Bruce Springsteen: Evolution Of The American Dream, Anthony Muscella Dec 2020

Bruce Springsteen: Evolution Of The American Dream, Anthony Muscella

Faculty Curated Undergraduate Works

Bruce Springsteen is a man many people associate with the ideals of the “American Dream”. He comes from a poor, working-class family. He is currently an incredibly successful musician and he has been for some time now. However, he does not think this way and he has not for some time now. He has changed his opinions on the “American Dream” over time, coming from one end of the spectrum in thinking that the “American Dream” is real to the other end where he now thinks that it is a lie, and the promised land is not real.

The Irving Bacheller Essay Contest In Florida History: Historic Landmarks Of My County, John Pikula Dec 2020

The Irving Bacheller Essay Contest In Florida History: Historic Landmarks Of My County, John Pikula

Florida Historical Quarterly

Of the many landmarks of the Halifax country, one of which probably the least is known is the old Bulow Plantation, the remains of which are found near the old King’s Road approximately eleven miles north of the city of Ormond. Owing to the extreme difficulty in gaining access to the place, it is but seldom frequented and consequently little known. But this does not signify its lack of historical value. On the contrary, it is quite the opposite. For it was not only the most extensive plantation ever to exist in the Halifax country, but it also was occupied …

Early Orange Culture In Florida And The Epocal Cold Of 1835, T. Frederick Davis Dec 2020

Early Orange Culture In Florida And The Epocal Cold Of 1835, T. Frederick Davis

Florida Historical Quarterly

One of Ponce de Leon’s ambitions was to grow fruit in Florida that His Majesty, the Emperor Charles V of Spain, might be served therewith, and when he embarked upon his voyage to colonize Florida he carried seeds of all kinds for planting. Probably the orange was included and possibly on the shore of Charlotte Harbor the first orange tree in Florida grew in 1521; or perhaps Narvaez or DeSoto included oranges in his commissariat and left seed here to germinate into trees? These are interesting thoughts; but we turn from speculation to historical record for the following account


The Union Bank Of Tallahassee: An Experiment In Territorial Finance, Kathryn T. Abbey Dec 2020

The Union Bank Of Tallahassee: An Experiment In Territorial Finance, Kathryn T. Abbey

Florida Historical Quarterly

In view of the recent financial confusion in the United States, similar difficulties of the Florida of a century ago assume more than a passing interest. The problem of self development has always been pressing for Florida; since the days of the purchase from Spain exaggerated claims of economic opportunity have lured the investor sometimes to sound wealth and sometimes, alas, to the reverse. The first Florida boom was launched in 1821 when the United States government set itself the task of raising the five million dollar purchase price from the sale of the lands just acquired. These internal improvement …

Public Education In Spanish St. Augustine, Joseph B. Lockey Dec 2020

Public Education In Spanish St. Augustine, Joseph B. Lockey

Florida Historical Quarterly

A school for white children existed in St. Augustine as early as 1606. Whether it continued to function during the rest of this first period of Spanish dominion is a question that cannot now be answered. But if it did survive, it must have come to a close on the cession of the province to the British in 1763; for the change of sovereignty was followed by a general abandonment of the territory by the Spanish inhabitants. When the Spanish came back twenty years later the British in turn departed. With the restoration of sovereignty went the restoration of the …
