Engineering Slavery: The U.S. Army Corps Of Engineers And Slavery At Key West, Florida Historical Society
Engineering Slavery: The U.S. Army Corps Of Engineers And Slavery At Key West, Florida Historical Society
Florida Historical Quarterly
Two days after President Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation went into effect, James Filor, a southern slaveholder and resident of Key West, Florida, mailed a remarkable letter to the president Filor wrote to convince Lincoln to include Key West with the loyal areas of the South exempted from the proclamation. After assuring the president of Key West's loyalty, Filor pressed his claim for an exemption by arguing that agents of the United States government had induced Key West citizens to purchase additional slaves in the antebellum years. He wrote that "slave property [on Key West] ... has been at various times …

Eating The Claws Of Eden: Stone Crabs, Tourism, And The Taste Of Conservation In Florida And Beyond, Florida Historical Society
Florida Historical Quarterly
Don't miss the stone crab-it's in season now," counseled Kathryn Loring to her sister before she and her husband made their first trip from Chicago to Florida in February of 1960. Once in Florida, Loring and her husband took her sister's advice, embarking on a self-proclaimed "sea food binge" that included devouring mullet, pompano, New England and Manhattan-style clam chowder, red snapper, shrimp, and, of course, stone crab. They found the "sweet and delectable" claws of stone crab at Hudgins Cafe in West Palm Beach, Florida, where surrounded by other sun-burned tourists they consumed the meat of a crab that …

Before Disney Arrived: Florida's Ill-Fated Attempt To Build Interama, Florida Historical Society
Florida Historical Quarterly
Miami, Florida, has long been considered a Western hemispheric hub; Pan-American Airways, for example, began advertising the city as the "Gateway to the Americas" in the early 1930s. By mid-20th century, some 600,000 people traveling to and from Latin America passed through Miami each year, encouraging the city's Chamber of Commerce to organize a series of inter-American business meetings during the 1950s. The Chamber also waged a battle at that time to abolish a federal tax levied on travelers to the Caribbean and Central America. Thereafter, several decades of political turmoil in the region figuratively and literally latinized Miami, most …

Sources For The History Of The Spanish Borderlands, William S. Coker
Sources For The History Of The Spanish Borderlands, William S. Coker
Florida Historical Quarterly
The recent flurry of scholarly endeavors on Spanish Louisiana and the Spanish Floridas has revealed some new sources for the study of those areas. In addition to a number of new books and articles and some valuable reprints, several recent meetings have been devoted in whole or in part to resources and research opportunities for the Spanish era. The interest stimulated by this burst of activity led to the compilation of this note which reviews new sources available, indicates well-known collections and archival holdings that have been microfilmed and can now be purchased or borrowed on interlibrary loan, and mentions …

Lord Dunmore's Loyalist Asylum In The Floridas, J. Leitch Wright, Jr.
Lord Dunmore's Loyalist Asylum In The Floridas, J. Leitch Wright, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
To the astonishment of many, Lord John Murray, fourth Earl of Dunmore, member of the House of Lords, formerly controversial colonial governor of New York and Virginia, became governor of the Bahama Islands in 1787. Immediately eyebrows were lifted and questions raised as to why the Earl had accepted the apparently insignificant governorship of islands whose total population, black and white, was not appreciably greater than that of Williamsburg when the colonial assembly had been in session. Dunmore had returned to America late in 1781 and had expected to resume his role as the Virginia governor in the wake of …
Hamilton Disston's St. Cloud Sugar Plantation, 1887-1901, Pat Dodson
Hamilton Disston's St. Cloud Sugar Plantation, 1887-1901, Pat Dodson
Florida Historical Quarterly
Florida history remembers Henry Bradley Plant and Henry Morrison Flagler because of the railroads and hotels that these two nineteenth century magnates built and because of the major impact that they had on state politics and on Florida’s economic growth. But Hamilton Disston of Philadelphia preceded them, and in fact, helped make their ventures possible. Disston’s own accomplishments may have had a greater influence than either Plant or Flagler in leading Florida into the twentieth century. A member of the prominent Pennsylvania saw-manufacturing family, D&ton was first attracted to Florida in the 1870s by the lunker black bass that once …
The Case Against A Nineteenth-Century Cuba-Florida Slave Trade, Kenneth F. Kriple
The Case Against A Nineteenth-Century Cuba-Florida Slave Trade, Kenneth F. Kriple
Florida Historical Quarterly
The belief that there existed a sizable clandestine traffic in Negro slaves between the island of Cuba and Florida after 1808 has been a persistent one in the historiography of slavery in the United States. There are, of course, many logical reasons for this persistence.
Making Of Modern Tampa: A City Of The New South, 1885-1911, Durward Long
Making Of Modern Tampa: A City Of The New South, 1885-1911, Durward Long
Florida Historical Quarterly
Historican have yet to devote the thought and research to urbanization in the South that the subject deserves. Coulter’s brief attention to the growth and role of cities and towns in the Reconstruction era, Van Woodward’s similarly brief concern with cities in his Origins of the New South, Ezell’s short treatment in his textbook survey, Park’s interpretative chapter in Couch’s Culture in the South, and Vance’s edited work on the recent South nearly exhaust the list of serious histories which offer even slight leads about southern urbanization. A survey of the Journal of Southern History and state historical journals is …

Tamiami Trail Blazers: A Personal Memoir, Russell Kay
Florida Historical Quarterly
Prior to the construction of the Tamiami Trail connecting the east and west coasts of Florida, the only cross-peninsular highway ran from Tampa to Daytona Beach. With the advent of automobiles in Florida shortly after the turn of the twentieth century, the possibility of constructing a highway across the Everglades was considered. It was a very controversial issue, however, and opponents argued that the giant cost and the great engineering problems would make the project impossible. Businessmen and chamber of commerce representatives on both coasts, however, insisted that it could be done. Shortly after the end of World War I …
Justice Samuel Douglas As Governor Marvin Remembered Him, Bertram H. Groene
Justice Samuel Douglas As Governor Marvin Remembered Him, Bertram H. Groene
Florida Historical Quarterly
In February of 1896 forty-seven year old Bettie Douglas Lewis of Tallahassee, Florida, wrote a letter to aging William Marvin, former governor of the state of Florida. Mrs. Lewis’ mother was “Lizzie” Brown, oldest of former Governor Thomas Brown’s four daughters. Bettie’s father was Judge Samuel James Douglas, once Florida’s territorial judge of the middle district, located in Tallahassee, and later an associate justice of the Florida supreme court. Douglas died in 1873, and twenty-three years later, Bettie (Mrs. George Lewis) sought to preserve his history. Aside from her mother, Lizzie, there were few people then living who knew the …

History Of The Blockhouse On The Withlacoochee, Tom Knotts
Florida Historical Quarterly
The Animosity between the Florida Seminoles and the American settlers moving in from Georgia and the Carolinas which had been brewing for decades erupted into bloody conflict on December 28, 1835, when Major Francis L. Dade’s command was massacred near Wahoo Swamp, while enroute from Fort Brooke to Fort King. Osceola and a detachment of warriors murdered Wiley Thompson, Indian agent at Fort King, and Constantine Smith the same day as Dade’s massacre. Brigadier General Duncan L. Clinch, commander of the regular forces in Florida, clashed with the Indians three days later as he attempted to cross the Withlacoochee River. …
Intervention And Reaction: Florida Newspapers And United States Entry In World War I, C. Peter Ripley
Intervention And Reaction: Florida Newspapers And United States Entry In World War I, C. Peter Ripley
Florida Historical Quarterly
Florida newspapers largely ignored the war in Europe until 1917. In early January there was only an occasional mention of the international situation except for brief reports on the fighting. But by mid-February the possibility, and in some cases the inevitability, of United States involvement in the war was a major editorial topic. A month later a majority of the papers favored America’s joining the crusade to make the world “safe for democracy.”
Thirty Cent Cotton At Lloyd, Florida 1916-1919, Clifton Paisley
Thirty Cent Cotton At Lloyd, Florida 1916-1919, Clifton Paisley
Florida Historical Quarterly
Not since the Reconstruction Era had the price of cotton reached the heights that it did during the period of the first World War. Very few cotton farmers of 1916-1919 could remember personally the 44 cent cotton of 1865, or even the 20 cent cotton, for after 1872 and until the beginning of the war in Europe in 1914, the price remained below 20 cents. Much of this time southern cotton brought less than 10 cents a pound, in 1914 it was only 8.9 cents. From this low price however, cotton advanced to 19.3 cents in 1916, 29.6 cents in …

War Averters: Seward, Mallory, And Fort Pickens, Ernest F. Dibble
Florida Historical Quarterly
In January 1861, the scene was set in Pensacola and the curtain almost drawn for the first major military confrontation of the Civil War. A crisis over federal property developed in Florida, and except for Fort Pickens at Pensacola and Fort Taylor in Key West, all government installations were seized. In Pensacola, both sides expected hostilities to begin immediately. The navy yard at Warrington, Barrancas barracks, and Fort McRee were taken peacefully, but Lieutenant Adam J. Slemmer, in command of the Pensacola forts, removed all of his men and as much equipment as possible from the other locations into the …
