Aspects Of The Development And Exploration Of The Forbes Purchase, John C. Upchurch Jul 2021

Aspects Of The Development And Exploration Of The Forbes Purchase, John C. Upchurch

Florida Historical Quarterly

Attempts at land speculation have been common in the United States. In Florida an early attempt involved an immense tract of land known as the “Forbes Purchase.” This territory, situated in the north-central part of the state bordering the Gulf of Mexico, was the object of exploitation as a unit for approximately fifty-seven years, 1804-1861. First under the trading firm of Panton, Leslie and Company and its successor John Forbes and Company, and later under the Apalachicola Land Company, this practically virgin wilderness was explored, surveyed, and to a degree developed.

Florida Courts And The Disputed Election Of 1876, Jerrell H. Shofner Jul 2021

Florida Courts And The Disputed Election Of 1876, Jerrell H. Shofner

Florida Historical Quarterly

When the election of November 7, 1876 failed to resolve the presidential contest between Republican Rutherford B. Hayes and Democrat Samuel J. Tilden because of uncertain results in Florida, Louisiana, and South Carolina, both national parties sent prominent representatives to the three southern capitals to observe and work for their partys’ interests. With Tilden only one electoral vote short of victory, the Republicans needed every one of the nineteen disputed votes. Because there had been less violence and corruption in Florida and because only a few votes separated the parties, many politicians believed it to be the crucial state. Under …

Florida And Rumrunning During National Prohibition, James A. Carter, Iii Jul 2021

Florida And Rumrunning During National Prohibition, James A. Carter, Iii

Florida Historical Quarterly

Few periods in Florida's long, colorful history equal the excitement and turbulence of those years when national prohibition was in effect. From the outset of the "Noble Experiment" in 1920 it was apparent to even the most casual observer of events that the state was destined to play a starring role in the drama of that era. The proximity of the Bahamas and the Caribbean islands, coupled with an extensive coastline indented with innumerable bays and inlets, was a boon to liquor smuggling and rumrunning as enforcement agents quickly discovered.

Port Of Apalachicola, Harry P. Owens Jul 2021

Port Of Apalachicola, Harry P. Owens

Florida Historical Quarterly

When Chief Justice John Marshall handed down a decision on the Forbes Purchase claims Apalachicola entered a new phase in its development. The recently organized Apalachicola Land Company exerted its efforts to develop a major cotton port. Some citizens, dissatisfied with the Apalachicola Land Company, began a rival port on St. Joseph Bay. St. Joseph failed to develop as a commercial center and it ceased to exist by 1842. During the two decades before the Civil War, Apalachicola experienced prosperity to such a degree that it became the thrid largest cotton port on the Gulf of Mexico.

Theme - Tableware Designed With Love

SIGNED: The Magazine of The Hong Kong Design Institute

Eating is such a fundamental and enjoyable part of being human. However, for those dealing with age-related conditions such as Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease the simple task of feeding oneself is far from straightforward. Struggling at mealtime not only endangers ones' health, but just as importantly, it comes with a sense of helplessness and embarrassment that causes additional emotional suffering and puts stress on relationships.

Theme - Sharing About Death Gives Meaning To Life

SIGNED: The Magazine of The Hong Kong Design Institute

Sitting in a group talking about the best ways to finish up one's life may seem a bit morbid, but the reality is it can be very life-enhancing. All too often important things in a person's life go unsaid – it can be a heavy burden to carry, and can leave scars of regret after it is too late. In England a new, but reassuringly familiar way to tackle such heavy subjects is starting to take root.
