Henry S. Sanford And Labor Problems In The Florida Orange Industry, Richard J. Amundson
Henry S. Sanford And Labor Problems In The Florida Orange Industry, Richard J. Amundson
Florida Historical Quarterly
Henry Shelton Sandord, direct descendant of Thomas Sanford who had come to Massachusetts in the 1630’s, made many contributions to the economic welfare of the United States and particularly to Florida, his “adopted state.” Sanford’s foresight and his sizable investments promoted the growth and prosperity of the orange culture in central Florida. His adoption of modern equipment and scientific methods of cultivation, including selective cross-breeding of citrus stocks and the use of irrigation, speeded the so-called “orange revolution” which occurred in the post-Civil War period. Progress and change, however, often are opposed, and so it was with Sanford’s efforts to …
Confederate Railroad Construction: The Live Oak To Lawton Connector, Jerrell H. Shofner
Confederate Railroad Construction: The Live Oak To Lawton Connector, Jerrell H. Shofner
Florida Historical Quarterly
One of the Confederacy’s most perplexing problems involved combining the disconnected southern railroads into a system of transportation between the various parts of the South. Lack of equipment and enemy action were major reasons for the failure to solve the problem. The Confederate government also pursued the disastrous policy of relying as much as possible on private initiative to supply its needs.
The Battle Of Olustee: Its Meaning For The British, Lawrence E. Breeze
The Battle Of Olustee: Its Meaning For The British, Lawrence E. Breeze
Florida Historical Quarterly
Early in February 1864, Major General Quincy A. Gillmore, commanding the Federal Department of the South with headquarters at Hilton Head, South Carolina, ordered Brigadier General Truman Seymour, commander of the District of Hilton Head, to prepare his forces for a seaborne expedition. Subsequent orders, issued after the embarkation of the troops, directed the expedition to the east coast of Florida. On February 7, Seymour’s forces reached the mouth of the St. Johns River. They ascended the river to Jacksonville and soon took possession of the town. Meeting only token resistance in the area, they began raiding operations outward from …

David Sholtz: New Deal Governor Of Florida, Merlin G. Cox
David Sholtz: New Deal Governor Of Florida, Merlin G. Cox
Florida Historical Quarterly
David Sholtz, New Deal governor of Florida, was not of the familiar cloth from which Florida governors are made. He believed when he began his campaign in 1932, that only a candidate who was cut from an unfamiliar pattern could be elected governor. Alfred Green and Roger West, who were associated with him in the practice of law in Daytona Beach, at first ridiculed Sholtz’ plan to run without the support of the “courthouse ring” in Volusia County. But David Sholtz wanted to be governor, and so he paid the filing fee, entered the race, and convinced a majority of …

Republicans, Bull Moose, And Negroes In Florida, 1912, G. N. Green
Florida Historical Quarterly
During the early weeks of 1912, President William Howard Taft became ruefully aware that a former White House occupant, Theodore Roosevelt, would be his major opponent when the Republican Party held its presidential nominating convention at Chicago in June. Taft’s political aides were scouring the southern states, searching out Roosevelt Republican office-holders and dismissing them whenever found. Local postmasters were advised that if they did not bring a pro-Taft delegation to their state convention, they would no longer be deemed available for reappointment. Another Taft strategem was to hold the southern state conventions ahead of the usual time and before …

Florida Historical Quarterly

A state legislature with a large Republican majority in both houses was also elected.
State-Supported Higher Education Among Negroes In The State Of Florida, Leedell W. Neyland
State-Supported Higher Education Among Negroes In The State Of Florida, Leedell W. Neyland
Florida Historical Quarterly
State-supported higher education among Negroes in Florida had its beginning during the decade of the 1880’s. The initial step in this new educational venture was taken by Governor William D. Bloxham who, during his first administration, vigorously set forth a threefold economic and social program. In his inaugural address he declared that in order to promote the interest, welfare, and prosperity of the state, "we must invite a healthy immigration; develop our natural resources by securing proper transportation; and educate the rising generation." He promulgated this combination as "the three links in a grand chain of progress upon which we …

A British Report On West Florida And Louisiana, November, 1812, Richard K. Murdoch
Florida Historical Quarterly
After returning the two Floridas to Spain by the Treaty of Paris of 1783, England watched with satisfaction while her thirteen former colonies struggled to reach agreement with the government in Madrid on the thorny problem of the southeastern boundary. The Treaty of San Lorenzo of 1795 failed to satisfy either party and the Louisiana Purchase of 1803 further confused the problem by introducing boundary claims in the region west of the Mississippi River. The suggestion to use force to achieve a permanent settlement with Spain was heard with increasing frequency in Washington. Even Thomas Jefferson, in retirement at Monticello, …
The Fort King Road, 1963, William M. Goza
The Fort King Road, 1963, William M. Goza
Florida Historical Quarterly
In 1825, the territory of Florida was sparsely settled and little traveled. Fort Brooke, named for its first commander, Colonel George Mercer Brooke, and located where the Hillsborough River meets Old Tampa Bay, was a scant two years old. In that year, Indian Agent Colonel Gad Humphries established an agency near the present city of Ocala, preceding by some two years the occupation of Fort King on a nearby knoll. Realizing the need to connect its outposts by overland routes, Congress appropriated $12,000 to build a road from the northern boundary of the territory to Fort Brooke. The road was …

The Indian River Settlement: 1842-1849, Joseph D. Cushman, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
No section of the Territory of Florida suffered more than the east coast as a result of Indian deprecations during the Seminole War. The flourishing sugar plantations of the Halifax country were reduced to charred ruins, the tiny port of New Smyrna was entirely deserted, and the infant citrus industry suffered a staggering setback just as it was beginning to show signs of prosperity. After seven years of fighting, many Floridians gravely doubted the truth of General William Worth’s pontifical pronouncement that the Seminole conflict would be “officially” terminated on August 12, 1842. The settlers were alarmed at the naivete …

Eat Like A White Man: Meat-Eating, Masculinity, And Neo-Colonialism, Saphronia Carson
Eat Like A White Man: Meat-Eating, Masculinity, And Neo-Colonialism, Saphronia Carson
The Pegasus Review: UCF Undergraduate Research Journal
Gender Studies scholarship has argued that one significant way contemporary hegemonic masculinities are constructed and reinforced is through meat consumption. Conversely, plant-based diets such as veganism and vegetarianism are considered feminine. This paper builds on an emerging body of research that traces this gendering of meat and plant-based diets to British colonialism in India. Drawing on ecofeminist and postcolonial theory, it shows how British colonizers feminized Indian dietary cultures, specifically Hindu vegetarian diets, to reinforce their own sense of masculinity. Through critical analyses of marketing and media, it demonstrates how these colonial gendered food images continue to populate contemporary imaginations. …
The Trans Issue, Richard C. Crepeau
The Trans Issue, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
The first time that I remember the issue of gender and sport being raised was sometime in the 1960s when charges surfaced at the Olympics concerning the East German women’s track and field team. Their success led some in the west, especially the Americans, to charge that some female athletes from East Germany and the Soviet Union were, in fact, males. For the most part, I dismissed these claims as the complaints of bad losers. Others treated the charges more seriously, and sex tests came to the European Games in 1966 and the Olympic Games in 1968.
