A View Of Celi's Journal Of Surveys And Chart Of 1757, John D. Ware
A View Of Celi's Journal Of Surveys And Chart Of 1757, John D. Ware
Florida Historical Quarterly
The San Francisco de Asis was a xebec, one of a class of relatively small three-masted sailing vessels used around the Spanish and Portuguese coasts. Her fore and mizzenmasts were lateen rigged, and her mainmast was square rigged, having three sails - main, lower main, and upper mainsails. This type was frequently outfitted with oars for use in calm water, but there is no indication that this vessel was so equipped.
Celi's Expedition To Tampa Bay: A Historical Analysis, Charles W. Arnade
Celi's Expedition To Tampa Bay: A Historical Analysis, Charles W. Arnade
Florida Historical Quarterly
"De la Havana al Puerto de Tampa, Año de 1757, Diario de Reconocimientos, Oceano Atlantico Septentrional" by Don Francisco Maria Celi is unquestionably a key document in Florida history and the history of Tampa Bay. The chronology of its recent discovery is not too complicated. Celi, “Pilot of the Royal Spanish Navy” and commander of the Florida expedition, carefully prepared a useful and artistically beautiful map that went with his report. This map (actually there were two versions) was known to modern historians, but the accompanying report was not. The late Clarence Simpson had knowledge of the Celi map, as …

The Esoteric Quality Of Montaigne’S Essays: The Essay As A Philosophic Response To Extreme Forms Of Skepticism, Victoria Russo
The Esoteric Quality Of Montaigne’S Essays: The Essay As A Philosophic Response To Extreme Forms Of Skepticism, Victoria Russo
Honors Program Theses and Projects
According to Judith Shklar (1990, 611) not only is Montaigne Emerson’s hero, but Emerson is the American thinker in whom one finds the greatest understanding and appreciation of Montaigne’s Essays (see also Shklar 1989). The kinship between Montaigne and Emerson extends beyond the latter’s appreciation of the former. Both essayists address the topics of skepticism and the relationship between skepticism and how one ought to live. In doing so, both Emerson and Montaigne speak to the philosophical importance of literature and how one should understand the relationship between literature and philosophy.

Recommended Reading: Book List Books And Middlebrow Tastemaking, Cheryl Read
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The term “middlebrow” has historically been hurled as a pejorative to signify cultural objects and consumers of them which are watered down, inauthentic, and invested in quick social gain. I argue that the literary middlebrow can be better understood if its definition expands to include a mode of reading characterized by being mediated by cultural arbiters and purposeful in that literature functions as an instrument for self-improvement. In this dissertation, I use book list books, lists of recommended reading published as standalone books themselves, to trace the history of a middlebrow mode of reading from the late nineteenth century to …
Constructing The Panama Canal: A Brief History, Ian E. Phillips
Constructing The Panama Canal: A Brief History, Ian E. Phillips
The Downtown Review: An Interdisciplinary Journal Written and Peer-Reviewed by Mandel Honors College Students at Cleveland State University
Seeking to commemorate the construction of the Panama Canal, an engineering marvel widely considered a contender for the eighth wonder of the world, this article attempts to retell the story of the Canal's construction by synthesizing a narrative centered on the Canal under French and American leadership, worker segregation, and labor conditions at the Isthmus.

Cross-Florida Barge Canal, 1927-1968, J. Richard Sewell
Cross-Florida Barge Canal, 1927-1968, J. Richard Sewell
Florida Historical Quarterly
The early and later history of the Cross-Florida Barge Canal is said to be divided by the enactment of the River and Harbor Act, signed into law January 21, 1927 by President Calvin Coolidge. This act authorized the secretary of war to make a preliminary examination and survey of the “Waterway from Cumberland Sound, Georgia and Florida, to the Mississippi River,” and it had had the full support of President Harding, Coolidge’s predecessor, who declared himself in favor of the broadest development of the country’s inland waterways. Henry Holland Buckman, who has been called the “father confessor” of the present …
Secession Of Florida From The Union - A Minority Decision?, John F. Reiger
Secession Of Florida From The Union - A Minority Decision?, John F. Reiger
Florida Historical Quarterly
In 1860 the majority of white Floridians probably assumed that a victory for Republicanism would put in power those who would oppress the South. With the election of Lincoln, many Floridians believed secession the only alternative to northern domination. Others, however, refused to believe it.
Migration Into Florida Of The Seminoles, 1700-1820, James W. Covington
Migration Into Florida Of The Seminoles, 1700-1820, James W. Covington
Florida Historical Quarterly
The Seminole Indians were relatively late arrivals to the Florida peninsula; the Apalachees, Calusas, Timucuans, and smaller tribes had settled the area much earlier. The Seminole migrations into Florida came in three distinct phases: in the period between 1702-1750, they made raids against the Spainards and their Indian allies, and although the Seminoles acquired much knowledge of the Florida terrain, no significant settlements were made. In the period 1750-1812, six or more villages were established in the northern part of Florida, and small parties explored the entire peninsula in search of deer, bear, and other game, and to make contact …
Encounter By The River, Frank Laumer
Encounter By The River, Frank Laumer
Florida Historical Quarterly
It was mid-winter 1835 in Florida and the United States Army was gathering its strength at Fort Drane. Until a month ago the place was called “Auld Lang Syne,” a plantation devoted to raising sugar-cane on some 3,000 acres in the center of the Territory. It had gained the status of “fort” by the expedient of erecting a twelve-foot pine-log wall in a rectangle 460 yards in circumference around the main building. For ten years the owner had tended his dual duties as planter and general, but now the hue and cry was raised again and Fort Drane was headquarters …

The following bibliography is an attempt to bring together all of Rembert W. Patrick’s published works in one place convenient to scholars. The list is complete through December 1, 1967. Little attempt has been made to note unpublished works, among which are comments and papers delivered at various historical meetings, including the paper, “The Florida Historical Quarterly,” given at the annual meeting of the Florida Historical Society in St. Augustine, April 13, 1956. It should be noted that Professor Patrick was general editor of the twenty-one volumes in the Floridiana Facsimile & Reprint Series, published by the University of Florida …

Rembert Wallace Patrick, Herbert J. Doherty, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the Fall of 1940 a young South Carolinian with a brandnew doctor’s degree in history from the University of North Carolina appeared among the new faculty members at the University of Florida in Gainesville. Rembert Wallace Patrick had begun his long and warm association with Florida, its people, and its history. In the small, north Florida college town the youthful historian energetically devoted himself to his work and soon won the devoted following of students and the affection and respect of his colleagues. Though he was a practical, down-to-earth man, he quickly revealed a dry, often irreverent sense of …

A Florida Soldier In The Army Of Northern Virginia: The Hosford Letters, Knox Mellon, Jr.
A Florida Soldier In The Army Of Northern Virginia: The Hosford Letters, Knox Mellon, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
A long neglected area of American Civil War history has been the thousands of unpublished letters and diaries still found gathering dust in hundreds of attics across the nation. The recent Civil War centennial brought out some material of this type, and the general public has grown more aware of the advantages to be gained from the publication of soldiers’ memoirs. Despite this fact, it is rare indeed to find as moving and articulate a series of letters as the ten written by a young Florida Confederate officer, Lieutenant John W. Hosford, to his sweetheart, Miss Laura Rich, between November …
Florida Politics And The Tallahassee Press, Thomas S. Graham
Florida Politics And The Tallahassee Press, Thomas S. Graham
Florida Historical Quarterly
In 1849, the editor of the Tallahassee Floridian & Journal, one of the state’s leading newspapers, recommended the compilation of Florida’s news journals so that future historical researchers would be furnished with “extensive and otherwise unattainable data for correct history of opinions and events." Today the common use of newspaper materials in the writing of history has amply validated the perceptiveness of the editor’s foresight, and while the newspapers of the ante-bellum era have proved useful in writing history, they have also been found to be fascinating and worthy of study in themselves. The Floridian & Journal and its foremost …
Military Reconstruction In Florida, Merlin G. Cox
Military Reconstruction In Florida, Merlin G. Cox
Florida Historical Quarterly
The sovereign power in Florida from March 15, 1867, to July 4, 1868, was the military arm of the United States government. Many interpreters have viewed military reconstruction as an illustration of man’s inhumanity to man; it was, they say, a revenge mechanism to punish the vanquished for losing the war. Most members of democratic societies are so vehement in their condemnation of military rule that they admit no shades of difference in assessing the achievements of armies of occupation. If this blanket indictment were valid, Hitler’s armies of occupation in Western Europe and American occupation armies in Japan were …

Key West And The New Deal, 1934-1936, Durward Long
Florida Historical Quarterly
Historians often point out that the depression which began for the rest of the United States in 1929, started in Florida much earlier. The final collapse of the real estate boom in Florida in 1926, was followed by serious fiscal difficulties for units of government-local and state-as well as for private citizens. Even nature seemed to conspire against the economic well-being of the state. The devastating hurricanes of 1926 and 1928 were followed by the invasion of the Mediterranean fruit fly in 1929, to add to the deepening financial and economic distress which many Florida communities were suffering in the …

Agriculture And Advertising: Florida State Bureau Of Immigration, 1923-1960, Martin M. Lagodna
Florida Historical Quarterly
The shades were drawn in the back office of the busy white frame country store. As was his habit, the little man with the greying hair and starched collar lay down to rest after dinner. Out front the hitching posts were being bound with leather as customers hurried into the general merchandise mart which also served as a postoffice. The store was humming and the man’s wife and his clerk-partner tended the people. After all, it was the largest supplier of its kind between Ocala and Dade City. Business was good but the man in the darkened back office was …
