"The Most Exotic Of Our Cities": Race, Place, Writing, And George Allan England's Key West, Philip Levy
"The Most Exotic Of Our Cities": Race, Place, Writing, And George Allan England's Key West, Philip Levy
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the late 1920s, a prominent American writer arrived in Key West. He and his wife came to this Florida backwater to escape chilly winters and to carve out time for writing. Once settled in town, the writer gradually eased into the rhythms of Key West life. He built personal connections and began observing local characters who, in time, would re-emerge in his stories. He liked boats and the outdoors life. He had an inclination toward dangerous adventures and enjoyment of killing animals as well as an ability to convey these sentiments to audiences through popular literature. While in the …
The Servants And Mrs. Rawlings: Martha Mickens And African American Life At Cross Creek, Rebecca Sharpless
The Servants And Mrs. Rawlings: Martha Mickens And African American Life At Cross Creek, Rebecca Sharpless
Florida Historical Quarterly
The year is about 1940. It is evening at Cross Creek, the home of author Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, a simple wood-frame house set among working orange groves near Hawthorne in North Central Florida. An unknown photographer is documenting an evening of dining and entertainment for Rawlings and a group of her friends, who like the author are white people of means and accomplishment. One photograph focuses on three African American women who are standing in a row and singing, their eyes cast upward, accompanied by a man on the harmonica. A second man leans on the head of a guitar, …
From Adventure Travel To Leisure Tourism: The Florida Letters Of William Drysdale In The New York Times, 1884-1893, Jesus Mendez
From Adventure Travel To Leisure Tourism: The Florida Letters Of William Drysdale In The New York Times, 1884-1893, Jesus Mendez
Florida Historical Quarterly
William Drysdale was a fixture in newspaper circles of New York City in the late nineteenth century, a reporter and writer whose powers of observation and social commentary made him equally at home covering famous legal battles of the time or describing his travels over many years in the United States, Bermuda, the Bahamas, Mexico, the Caribbean and Europe. Fortunately for Florida, some of Drysdale's best literary pages chronicled important decades for the young state that would eventually build its fortune and its future on tourism. For 24 years, he wrote, often under the thinly disguised pseudonym of "W.D.", more …
Introduction: This Incomperable Lande, Maurice O'Sullivan
Introduction: This Incomperable Lande, Maurice O'Sullivan
Florida Historical Quarterly
Taking their cue from Michael Gannon, Florida's historians are fond of pointing out that by the time Jamestown was founded, St. Augustine was ready for urban renewal. Our state's literary scholars add that long before the Virginia Company established Jamestown, Florida already had an extensive library of works in three languages. From the beginning, that linguistic diversity would mark the region's literary tradition. While many of the earliest works about Florida, from Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca's La Relacion (popularly known as Naufragios) in 1542 to the Gentleman of Elvas' history of DeSoto's expedition in 1557, were in Spanish, other …
A Boy And His Fawn: Parallel Animals In A Trip To Florida For Health And Sport And The Yearling, Kathryn Seidel
A Boy And His Fawn: Parallel Animals In A Trip To Florida For Health And Sport And The Yearling, Kathryn Seidel
Florida Historical Quarterly
In Florida literature, the relationship between people and animals is ubiquitous and complex. Whether animals are hunted, eaten, despised, or cherished as companions and pets, animals express the authors' attempt to conceptualize nature and to understand the role of humans within the natural world of Florida.1 When the main characters of the novels are boys, the themes of nature interweave with those of the coming-of-age novel in which the maturation of the boy depends on learning the skills, responsibilities, and character traits associated with manhood.2

Administrative Recalcitrance And Government Intervention: Desegregation At The University Of Florida, 1962-1972, Jessica Clawson
Administrative Recalcitrance And Government Intervention: Desegregation At The University Of Florida, 1962-1972, Jessica Clawson
Florida Historical Quarterly
The desegregation of American schools in the wake of the Supreme Court's 1954 Brown v. Board of Education was often long, slow, violent, and varied considerably based on location, leadership, and community attitudes.1 The national political climate also influenced local responses to desegregation, as grassroots conservatism took hold in the post-war era.2 Although white segregationists made pledges never to submit to racial integration, many southern white leaders subtly and strategically accommodated civil rights activists and the federal government. Their compromises helped preserve white elite priorities while casting the struggle against civil rights activists as part of a national battle to …
Uninvited Guests: A Night At Cedar Point Plantation, Patrick W. Doyle
Uninvited Guests: A Night At Cedar Point Plantation, Patrick W. Doyle
Florida Historical Quarterly
In October 1817 a mariner's mistake at the entrance of the St. Johns River and a subsequent mishap proved fortuitous in preserving a rare glimpse of plantation life in Spanish East Florida in a time of turmoil. Documents describing these events reveal details regarding the humiliating dispossession of Spanish authority on Amelia Island and its town of Fernandina, first by filibusters led by Gregor McGregor and later by rogues headed by the pirate Luis Aury.
"Secrecy Has No Excuse": The Florida Land Boom, Tourism, And The 1926 Smallpox Epidemic In Tampa And Miami, Eric Jarvis
"Secrecy Has No Excuse": The Florida Land Boom, Tourism, And The 1926 Smallpox Epidemic In Tampa And Miami, Eric Jarvis
Florida Historical Quarterly
Historians frequently have identified the period from roughly 1921 to 1926 in Florida as the Land Boom, or simply, the Boom. It is usually analyzed through the prism of the Roaring Twenties in the United States, a time best symbolized in the state by a frenzied real estate market, overinflated land prices, and massive speculation. Miami and south Florida received much of the attention, but there were important aspects of boomtime mania in many parts of the state, including the Tampa area. A booster-driven public relations blitz made up of promotional advertising, business propaganda, and glowing press releases fuelled the …
Cuban Exiles In Key West During The Ten Years' War, 1868-1878, Antonio Rafael De La Cova
Cuban Exiles In Key West During The Ten Years' War, 1868-1878, Antonio Rafael De La Cova
Florida Historical Quarterly
The upheaval of the Cuban Ten Years' War (10 October 1868-10 February 1878) prompted the largest number of refugees fleeing the island to settle ninety miles away in Key West, Florida, the southernmost point of the United States. Although the expatriates transformed the physical landscape of the coral and limestone reef and modified its social, economic, and political order, there has been no demographic study or precise statistics on the Cubans in Key West during that decade. Likewise, accurate statistical data is lacking for Cubans in the United States throughout the nineteenth century. In 1870, Key West had the second …

A Translation History Of Fontaneda, Peter Ferdinando
A Translation History Of Fontaneda, Peter Ferdinando
Florida Historical Quarterly
The captivity of Hernando de Escalante Fontaneda by the Calusa Indians led to the creation of a series of documents that vividly depict the indigenous peoples of southern Florida. These writings clearly have proto-ethnographic qualities. Students of Florida history and archaeology have frequently utilized this information to better understand native peoples who lived on the peninsula.2 In the case of Fontaneda's writings, however, we must ask vital questions about translation. He wrote in sixteenth century Spanish, yet the current lingua franca of the academic and research community in the United States is the English of the twenty-first century. This paper …

Selling Seduction: Women And Feminine Nature In 1920s Florida Advertising, Nicole C. Cox
Selling Seduction: Women And Feminine Nature In 1920s Florida Advertising, Nicole C. Cox
Florida Historical Quarterly
In 1925, Tampa's Booster Record and Publishing Company debuted its latest jingle, "Tampa Steps Out," with words and music by Frank W. Salley. The song, and many others like it, promoted the state and the city of Tampa during the 1920s real estate frenzy known as the Florida land boom. Following the United States' long booster musical tradition, Florida songbooks featured colorful pictorial covers designed to function as a sort of billboard depicting the region's charms and progress. City and state developers, hotel proprietors, real-estate salesmen, and other boosters engaged professional songwriters, including the renowned Irving Berlin, to develop original …

" … In A Strange Piace ... ": The Experiences Of British Women During The Colonization Of East & West Florida, Deborah L. Bauer
Florida Historical Quarterly
In April 1767, a young woman named Miss Row married a man who had proposed to her several times over the past year and a half despite the fact that he was not the same man with whom she had engaged in a torrid affair in British East Florida.1 When Miss Row married William Gerard De Brahm, a German who recently had been appointed as Surveyor General of the Southern Colonies, it ended a tumultuous period in her life that had begun when she immigrated to East Florida sometime between late 1764 and early 1766. 2 Within a few months …

Freezes, Fights, And Fancy: The Formation Of Agricultural Cooperatives In The Florida Citrus Industry, Scott Hussey
Freezes, Fights, And Fancy: The Formation Of Agricultural Cooperatives In The Florida Citrus Industry, Scott Hussey
Florida Historical Quarterly
In Majorie Kinnan Rawlings' autobiographical Cross Creek, the author recalls the actions taken in her orange grove while preparing for a freeze: "Night came and the temperature dropped steadily. The fatal 28 came at midnight and I gave word for the lighting of the fires ... The work is so cruel that it seems to me the least I can do is take care of the men properly ... There is a healthy challenge and danger and a certain spiritual sustenance comes from fighting it. For all the losses they have cost me, I would not choose to have lived …
Thomas De Saliere Tucker: Reconciling Industrial And Liberal Arts Education At Florida's Normal School For Colored Teachers, 1887-1901, Peter A. Dumbuya
Thomas De Saliere Tucker: Reconciling Industrial And Liberal Arts Education At Florida's Normal School For Colored Teachers, 1887-1901, Peter A. Dumbuya
Florida Historical Quarterly
At one and the same time, Thomas de Saliere Tucker's life and career in academia exemplified the triumph of liberty and human rights over slavery in the second half of the 19th century and the difficulty often encountered by those who challenged the long-held notion that equal education could be provided to blacks and whites in separate but equal educational institutions. In 1889 the Florida Superintendent of Public Instruction proclaimed that "it has become a settled policy in the State that competent colored teachers shall be employed to teach the colored children and youth."1 Seven years later, the United States …
Murder, Insanity And The Efficacy Of Woman's Role: The Gwendolyn Hoyt Case, George B. Crawford
Murder, Insanity And The Efficacy Of Woman's Role: The Gwendolyn Hoyt Case, George B. Crawford
Florida Historical Quarterly
Shortly before 1 a.m. on 20 September 1957 Gwendolyn Hoyt, a 32-year-old Tampa housewife, lost any semblance of self-possession as she flew into a rage and crushed her husband's forehead and face with a baseball bat. Her subsequent trial for murder initiated a lengthy series of legal proceedings that highlighted the power of a shared assumption about the role of women in U.S. society during the 1950's. Despite the emergence of social, economic and intellectual forces to challenge such a conception, the notion of a legally sanctioned, prescribed woman's role informed the treatment of the case by attorneys, judges and …

William Augustus Bowles On The Gulf Coast, 1787-1803: Unraveling A Labyrinthine Conumdrum, Gilbert C. Din
Florida Historical Quarterly
Colorful William Augustus Bowles has presented problems to historians for as long as they have written about him. He purposely promoted confusion about himself to inflate his personality and achievements, and historians unacquainted with his devious machinations made them worse by repeating them. One egregious error mixed him up with Billy Bowlegs (Holata Micco), a nineteenth-century Seminole chief, and he sometimes was called Billy Bowles, a moniker absent in the multitude of contemporary documents written by and about him.1 The most common mistake describes him as the director general of the Creeks. Though Bowles gained military sway over a group …
