The Catholic Diocese Of Miami And African American Desegregation, Mark Newman Apr 2022

The Catholic Diocese Of Miami And African American Desegregation, Mark Newman

Florida Historical Quarterly

In recent years, scholars have revised the traditional interpretation of Florida as being more moderate and progressive during the civil rights era than other southern states. They have also challenged the view that an influx of white northern migrants to south Florida made the region and state more amenable to desegregation. According to recent scholarship, even after state government officials reluctantly desegregated public accommodations as a result of the federal Civil Rights Act of l964, in south Florida, as elsewhere in the South, whites and African Americans remained largely residentially separate. Disputes over these issues had other ramifications as well. …

Blue Water, Brown Water, And Confederate Disloyalty: The Peculiar And Personal Naval Conflict In South Florida During The Civil War, Irvin D. S. Winsboro Apr 2022

Blue Water, Brown Water, And Confederate Disloyalty: The Peculiar And Personal Naval Conflict In South Florida During The Civil War, Irvin D. S. Winsboro

Florida Historical Quarterly

As Florida's political leaders voted on January 10, 1861, to follow the secessionist lead of South Carolina and Mississippi, former Florida Territorial Governor Richard Keith Call observed the multiple and shifting solidarities of the state and warned the winning faction that "you have opened the gates of Hell." Call's premonition swayed few power-brokers in Tallahassee, yet his words proved prophetic. Only in recent decades have historians of Florida's Civil War probed past the traditional interpretations of the state's experience as a "trifling affair" to establish how disruptive and hellish the conflict was on and to the home front. Indeed, scholars …

Crime And Punishment In Antebellum Pensacola, James M. Denham Apr 2022

Crime And Punishment In Antebellum Pensacola, James M. Denham

Florida Historical Quarterly

In the spring of 1828 Pensacola, Florida suffered a serious crime wave. The Escambia County Grand Jury with a "highly laudable determination to do their duty," found twenty bills of indictment after a "most laborious session of thirteen days. The panel indicted two men named Alvarez and Gray for murder, though both remained at large throughout the entire session. Convicted mail robber Martin Hutto escaped for the second time with a convicted burglar named Enoch Hoye who received the customary punishment for thieves: thirty-nine lashes (with ten extra stripes thrown in for good measure) and two hours on the pillory. …

2010 Friends Of The Florida Historical Society Keynote Lecture: The First Coming Of Judeo-Christian Religion To Florida, Michael Gannon

Florida Historical Quarterly

We are foregathered this evening in what I like to call the United States' City of Centuries- four and a half to be exact come 2015. Among this city's many claims is that it served as the American nation's cradle of Western religion. Here in 1565 was founded the first Christian parish, named after the fifth century North African bishop and theologian Augustine of Hippo. Here, too, in 1587, was established the first Christian mission, named Nombre de Dios, to the native peoples of North America north of Mexico. In turn, those religious institutions gave rise to our state's and …

"The Most Exotic Of Our Cities": Race, Place, Writing, And George Allan England's Key West, Philip Levy Apr 2022

"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 Apr 2022

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 Apr 2022

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 Apr 2022

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 Apr 2022

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 Apr 2022

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 Apr 2022

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 Apr 2022

"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 Apr 2022

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 Apr 2022

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 Apr 2022

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 …
