. Welsh
Florida Historical Quarterly
Of the many causes Thomas Hart Benton espoused in his long Senate career, few demonstrate more clearly his perseverance and determination than his support for Florida during the Second Seminole War (1835-1842), culminating in his Armed Occupation Act of 1842. The United States government and its citizens, in pursuit of a policy of aggressive territorial growth, met the stubborn resistance of an exotic blend of runaway slaves and expatriate Indians in the swamps and marshes of the Florida peninsula. Determined not to suffer a fate similar to other southeastern tribes during the years of Indian removal, the Seminoles mounted a …
Camp Hell: Miami During The Spanish-American War, Donna Thomas
Camp Hell: Miami During The Spanish-American War, Donna Thomas
Florida Historical Quarterly
"My domain begins in Jacksonville," Henry M. Flagler once playfully wrote to President William McKinley. Actually, he was not far from the truth. The Florida East Coast Railroad, the heart of Flagler’s financial empire, built many towns along the east coast of the state, and it linked them with each other and the rest of the country. Miami, which was incorporated in 1896, started as one of the villages in Flagler’s “domain.” It was virtually a company town in its earliest days. John Sewell and J. A. McDonald, early mayors of Miami, were Flagler employees. The Royal Palm Hotel, Miami’s …
Cubans In Tampa: From Exiles To Immigrants, 1892-1901, Louis A. Perez, Jr.
Cubans In Tampa: From Exiles To Immigrants, 1892-1901, Louis A. Perez, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
The Ten Years War which began in 1868 came to an unheralded end in the interior of Camaguey Province in eastern Cuba. A decade after the “Grito de Yara,” Cubans and Spaniards met in the remote village of Zanjon to put a formal, if only ceremonial, end to the ill-fated struggle for Cuban independence. The Pact of Zanjon in 1878 brought to an end one cycle of immigration and precipitated the onset of another. The outbreak of hostilities in Cuba in 1868 set into motion the first in a series of population dislocations. Separatists unable to participate in the armed …

"Rogues And Black Hearted Scamps": Civil War Letters Of Winston And Octavia Stephens, 1862-1863, Ellen E. Hodges
"Rogues And Black Hearted Scamps": Civil War Letters Of Winston And Octavia Stephens, 1862-1863, Ellen E. Hodges
Florida Historical Quarterly
At the outbreak of the Civil War, Winston J. T. Stephens and his wife Octavia lived on a small plantation, Rose Cottage, near Welaka on the St. Johns River. In 1861 Stephens, although a Whig and not a proponent of war, joined and was later elected lieutenant in a militia company. He was later its captain. The letters which passed between Winston and Octavia during the war years are replete with personal, social, agricultural, racial, and military observations. Portions of the Stephens letters dating from 1861 to January 1862 were earlier Stephens letters dating from 1861 to January 1862, were …
Helen Hunt West: Florida's Pioneer For Era, James R. Mcgovern
Helen Hunt West: Florida's Pioneer For Era, James R. Mcgovern
Florida Historical Quarterly
Since Florida's postion on the Equal Rights Amendment is considered critical in the interim remaining before the time limit for the amendment expires in 1979, it would seem particularly relevant to examine the historical roots of ERA in Florida. To do so is to unfurl the purple, gold, and white banner of the National Woman’s Party (NWP), the only organization which proposed ERA nationally in 1923 and which alone effectively propagandized on its behalf until the 1960s, and to focus on the activities of one of its key members, Helen Hunt West of Jacksonville.
Beginnings Of Popular Government In Florida, Allen Morris
Beginnings Of Popular Government In Florida, Allen Morris
Florida Historical Quarterly
As a soldier in Florida, Andrew Jackson asserted powers that stirred international protest. As a civil governor in Florida, Jackson worried about his use of lawful authority. Until Congress would establish a government for the territories of East and West Florida, Jackson took over the interim administration under a commission as governor of the Floridas, exercising “all the powers and authorities heretofore exercised by the Governor and Captain General and Intendant of Cuba, and by the Governors of East and West Florida within the said provinces respectively.“
Cyrus Teed And The Lee County Elections Of 1906, Elliott Mackle
Cyrus Teed And The Lee County Elections Of 1906, Elliott Mackle
Florida Historical Quarterly
Dr. Cyrus R. Teed seldom used a single word when an ornate phrase would do. By temperament he was an orator. The length of his sermons was cut to nineteenth-century fashion. His lectures on scripture were notable not only for novelty of doctrine and idiosyncrasy of interpretation but for supreme grandiloquence. Nor did his style differ much in private discourse. Conversation was to him but the beginning of monologue. Simple questions invariably called up complex answers.

A New Guide To Sources Of Spanish Florida History, D. Lorne Mcwatters
A New Guide To Sources Of Spanish Florida History, D. Lorne Mcwatters
Florida Historical Quarterly
Research into Spanish Borderlands history received major impetus from a recent National Endowment for the Humanities grant to the P. K. Yonge Library of Florida History, University of Florida, Gainesville. In August 1977, the Endowment awarded $127,000 to the Yonge Library to initiate a three-year project to prepare a guide to the Florida Borderlands collection. The Spanish Florida Borderlands Project represents the first concerted effort to organize and make these materials accessible.
Seminole Folktales, Hedvig Tetens Evans
Seminole Folktales, Hedvig Tetens Evans
Florida Historical Quarterly
In Florida in the early 1950s when these stories were gathered, folktales were still being kept alive among some of the oldest Seminole Indians. All of the following tales were collected at the Brighton Reservation which is located in the center of the state northwest of Lake Okeechobee. It is one of three federal Indian reservations in Florida. The Seminole words that are used are in the Muskogee (Cow Creek) dialect. This is different from the Hitchiti dialect used by the Miccosukees who live on the Tamiami Trail west of Miami.
Torment Of Pestilence: Yellow Fever Epidemics In Pensacola, George F. Pearce
Torment Of Pestilence: Yellow Fever Epidemics In Pensacola, George F. Pearce
Florida Historical Quarterly
For more than a century, yellow fever epidemics intermittently swept over Pensacola, Florida, producing a high mortality, disrupting its economic and social life, dividing community leaders and medical authorities over courses of action in combatting them, causing untold numbers to flee, some permanently, and keeping those who remained in a state of demoralizing terror. The approach of summer each year invariably brought with it the fear of a repetition of the dreadful experience. This atmosphere of apprehension and utter helplessness was nourished by ignorance about the origin, transmission, and prevention of the disease. It was not until 1900 that medical …
Colored Town: Miami's Black Community, 1896-1930, Paul S. George
Colored Town: Miami's Black Community, 1896-1930, Paul S. George
Florida Historical Quarterly
At the time of Miami’s incorporation in 1896, the fortunes of black Americans had declined to their lowest level since the Civil War. The heady illusions and notable accomplishments of the freedmen during Reconstruction had succumbed to the harsh realities of economic dependency and the restoration of white Democratic rule in the South. Increasingly, blacks found themselves scapegoats for political and economic tensions and targets of virulent new doctrines of racial inferiority, resulting in widespread disfranchisement, segregation (Jim Crow) legislation, and increasing white intimidation and violence in Florida and elsewhere in the South. The problems worsened in the early decades …
The Menendez Marquez Cattle Barony At La Chua And The Determinants Of Economic Expansion In Seventeenth-Century Florida, Amy Bushnell
The Menendez Marquez Cattle Barony At La Chua And The Determinants Of Economic Expansion In Seventeenth-Century Florida, Amy Bushnell
Florida Historical Quarterly
Spanish Florida has the historical reputation of a bleak and unfriendly place, unproductive, impoverished, and unhealthy, where governors and soldiers, friars and passive Indian converts were unable to defend their own borders, much less make the land self-sustaining. The doleful letters from officials of the colony about the lateness or inadequacy of the garrison’s situado have made an impact on researchers, if they did not on the Crown. In recent years, however, examples of economic activity have been examined that belie this picture of total dependency. There were times during the seventeenth century when Spanish Florida approached self-sufficiency and was …

The White Springs Post Office Caper, Jerrell H. Shofner
The White Springs Post Office Caper, Jerrell H. Shofner
Florida Historical Quarterly
With the 1885 constitution ratified and the state’s poll tax law about to become effective, the 1888 election was the last in which large numbers of blacks voted and was the last in which the Republican party posed a serious threat to the predominance of the Democrats for many decades. Even then the Democrats carried the state races by comfortable majorities. But the 1888 race had been an exciting election in which some Conservative-Democrats in the black belt counties had left themselves vulnerable to charges of violating federal election laws. This caused concern among them when Democrat Grover Cleveland was …
Career Of A "Carpetbagger": Malachi Martin In Florida, Mildred L. Fryman
Career Of A "Carpetbagger": Malachi Martin In Florida, Mildred L. Fryman
Florida Historical Quarterly
The epithet "carpetbagger" holds such a solid place in the vocabulary of American history that it would be difficult to describe the nation’s Reconstruction experience without utilizing it. In 1868, the editors of a Pensacola newspaper expressed the attitude towards “carpetbaggers” which prevailed among white Southerners. “While crushed beneath a grinding military despotism, hireling spies and impudent adventurers have swarmed upon . . . [us] taking a despicable advantage of . . . [our] weakness, misfortunes and suffering to traduce, vilify and malign . . . [us]. . . . Upstarts, without name, character or position in their own land, …
