Against Corruption: Fred Karl And The Senate Select Committee On Suspensions And Removals, 1968-1974, Peter D. Klingman
Against Corruption: Fred Karl And The Senate Select Committee On Suspensions And Removals, 1968-1974, Peter D. Klingman
Florida Historical Quarterly
Suspending or removing public officials from office at any level of government and at any point in time always has provided cause for serious concern. Impeachments, suspensions, and removals of municipal, county, or federal officers cause two major constitutional issues to surface which must be resolved to the populace’s satisfaction. The first is the right of citizens, through the electoral process, to be guaranteed their legitimate representation and to remain the ultimate judge of all elected officials’ tenure in office. Even today, as term limitations are debated, perhaps leading to another constitutional amendment, this republican cornerstone remains fundamental. The basic …
Carpetbagger Intrigues, Black Leadership, And A Southern Loyalist Triumph: Florida's Gubernatorial Election Of 1872, Canter Brown, Jr.
Carpetbagger Intrigues, Black Leadership, And A Southern Loyalist Triumph: Florida's Gubernatorial Election Of 1872, Canter Brown, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
Carpetbagger reputations suffered greatly for most of the century following the end of Reconstruction. Within the past few decades, however, historians have reexamined the careers of many of these individuals and discovered that they made more positive contributions to southern life than previously thought.1 On the regional level this trend was exemplified by the 1988 publication of Richard N. Current’s Those Terrible Carpetbaggers: A Reinterpretation. In Florida, revisionist study was launched in the 1960s and 1970s when Joe M. Richardson and Jerrell H. Shofner offered new and comprehensive treatments of the period.2 Sarah Whitmer Foster and John T. Foster, Jr., …
The Initiative And Referendum In Florida, 1911-1912, Stephen Kerber
The Initiative And Referendum In Florida, 1911-1912, Stephen Kerber
Florida Historical Quarterly
On April 13, 1911, Representative Thomas F. West of Santa Rosa County introduced a joint resolution in Florida’s House of Representatives intended to amend the state constitution. 1 West’s proposal, designated as House Joint Resolution (HJR) 222, called for the adoption of two popular progressive-era reforms, the initiative and the referendum.2 Although strenuously opposed by a conservative minority in both legislative houses, HJR 222 achieved the necessary votes to gain passage with relative ease. The strongest opposition to these two innovations in direct democracy manifested itself several months later, during the summer and fall of 1912, when influential reactionaries successfully …

Samuel Proctor, Editor, Florida Historical Quarterly, 1963-1993: A Tribute, Michael Gannon
Florida Historical Quarterly
In any enumeration of American historians of Florida who have significantly advanced the craft and expanded the field, one would name George Rainsford Fairbanks (1820-1906), our state’s first serious historian in the English language and charter member of the Historical Society of Florida in 1856; Thomas Buckingham Smith (1810-1871), first American scholar to collect and copy documentary materials for the history of Florida from archives in Spain; Woodbury Lowery (1853- 1906), whose two volumes, The Spanish Settlements within the Present Limits of the United States,1 first placed Florida historiography on a professional footing and established standards of research and citation …
Editor's Foreword, Florida Historical Society
Editor's Foreword, Florida Historical Society
Florida Historical Quarterly
After thirty years of service Dr. Samuel Proctor stepped down from the editorship of the Florida Historical Quarterly in June 1993. This event marked a special point not only in his long and distinguished career but also in the history of the Florida Historical Society. Accordingly, this issue of the Quarterly is dedicated to Samuel Proctor— “Sam” to his many friends— and to the many years that he has faithfully and effectively guided the journal’s fortunes.

Some Observations From And About The Luna Papers, William S. Coker
Some Observations From And About The Luna Papers, William S. Coker
Florida Historical Quarterly
Several articles written in the last few years about the hurricane of 1559 that hit Pensacola Bay, then the Bahía Filipina del Puerto de Santa María, have inadvertently given the wrong date, August 19, 1559, when the hurricane struck. It seems appropriate to correct this error to prevent it from perpetuating, and the Luna Papers provide the necessary information.1 This note also provides an opportunity to mention several other noteworthy aspects of the Luna Papers.
"Florida And The British Investor Revisited": The William Moore Angas Papers At The University Of Florida, Frank Orser
"Florida And The British Investor Revisited": The William Moore Angas Papers At The University Of Florida, Frank Orser
Florida Historical Quarterly
In his 1954 article Alfred P. Tischendorf discussed briefly the role of fifteen British-owned companies in Florida around the turn of the century. 1 He concluded that these enterprises were devoted to development and attracting British immigrants. Generally little is known about British business practices in Florida since very few records exist in the United States. Details about two of the larger English companies, the Land Mortgage Bank and the Florida Syndicate, can now be examined through their business files, recently acquired by the George A. Smathers Libraries at the University of Florida and accessioned as the William Moore Angas …
The Advance Of Florida's Frontier As Determined From Post Office Openings, Morton D. Winsberg
The Advance Of Florida's Frontier As Determined From Post Office Openings, Morton D. Winsberg
Florida Historical Quarterly
The geographical diffusion of human habitation throughout the United States has long interested social scientists. Unfortunately a paucity of detailed data has always hampered accurate cartographic representation of the advance of the frontier in the nation. Although the United States has conducted a decennial population census since 1790, meaningful cartographic displays of the advancing settlement frontier that might otherwise be derived from census data in the nineteenth century are obscured by changes in the number, area, and shape of counties. Florida provides an excellent example of such cartographic problems as well as one possible solution.
Southern Extremities: The Significance Of Fort Myers In The Civil War, Irvin D. Solomon
Southern Extremities: The Significance Of Fort Myers In The Civil War, Irvin D. Solomon
Florida Historical Quarterly
Although critical to American military operations in the Third Seminole War, Fort Myers would have probably faded into history after its abandonment in 1858 if not for the Civil War. Towards the end of that bloody conflict the post took on a new significance for both sides. Not only did the Union reactivate the fort in the very midst of a presumed Confederate stronghold, but it staffed the garrison with black troops— the ultimate insult to those Southerners who stubbornly remained true to the Stars and Bars. Consequently, the recommissioning of Fort Myers resulted in the largest military action of …
From Camp Hill To Harvard Yard: The Early Years Of Claude D. Pepper, Ric A. Kabat
From Camp Hill To Harvard Yard: The Early Years Of Claude D. Pepper, Ric A. Kabat
Florida Historical Quarterly
Claude D. Pepper was born into economically deprived and socially humble circumstances on September 8, 1900, in Chambers County, Alabama. He grew up acquiring the traditional values of hard work, delayed gratification, Christian moral teachings, and, most importantly, a belief in cooperation and communitarian responsibility. These ethical standards shaped his personal life and propelled him into one of the most longstanding and productive political careers in American history. Together with contemporary liberal politicians from the South, such as Alabama congressman Carl Elliott, Senator and later Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black, Senator John J. Sparkman, Senator J. William Fulbright, and Lyndon …

William Tecumseh Sherman's Introduction To War, 1840-1842: Lesson For Action, Jane F. Lancaster
William Tecumseh Sherman's Introduction To War, 1840-1842: Lesson For Action, Jane F. Lancaster
Florida Historical Quarterly
William Tecumseh Sherman graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point on July 1, 1840, while the United States Army was fighting the Second Seminole War. About three months later this young second lieutenant, an Ohio native, received his first assignment as an officer, and joined the Third Artillery in Florida. Sherman spent the next seventeen months serving at three posts— Fort Pierce, Fort Lauderdale, and Picolata— from which he scouted swamps to find elusive Indians, led an expedition to bring in Coacoochee (Wild Cat)— one of the most colorful Seminole leaders— and commanded a supply depot. By …
The Florida Seminole Land Claims Case, 1950-1990, Harry A. Kersey, Jr.
The Florida Seminole Land Claims Case, 1950-1990, Harry A. Kersey, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
Long before the Florida Seminoles received federal recognition as a tribe in 1957 under the Indian Reorganization Act, they had become engaged in the defense of inherent tribal rights. Two major legal cases— one involving compensation for Seminole lands taken prior to the Second Seminole War and the other having to do with Seminole water rights on the Florida reservations during this century— had their origins in the 1950s before tribal government was established and functioning.1 In both instances congressional action finally resolved the issue in favor of the Seminoles. The much heralded Land Claims Case deserves special attention because …

Nancy Hynes Duval: Florida's First Lady, 1822-1834, Frank L. Snyder
Florida Historical Quarterly
The contributions of women to Florida history, and the details of their lives, have been sadly neglected by the state’s historians. Unfortunately, that fact particularly is applicable to the nineteenth century, when Florida developed political, social, and religious institutions and patterns that have continued to influence the state and its residents. Unless the individual left reminiscences, such as was the case with Ellen Call Long and Susan Bradford Eppes, or else attained national prominence, as did Rachel Jackson and Peggy Timberlake Eaton, the likelihood of our familiarity with them— despite their lifetime prominence and importance-is slim at best. One such …

The "Calamities Of Florida": Father Solana, Governor Palacio Y Valenzuela, And The Desertion Of 1753, Robert Kapitzke
The "Calamities Of Florida": Father Solana, Governor Palacio Y Valenzuela, And The Desertion Of 1753, Robert Kapitzke
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the past, studies of St. Augustine in the First Spanish Period (1565-1763) portrayed the settlement’s jurisdictional division of power as a series of two-way struggles between the Franciscans and the governors, the governors and the secular clergy, or the secular clergy and the Franciscans.1 More recent investigations, however, have shown that to appreciate the complexities of St. Augustine society fully it is necessary to look beyond this narrow, two-dimensional interpretation.2 St. Augustine, like all communities, was composed of an ever-changing web of interrelations involving all segments of society. Alliances were formed, and sides were taken. Often the struggle for …
The Hybridization Of Home: Establishing Place Between The Garrison And The Wilderness In Mary Rowlandson's (1682) Captivity Narrative, Brooke M. Weltch
The Hybridization Of Home: Establishing Place Between The Garrison And The Wilderness In Mary Rowlandson's (1682) Captivity Narrative, Brooke M. Weltch
USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Scholarship surrounding captivity narratives long agrees that the psychological and philosophical beliefs of their authors lend insight into the contemporaneous hegemonic power structures through literary forms. Looking beyond these forms to the places they describe, however, illustrates the extent to which cultural perceptions infiltrate even the mere relationships that individuals have with their environment as well as the material structures surrounding them. I focus the role of place in Mary Rowlandson’s narrative, The Soveraignty and Goodness of God (1682). I argue that Rowlandson forms an attachment with the wigwam on account of her traumatic experiences while in captivity. Her displacement …

Wages Of Resistance: A Consideration Of Time In Jessica Hagedorn’S Dogeaters, Laura A. Wright
Wages Of Resistance: A Consideration Of Time In Jessica Hagedorn’S Dogeaters, Laura A. Wright
Asian American Literature: Discourses & Pedagogies
Using the formal elements of Dogeaters, Jessica Hagedorn offers a pointed critique of class. Bringing Karl Marx’s discussion of time from Capital into conversation with Gèrard Genette’s narratological essay “Order, Duration and Frequency” I argue that Hagedorn’s depiction of time deliberately undermines the systems of power in the novel. Drawing particularly on Genette’s conceptualization of duration and frequency, I examine Hagedorn’s depictions of men and women at work, specifically the characters of Romeo Rosales and Trinidad Gamboa. Romeo and Trinidad are seldom mentioned in criticism of Hagedorn’s text, but these characters demonstrate Hagedorn’s attention to the working-class and serve …
Orientalism Restated In The Era Of Covid-19, Joey Kim
Orientalism Restated In The Era Of Covid-19, Joey Kim
Asian American Literature: Discourses & Pedagogies
This essay bridges a gap between an analysis of anti-Asian targeting and an analysis of Orientalism. Because histories of Orientalism and anti-Asian targeting pre-date the current moment, I demonstrate the centrality of Orientalism to the evolution of xenophobic language and sentiment in U.S.-foreign historical relations. I recount instances of anti-Asian, xenophobic, and “Yellow-Peril” rhetoric in the wake of the global COVID-19 pandemic. In doing so, I examine the racialization of COVID-19 as a trope of orientalism. This racialization, I argue, places the Asian-presenting body in a state of heightened visibility, precarity, and susceptibility to plunder. The newfound precarity of the …
