Fort Foster: A Second Seminole War Fort, Michael G. Schene
Fort Foster: A Second Seminole War Fort, Michael G. Schene
Florida Historical Quarterly
On November 4, 1836, Major General Thomas Sidney Jesup, recent quatermaster general of the army, was appointed supreme commander in Florida. His orders carried specific instructions to campaign along the Withlacoochee River, occupy the country between this river and Tampa Bay, and establish forts at strategic points in the interior that would ensure safety for the settlers and provide regular supplies for his command.
Civil War Letters Of Colonel David Lang, Bertram H. Groene
Civil War Letters Of Colonel David Lang, Bertram H. Groene
Florida Historical Quarterly
David Lang was born in Camden County, Georgia, in 1838, the oldest son among Robert and Margaret Lang’s seven children. Earlier his father had lived in Nassau County, Florida. After graduating from Georgia Military Academy in Marietta in 1857, Robert Lang returned to Florida with his family, settling near White Springs, where his son David became surveyor for Suwannee County.
Theodore Roosevelt Entertains Booker T. Washington: Florida's Reaction To The White House Dinner, John K. Severn
Theodore Roosevelt Entertains Booker T. Washington: Florida's Reaction To The White House Dinner, John K. Severn
Florida Historical Quarterly
"It was merely an incident that had no thought or motive behind it except the convenience of the President.“ Thus did Booker T. Washington, president of Tuskegee Institute in Alabama and the most influential black leader in America, later describe a dinner he attended as the guest of President Theodore Roosevelt in the White House on the evening of October 16, 1901. The Negro educator’s account was too subdued an estimate of what became a cause célèbre with ramifications that were racial, social, political, and sectional. In the furor that followed the dinner party, citizens of Florida played a part.
Population Structure In Hispanic St. Augustine, 1629-1763, Theodore G. Corbett
Population Structure In Hispanic St. Augustine, 1629-1763, Theodore G. Corbett
Florida Historical Quarterly
Recent study of population in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century American and European communities is providing new insights into the nature of their social existence. Such studies depend not only upon the traditional census, but utilize a variety of sources, including parish registers, tax and tribute rolls, musters, and genealogical material.1 The use of these sources for the counting of individuals and the arrangement of aggregate figures into tables may seem to produce a rigidly scientific and arid form of history, but in reality these figures do much to explain the everyday life experience of a past community. There is no better …
Madison County's Sea Island Cotton Industry, 1870-1916, Clifton Paisley
Madison County's Sea Island Cotton Industry, 1870-1916, Clifton Paisley
Florida Historical Quarterly
The demand for cotton with a silky fiber, great tensile strength, and a staple at least one and five-eighths inches in length created a boom in the growing of Sea Island cotton in North Florida and South Georgia during the last third of the nineteenth century. Although Sea Island never comprised more than one per cent of the cotton grown in the United States, the use of its long-staple fibers for fine fabrics, laces, thread, and eventually for automobile tires enabled “long cotton,” as it was called, to command a price that was double and sometimes triple that paid for …

"We Are Truly Doing Missionary Work": Letters From American Missionary Association Teachers In Florida, 1864-1874, Joe M. Richardson
Florida Historical Quarterly
The Civil War resulted in freedom for approximately 62,000 Florida slaves. Most of these were illiterate and poorly prepared for their new status. Slavery, with few exceptions, had provided no opportunity for formal learning, and education was essential for an adjustment from a condition of dependence to a life of independent responsibility. Fortunately, a majority of Florida freedmen were anxious to learn.
José Alejandro Huau: A Cuban Patriot In Jacksonville Politics, Gustavo J. Godoy
José Alejandro Huau: A Cuban Patriot In Jacksonville Politics, Gustavo J. Godoy
Florida Historical Quarterly
On Sunday afternoon, April 9, 1905, the long funeral procession of José Alejandro Huau moved at a slow pace to the Old City Cemetery in East Jacksonville, Florida. United States Senator James P. Taliaferro, the former Jacksonville mayor, Judge Morris A. Dzialynski, and a large entourage of dignitaries, honorary pall bearers, and other mourners rode in the flag-draped carriages. Many people came on foot. The procession included a large Masonic honor guard. A huge array of floral wreaths surrounded the burial site, as Jacksonville lamented the loss of one of its most esteemed citizens.
"A Year Of Monkey War": The Anti-Evolution Campaign And The Florida Legislature, Mary Duncan France
"A Year Of Monkey War": The Anti-Evolution Campaign And The Florida Legislature, Mary Duncan France
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the summer of 1925, the world focused its attention on the sleepy town of Dayton, Tennessee, the site of the “Monkey Trial” of John T. Scopes. William Jennings Bryan, former secretary of state and the nation’s most zealous fundamentalist, and Clarence Darrow, the most famous trial attorney of his time, were the real antagonists, as they argued over the issue of the teaching of evolution. Both sides battled as if each believed the trial would produce the definitive statement on God and the creation of man.
The Spaniards And William Augustus Bowles In Florida, 1799-1803, Robert Allen Matter
The Spaniards And William Augustus Bowles In Florida, 1799-1803, Robert Allen Matter
Florida Historical Quarterly
Napoleon Bonaparte by 1799 had either conquered his European enemies or had pacified them, and only Great Britain stood between him and complete mastery of the continent. Spain since 1795 had been a rather reluctant ally of France, and thus her coast and the coasts of her colonies, including those along the Gulf coast, had become subject to the depredations of almost overwhelming British sea power. To further plague the Spaniards another problem materialized in 1799—the return to Florida of William Augustus Bowles.
"Sporting Life On The Line": Prostitution In Progressive Era Pensacola, James R. Mcgovern
"Sporting Life On The Line": Prostitution In Progressive Era Pensacola, James R. Mcgovern
Florida Historical Quarterly
In our own time, when rapid changes in attitudes toward sexual morality are conversational coin, it is interesting to consider an experiment in the regulation of morals devised in Pensacola, Florida, in the early years of the twentieth century. As a port city, Pensacola responded historically to the sexual desires of large numbers of male transients by noteworthy permissiveness. The city displayed a similarly liberal attitude towards the consumption of alcoholic beverages.

Robert And John Grattan Gamble: Middle Florida Enterpreneurs, Michael G. Schene
Robert And John Grattan Gamble: Middle Florida Enterpreneurs, Michael G. Schene
Florida Historical Quarterly
Some time in 1826 the son of a wealthy Richmond merchant first looked upon the rich wilderness of Florida. Deteriorating economic conditions in Virginia combined with the attractive prospect of fertile tracts of land available at moderate prices in the new territory prompted John Grattan Gamble to visit Middle Florida. His tour probably included Tallahassee and the Gulf coast around St. Marks. Satisfied with what he found, Gamble returned to Virginia and persuaded members of his family to join him in Florida. Included were his brother, Robert, his brothers-in-law, William H. Cabell and William Wirt, and Wirt’s young son-in-law, Thomas …
A Padrone Looks At Florida: Labor Recruiting And The Florida East Coast Railway, George E. Pozzetta
A Padrone Looks At Florida: Labor Recruiting And The Florida East Coast Railway, George E. Pozzetta
Florida Historical Quarterly
The years surrounding the turn of the present century consituted a golden era of railroad construction and consolidation in Florida’s history. It was during this period that developer Henry B. Plant absorbed many small lines, pushed his steel rails to Florida’s west coast, and insured the future significance of Tampa Bay. William D. Chipley, “Mr. Railroad of West Florida,” constructed lines throughout the panhandle and invested heavily in the port of Pensacola. The railroad man epitomizing this age’s spirit of optimism and enterprise, however, was Standard Oil millionaire Henry M. Flagler, who chose the east coast of Florida as his …
Missions In The Defense Of Spanish Florida, 1566-1710, Robert Allen Matter
Missions In The Defense Of Spanish Florida, 1566-1710, Robert Allen Matter
Florida Historical Quarterly
Students of Colonial Latin America generally credit its Indian mission systems as effective instruments of frontier defense. A study of the Spanish missions of Florida does not support this thesis. The “paper” bulwark provided by the Florida missions when challenged could represent a significant exception to the alleged importance of the defense role of the church in the Indies. Or, it could reveal that the missionaries played an ineffective part in the defense of Latin-American frontiers. Regardless, Florida’s story suggests the need for a critical re-examination of the premise that religious missions held strategic areas beyond the line of established …

J. F. B. Marshall: A New England Emigrant Aid Company Agent In Post-War Florida, 1867, Patricia P. Clark
Florida Historical Quarterly
Near the end of his tour of Florida as agent for the New England Emigrant Aid Company in early 1867, General James Fowle Baldwin Marshall, former resident of Honolulu and more recently paymaster general of Massachusetts troops, wrote to his wartime commander, Governor John Andrew: “I am tempted by the prospect of usefulness & success, as well as by my long tropical experience to join the ‘Yankee horde’ of reconstructionists, & become a Floridian.“ This “Yankee horde” was enticed to postwar Florida not only by the climate, already fabled throughout the North as beneficial for consumptives and others ailing with …
Flagler's Magnificent Hotel Ponce De Leon, Thomas Graham
Flagler's Magnificent Hotel Ponce De Leon, Thomas Graham
Florida Historical Quarterly
St. Augustine is unusual among most American cities in that it possesses a distinct local atmosphere and character. Largely this charm stems from its Spanish heritage— the narrow streets overarched with balconies, its moss-covered coquina rock walls, and its ancient historic monuments such as the Castillo de San Marcos. But many of the buildings and homes of the city reflect the spirit of a more recent age, that of Victorian America before the turn of the century, when St. Augustine was the winter home of affluent Northerners. The most prominent Victorian buildings are three magnificent structures surrounding a central plaza …

Some Early Railroads In Alachua County, Caroline Watkins
Some Early Railroads In Alachua County, Caroline Watkins
Florida Historical Quarterly
Earliest transportation in Florida was usually by water routes— north and south— since few rivers offered east-west communication. The inland, unsettled country was covered by pine and oak forests and a thick growth of palmettos, vines, and scrub. Canals to connect the Atlantic and the Gulf had been proposed as early as the first Spanish period, and routes were surveyed in the 1820s. When it became evident that tidewater canals would be difficult to construct and locks expensive, attention was diverted to roads and railroads.
