Whether the source of the Manatee River was really the “Fountain of Youth” for which Ponce de Leon searched in vain is a question for historians - or geographers - to argue about. But, in its early days, the little town of Manatee really did have a “Fountain of Youth.” At least, it was named that. It was not exactly a fountain, but a little spring of clear, cold water bubbling up out of the ground, with a gourd hung on a nearby oak tree from which to drink.
The Democrat, Arthur Kennerly
The Democrat, Arthur Kennerly
Florida Historical Quarterly
For more than fifty years The Tallahassee Democrat has been the major newspaper of the capital city of Florida. * In the half-century since it first appeared, the newspaper has frequently changed its “face” and has been challenged by several short-lived local rival publications. But no matter how much opposition it has had and regardless of how many readers curse it, The Democrat has survived and prospered.
Zangara's Attempted Assassination Of Franklin D. Roosevelt, Nathan D. Shappee
Zangara's Attempted Assassination Of Franklin D. Roosevelt, Nathan D. Shappee
Florida Historical Quarterly
A communitiy's moment in history is not usually of its own choosing but comes as some unwanted thing which can be embarrassing and completely frightening. Such was the unhappy fate of Miami on the evening of February 15, 1933 when Giuseppe Zangara tried to assassinate President-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt with an $8.00 pistol. The attempt failed but Mayor Anton J. Cermak of Chicago died from a bullet wound. And Zangara was electrocuted for his crime.

Economic Problems Of Florida Governors, 1700-1763, John J. Tepaske
Economic Problems Of Florida Governors, 1700-1763, John J. Tepaske
Florida Historical Quarterly
Many problems plagued the eighteenth-century Florida governor, but none vexed him more than the economic plight of his settlement. Florida was a poverty-stricken military outpost of the Spanish Empire on the northeastern fringe of New Spain. It was unable to sustain itself with mining or agricultural enterprises and was wholly dependent upon outside aid for its existence. Want, misery, and destitution were the lot of the soldiers and their families living in this unpopular community. Securing money and supplies for them was the governor’s greatest single responsibility; no colonial question received his more devoted attention.
What Became Of The Man Who Cut Off Jenkins' Ear?, Edward W. Lawson
What Became Of The Man Who Cut Off Jenkins' Ear?, Edward W. Lawson
Florida Historical Quarterly
Almost all histories mention the unfortunate experience of Master Robert Jenkins who achieved fame by giving his name to the War of Jenkins’ Ear. Some even tell that the man who removed Jenkins’ auricle was called Fandino, captain of a Spanish Coast Guard. What ultimately became of Fandino remains a mystery. He deserves better recognition in the history of Florida, for it was he who was largely responsible for the failure of General James Oglethorpe to capture St. Augustine’s Castillo de San Marcos, and hence the abandonment of the siege of our oldest city by the English in 1740.
Population Change As An Element In The Historical Geography Of St. Augustine, John R. Dunkle
Population Change As An Element In The Historical Geography Of St. Augustine, John R. Dunkle
Florida Historical Quarterly
The History of St Augustine, like the history of every place, is an intricate drama of personalities and events set against a backdrop of the physical and cultural environment. This paper attempts to outline the pattern of one facet of the cultural background: population. It is believed that this may be justified by the fact that population changes correlate with events and shed light on those events. Further, population changes serve as an index to changes in economy.

Social Robots As The Bride? Understanding The Construction Of Gender In A Japanese Social Robot Product, Jindong Liu
Social Robots As The Bride? Understanding The Construction Of Gender In A Japanese Social Robot Product, Jindong Liu
Human-Machine Communication
This study critically investigates the construction of gender on a Japanese hologram animestyle social robot Azuma Hikari. By applying a mixed method merging the visual semiotic method and heterogeneous engineering approach in software studies, the signs in Azuma Hikari’s anthropomorphized image and the interactivity enabled by the multimedia interface have been analyzed and discussed. The analysis revealed a stereotyped representation of a Japanese “ideal bride” who should be cute, sexy, comforting, good at housework, and subordinated to “Master”-like husband. Moreover, the device interface disciplines users to play the role of “wage earner” in the simulated marriage and reconstructs the gender …

The Florida Secession Convention, Ralph A. Wooster
The Florida Secession Convention, Ralph A. Wooster
Florida Historical Quarterly
The secession movement of 1851-52 received little support in Florida. Although the Compromise of 1850 was never very popular in the state, a majority of the citizenry accepted it as a solution to the sectional controversy. An indication of this sentiment was the re-election of Representative Edward C. Cabell in November, 1850, over Major John Beard. Cabell, who had voted against the Compromise proposals in the House, favored acquiescence to them once they had passed; Beard, the Democratic candidate, had stated he would resist the Compromise to the end. Cabell’s re-election was a victory for Florida unionists.
Some Letters To His Parents By A Floridian In The Confederate Army, Gilbert Wright
Some Letters To His Parents By A Floridian In The Confederate Army, Gilbert Wright
Florida Historical Quarterly
The nineteen to twenty-two-year-old author of the letters that follow was destined, after the Civil War, to become a distinguished citizen of his native state. His death in 1908 was mourned by many hundreds “in all walks of life.” He had been active for more than forty years in the railroad enterprise, so important to the development of Florida. His rise in a few decades from clerk to first vice president in the Florida railroad world gave evidence that he possessed qualities for leadership. One may perceive, without reading between the lines, that the young soldier had these qualities.
Letters From The Second Seminole War, John K. Mahon
Letters From The Second Seminole War, John K. Mahon
Florida Historical Quarterly
These pages are built around fragments drawn from the letters and diary entries written by Joseph R. Smith. They contain nothing important enough to require a reinterpretation of the Second Seminole War, 1835-1842; indeed they have little significance except that they enlarge the printed record left by the people who lived at that time. This record helps us, in spite of the one hundred and thirty years lying between, to bring to life their interesting era.
Life At Fort Brooke, 1824-1836, James W. Covington
Life At Fort Brooke, 1824-1836, James W. Covington
Florida Historical Quarterly
In January, 1824 the military post known as Cantonment Brooke and later as Fort Brooke * was established at the juncture of Hillsborough River and the bay bearing the same name. There were many sites more suitable or a fort which could be found along the shores and islands of Tampa Bay; but the land at the chosen location had already been cleared and a house and wharf erected by Robert Hackley, a gentleman from New York who believed that his father held title to the land. Incidently, Hackley had left the property in charge of an overseer so that …
Florida Reconstruction Impeachments, Cortez A. M. Ewing
Florida Reconstruction Impeachments, Cortez A. M. Ewing
Florida Historical Quarterly
The impeachment of Governor Harrison Reed not only contributes an interesting chapter to the history of Reconstruction but it also offers a number of novel precedents to the history of American impeachments. Throughout his gubernatorial term (1868-1872), Reed fought a consistent and courageous struggle against carpetbag politicians in Florida. I know of no other state or national civil officer against whom the impeachment remedy was so frequently attempted. On four occasions, he was threatened with legislative removal. Twice the lower house passed impeachment resolutions. Finally, in the last year of his term, his enemies voted a bona fide and legal …

Letters Of A Carpetbagger In Florida, 1866-1869, George E. Osborn
Letters Of A Carpetbagger In Florida, 1866-1869, George E. Osborn
Florida Historical Quarterly
These letters, written by Daniel Richards to Elihu B. Washburne, throw considerable light on the hectic days of Reconstruction in Florida. Not only do these friendly messages reveal much of what the author actually witnessed of the United States military occupation in the peninsula state but a number of referenes are made to the chaotic economic conditions which existed generally at that time. Although Florida had fewer Negroes in proportion to population than some of the former Confederate states, the problem of relations between the races was one with great complexities. At least some of the obstacles to the establishment …
The Cession Of Florida And John Quincy Adams, Secretary Of State, Lester Harris
The Cession Of Florida And John Quincy Adams, Secretary Of State, Lester Harris
Florida Historical Quarterly
The cession of the Floridas stands out as one of the greatest victories in the history of American diplomacy. Ownership of Florida insured to the United States a continuous seaboard on the Atlantic Ocean. It led to the recognition by the United States of the South American colonies, then in revolt against Spain. The treaty with Spain gave the United States its first recognized claim to the western lands bordering on the Pacific Ocean. 2 It became the basis for the acquisition of Oregon and Washington, and parts of present day Montana and Idaho. Cession led directly to the Monroe …
Autobiography Of William Marvin, Kevin E. Kearney
Autobiography Of William Marvin, Kevin E. Kearney
Florida Historical Quarterly
Sixty-five years ago, a venerable man in Skaneateles, New York, set himself to the task of recording the events of his life. What William Marvin wrote between the pages of a lined composition notebook was more than an autobiography. It was a chapter in American history. What is even more significant is that much of what Marvin recounted pertained to the history of Florida during the critical years 1835-1866, a period which found the nation challenged with the issues of union, disunion, and reunion. The story which follows, then, is the story of a man who served Florida during the …
