Insight From Popular Fiction; Understanding Rather Than Knowledge, Todd Jones
Insight From Popular Fiction; Understanding Rather Than Knowledge, Todd Jones
Far West Popular Culture Association Annual Conference
Abstract: People are often recommending popular fiction to each other to provide “insight” into, say, what life is like in a contemporary Jamaican village. But given that such stories are fictional, what does that insight really consist in? In this paper I will argue that such works of fiction can provide understanding, rather than knowledge. I’ll also talk about some things we need to be cautious about with this type of understanding.
Performing Amish Agrarianism: Negotiating Tradition In The Maintenance Of Pennsylvania Dairy Farms, Nicole Welk-Joerger
Performing Amish Agrarianism: Negotiating Tradition In The Maintenance Of Pennsylvania Dairy Farms, Nicole Welk-Joerger
Journal of Amish and Plain Anabaptist Studies
Amish people have a reputation for being ecologically and environmentally conscientious. As numerous scholars in Amish and Plain Anabaptist studies have demonstrated, Amish views of the environment are diverse and ultimately anchored in the understanding that God made nature for human use. In these cases, Amish views of the environment could be described as much more anchored in traditional philosophical notions of “agrarianism” than “environmentalism.” In this article, I explore how some Amish approach agrarianism with a turn from more traditional farm life toward necessary economic engagement with multi-faceted operations and diversification. Based on intensive ethnographic research and participant observation, …

Marion Post And The Farm Security Administration In Florida, Robert E. Snyder
Marion Post And The Farm Security Administration In Florida, Robert E. Snyder
Florida Historical Quarterly
Between 1933 and 1940, and continuing through World War II, President Franklin D. Roosevelt spent billions of dollars through a number of agencies on a variety of relief and recovery measures. Persuading Congress and the American public that mammoth appropriations were necessary to ameliorate the privations suffered by the bottom third of the nation required a constant lobbying and educational effort. To show the needs of the ill-housed, ill-fed, and ill-clothed during the Great Depression, and to record the progress made by the New Deal, a documentary photography project was established in 1935 in the Resettlement Administration (RA), and became …

Roosevelts "Tree Army": The Civilian Conservation Corps In Florida, Jerrell H. Shofner
Florida Historical Quarterly
The Civilian Conservation Corps— officially known as Emergency Conservation Work until 1937— was one of President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s favorite New Deal programs and certainly one of the most popular among the American people. Roosevelt saw great opportunities in the prospect of an agency which would help stimulate the devastated economy of the nation while salvaging two of its most valuable resources, the land and the nation’s youth. At the president’s urging, Congress enacted a law on March 31, 1933, authorizing emergency conservation work in which 300,000 young men could be employed in wholesome work preserving the nation’s natural resources. …
"Yonder Come Day": Religious Dimensions Of The Transition From Slavery To Freedom In Florida, Robert L. Hall
"Yonder Come Day": Religious Dimensions Of The Transition From Slavery To Freedom In Florida, Robert L. Hall
Florida Historical Quarterly
The Confederate firing on Fort Sumter in 1861 was a watershed not only in the political and military history of the United States, but also a turning point in its social history. The heady wine of secessionism and the rupturing of lines of communication and calm moral discourse were experienced in some religious polities for more than a decade before the fateful military event. Southern Methodists and Baptists had parted company with their non-southern counterparts by 1845, when, as John Hope Franklin has written, “slavery had become as much a part of the religious orthodoxy of the South as the …

The Seymour Decision: An Appraisal Of The Olustee Campaign, William N. Nulty
The Seymour Decision: An Appraisal Of The Olustee Campaign, William N. Nulty
Florida Historical Quarterly
Just before seven A.M. on February 20, 1864, Colonel Guy V. Henry’s mounted brigade, the advance guard of the Union forces commanded by Brigadier General Truman Seymour, departed Barber’s Ford, Florida, heading west on the Lake City and Jacksonville Road. Composed of the Fortieth Massachusetts Mounted Infantry with the First Massachusetts Independent Cavalry attached and Captain Samuel S. Elder’s Horse Battery with four pieces of artillery, the mounted men soon outdistanced those marching in brigade columns. The sky was clear and gold sunlight was just starting to filter down through the pines. In a report written two days later, Seymour …
Open-Range Cattle-Herding In Southern Florida, John S. Otto
Open-Range Cattle-Herding In Southern Florida, John S. Otto
Florida Historical Quarterly
The herders of the Old South held little land and few slaves but owned considerable numbers of livestock. They grazed their livestock on the unclaimed public lands, or “open-range,” at no charge, a practice which was safeguarded by state laws until after the Civil War. Living throughout the Old South, the herders were especially numerous in the mountains and the coastal plain, where the soil possessed little fertility, and where most of the land was unclaimed public domain. In the southern mountains, herders raised hogs in the unfenced hardwood forests, exporting porkers to southern plantations and to midwestern slaughter houses. …
Black Immigrants: Bahamians In Early Twentieth-Century Miami, Raymond A. Mohl
Black Immigrants: Bahamians In Early Twentieth-Century Miami, Raymond A. Mohl
Florida Historical Quarterly
Miami is generally thought of as a new immigrant city— a city that only recently became the haven of Caribbean and Latin American exiles and refugees. Until the first big wave of Cubans began to arrive in 1959, Miami seemed the quintessential tourist town and retirement haven. From the 1920s through the 1950s, sun and surf, gambling and horse racing, and endless promotional extravaganzas helped to shape Miami’s public image. The fact is, however, that Miami has always had a magnetic attraction for peoples of the Caribbean. Indeed, the magnitude and diversity of current immigration to Miami tends to mask …

Florida Seminoles In The Depression And New Deal, 1933-1942: An Indian Perspective, Harry A. Kersey, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
The Great Depression of the 1930s, following as it did the exuberant prosperity and financial excesses of the “Roaring Twenties,” caught millions of Americans both economically and psychologically unprepared to deal with the collapse which was to follow. One of the few groups which was not adversely affected immediately, if only because they were already living perilously close to the poverty level, was the Seminole Indians of Florida. As late as the turn of the century they had participated in a profitable trading relationship with white merchants in the south Florida region. These merchants had purchased a great volume of …

Cow Cavalry: Munnerlyn's Battalion In Florida, 1864-1865, Robert A. Taylor
Florida Historical Quarterly
Secession and civil war filled the air along with the blossoms of spring in Florida and the rest of the rebellious South in 1861. Florida’s membership in the new Confederate States of America augmented southern leader’s confidence in the region’s basic agricultural strength. It was well known that antebellum Florida possessed large numbers of beef cattle, which in an emergency could feed thousands of rebel soldiers. Florida beef would figure prominently in Confederate logistics, but could never meet the high expectations placed upon it by the government.
Standards Of Nutrition In A St. Augustine Hospital, 1783-1821, Ann P. Emerson
Standards Of Nutrition In A St. Augustine Hospital, 1783-1821, Ann P. Emerson
Florida Historical Quarterly
Established by royal decree of the king of Spain in 1776, the Regulations for Royal Hospitals provided guidelines for hospital care in royal Spanish hospitals. This included the one in St. Augustine, Florida, during the Second Spanish Period (1783-1821). Other Spanish hospitals at this time were located in Mobile and New Orleans. The set of regulations is among the earliest written documents specifying the role and responsibilities of medical personnel, treatment of patients, content of regular and special diets, and preparation of food for patients. Earlier, in 1570, Phillip II of Spain had established a law to provide his subjects …

Union Academy: A Freedmen's Bureau School In Gainesville, Florida, Murray D. Laurie
Florida Historical Quarterly
The Union Academy was one of the most important institutions in Gainesville’s black community for over fifty years. It was the town’s first public high school and from its graduating classes came most of Alachua County’s black teachers and black leaders. The facility which housed the Academy was built during Reconstruction by black carpenters who had learned their skill as slaves. Land for the building had been purchased by the school’s board of trustees. A symbol of self-sufficiency and pride for Gainesville’s black citizens for many decades, the Union Academy also represented the value they placed on education.
