Pensacola Memorabilia, T. T. Wentworth, Jr.
Pensacola Memorabilia, T. T. Wentworth, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
Since Andrew Jackson, one of America’s most colorful historical figures was associated with Cantonment on several occasions and spent four weeks with his troops here in 1821 just prior to the change of flags in Pensacola, which transferred The Floridas to the United States of America, I want to recount the events in which Jackson played a part.
Military Events In Florida During The Civil War, 1861-1865, Allen W. Jones
Military Events In Florida During The Civil War, 1861-1865, Allen W. Jones
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the voluminous writings on the Civil War the region of the upper South has attracted attention as the battleground of the War and de military activity in the Confederate States of the lower South, especially Florida, has received little notice. The fighting in Florida began early in 1861 but was most active during the last two years of the War. This compilation of nearly one hundred forty military events at over eighty different places will give some indication as to the extent of the War in Florida.
Florida In World War Ii: Tourists And Citrus, Ben F. Rogers
Florida In World War Ii: Tourists And Citrus, Ben F. Rogers
Florida Historical Quarterly
As 1941 drew to a close, in many states of the Union com- placent citizens still argued that the war in Europe and Asia was none of our business, that the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans were insurmountable barriers which no enemy could ever cross. In the state of Florida, however, this was not so. Led by their irrepressible Senator, Claude Pepper, Floridians had long been deeply concerned with the rising tide of totalitarianism; the Gallup polls found Florida one of the most interventionist of all states. During the preceding years, moreover, there had been a tremendous expansion of Florida’s military …
Florida And The Compromise Of 1850, John Meador
Florida And The Compromise Of 1850, John Meador
Florida Historical Quarterly
The Compromise of 1850 which temporarily settled the sectional dispute over slavery in the territories, had a great impact upon the political party structure in the United States. The ultimate result was the destruction of the Whig party, even though it was that party’s leaders, Clay and Webster, who had been chiefly responsible for the Compromise. In the North, most of the party was drawn into the new Republican party, while its southern members either joined the Democrats or found refuge in such wobbly makeshifts as the American and Opposition parties. What the Compromise did to southern Whigs appears particularly …
William Jennings Bryan And The University Of Florida, Samuel Proctor
William Jennings Bryan And The University Of Florida, Samuel Proctor
Florida Historical Quarterly
William Jennings Bryan resigned as Secretary of State on June 8, 1915, and retired to his home in Florida. Edgar Lee Masters described him at this time as “the Christian Statesman, out of a job . . . no longer a presidential possibility, nor a law-maker nor a law-giver.” The last decade of Bryan’s life was not a period of inactivity, however. A critic has said that it was during these years that Bryan identified himself “with some of the worst tendencies in American life-prohibition, the crusade against evolution, real estate speculation, and the Klan.” As his national political power …

History, Nationalism, And Public Opinion: The Memorialization Of George Mason, Kasandra Fager
History, Nationalism, And Public Opinion: The Memorialization Of George Mason, Kasandra Fager
Honors Projects
The George Mason Memorial , built on the National Mall in 2002, captures the accomplishments of George Mason, a Founding Father, author of the Virginia Declaration of Rights, and he refused to sign the U.S. Constitution. Identifying Mason's history and exploring the motivations and struggles of the creation of the memorial opens a conversation for public opinion regarding the memorial's physical manifestation. The height of the Jefferson Memorial, the height of the George Washington obelisk, and the beauty of the Lincoln Memorial is seen as a testament of their god-like status in American history. So, where does this leave Mason’s …

Series 1: Family - Quotes
In this section, we have selected quotes that represent how Black residents in Maine view their family life. The quotes are taken from transcripts of the oral history project “Home Is Where I Make It”: African American Community and Activism in Greater Portland, Maine.” The interview subjects are all native to Maine or are longtime residents of Maine. The original intent of the “Home Is Where I Make It” project was to highlight Black residents’ history and struggle for community in southern Maine in both their formal organizational memberships and day-to-day activities. The interviews, however, unearthed a wealth …
The Coeducation Decade: The Fiftieth Anniversary Of Women At Wofford, Phillip Stone, Luke Meagher
The Coeducation Decade: The Fiftieth Anniversary Of Women At Wofford, Phillip Stone, Luke Meagher
Library Exhibits
THE COEDUCATION DECADE: The 50th anniversary of Women at Wofford In February 1971, four women enrolled as day students at Wofford under a new policy that allowed for day student coeducation. The Board of Trustees had changed the policy to allow the admission of women in greater numbers, although women had been part of the student body in small numbers since the 1890s. Within five years, the college moved to full residential coeducation. No matter the status at Wofford, women have made contributions to the campus community. This exhibit celebrates the history of women at Wofford and the ways that …

Letters Of A Teenage Confederate, Henry Eugene Sterkx
Letters Of A Teenage Confederate, Henry Eugene Sterkx
Florida Historical Quarterly
The history of the Civil War is replete with many young men who patriotically went off to war hoping to make great contributions to their side. Some did not get a chance to prove themselves in battle. Many spent all of their time in camp where some became victims of disease rather than the enemy’s bullets. Thus it was with Langdon Leslie Rumph.
Documents Pertaining To The Georgia-Florida Frontier, 1791-1793, Richard K. Murdoch
Documents Pertaining To The Georgia-Florida Frontier, 1791-1793, Richard K. Murdoch
Florida Historical Quarterly
During the period from 1784 to 1821, one of the major causes of friction along the St. Marys River, the dividing line between the United States and East Florida, was the frequent disappearance of Negro slaves, usually fleeing from the American bank of the river into the sparsely populated Spanish colony where they hoped to find a refuge with the Indian population or among the freed Negroes and mulattoes in St. Augustine. Frequent arrangements were made by the authorities on both sides to return the runaways as soon as possible to their legitimate owners to avoid unnecessary diplomatic wrangling.
The Journal Of A. B. Meek And The Second Seminole War, 1836, John K. Mahon
The Journal Of A. B. Meek And The Second Seminole War, 1836, John K. Mahon
Florida Historical Quarterly
Alexander Beaufort Meek was born in Columbia, South Carolina, March 17, 1814, the son of a methodist minister. While he was still young his parents migrated to Tuscaloosa, Alabama, taking him with them. Although inclined to be indolent, learning came easily to the boy. Proof of this is that at a tender age he memorized the entire Old Testament. At age nineteen he was graduated from the University of Alabama (1833), and at twenty-two was awarded a master’s degree from the same school. Meanwhile, in 1835 he had begun the practice of law in Tuscaloosa.
The Episcopal Church In Florida During The Civil War, Joseph D. Cushman, Jr.
The Episcopal Church In Florida During The Civil War, Joseph D. Cushman, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
As the Civil War approached, the Episcopal Church in Flor- ida found herself for the first time since the opening of the territory in a position of stability. She had weathered the hardships and uncertainties of the territorial period; her older parishes had become self-supporting congregations, and were embarking on vigorous parochial and educational projects; and a new group of lively missions was springing up in towns like Fernandina, Ocala, and Palatka, and in agricultural villages like Waukeena and Milton. The Diocese of Florida, which had been bishopless for thirteen years after its organization in 1838, had enjoyed the episcopal …
Sixteenth Century English-Spanish Rivalry In La Florida, Leitch Wright, Jr.
Sixteenth Century English-Spanish Rivalry In La Florida, Leitch Wright, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
For many years after its discovery la Florida was a vague geographical concept. Discovered by Ponce de Leon in 1513, it was first considered an island, though later recognized to be a diminutive tail wagging an immense dog. During much of the sixteenth century it embraced a large part of the Atlantic and Gulf coasts and stretched mysteriously inland an infinite way. Ponce de Leon was followed by numerous other conquistadors such as Vazquez de Ayllon, Panfilio de Narvaez, Hernando de Soto, and Tristan de Luna y Arrellano, but they garnered little gold or silver and endured many privations, shipwrecks, …

The 1789 Saint Augustine Celebration, Helen Hornbeck Tanner
Florida Historical Quarterly
One of the most elaborate celebrations of Saint Augustine’s colonial history occurred in December, 1789, when the civilian and military populations joined in honoring Charles IV’S ascension to the Spanish throne. Parades, theatricals, religious services and soirees with dancing till dawn were features of the three day festival beginning the afternoon of December 2.

Governor Folch And The Burr Conspiracy, Adam Szaszdi
Governor Folch And The Burr Conspiracy, Adam Szaszdi
Florida Historical Quarterly
The strange episode of American history, the Burr conspiracy, can be considered nowadays a well-known story, and the more so since the publication of Professor Abernethy’s work, The Burr Conspiracy (1954). However, even though pertinent Spanish documents have been taken into consideration, the usual tendency is to view the subject from the perspective of those operating within the United States. Therefore, it should be an interesting experiment to cross the Florida boundary and place ourselves in the shoes of the Spanish authorities of that time.
Suggestions For Research In The Culture And Society Of A Spanish Florida, William B. Griffen
Suggestions For Research In The Culture And Society Of A Spanish Florida, William B. Griffen
Florida Historical Quarterly
Florida was established as a functional part of the Spanish colonies in 1565. Saint Augustine was from the beginning the focal point of the Spanish Empire in Florida from which the social and cultural influences of the Iberian civilizers were radiated into the hinterland, transforming to some degree both the physical environment and the human groups bearing different ways of life which were encountered. But, not only from the standpoint of Spanish-Indian culture contact and acculturation does early Florida hold interest for the anthropologist. The imported European culture is also of tremendous importance to be understood in the development of …

The Irish Brigade Of Spain At The Campture Of Pensacola, 1781, W. S. Murphy
Florida Historical Quarterly
The capture of Pensacola by Bernardo de Galvez, in May, 1781, five months before the British surrender at Yorktown constituted the only exciting military exploit of Spain during the American Revolution. It was an interesting Spanish contribution to the fortunate outcome of the war. The Spanish victory in Pensacola required the services of 6,500 Spanish troops, a sizeable Spanish naval ancillary, and the aid of 725 French soldiers with their own ships. This force included a substantial representation from the Irish Brigade of Spain, one of the most celebrated corps of the Spanish army. This article will sketch the unfolding …
