Spring Training In Florida, J. Roy Stockton
Spring Training In Florida, J. Roy Stockton
Florida Historical Quarterly
Spring training serves many purposes for the great American game and business of baseball. The primary objective, of course, is to get the players into the best possible physical condition for the arduous, 154-game pennant races during which the championships of the two major leagues are decided. During this conditioning process young players and others who may have been obtained in trades are inspected and tested in practice sessions, squad games, and exhibition contests.
Sidney J. Catts And The Democratic Primary Of 1920, Warren A. Jennings
Sidney J. Catts And The Democratic Primary Of 1920, Warren A. Jennings
Florida Historical Quarterly
In 1920 Florida stood on the threshold of her “great boom;” economic optimism prevailed. However, to many people within the state one obstacle stood in the way of bountiful prosperity - “Cattsism,” a term of derision applied to the political principles and campaign tactics of Sidney J. Catts, the governor of the state. Only four years before he had risen from obscurity to notoriety. A more disruptive and divisive personality has seldom appeared on the political scene of any state. There was no middle ground in the opinions of the politicians or the public about this political parvenu; he was …

Florida And The Cuban Revolution, 1895-1898, William J. Schellings
Florida And The Cuban Revolution, 1895-1898, William J. Schellings
Florida Historical Quarterly
The Cuban revolt against Spanish rule in 1895 and the possibility that this might lead to war between Spain and the United States placed Florida in a dilemma. There were a number of reasons for the state’s rejoicing at the prospect of Cuban independence, and for many individual Floridians to want to aid the rebels. Against this, however, was the fear that if the United States went to war against Spain it could end only in disaster for Florida. As a result, an attempt was made to walk a middle path, to encourage the giving of private aid to the …
The Freedmen's Bureau And Negro Labor In Florida, Joe M. Richardson
The Freedmen's Bureau And Negro Labor In Florida, Joe M. Richardson
Florida Historical Quarterly
One of the most pressing problems encountered immediately after the emancipation of the Negro was that of labor. The Negro had been the chief source of labor in Florida, as well as in the rest of the South, and the breakdown of slavery necessitated the contrivance of a new system. Many of the white planters wanted to keep the Negro on the plantation on terms that were similar to slavery. The whites accepted the fact that the colored man had ceased to be property, but many wanted to believe that he still existed specifically to produce cotton, sugar, and rice …
Asboth's Expedition Up The Alabama And Florida Railroad, Edwin L. Bearss
Asboth's Expedition Up The Alabama And Florida Railroad, Edwin L. Bearss
Florida Historical Quarterly
During the first week of July, 1864, the powerful “Army Group” commanded by Major General William T. Sherman slowly closed in on Atlanta, Georgia. To help loosen the grip of the Confederate Army of Tennessee on Atlanta, Sherman planned to send a fast moving cavalry force, about 3,000 strong, to smash the Montgomery and West Point Railroad. (This railroad linked the defenders of Atlanta with the magazines and supply depots of central Alabama.) Leaving Decatur, Alabama, on July 9, these raiders were expected to strike the vital railroad near Opelika. After tearing up the track and burning the trestles and …
Florida On The Eve Of The Civil War As Seen By A Southern Reporter, William Warren Rogers
Florida On The Eve Of The Civil War As Seen By A Southern Reporter, William Warren Rogers
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the days prior to the firing on Fort Sumter, readers of the Charleston Daily Courier were kept well informed on current events by its various correspondents. No paper in the South was better supplied with journalists, who sent in weekly, and often daily, reports from centers of interest. One of these reporters styled himself “Batchelor,” and he made a tour of Florida for the Courier.
Andrew Ranson: Seventeenth Century Pirate?, J. Leitch Wright, Jr.
Andrew Ranson: Seventeenth Century Pirate?, J. Leitch Wright, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
The later half of the seventeenth century saw the swashbuckling heyday of piracy in the West Indies. Here, English, French, and Dutch buccaneers, and audacious seafarers claiming no nation, roamed the seas almost at will, delighting particularly in preying on galleons flying the Spanish flag and in sacking and ransoming cities along the Spanish Main. It is true that the policy of European nations was changing from encouraging or winking at buccaneer activities to supporting legitimate trade with Spanish America, and some serious efforts were made to curb these seagoing marauders. Nevertheless, this was of little consolation to the inhabitants …

Captain Nathaniel Wyche Hunter And The Florida Indian Campaigns, 1837-1841, Reynold M. Wik
Captain Nathaniel Wyche Hunter And The Florida Indian Campaigns, 1837-1841, Reynold M. Wik
Florida Historical Quarterly
In January, 1837, Captain Nathaniel Wyche Hunter arrived at Fort Huleman, Florida, to engage in the military campaigns against the Seminole Indians. His letters and diaries during the next four years provide a vivid account of military life in the Peninsula State. Although his observations do not alter the history of the Seminole wars, they do reflect the thoughts of a perceptive officer facing the frustrations common to this theater of frontier warfare. They also present a soldier’s view of the United States government’s action in removing the Florida Indians to lands beyond the Mississippi river.
A French Document Relating To The Destruction Of The French Colony In Florida At The Hands Of The Spanish, 1565, A. E. Hammond
A French Document Relating To The Destruction Of The French Colony In Florida At The Hands Of The Spanish, 1565, A. E. Hammond
Florida Historical Quarterly
One of the bloodiest and most publicized chapters in the early history of Florida was written by Don Pedro Menendez de Aviles, intrepid and unscrupulous agent of Philip II of Spain. On three occasions in the months of September and October, 1565, this Spanish gentleman, fired with true inquisitional fervor, ordered and supervised the systematic slaughter of remnants of the third French expedition to the Florida coast, thus ending the French attempt to colonize this disputed territory. Neither the events leading up to the massacres nor the details of the savage butchery requires retelling here. They are the subjects of …
Grant Forecasts The Future Of Florida, James P. Jones
Grant Forecasts The Future Of Florida, James P. Jones
Florida Historical Quarterly
Throughout 1878 AND 1879 Americans followed ex-President Ulysses S. Grant’s world tour. At the same time, Republican “Stalwart” leaders launched the “Grant for President” boom. In September, 1879, to the distress of his friends, Grant landed in California and began a slow procession across the country. While the tide seemed to be running in Grant’s favor when he returned to the United States, his supporters sensed a turn for the worse as Grant crossed the country. Senator John A. Logan, a Grant man, wrote Elihu B. Washburne that the “reception business” was being overdone, and its continuance would benefit the …

Pensacola Memorabilia, T. T. Wentworth, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
Since Andrew Jackson, one of America’s most colorful historical figures was associated with Cantonment on several occasions and spent four weeks with his troops here in 1821 just prior to the change of flags in Pensacola, which transferred The Floridas to the United States of America, I want to recount the events in which Jackson played a part.
Military Events In Florida During The Civil War, 1861-1865, Allen W. Jones
Military Events In Florida During The Civil War, 1861-1865, Allen W. Jones
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the voluminous writings on the Civil War the region of the upper South has attracted attention as the battleground of the War and de military activity in the Confederate States of the lower South, especially Florida, has received little notice. The fighting in Florida began early in 1861 but was most active during the last two years of the War. This compilation of nearly one hundred forty military events at over eighty different places will give some indication as to the extent of the War in Florida.
Florida In World War Ii: Tourists And Citrus, Ben F. Rogers
Florida In World War Ii: Tourists And Citrus, Ben F. Rogers
Florida Historical Quarterly
As 1941 drew to a close, in many states of the Union com- placent citizens still argued that the war in Europe and Asia was none of our business, that the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans were insurmountable barriers which no enemy could ever cross. In the state of Florida, however, this was not so. Led by their irrepressible Senator, Claude Pepper, Floridians had long been deeply concerned with the rising tide of totalitarianism; the Gallup polls found Florida one of the most interventionist of all states. During the preceding years, moreover, there had been a tremendous expansion of Florida’s military …
Florida And The Compromise Of 1850, John Meador
Florida And The Compromise Of 1850, John Meador
Florida Historical Quarterly
The Compromise of 1850 which temporarily settled the sectional dispute over slavery in the territories, had a great impact upon the political party structure in the United States. The ultimate result was the destruction of the Whig party, even though it was that party’s leaders, Clay and Webster, who had been chiefly responsible for the Compromise. In the North, most of the party was drawn into the new Republican party, while its southern members either joined the Democrats or found refuge in such wobbly makeshifts as the American and Opposition parties. What the Compromise did to southern Whigs appears particularly …
William Jennings Bryan And The University Of Florida, Samuel Proctor
William Jennings Bryan And The University Of Florida, Samuel Proctor
Florida Historical Quarterly
William Jennings Bryan resigned as Secretary of State on June 8, 1915, and retired to his home in Florida. Edgar Lee Masters described him at this time as “the Christian Statesman, out of a job . . . no longer a presidential possibility, nor a law-maker nor a law-giver.” The last decade of Bryan’s life was not a period of inactivity, however. A critic has said that it was during these years that Bryan identified himself “with some of the worst tendencies in American life-prohibition, the crusade against evolution, real estate speculation, and the Klan.” As his national political power …
