Greens, Grist And Guernseys: Development Of The Florida State Agricultural Marketing System, Martin M. Lagodna
Greens, Grist And Guernseys: Development Of The Florida State Agricultural Marketing System, Martin M. Lagodna
Florida Historical Quarterly
The Federal Governments role in aiding farmers is well known; the states’s relationship to agriculture has not been very well chronicled. Florida, for example, was slow in responding to federal stimuli in the early twentieth century, but once underway the state developed innovative programs to help farmers with their economic problems. Agriculture specialists believed that distribution of goods rather than production was the major problem. In the American capitalist system the markets functioned as the distributive agencies. The economists focused their attention on agricultural marketing and importuned government to assist with this endeavor.

Foreigners In Florida: A Study Of Immigration Promotion, 1865-1910, George E. Pozzetta
Florida Historical Quarterly
For most of the long American period, Floridians have been deeply concerned with the problem of attracting people to the borders of their state. Though the motivations behind the various efforts to induce migration into the state have changed, ranging from early desires simply to populate uninhabited lands to more modern concerns of tourism and development, the spirit has been remarkably consistent. Indeed, it has only been within the last few years that the “heresy” of imposing legal limits on population growth has been listened to with any degree of toleration. In no other period of Florida’s past, however, have …

When A Minority Becomes The Majority: Blacks In Jacksonville Politics, 1887-1907, Edward N. Akin
When A Minority Becomes The Majority: Blacks In Jacksonville Politics, 1887-1907, Edward N. Akin
Florida Historical Quarterly
With the end of Reconstruction in 1876, the national Republican party abandoned the blacks of the South to state governments controlled by native southern whites. This traditional textbook interpretation of the plight of blacks in the Bourbon South rested on two implicit assumptions: the black was dependent on national Republicanism for protection; and, with the end of this protective system, blacks ceased to be a viable independent political element.1 When blacks did vote during the Bourbon era, they were pictured as sheep being led by conservative whites. An example of this voting behavior in an urban setting is recounted in …

Florida's Disrupted Mail Service, 1821-1845, Richard J. Stanaback
Florida's Disrupted Mail Service, 1821-1845, Richard J. Stanaback
Florida Historical Quarterly
When Florida became an American territory in 1821, almost no means of communication existed between its settlements or with other parts of the country. If a viable government and a prosperous economy were to be instituted, effective links of correspondence would have to be developed. To accomplish these ends, the post office department in succeeding years authorized many post roads and post offices. By 1845, there were approximately fifty post offices, and 2,920 miles of post roads in Florida.

Tallahassee Through The Storebooks: Era Of Radical Reconstruction, 1867-1877, Clifton Paisley
Florida Historical Quarterly
Leon was the largest and richest county in Florida at the outbreak of the Civil War. Its population numbered 12,343, and its property was assessed at $8,843,095 in 1860. It led the state in agriculture; its farms were valued at $2,482,211, and during the crop year 1859 they produced 16,686 bales of cotton, 421,654 bushels of corn, and 136,038 bushels of sweet potatoes. It ranked third in manufacturing. Twenty-six establishments in 1859 employed 239 male and seven female workers and produced products worth $261,200. The county, like the rest of Florida and the South, suffered grievous economic losses during the …

Lieutenant Colonel James Robertson's Mission To The Floridas, 1763, Robert R. Rea
Florida Historical Quarterly
The British acquisition of Florida and the Gulf coast from Spain and France in 1763 represented the rounding out of both continental and Caribbean boundaries, the fulfillment of Pitt’s triumphant vision of imperial expansion. But neither the Great Commoner nor the common Englishman had a very clear notion of those territories which were transformed into the provinces of East and West Florida. A misleading propaganda campaign might educate London coffeeshop habitués to the beauties and prospective riches of the new colonies, but the British army in North America needed more realistic information in order to establish that internal security upon …
Defeat In Victory: Yankee Experience In Early Civil War Jacksonville, Richard A. Martin
Defeat In Victory: Yankee Experience In Early Civil War Jacksonville, Richard A. Martin
Florida Historical Quarterly
It is something of an irony that Jacksonville, a sleepy town removed from the major centers of agitation prior to the Civil War, was affected so directly by the passions raging across the land. Jacksonville was settled by people from all parts of the country, many of whom earned a living catering to a cosmopolitan mix of travellers, including many from foreign lands. With a resident population about one-third southern, one-third northern, and one-third slave, Jacksonville was, in effect, a kind of national microcosm where the prevailing political controversies were acted out to their logical and disastrous ends.

A Woman Liberated: Lillian C. West, Editor, Bernadette K. Loftin
Florida Historical Quarterly
Lillian Carisle West's professional name, L. C. West, graced the masthead of the weekly Panama City Pilot from 1917 to 1937. She also managed or edited two other local papers, the St. Andrews Bay News and Lynn Haven Free Press, during part of this period, and she operated the Gulf Coast Development Company and the Panama City Publishing Company. Thus, for almost two decades, Mrs. West successfully assumed a leadership position generally reserved only for the male sex by the society of her time. How she managed to accomplish this feat in a small southern town where women’s struggle for …
The Enterprise Of Florida, Eugene Lyon
The Enterprise Of Florida, Eugene Lyon
Florida Historical Quarterly
Knowledge of Florida history tends to cluster around certain key events. Thus, the Spanish colonial period is marked by the Ponce de León and De Soto landings, the Drake raid of 1586, and the building of the Castillo de San Marcos. Interpretation of the first successful settlement of Florida by Pedro Menéndez de Avilés is centered upon the diplomatic and military drama culminating at Fort Caroline and at Matanzas. Woodbury Lowery and Henry Folmer have shown the Spanish-French clash of 1565 in its international setting. The spiritual aspect of the Menéndez conquest has been developed by a host of historians: …

The Pwa In Tampa: A Case Study, Charles B. Lowry
Florida Historical Quarterly
The stock market crash of 1929 and the ensuing depression resulted in the first attempts by the federal government to stimulate the economy on a massive scale at a time of economic collapse. President Hoover moved reluctantly in this area, but Franklin D. Roosevelt, although poorly grounded in economics, avidly applied Keynesian economic theory to an extent unacceptable to his Republican predecessor. The programs of the New Deal affected vast numbers of individuals and businesses, both large and small. The Tampa Shipbuilding and Engineering Company (T.S.&E.) founded by Ernest Kreher, a German immigrant, was among the latter. In 1932, while …
A Purely Business Motive: German-American Lumber Company, 1901-1918, Edward F. Keuchel
A Purely Business Motive: German-American Lumber Company, 1901-1918, Edward F. Keuchel
Florida Historical Quarterly
"The German-American Lumber Company had no motive except a purely business motive." So stated Gerhard Rolfs, treasurer of the company, as the federal government proceeded to take over this German-owned business during World War I. At issue was the charge that the firm was a front organization for German espionage operations during the war. This, as the evidence revealed, was not the case. Yet the emotional fervors of a nation at war had created suspicions about the alien-owned lumber company which had been an important part of Florida’s yellow-pine industry. The German-American Lumber Company was not a subversive organization. To …

A New Jersey Carpetbagger In Reconstruction Florida, Jerrell H. Shofner
A New Jersey Carpetbagger In Reconstruction Florida, Jerrell H. Shofner
Florida Historical Quarterly
During the troubled years following the Civil War many individuals from the North were involved in the economic, social, and political affairs of the former Confederate states. Because the elevation of freed blacks to full citizenship was one of their goals— and deeply resented by Southerners— these men were often castigated by contemporary native whites and subsequently by historians. Denounced as “carpetbaggers” who came into the South to plunder for personal gain while native leaders were disfranchised and unable to prevent it, these men received low marks from historians of all regions who studied the Reconstruction South.

East Florida In 1834: Letters Of Dr. John Durkee, W. Stanley Hoole
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the summer of 1833 Dr. John Durkee, for more than ten years a practicing physician in Meredith Bridge (now a part of Laconia), New Hampshire, traveled to East Florida for the benefit of his health.1 Settling in Jacksonville, a village of fewer than 250 people and about twenty houses and stores, he soon recuperated sufficiently to lead an active life.2 He rode horseback into the hinterland of Duval County, hunted, fished, and because of his scientific background interested himself primarily in such subjects as alligators, snakes, deer, birds, trees, cattle, soils, and Indian archeology. Meantime, he kept abreast of …

Spanish-Indian Relations In Florida, 1602-1675: Some Aspects Of Selected Visitas, Fred Lamar Pearson, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
The visita or inspection was an institution which dated back at least to the Egyptians and Persians. Spain, in particular, employed the investigation most efficiently to increase royal authority by acquiring political, economic, social, religious, and other types of information. The Laws of the Indies spelled out the form visitations should take. Visitadores, for example, had to announce their purpose upon arrival. They had to begin their work in the principal city of the area under investigation, check on fiscal conditions, and determine in the course of their inquiry whether crown law had been observed. Moreover, the leyes required the …

The Forbes Company In Spanish Florida, 1801-1806, David H. White
Florida Historical Quarterly
From 1783 to 1801 the trading company of Panton, Leslie had a virtual monopoly on the Indian trade in Spanish Florida. This organization, composed mostly of Britishers, was established during the British period in Florida and was allowed to continue operations after the retrocession of Florida to Spain in 1783. Its function was to supply the Indians with trade goods to bind them closer to Spain and, if possible, to prevent them from forming commercial ties with American or British traders. Theoretically, the company’s activities were confined to the Florida Indians, but the firm also traded with Indians and white …
