Encounter By The River, Frank Laumer
Encounter By The River, Frank Laumer
Florida Historical Quarterly
It was mid-winter 1835 in Florida and the United States Army was gathering its strength at Fort Drane. Until a month ago the place was called “Auld Lang Syne,” a plantation devoted to raising sugar-cane on some 3,000 acres in the center of the Territory. It had gained the status of “fort” by the expedient of erecting a twelve-foot pine-log wall in a rectangle 460 yards in circumference around the main building. For ten years the owner had tended his dual duties as planter and general, but now the hue and cry was raised again and Fort Drane was headquarters …

Rembert Wallace Patrick: A Bibliography, Edward K. Eckert
Florida Historical Quarterly
The following bibliography is an attempt to bring together all of Rembert W. Patrick’s published works in one place convenient to scholars. The list is complete through December 1, 1967. Little attempt has been made to note unpublished works, among which are comments and papers delivered at various historical meetings, including the paper, “The Florida Historical Quarterly,” given at the annual meeting of the Florida Historical Society in St. Augustine, April 13, 1956. It should be noted that Professor Patrick was general editor of the twenty-one volumes in the Floridiana Facsimile & Reprint Series, published by the University of Florida …

Rembert Wallace Patrick, Herbert J. Doherty, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the Fall of 1940 a young South Carolinian with a brandnew doctor’s degree in history from the University of North Carolina appeared among the new faculty members at the University of Florida in Gainesville. Rembert Wallace Patrick had begun his long and warm association with Florida, its people, and its history. In the small, north Florida college town the youthful historian energetically devoted himself to his work and soon won the devoted following of students and the affection and respect of his colleagues. Though he was a practical, down-to-earth man, he quickly revealed a dry, often irreverent sense of …

A Florida Soldier In The Army Of Northern Virginia: The Hosford Letters, Knox Mellon, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
A long neglected area of American Civil War history has been the thousands of unpublished letters and diaries still found gathering dust in hundreds of attics across the nation. The recent Civil War centennial brought out some material of this type, and the general public has grown more aware of the advantages to be gained from the publication of soldiers’ memoirs. Despite this fact, it is rare indeed to find as moving and articulate a series of letters as the ten written by a young Florida Confederate officer, Lieutenant John W. Hosford, to his sweetheart, Miss Laura Rich, between November …
Florida Politics And The Tallahassee Press, Thomas S. Graham
Florida Politics And The Tallahassee Press, Thomas S. Graham
Florida Historical Quarterly
In 1849, the editor of the Tallahassee Floridian & Journal, one of the state’s leading newspapers, recommended the compilation of Florida’s news journals so that future historical researchers would be furnished with “extensive and otherwise unattainable data for correct history of opinions and events." Today the common use of newspaper materials in the writing of history has amply validated the perceptiveness of the editor’s foresight, and while the newspapers of the ante-bellum era have proved useful in writing history, they have also been found to be fascinating and worthy of study in themselves. The Floridian & Journal and its foremost …
Military Reconstruction In Florida, Merlin G. Cox
Military Reconstruction In Florida, Merlin G. Cox
Florida Historical Quarterly
The sovereign power in Florida from March 15, 1867, to July 4, 1868, was the military arm of the United States government. Many interpreters have viewed military reconstruction as an illustration of man’s inhumanity to man; it was, they say, a revenge mechanism to punish the vanquished for losing the war. Most members of democratic societies are so vehement in their condemnation of military rule that they admit no shades of difference in assessing the achievements of armies of occupation. If this blanket indictment were valid, Hitler’s armies of occupation in Western Europe and American occupation armies in Japan were …

Key West And The New Deal, 1934-1936, Durward Long
Florida Historical Quarterly
Historians often point out that the depression which began for the rest of the United States in 1929, started in Florida much earlier. The final collapse of the real estate boom in Florida in 1926, was followed by serious fiscal difficulties for units of government-local and state-as well as for private citizens. Even nature seemed to conspire against the economic well-being of the state. The devastating hurricanes of 1926 and 1928 were followed by the invasion of the Mediterranean fruit fly in 1929, to add to the deepening financial and economic distress which many Florida communities were suffering in the …

Agriculture And Advertising: Florida State Bureau Of Immigration, 1923-1960, Martin M. Lagodna
Florida Historical Quarterly
The shades were drawn in the back office of the busy white frame country store. As was his habit, the little man with the greying hair and starched collar lay down to rest after dinner. Out front the hitching posts were being bound with leather as customers hurried into the general merchandise mart which also served as a postoffice. The store was humming and the man’s wife and his clerk-partner tended the people. After all, it was the largest supplier of its kind between Ocala and Dade City. Business was good but the man in the darkened back office was …

Trabue, Alias Punta Gorda, Vernon E. Peeples
Florida Historical Quarterly
The Florida Southern Railway in 1885-1886, constructed a line from Bartow Junction to Charlotte Harbor, and a new town, Punta Gorda, sprang up at the southern terminus of what was then the southernmost railroad in the United States. Punta Gorda’s beginning enbroiled its settlers and leading citizens in a controversy that raged for many years.
Naval Engagements In Tampa Bay, 1862, Frank Falero, Jr.
Naval Engagements In Tampa Bay, 1862, Frank Falero, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
During the Civil War, the Union Navy’s primary mission was to prevent the South from marketing her products and to prevent her from obtaining arms. To accomplish this dual mission, the North stationed a considerable number of ships in blockade positions along the Gulf and Atlantic seaboards. The majority of these blockade vessels were small in size as well as firepower. There were two main reasons why the Union used small ships as blockaders. The first reason being that their adverseries likely would be small, shallow-draft vessels with limited firepower, and second, the larger more powerful ships were needed to …
Illegal Importations: Enforcement Of The Slave Trade Laws Along The Florida Coast, 1810-1828, Frances J. Stafford
Illegal Importations: Enforcement Of The Slave Trade Laws Along The Florida Coast, 1810-1828, Frances J. Stafford
Florida Historical Quarterly
The above quotations, decrying the evils of the slave trade are from two widely disparate sources and periods. The first may be found in an anti-slave trade tract of the Society of Friends published in 1824, and the second is from the opinion in a federal case involving slave trading activities in 1860. Both are evidence of the futility of the hopes of the founding fathers in 1787, that slavery and its companion evil, the slave trade, were but temporary problems for the United States. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, the cotton gin and the textile mills destroyed …
British And Indian Activities In Spanish West Florida During The War Of 1812, Frank L. Owsley, Jr.
British And Indian Activities In Spanish West Florida During The War Of 1812, Frank L. Owsley, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
When Britain lost control of Florida in 1783 to Spain, many English merchants and public officials, especially the governors of Jamaica and New Providence, did not consider the loss of Florida as permanent. They continued an extensive legal and illegal trade with the Indians in Florida and the southern United States. The mouth of the Apalachicola River and the area around it comprised one of the main seats of this commerce, especially the illegal part. In line with their objectives of regaining control of Florida, these various British officials and merchants sent such filibusterers as William Augustus Bowles, who plotted …

Notes On The Medical History Of Key West, 1822-1832, E. Ashby Hammond
Florida Historical Quarterly
The years 1818 to 1823 were unquiet times in the northern Caribbean. The Latin nations of the area were either stabilizing their newly gained independence or preparing for further expressions of defiance against their Iberian overlords. In any event there was neither time nor the resources for organizing a military patrol of the waters extending from Venezuela to Tampa Bay, from Yucatan to Puerto Rico. Piracy was virtually unrestrained, and wrecking, considered by some observers to have been an only slightly more honorable enterprise, went unregulated. Shortly after John W. Simonton had acquired the island, then known as Cayo Hueso, …

Joseph E. Brown And Florida's New South Economy, Derrell C. Roberts
Joseph E. Brown And Florida's New South Economy, Derrell C. Roberts
Florida Historical Quarterly
The present day economy of Florida is rooted in the post-Civil War New South era of American history. The first wealth acquired in the tourist trade and citrus production came to Florida in this period. Governor Joseph E. Brown of Georgia, along with many other Americans North and South, was amassing at this time a sizeable personal fortune in various enterprises that ranged from agriculture and real estate to railroads, banking, and mineral enterprises. On several occasions, he visited Florida, always keenly observing the economy of the state. Governor Brown’s political career was spread over the years from the 1840s …
Lieutenant John T. Mclaughlin: Guilty Or Innocent?, Nell L. Weidenbach
Lieutenant John T. Mclaughlin: Guilty Or Innocent?, Nell L. Weidenbach
Florida Historical Quarterly
The Florida Squadron, based on Key Biscayne and Indian Key during the Second Seminole War, was a small but highly effective naval group whose part in bringing hostilities to a close has remained in relative obscurity for over a century. Furthermore, the youthful and courageous commander of this squadron, Lieutenant John T. McLaughlin, has been relegated to the fine print of an occasional footnote. The sparse and very brief paragraphs allotted to him all too frequently concentrate on his fiscal extravagances and his drinking excesses, with dark intimations of corruption and cruelty. The paragraphs which follow are designed to bring …
