The Making Of Florida's "Criminal Class": Race, Modernity, And The Convict Leasing Program, 1877-1919, Connon Donegan
Florida Historical Quarterly
"To degrade a white man by physical punishment is to make a bad member of society and a dangerous political element," so declared the report ofthe three person committee appointed by the delegates to Florida's 1865 constitutional convention. Their charge was to facilitate the drafting of a new legal code in conformity with the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, abolishing slavery and involuntary servitude except as punishment for a duly convicted crime. The criminal code enacted in the legislative sessions of 1865 and 1866 embodied the conviction of the formerly-Confederate lawmakers that the State of Florida would continue …
Volusia And Vibilia: Companion Plantations On The St. Johns River In Spanish And Territorial East Florida, Lani Friend
Volusia And Vibilia: Companion Plantations On The St. Johns River In Spanish And Territorial East Florida, Lani Friend
Florida Historical Quarterly
The names Volusia and Vibilia are mellifluous, "soft and pleasing to the ear." These are words used by Horatio Dexter to describe the Seminole language, but they are well suited to the names of these Spanish land grant plantations on the St.Johns River. Volusia and Vibilia seem to belong together because they do-they share a semantic affinity; they originate from a common cultural source; they were likely bestowed by the same person/s; and the lands bearing the names are closely linked in their history and development. Volusia and Vibilia were companion plantations in Spanish and Territorial East Florida.

The Sunshine State In Darkness: A Digital Approach To Florida And World War I, Michael Burke
The Sunshine State In Darkness: A Digital Approach To Florida And World War I, Michael Burke
Florida Historical Quarterly
John F. Pierce of Orlando, Florida, World War I Service Number 29958318, Company C of the 807th Pioneer Infantry served in the US Army from July 21, 1918 to July 1919. These static pieces of information are found on the World War I service card for Private Pierce. A thirty-two-year-old African American, Pierce came from the segregated community of Parramore in Orlando. Like other black communities across Florida and the South, Parramore's leaders encouraged young African American men to join the fight in World War I in the hope that evidence of honorable military service would improve black access to …

All Disquiet On The Home Front: World War I And Florida, 1914-1920, Gary R. Mormino
Florida Historical Quarterly
On the eve of the First World War, the United States viewed events in Europe through a filter of isolationism and neutrality. Two vast oceans had reinforced an inclination toward internal affairs and paranoia, while engendering suspicion of diplomatic alliances and foreign revolutions. But events in faraway places-Sarajevo, St. Petersburg, and the Somme-made isolation impossible and neutrality improbable.
War, Fear, And Bread In Tampa, 1917-1918, Andy Huse
War, Fear, And Bread In Tampa, 1917-1918, Andy Huse
Florida Historical Quarterly
In early Febrnary 1917, two months before the U.S. entered World War I, local authorities in Tampa, Florida, required German aliens over age thirteen to register with the federal government. That same month, the city's German-American Club entered an extravagant float in the city's annual Gasparilla Fiesta parade. The float, one of only six that year, depicted a mighty waterfall. The Great War cast a long and dark shadow, unleashing a flood of fierce nationalism and suspicion across the U.S. home front. The conflict gave a new focus and urgency to anti-immigration fears across the nation, and the presence of …

Men Of The West: Entrepreneurs And American Expansion In The East Florida Borderlands, 1812-1845, Matthew Saionz
Men Of The West: Entrepreneurs And American Expansion In The East Florida Borderlands, 1812-1845, Matthew Saionz
Florida Historical Quarterly
On July 16, 1844, Robert Christie, a London businessman, wrote to his distant relative, Floridian James Ormond III. "You men of the West," he observed, "certainly surprise the folk of the East by your perseverance and intrepidity of character."1 Although the particular nature of his relationship with Ormond is unclear, Christie's commentary on the character of "men of the West" stands out in a letter that, on the whole, consists of rather mundane personal matters. In this instance, Christie posits an interesting dichotomy that casts the decidedly more enterprising Americans (men of the West) opposite the British, or, more generally, …

Tampa's Multi-Purposed Waterway: An Environmental History Of The Hillsborough River, 1950-1980, Brad Massey
Florida Historical Quarterly
Hillsborough River State Park rangers Mike Evans and Brian Polk could not bear it anymore. For three weeks in February of 1981 they watched hundreds of dead fish float underneath the live oak-canopied Hillsborough River waters of their wilderness park, their bloated carcasses bobbing in the water and putrefying the air. Now, determined to find the cause of the slaughter, they boarded a canoe and paddled into Blackwater Creek, a Hillsborough River tributary. They did not make it far.

"The Greatest Dissemblers In The World": Timucuas, Spaniards, And The Fall Of Fort Caroline, Christophe J.M. Boucher
"The Greatest Dissemblers In The World": Timucuas, Spaniards, And The Fall Of Fort Caroline, Christophe J.M. Boucher
Florida Historical Quarterly
At dawn, September 20, 1565, four hundred Spanish soldiers under the command of the Adelantado (military governor) Pedro Menendez de Aviles launched a surprise attack on Fort Caroline, a French outpost located in the lower reaches of what is today the St. Johns River in northern Florida. The assault could not have come at a worse time for the fort's residents. Ten days earlier, most of the fighting men in the settlement had sailed south to St. Augustine with Jean Ribault to launch a preemptive strike against Menendez, who had just landed in the area. What could have been a …

Camp Blanding In World War Ii: The Early Years, George E. Cressman, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
The history of Camp Blanding, a World War II training facility, has its origins in the Florida National Guard. Beginning in 1907, the Florida National Guard trained at Black Point on the St. Johns River, just southwest of Jacksonville. The War Department held an adjacent site where many ranges were located. Training involved some monthly drill periods, but focused primarily on summer encampments.
The Path To No-Fault: Florida Automobile Insurance To 1971, Karl Miller
The Path To No-Fault: Florida Automobile Insurance To 1971, Karl Miller
Florida Historical Quarterly
Within a short period at the start of the twentieth century, the automobile emerged in Florida, rapidly displacing other modes of transportation and dramatically transforming the state. The arrival of automobility, however, brought widespread bodily injury and property damage to Floridians. In order to help mitigate the economic cost of these accidents, automobile insurance arose. The interaction of the Florida government and the automobile insurance industry over several decades culminated in the passage of the Florida Automobile Reparations Reform Act of 1971, a landmark legislative act that comprehensively formalized Florida's handling of the automobile insurance industry. This article attempts to …
New Deal Public Works In The Florida Panhandle, 1933-1940, Robert Krause
New Deal Public Works In The Florida Panhandle, 1933-1940, Robert Krause
Florida Historical Quarterly
The 1930s represented a time of profound change in the South as it did across the nation. An examination of New Deal agencies and their public works in the Florida Panhandle highlights the dynamic character of federal projects and their impact upon human and natural landscapes. Federal aid in the form of public works projects in the sixteen western panhandle counties created a visibly-new world for residents. 1 The construction of roads and towns in previously-raw coastal timberlands led to a transformation of place and the emergence of not only new commercial and recreational spaces, but the development of a …
