Fontaneda Revisited: Five Descriptions Of Sixteenth-Century Florida, John E. Worth Mar 2022

Fontaneda Revisited: Five Descriptions Of Sixteenth-Century Florida, John E. Worth

Florida Historical Quarterly

The well-known relation of Hernando de Escalante Fontaneda, the Spanish sailor shipwrecked on the Florida coast in the mid sixteenth century, has correctly been described by David O. True as a document that “should share the top rank of Florida source records.“1 It constitutes one of the earliest descriptions of the Indians of Florida and is rich in ethnographic detail. Although the text of the body of Fontaneda’s account (the Memoir) and a separate fragment associated with it (the Memoranda) have been published by True in both transcribed and translated form, this published version came from Buckingham Smith’s transcription of …


In The Shadow Of Jackson: Uriah Blue's Expedition Into West Florida, Brian R. Rucker Mar 2022

In The Shadow Of Jackson: Uriah Blue's Expedition Into West Florida, Brian R. Rucker

Florida Historical Quarterly

Students of Florida history are well acquainted with General Andrew Jackson’s controversial invasions of Spanish Florida in 1814 and 1818. But what is not as well known is a related military expedition, that of Major Uriah Blue who led approximately 1,000 American forces into Spanish West Florida between December 1814 and January 1815. Andrew Jackson’s concurrent, and famous, battle with the British at New Orleans overshadowed Blue’s expedition. Yet, Blue’s troops played an integral part in Jackson’s overall plan. Both the expedition’s successes and failures affected future American-Spanish relations, for Jackson would reinvade Florida several years later to fight the …


Aid Societies Were Not Alike: Northern Teachers In Post-Civil War Florida, John T. Foster, Jr. Mar 2022

Aid Societies Were Not Alike: Northern Teachers In Post-Civil War Florida, John T. Foster, Jr.

Florida Historical Quarterly

Northern teachers in the South during the Civil War and Reconstruction have been the subject of various studies.1 This literature emphasizes the origins and development of the aid societies that sponsored the teachers, and it focuses upon major figures who shaped educational policy. At the same time, little attention details the activities of early northern teachers in Florida within the context of developments in other places. Florida’s experience varies from other parts of the South, and it offers, by contrast, a fresh perspective on the regional experience. Ansel Eddy Kinne’s career provides an opportunity for understanding aid societies. From early …


Race Relations In Territorial Florida, 1821-1845, Canter Brown, Jr. Mar 2022

Race Relations In Territorial Florida, 1821-1845, Canter Brown, Jr.

Florida Historical Quarterly

Race relations evolved in complicated and often confused ways in antebellum Florida, as did patterns of racial interaction in other parts of the South. Nonetheless, many students of the subject have written as if the institutions, patterns, and practices prevalent in the 1850s were typical of the region’s experience over the entire prewar period. In doing so, they have failed to account fully for regional variations and for changes over time.

Ringing Up A School: Mary Mcleod Bethune's Impact On Daytona, Audrey Thomas Mccluskey Mar 2022

Ringing Up A School: Mary Mcleod Bethune's Impact On Daytona, Audrey Thomas Mccluskey

Florida Historical Quarterly

The limited scholarly attention given to Mary McLeod Bethune has focused either on her pioneering efforts to integrate the federal bureaucracy during the presidency of Franklin Delano Roosevelt or on her equally trailblazing work in the black women’s club movement.1 To be sure, historians have recognized Bethune as one of this country’s most important educators, but this critical aspect of her career remains imperfectly understood. This is especially true of the school that she founded for women in 1904, which became the coeducational liberal arts institution Bethune-Cookman College.

Color Matters: The Creation Of The Saralee Doll, Gordon Patterson Mar 2022

Color Matters: The Creation Of The Saralee Doll, Gordon Patterson

Florida Historical Quarterly

"It had begun with Christmas,” declared Claudia, Toni Morrison’s narrator in her novel The Bluest Eye. “The big, the special, the loving gift was always a big, blue-eyed, Baby Doll. From the clucking sounds of adults I knew that the doll represented what they thought was my fondest wish. I was bemused with the thing itself, and the way it looked. What was I supposed to do with it?“1 Through much of the twentieth century, generations of African-American children experienced the full force of this fictional character’s dilemma. Their skin color posed a barrier between their self-image and the image …


Harmon Murray: Black Desperado In Late Nineteenth-Century Florida, Billy Jaynes Chandler Mar 2022

Harmon Murray: Black Desperado In Late Nineteenth-Century Florida, Billy Jaynes Chandler

Florida Historical Quarterly

North Florida was far from the Wild West, but for a time in the late nineteenth century it ceded little in the notoriety of its outlaws to that famous region. If Harmon Murray, leader of the “north Florida gang,” has not taken his place in history alongside Billy the Kid or Jesse James, it was hardly his fault. Though he was soon forgotten, at the time of his death in late summer 1891 Murray’s name was known throughout the state and beyond. The reasons for Murray’s quick rise to fame had much to do with his skill, courage, and sheer …


Civil Rights Leader Harry T. Moore And The Ku Klux Klan In Florida, James C. Clark Mar 2022

Civil Rights Leader Harry T. Moore And The Ku Klux Klan In Florida, James C. Clark

Florida Historical Quarterly

On Christmas night 1951 Harry Tyson Moore became the first civil rights leader assassinated in the United States when a bomb placed beneath the bedroom of his small frame home in Mims, Florida, exploded. It killed Moore and his wife Harriett. For many years Moore had been an ambitious fighter for civil rights in Florida. He led the first effort in Florida to achieve equal pay for black teachers, organized the state’s first black voter registration drives, established the first state conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), and spoke up when law enforcement officials …

The Other Side Now: What Blanding Prisoners Of War Told The Wehrmacht, Robert D. Billinger, Jr. Mar 2022

The Other Side Now: What Blanding Prisoners Of War Told The Wehrmacht, Robert D. Billinger, Jr.

Florida Historical Quarterly

Fifty years after the arrival of German prisoners of war in Florida their story is still little known.1 Admittedly their presence was minimal since only about 4,000 out of the 378,000 German prisoners who spent time in America were detained in the state. Florida was one of forty-five states with POWs, and the base camp at Camp Blanding, with its fifteen side camps, was only one of 155 base camps in the continental United States.


Women And War: St. Petersburg Women During World War Ii, Ellen J. Babb Mar 2022

Women And War: St. Petersburg Women During World War Ii, Ellen J. Babb

Florida Historical Quarterly

During World War II, government agencies and private businesses recruited millions of American women for employment in wartime industries and in other nontraditional fields when the nation’s young men left for war. Government propaganda, national periodicals, and local newspapers worked in unison to promote female employment, and popular songs like “Rosie the Riveter” inspired allegiance on the home front. In a radical departure from previously sanctioned public behavior, older, married women— many with children— entered the country’s labor force en masse. Even though millions of women stepped well beyond previously accepted boundaries of home and “women’s sphere” during World War …

Gi Joe Meets Jim Crow: Racial Violence And Reform In World War Ii Florida, Gary R. Mormino Mar 2022

Gi Joe Meets Jim Crow: Racial Violence And Reform In World War Ii Florida, Gary R. Mormino

Florida Historical Quarterly

Where were you on December 7, 1941, and what did you experience on that memorable day? If you were Master Sergeant Warren Bryant, stationed at Tampa’s MacDill Field, you were reminded of your place in American society. Bryant explained the coming of war: “When the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor . . . all of the whites at MacDill Field were running around with loaded guns. We [blacks] had no guns and no idea of what was going on, so you can imagine what was running through our minds until we learned of the Japanese attack. Even with this knowledge it …


"Hell-By-The-Sea": Florida's Camp Gordon Johnston In World War Ii, David J. Coles Mar 2022

"Hell-By-The-Sea": Florida's Camp Gordon Johnston In World War Ii, David J. Coles

Florida Historical Quarterly

World War II was a profoundly transforming experience in the development of the South and the state of Florida. As historian George Tindall has noted of the region, “To a greater degree than the previous war it put people on the move: to shipyards, war plants, training camps, and far-flung battlefields.” Military facilities costing more than four billion dollars came into being throughout the South, and Florida shared fully in this expansion. The war also brought increased prosperity to both rural and urban areas and hastened the demands of black residents for greater political and economic opportunities.
