German Espionage In Florida During World War Ii, Leon O. Prior
German Espionage In Florida During World War Ii, Leon O. Prior
Florida Historical Quarterly
Only one Florida resident was arrested and convicted by the United States government for performing German inspired espionage in Florida during World War II. This one misguided individual was forty-nine year old Carl Herman Schroetter, with aliases John Charles Post and Captain Jack Post. He was arrested at his residence, 220 Northwest 33rd. Avenue, Miami, Florida, on September 2, 1941, by special agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Upon arraignment before the United States Commissioner at Miami, Schroetter was charged with gathering and mailing information concerning the national defense to another German agent, Kurt Frederick Ludwig, in New York …
A Report On The Site Of Camp Finegan, William M. Jones
A Report On The Site Of Camp Finegan, William M. Jones
Florida Historical Quarterly
At the time of this writing, nearly a century has passed since the end of the “War of the Rebellion.” Many of the earthworks, and other types of defenses, constructed by the “Boys in Blue and in Gray,” have fallen victim to the ravages of time; still others are being leveled to make way for progress.
Mapping Old St. Joseph, Its Railroads, And Environs, Robert R. Hurst, Jr.
Mapping Old St. Joseph, Its Railroads, And Environs, Robert R. Hurst, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
Many people have heard the story of the old city of St. Joseph, which existed between 1836 and 1844 in the area of the present city of Port St. Joe, on the Gulf of Mexico, a score of miles from the mouth of the Apalachicola River. The story of St. Joseph has been told in many places and in conflicting forms. Novels and scholarly articles have been written about the city and the story of the destruction by fever and flood of “the wickedest city in the South” has been told in many sermons. Much of this legend is false, …
The Advent Of The Spanish-American War In Florida, 1898, William J. Schellings
The Advent Of The Spanish-American War In Florida, 1898, William J. Schellings
Florida Historical Quarterly
On February 1, 1898, the Jacksonville Times Union and Citizen angrily denounced General Nelson Miles for what it termed an attempt to waste the taxpayers’ money. Miles had appeared before a Congressional committee with a plea for funds with which to build fortifications around Washington. The Jacksonville editor declared that there was “no war in sight,” and that the money might better be spent on the construction of an intracoastal waterway, a project already looming large in the minds of many Floridians. His denial of any need for defenses was merely another manner of expressing his stubborn opposition to anything …
Civil War Operations In And Around Pensacola Part Iii, Edwin C. Bearss
Civil War Operations In And Around Pensacola Part Iii, Edwin C. Bearss
Florida Historical Quarterly
Five days subsequent to the great artillery duel of November 22-23 Bragg endeavored to transmit mail to the Confederate prisoners held by the Yankees. Brown refused to receive the letters and even disdained to state his reasons for so doing. He was by no means as courteous and amiable as he had been after the attack on his outside confrere, Colonel Wilson. Later in the day a small yawl attempted to enter the bay from the fleet, a privilege heretofore accorded to the Federals, as until November 22 the Rebels’ vessels had been allowed to tie up at the navy …

Pensacola's Exiled Government, W. B. Skinner
Pensacola's Exiled Government, W. B. Skinner
Florida Historical Quarterly
Judah P. Benjamin, Confederate secretary of war, ordered General Braxton Bragg, commanding officer of Confederate forces at Pensacola, to send as many troops as he could to Tennessee. On February 18, 1862, Bragg issued orders to abandon Pensacola. Upon Bragg’s departure, General Sam Jones assumed the command with the instructions to destroy everything in the Pensacola area which might be of use to the Federal forces who occupied Fort Pickens on Santa Rosa Island. The destruction was completed by May 9th and the following day the Federals occupied Pensacola.
A 16th Century French "Mug Book" Brings To Light Interesting Comments On, Charles E. Bennett
A 16th Century French "Mug Book" Brings To Light Interesting Comments On, Charles E. Bennett
Florida Historical Quarterly
In 1584 Andre Thevet published in Paris a 16th century counterpart of the type of thing we call today a “mug book,” a book containing portraits and biographies of leading citizens of the time and place involved. He titled his book “Les Vrais Pourtraits et Vies des Hommes” and it was printed by Keruert. It deals with the important French leaders of the 16th century - 150 of them. One of them was Charles IX, for whom Fort Caroline was named. The last article in the book is about Saturiba, the well known Indian chief who befriended the Fort Caroline …
Early Letters From R. K. Call, Willie D. Halsell
Early Letters From R. K. Call, Willie D. Halsell
Florida Historical Quarterly
Richard Keith Call and Edward Brett Randolph were both born in Virginia, only a few months apart. Since they were distantly related, they may have known each other before their participation in the Indian wars in the southeast and Florida. By 1819, they had made exceptional reputations for loyalty and bravery, Randolph at Fort Erie and Chippaway, both in the Indian campaigns.
A 16th Century French Manuscript Bearing The Only Known Signature Of Rene Laudonniere, Charles E. Bennett
A 16th Century French Manuscript Bearing The Only Known Signature Of Rene Laudonniere, Charles E. Bennett
Florida Historical Quarterly
The Fort Caroline National Memorial at Jacksonville, Florida, has been for several years assembling for ultimate display at its museum various objects illustrative of the methods of navigation used by the explorers and settlers of the 16th century. I have been assisting in this search, and as a by product of it we recently discovered and purchased by private donations the only known signature of Rene Laudonniere, the French Governor of Fort Caroline. Under this man’s leadership the permanent settlement of what is now the United States was begun. A map dealer in England (Maggs Brothers) told us about the …
Civil War Operations In And Around Pensacola Part Ii, Florida Historical Society
Civil War Operations In And Around Pensacola Part Ii, Florida Historical Society
Florida Historical Quarterly
The new Confederate commander at Pensacola seemed omnipresent. In conjunction with Colonel William J. Hardee, commander at Fort Morgan, the bastion guarding the eastern approaches to Mobile Bay, a reconnaissance was conducted preparatory to the opening of a new line of communication between Mobile and Pensacola. It was hoped that an easier route could be developed between these two key points by utilizing water and land transportation, via Bon Secours, Bear Creek, and Perdido Bay, eliminating the long, slow overland trek from Blakely.
Spring Training In Florida, J. Roy Stockton
Spring Training In Florida, J. Roy Stockton
Florida Historical Quarterly
Spring training serves many purposes for the great American game and business of baseball. The primary objective, of course, is to get the players into the best possible physical condition for the arduous, 154-game pennant races during which the championships of the two major leagues are decided. During this conditioning process young players and others who may have been obtained in trades are inspected and tested in practice sessions, squad games, and exhibition contests.
Sidney J. Catts And The Democratic Primary Of 1920, Warren A. Jennings
Sidney J. Catts And The Democratic Primary Of 1920, Warren A. Jennings
Florida Historical Quarterly
In 1920 Florida stood on the threshold of her “great boom;” economic optimism prevailed. However, to many people within the state one obstacle stood in the way of bountiful prosperity - “Cattsism,” a term of derision applied to the political principles and campaign tactics of Sidney J. Catts, the governor of the state. Only four years before he had risen from obscurity to notoriety. A more disruptive and divisive personality has seldom appeared on the political scene of any state. There was no middle ground in the opinions of the politicians or the public about this political parvenu; he was …

Florida And The Cuban Revolution, 1895-1898, William J. Schellings
Florida And The Cuban Revolution, 1895-1898, William J. Schellings
Florida Historical Quarterly
The Cuban revolt against Spanish rule in 1895 and the possibility that this might lead to war between Spain and the United States placed Florida in a dilemma. There were a number of reasons for the state’s rejoicing at the prospect of Cuban independence, and for many individual Floridians to want to aid the rebels. Against this, however, was the fear that if the United States went to war against Spain it could end only in disaster for Florida. As a result, an attempt was made to walk a middle path, to encourage the giving of private aid to the …
The Freedmen's Bureau And Negro Labor In Florida, Joe M. Richardson
The Freedmen's Bureau And Negro Labor In Florida, Joe M. Richardson
Florida Historical Quarterly
One of the most pressing problems encountered immediately after the emancipation of the Negro was that of labor. The Negro had been the chief source of labor in Florida, as well as in the rest of the South, and the breakdown of slavery necessitated the contrivance of a new system. Many of the white planters wanted to keep the Negro on the plantation on terms that were similar to slavery. The whites accepted the fact that the colored man had ceased to be property, but many wanted to believe that he still existed specifically to produce cotton, sugar, and rice …
Asboth's Expedition Up The Alabama And Florida Railroad, Edwin L. Bearss
Asboth's Expedition Up The Alabama And Florida Railroad, Edwin L. Bearss
Florida Historical Quarterly
During the first week of July, 1864, the powerful “Army Group” commanded by Major General William T. Sherman slowly closed in on Atlanta, Georgia. To help loosen the grip of the Confederate Army of Tennessee on Atlanta, Sherman planned to send a fast moving cavalry force, about 3,000 strong, to smash the Montgomery and West Point Railroad. (This railroad linked the defenders of Atlanta with the magazines and supply depots of central Alabama.) Leaving Decatur, Alabama, on July 9, these raiders were expected to strike the vital railroad near Opelika. After tearing up the track and burning the trestles and …
Florida On The Eve Of The Civil War As Seen By A Southern Reporter, William Warren Rogers
Florida On The Eve Of The Civil War As Seen By A Southern Reporter, William Warren Rogers
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the days prior to the firing on Fort Sumter, readers of the Charleston Daily Courier were kept well informed on current events by its various correspondents. No paper in the South was better supplied with journalists, who sent in weekly, and often daily, reports from centers of interest. One of these reporters styled himself “Batchelor,” and he made a tour of Florida for the Courier.
Andrew Ranson: Seventeenth Century Pirate?, J. Leitch Wright, Jr.
Andrew Ranson: Seventeenth Century Pirate?, J. Leitch Wright, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
The later half of the seventeenth century saw the swashbuckling heyday of piracy in the West Indies. Here, English, French, and Dutch buccaneers, and audacious seafarers claiming no nation, roamed the seas almost at will, delighting particularly in preying on galleons flying the Spanish flag and in sacking and ransoming cities along the Spanish Main. It is true that the policy of European nations was changing from encouraging or winking at buccaneer activities to supporting legitimate trade with Spanish America, and some serious efforts were made to curb these seagoing marauders. Nevertheless, this was of little consolation to the inhabitants …
