A Woman Liberated: Lillian C. West, Editor, Bernadette K. Loftin
Florida Historical Quarterly
Lillian Carisle West's professional name, L. C. West, graced the masthead of the weekly Panama City Pilot from 1917 to 1937. She also managed or edited two other local papers, the St. Andrews Bay News and Lynn Haven Free Press, during part of this period, and she operated the Gulf Coast Development Company and the Panama City Publishing Company. Thus, for almost two decades, Mrs. West successfully assumed a leadership position generally reserved only for the male sex by the society of her time. How she managed to accomplish this feat in a small southern town where women’s struggle for …
The Enterprise Of Florida, Eugene Lyon
The Enterprise Of Florida, Eugene Lyon
Florida Historical Quarterly
Knowledge of Florida history tends to cluster around certain key events. Thus, the Spanish colonial period is marked by the Ponce de León and De Soto landings, the Drake raid of 1586, and the building of the Castillo de San Marcos. Interpretation of the first successful settlement of Florida by Pedro Menéndez de Avilés is centered upon the diplomatic and military drama culminating at Fort Caroline and at Matanzas. Woodbury Lowery and Henry Folmer have shown the Spanish-French clash of 1565 in its international setting. The spiritual aspect of the Menéndez conquest has been developed by a host of historians: …

The Pwa In Tampa: A Case Study, Charles B. Lowry
Florida Historical Quarterly
The stock market crash of 1929 and the ensuing depression resulted in the first attempts by the federal government to stimulate the economy on a massive scale at a time of economic collapse. President Hoover moved reluctantly in this area, but Franklin D. Roosevelt, although poorly grounded in economics, avidly applied Keynesian economic theory to an extent unacceptable to his Republican predecessor. The programs of the New Deal affected vast numbers of individuals and businesses, both large and small. The Tampa Shipbuilding and Engineering Company (T.S.&E.) founded by Ernest Kreher, a German immigrant, was among the latter. In 1932, while …
A Purely Business Motive: German-American Lumber Company, 1901-1918, Edward F. Keuchel
A Purely Business Motive: German-American Lumber Company, 1901-1918, Edward F. Keuchel
Florida Historical Quarterly
"The German-American Lumber Company had no motive except a purely business motive." So stated Gerhard Rolfs, treasurer of the company, as the federal government proceeded to take over this German-owned business during World War I. At issue was the charge that the firm was a front organization for German espionage operations during the war. This, as the evidence revealed, was not the case. Yet the emotional fervors of a nation at war had created suspicions about the alien-owned lumber company which had been an important part of Florida’s yellow-pine industry. The German-American Lumber Company was not a subversive organization. To …

A New Jersey Carpetbagger In Reconstruction Florida, Jerrell H. Shofner
A New Jersey Carpetbagger In Reconstruction Florida, Jerrell H. Shofner
Florida Historical Quarterly
During the troubled years following the Civil War many individuals from the North were involved in the economic, social, and political affairs of the former Confederate states. Because the elevation of freed blacks to full citizenship was one of their goals— and deeply resented by Southerners— these men were often castigated by contemporary native whites and subsequently by historians. Denounced as “carpetbaggers” who came into the South to plunder for personal gain while native leaders were disfranchised and unable to prevent it, these men received low marks from historians of all regions who studied the Reconstruction South.
East Florida In 1834: Letters Of Dr. John Durkee, W. Stanley Hoole
East Florida In 1834: Letters Of Dr. John Durkee, W. Stanley Hoole
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the summer of 1833 Dr. John Durkee, for more than ten years a practicing physician in Meredith Bridge (now a part of Laconia), New Hampshire, traveled to East Florida for the benefit of his health.1 Settling in Jacksonville, a village of fewer than 250 people and about twenty houses and stores, he soon recuperated sufficiently to lead an active life.2 He rode horseback into the hinterland of Duval County, hunted, fished, and because of his scientific background interested himself primarily in such subjects as alligators, snakes, deer, birds, trees, cattle, soils, and Indian archeology. Meantime, he kept abreast of …

Spanish-Indian Relations In Florida, 1602-1675: Some Aspects Of Selected Visitas, Fred Lamar Pearson, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
The visita or inspection was an institution which dated back at least to the Egyptians and Persians. Spain, in particular, employed the investigation most efficiently to increase royal authority by acquiring political, economic, social, religious, and other types of information. The Laws of the Indies spelled out the form visitations should take. Visitadores, for example, had to announce their purpose upon arrival. They had to begin their work in the principal city of the area under investigation, check on fiscal conditions, and determine in the course of their inquiry whether crown law had been observed. Moreover, the leyes required the …

The Forbes Company In Spanish Florida, 1801-1806, David H. White
Florida Historical Quarterly
From 1783 to 1801 the trading company of Panton, Leslie had a virtual monopoly on the Indian trade in Spanish Florida. This organization, composed mostly of Britishers, was established during the British period in Florida and was allowed to continue operations after the retrocession of Florida to Spain in 1783. Its function was to supply the Indians with trade goods to bind them closer to Spain and, if possible, to prevent them from forming commercial ties with American or British traders. Theoretically, the company’s activities were confined to the Florida Indians, but the firm also traded with Indians and white …

Raiford And Abercrombie: Pensacola's Permier Antebellum Manufacturer, Lucius F. Ellsworth
Raiford And Abercrombie: Pensacola's Permier Antebellum Manufacturer, Lucius F. Ellsworth
Florida Historical Quarterly
Industrial activity in antebellum West Florida largely involved the exploitation of its timber lands and rich clay beds. Florida brick companies of the period, like those elsewhere in the country, were relatively small-scale operations in terms of number of employees, amount of capital, or value of final product. Despite efforts to mechanize the industry most firms still followed the hand manufacturing process. Brickyards were located near an adequate source of clay and potential markets to avoid the cost of transporting long distances either raw materials or finished products. Although some interregional trade in bricks occurred, most firms produced for local …

Postal Operations In Territorial Florida, 1821-1845, Richard J. Stanaback
Postal Operations In Territorial Florida, 1821-1845, Richard J. Stanaback
Florida Historical Quarterly
Florida in 1821 was transferred from Spanish to American control and the need of providing the territory with internal and external lines of communication was a problem that called for immediate solution. The post office department, which had the responsibility of transporting the mails, played a major role in helping meet the Florida situation. Creating internal communication routes proved formidable since post offices, post roads, and postal personnel had to be supplied before mail service could exist.

Changes In The Economic Power Structure In Duval County, Florida, During The Civil War And Reconstruction, C. A. Haulman
Florida Historical Quarterly
America's turbulent decade of the 1860s brought dramatic changes to the South. Destruction of property was overwhelming, the collapse of the southern monetary and credit system was complete, and the large capital investment in slaves disappeared.

Martin Tabert, Martyr Of An Era, N. Gordon Carper
Florida Historical Quarterly
Martin Tabert, in his desire to “see the world,” unfortunately met an untimely death in Florida. The national publicity given the circumstances surrounding his death provided the catalyst Floridians needed to abolish the cruel and corrupt convict-lease system, a peculiarly southern institution given impetus during the Civil War-Reconstruction era.
Road From Receivership: Claude Pepper, The Dupont Trust, And The Florida East Coast Railway, Alexander R. Stoesen
Road From Receivership: Claude Pepper, The Dupont Trust, And The Florida East Coast Railway, Alexander R. Stoesen
Florida Historical Quarterly
In December 1971, the longest labor dispute in United States history came to an end when a settlement was reached in the Florida East Coast Railway strike. It began in January 1963, and was viewed nationally as a test case of railway labor work rules. Hopes for an early conclusion faded, however, as each side dug in for a fight to the bitter end.2 Strife was not new to the troubled history of the FEC; it had been an object of controversy for many years, and possibly the violence-torn decade of the 1960s might have been avoided if it had …

A Florida Slave Sale, Peter D. Klingman
A Florida Slave Sale, Peter D. Klingman
Florida Historical Quarterly
Of all the activities connected with the system of American Negro slavery, one of the less documented and less well-known aspects is that of free Negroes who purchased and owned slaves. (Generally it is believed that the majority of free blacks who owned slaves purchased them for reasons of personal interest and involvement. There are known examples of free black husbands who bought their slave “wives” as well as instances in which the reverse took place. In other recorded cases, the slaves were the children of a free-slave “marriage.” In still others, relatives and friends similarly were rescued from the …
Rise Of The "Businessman's Politician": The 1924 Florida Gubernatorial Race, Victoria H. Mcdonell
Rise Of The "Businessman's Politician": The 1924 Florida Gubernatorial Race, Victoria H. Mcdonell
Florida Historical Quarterly
The 1920s in Florida reflected the enormous social and economic changes that were occurring throughout the United States. The conservatism of the period, exemplified by high tariffs, the passage of the Volstead Act, and the growth of right wing groups such as the Ku Klux Klan, performed an uneasy counterpoint to the new currents of change. Urban growth, rapid economic development, and the proliferation of transportation and communications facilities foretold the future complexion of American life, As Floridians approached the 1924 gubernatorial campaign they were faced with two alternatives: electing men who were committed to holding on to the past …

Bernard Romans- John Ellis Letters, 1772-1773, John D. Ware
Florida Historical Quarterly
John Ellis, born in Ireland about 1710, was a naturalist who Carl Linnaeus described as a “bright star of natural history” and “the main support of natural history in England.” He was a merchant in London when he was appointed as agent for the British province of West Florida, April 2, 1764, at an annual salary of 200 pounds.
