A Swiss Settler In East Florida: A Letter Of Francis Philip Fatio, William Scott Willis
A Swiss Settler In East Florida: A Letter Of Francis Philip Fatio, William Scott Willis
Florida Historical Quarterly
A letter written by Francis Philip Fatio, who settled in East Florida in 1771 and remained there until his death in 1811, was recently discovered among some papers in a desk given to The National Society of the Colonial Dames of America in the State of Florida for use in the Ximenez-Fatio House in St. Augustine. Written by Fatio from New Switzerland, his plantation on the St. Johns River, to his wife in St. Augustine, the letter is dated October 18, 1800. It provides not only intimate glimpses of life on an East Florida plantation during the Second Spanish Period …

A Great Stirring In The Land: Tallahassee And Leon County In 1860, William Warren Rogers
A Great Stirring In The Land: Tallahassee And Leon County In 1860, William Warren Rogers
Florida Historical Quarterly
On the eve of the Civil War Tallahassee and Leon County were the center of Florida’s economic, political, and social life. Tallahasseans read about themselves in their two weekly, and decidedly political, newspapers: the strongly Democratic Floridian and Journal (circulation 1,500) and the Whiggish Florida Sentinel (circulation 1,000). As a national force the Whigs had disintegrated, but the Florida Sentinel retained the party’s principles. Local people kept further informed by talking among themselves. Conversations ranging from philosophical discussions to plain gossip were held on street corners, at stores, at churches, and at meetings of clubs and fraternal orders such as …

A Second Chance: Cary Nicholas And Frontier Florida, Dennis Golladay
Florida Historical Quarterly
On the morning of July 17, 1821, the inhabitants of Pensacola gathered around the town’s public square to witness the ceremony marking the transfer of the Floridas from Spanish to American control. Among the new American residents in the crowd was Cary Nicholas, a thirty-four-year-old transplanted Kentuckian who, like so many others, saw in the territory the prospect for a new start in a life too full of disappointments and failures.

Formation Of The State Of Florida Indian Reservation, James M. Covington
Formation Of The State Of Florida Indian Reservation, James M. Covington
Florida Historical Quarterly
In Florida there are four reservations for Indians— three established by the federal government and one by the state of Florida. The state reservation was established through the efforts of white friends of the Seminoles, a representative from a national organization, several politicians, the federal Indian agent in Florida, and a friendly governor. Ever since the end of the Third Seminole War in 1858, some whites tried to assist the few Indians remaining in the state. Under the terms of the Florida Constitution written in 1868, the Seminoles were entitled to elect one person to the state house of representatives …
St. Augustine Historical Society, 1883-1983, Thomas Graham
St. Augustine Historical Society, 1883-1983, Thomas Graham
Florida Historical Quarterly
The St. Augustine Historical Society began as an informal gathering of a few individuals who met in the downstairs parlor of the Presbyterian manse on the corner of St. George and Hypolita streets. Dr. Milton Waldo, the Presbyterian minister, would converse on a regular basis with acquaintances who shared his interest in natural history. Because of its casual origin the date of the first Society meeting is uncertain. Dr. Waldo later recalled that he and Charlie Johnson, a local boy who would later be a natural history museum curator in Boston, began meeting together over insect and shell specimens in …

"In The Public Interest?" Ed Ball And The Fec Railway War, Burton Altman
Florida Historical Quarterly
Historians describe the Florida East Coast Railway strike of the 1960s as one of the longest labor disputes in United States history. It was also one of the most violent episodes in recent American labor history. Expected to last only a few weeks, it began in January 1963, when 1,640 workers walked out, and did not end until late 1974. The early years of the strike were punctuated by numerous violent acts, particularly derailments and dynamitings of FEC railway freight trains. On October 20, 1963, four diesel locomotives and fifty-two cars piled up just south of New Smyrna Beach, Florida. …

Florida's Cattle-Ranching Frontier: Manatee And Brevard Counties (1860), John Solomon Otto
Florida Historical Quarterly
In 1860, the eve of the Civil War, the southern edge of settlement, which delimited the “settled” areas with more than two persons per square mile from the “frontier” areas with fewer than two inhabitants per square mile, stood in central Florida. With the exception of a settled area along eastern Tampa Bay, the southern half of the Florida peninsula was a true frontier. South Florida, in fact, was the largest remaining frontier east of the Mississippi River.

Racial Patterns Of Labor In Postbellum Florida: Gainesville, 1870-1900, David Sowell
Racial Patterns Of Labor In Postbellum Florida: Gainesville, 1870-1900, David Sowell
Florida Historical Quarterly
In July 1865, the New Era, a Gainesville newspaper, echoed the sentiments of many white Floridians with its comment: “We do not believe that any inducement can make black free labor a success. If it proves so here it will really prove what has not been proven anywhere else.“ Emancipation had broken the antebellum pattern of labor relations in the South, and many people were apprehensive of the ability of the region to assimilate freedmen successfully into a new economic system. Slavery, of course, had been far more than an economic relationship. It was the visible manifestation of a socioeconomic …
Burton-Swartz Cypress Company Of Florida, Drew Harrington
Burton-Swartz Cypress Company Of Florida, Drew Harrington
Florida Historical Quarterly
Logging operations began in Taylor County in 1913 when three men— S. J. Carpenter, W. L. Burton, and E. G. Swartz— formed the Burton-Swartz Cypress Company of Florida. Carpenter, president of Carpenter-O’Brien Lumber Company, a large Jacksonville operation, owned thousands of acres in Dixie, Taylor, and Lafayette counties. He planned a southwestward expansion, but his interest was in the pine timber of the area. Because saws which cut pine cannot be used to harvest cypress, Carpenter needed someone to “checkerboard” with him by cutting the virgin cypress on his holdings. Perhaps it was at the Yellow Pine Manufacturers Association’s Convention …
Florida's First Women Candidates, Allen Morris
Florida's First Women Candidates, Allen Morris
Florida Historical Quarterly
The nineteenth amendment, the women’s suffrage amendment, having been ratified by the requisite thirty-eight states, was declared a part of the United States Constitution on August 26, 1920. Tennessee cast the deciding vote. The amendment had been first proposed by Congress on June 5, 1915. Florida was not among the thirty-eight states. Ratification did not come in this state until 1969, and then only as a symbolic recognition of the fiftieth anniversary of the Florida League of Women Voters. Florida’s women unsuccessfully had urged their legislators since the 1890s to adopt woman’s suffrage. In 1917 the right to vote in …
First League Of Women Voters In Florida: Its Troubled History, Joan S. Carver
First League Of Women Voters In Florida: Its Troubled History, Joan S. Carver
Florida Historical Quarterly
The Florida League of Women Voters cites 1939 as the year of its establishment. In fact, this date marks the founding of the second league of women voters in the state. An earlier organization, the Florida State League of Women Voters (FSLWV) which receives no mention in current league publications, was organized in 1921 and was disaffiliated by the national organization in 1937. The stormy history of the first league illustrates the difficulties women’s organizations in the South experienced in carving out an appropriate role in the political arena in the years following the adoption of the suffrage amendment. It …

Tourism Was Not The Only Purpose: Jacksonville Republicans And Newark's Sentinel Of Freedom, John T. Foster
Tourism Was Not The Only Purpose: Jacksonville Republicans And Newark's Sentinel Of Freedom, John T. Foster
Florida Historical Quarterly
Florida tourism grew during the Reconstruction period, and it became a major force in the economy along the St. Johns River. Some of this development occurred as a result of stories about Florida published in northern newspapers and magazines. Among these articles are a series which appeared in a Newark, New Jersey, paper, the Sentinel of Freedom.
A Trifling Affair: Loomis Lyman Langdon And The Third Seminole War, Patricia R. Wickman
A Trifling Affair: Loomis Lyman Langdon And The Third Seminole War, Patricia R. Wickman
Florida Historical Quarterly
When, in 1899, Colonel Loomis Lyman Langdon, United States Army, Retired, penned the ironic statement which referred to “A Trifling Affair,” he did so, at least, from the vantage point of forty years of active military service to his country. His had been a long and eventful carrer and, particularly as regards Florida history, one might even say that Colonel Langdon was a man who had been in all the “right” places at all the “right” times.
Master James Cook And Gulf Coast Cartography, Robert R. Rea
Master James Cook And Gulf Coast Cartography, Robert R. Rea
Florida Historical Quarterly
The acquisition by Great Britain of Florida and cis-Mississippi Louisiana in 1763 brought with it both the need and the opportunity for a significant expansion of cartographic knowledge of the shores of the newly-created colonies of East and West Florida. Spanish and French charts of the northern coast of the Gulf of Mexico were rather more artistic than scientific; indeed, the tools for exact surveying had yet to be developed when the Union Jack was raised at St. Augustine, Pensacola, and Mobile. Fishermen from Havana and the occasional merchant engaged in the coasting trade might know the safe anchorages and …
Juan Baptista De Segura And The Failure Of The Florida Jesuit Mission, 1566-1572, Frank Marotti, Jr.
Juan Baptista De Segura And The Failure Of The Florida Jesuit Mission, 1566-1572, Frank Marotti, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
Eugene Lyon in The Enterprise of Florida states that it is important not to ignore the “private side” of the Spanish conquest of the New World. Despite Lyon’s admonition, the personal aspect of the attempted spiritual conquest of La Florida by the Society of Jesus between 1566 and 1572, particularly its relation to the failure of the apostolic enterprise, remains somewhat neglected. The central hypothesis of this study is that the human frailties of Juan Baptista de Segura, the superior of the Jesuit undertaking, played a major role in an evangelical disaster. Segura, a fascinating idealist, after experiencing frustrating failures …
