" … In A Strange Piace ... ": The Experiences Of British Women During The Colonization Of East & West Florida, Deborah L. Bauer
" … 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
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 …

"Freedmen Not Freemen": The Freedmen's Bureau And Black Land Ownership In Arkansas, Eric Johnson
"Freedmen Not Freemen": The Freedmen's Bureau And Black Land Ownership In Arkansas, Eric Johnson
Honors Theses
When slavery ended at the close of the Civil War, there was no universal answer for where former slaves were to live. The type and quality of freedom Black Southerners would experience during Reconstruction would be largely determined by where they lived. Many freedpeople and Republicans desired for widespread Black land ownership across the South. “Forty acres and a mule” was a common phrase that spread throughout the South and represented the hope that the United States government would ensure that all former slaves would be given land to own and live on. The Freedmen’s Bureau, which was created under …

Military Slave Rentals, The Construction Of Army Fortifications, And The Navy Yard In Pensacola, Florida, 1824-1863, Thomas Hulse
Military Slave Rentals, The Construction Of Army Fortifications, And The Navy Yard In Pensacola, Florida, 1824-1863, Thomas Hulse
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the first half of the nineteenth century, expansion of the abolitionist movement led to increasing pressure on the federal government to substantiate military labor policies in regard to the construction of defense installations and public works projects. The manifestation of this pressure resulted in the passage of a law in 1842 by Congress that required government agencies to account for the use of slave labor. As a result, a "resolution of the House of Representatives lStin stant" forced Navy Secretary A. P. Upshur to respond to questioning on August 10, 1842. When asked "what number of "colored" persons there …

From Desegregation To Integration: Race, Football, And "Dixie" At The University Of Florida, Derrick E. White
Florida Historical Quarterly
On a chilly December day in 1962 just before the New Year's holiday, the University of Florida (UF) Gators football team played the Penn State Nittany Lions in the eighteenth annual Gator Bowl. Penn State entered the game a heavy favorite. The media and coaches ranked the Nittany Lions ninth in the country, and the Eastern College Athletic Conference awarded the team the Lambert Trophy as the best team in the East. The game was Penn State's second consecutive Gator Bowl appearance. The Nittany Lions made history the previous season as the first desegregated team to play in the Gator …

When Modern Tourism Was Born: Florida At The World Fairs And On The World Stage In The 1930s, David Nelson
When Modern Tourism Was Born: Florida At The World Fairs And On The World Stage In The 1930s, David Nelson
Florida Historical Quarterly
More than any other moment in Florida's history, the debut of the state's exhibit at Chicago's Century of Progress world's fair in 1933 marked the beginning of modern Florida tourism. From this point until the end of the 20th century and beyond, Florida promoted and depended upon tourism more than upon any other industry. This proved to be the moment Florida ceased to be southern in the popular mind and assumed the image of a racially-and regionally-neutral land of sunshine, fun, and endless opportunity. It was at Chicago in 1933 that Florida became genuinely and definitively exotic and tropic in …

Looks Like Acquittal: Sex, Murder, And The Tampa Morning Tribune, 1895, J. Thomas Perry
Florida Historical Quarterly
On the morning of August 22, 1894, W.M. Hendley fished alone on a St. Petersburg, Florida dock. Sela P. Harrison approached the man from behind wielding a double-barreled shotgun, one barrel loaded with buck-shot and the other with slugs cut from a metal bar. Hendley was unaware of his assailant and no words were exchanged. Within ten feet of the victim, Sela fired both barrels striking Hendley in the torso and taking off the right side of his head. Sela remained calm. He did not attempt to flee the scene or dispose of the gun, rather, he walked slowly up …
The Jacksonville Mutiny Of 1865, John F. Fannin
The Jacksonville Mutiny Of 1865, John F. Fannin
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the fall of 1865, white officers of the 3rd Regiment, United States Colored Troops (3rd USCT) hung a black enlisted man by his thumbs on the Jacksonville parade ground-a misdemeanor-level punishment-for stealing a jar of molasses from the field kitchen. Black soldiers gathered around the officers standing in front of the dangling prisoner and loudly objected to the thumb-hanging. The protest quickly turned into a melee in which enlisted soldiers and officers exchanged gunfire and grappled hand-to-hand. Subsequently, six soldiers would be tried for mutiny and executed. Another seven received lengthy prison sentences and one was released without penalty. …
Wetlands And Wildlife: Martin Johnson Heade In Florida, Charlotte M. Porter
Wetlands And Wildlife: Martin Johnson Heade In Florida, Charlotte M. Porter
Florida Historical Quarterly
During the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century, Florida drew the attention of a number of literary figures, naturalists and landscape artists who were vocal in the national conservation movement.1 Often traveling as observers for developers and entrepreneurs, they documented landscapes in words and paintings that now constitute a national treasure. In 1867, Charles Beecher, brother of novelist Harriet Beecher Stowe arrived at the mouth of the St. Johns River. "The river stretched away so boundlessly," he wrote that "it seemed rather [like] a great sea or lake."2 Impressed by the expansive beauty, Beecher described his gateway as a …

The Seminole Controversy Revisited: A New Look At Andrew Jackson's 1818 Florida Campaign, Daniel Feller
Florida Historical Quarterly
Americans began their experiment in self-government with the notion that republics naturally love peace and monarchies naturally love war. As Thomas Paine explained in Common Sense, wars began when "crowned ruffians" attacked their neighbors-or their own subjects-in pursuit of personal wealth, power, or glory. "In the early ages of the world, according to the scripture chronology, there were no kings; the consequence of which was there were no wars; it is the pride of kings which throw mankind into confusion." Since the people at large were naturally peace-loving, republics would fight only in self-defense. Not by coincidence, said Paine, had …

Florida Classroom: Tea Sets, Tractors, T-1 Lines: The Survival Of A Small Town Library: The Hastings, Branch Library, Hastings, Florida, Nancy J. Levine
Florida Historical Quarterly
Hastings, Florida, can rightly be called "a wide place in the road." Three miles square, with a population of 687,1 Hastings is the potato capital of Florida, according to its welcome sign. But the town's small size seems to have given it long-lasting feelings of inferiority. Townspeople describe Hastings as "the stepchild of the county." Writing in 1993 to the editorial page of the daily newspaper, the St. Augustine Record, Hastings citizen Bill Parish complained that "[t]he one thing that administrators in St. Johns County like about our area is that beautiful shade of green of our money."
A Re-Assessment Of Seminoles, Africans, And Slavery On The Florida Frontier, Kevin Kokomoor
A Re-Assessment Of Seminoles, Africans, And Slavery On The Florida Frontier, Kevin Kokomoor
Florida Historical Quarterly
Recently, the focus on slavery within native societies has benfited from a great deal of scholarly attention, and several influential volumes have examined slavery as it existed within a number of southern tribes, including Cherokees, Chickasaws and Choctaws, Creeks, and particularly Seminoles.1 In other studies, historians have focused on the phenomenon of "marronage," experiences that "can be seen to hold a special significance for the study of slave societies."2 Eugene Genovese, for instance, suggested that some Indian communities were "utterly transformed by the entrance of large numbers of blacks," a phenomenon that although not widespread, resonated deeply in the Florida …

Inventing The Conch Republic: The Creation Of Key West As An Escape From Modern America, William C. Barnett
Florida Historical Quarterly
Key West has been a popular tourist destination for over seventy years, and visitors are struck by its distinctive sense of lace and by its sense of a lingering past. Various slogans call attention to its remote island location-100 miles south of mainland Florida, but only 90 miles north of Cuba-and emphasize its geographic and cultural separation from modern America. Tourism boosters call it "America's Southernmost City," "Margaritaville," "The Last Resort," and "the Conch Republic," and each label promises a place apart from the rest of the nation. The constant use of the words "escape" and "getaway" in tourism ads …
