Creating The United States District Court For The Middle District Of Florida, James M. Denham
Creating The United States District Court For The Middle District Of Florida, James M. Denham
Florida Historical Quarterly
The creation of the Middle District was tied up in fundamental changes that, in the mid-1950s, were working social, cultural, political, and all manner of other revolutions in the Sunshine State. The Middle District was carved out of the Southern District of Florida, a huge district that spanned the entire peninsula from the Georgia border to the Florida Keys. The new district resembled a cross ways slash of territory running from the Georgia border as far south as Brevard County before it swung west and south all the way down the peninsula to the southern boundary of Lee County. After …
Segregation/Integration In The Middle District Of Florida, William Terrell Hodges
Segregation/Integration In The Middle District Of Florida, William Terrell Hodges
Florida Historical Quarterly
On a Monday May 18, 1896, the Supreme Court of the United States announced its decision in Plessy v. Ferguson. The Court found that a statute in Louisiana requiring railroad companies to provide separate passenger cars for the white and black races did not offend the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment. In its opinion, the Court relied upon decisions of several state supreme courts which upheld the provision of separate educational opportunities for children of both races. For almost six decades, Plessy v. Ferguson was accepted as Supreme Court justification or authority for the maintenance of separate school …
Fifty Years Of Central Florida History Through The Lens Of The Federal Courts, Richard S. Dellinger
Fifty Years Of Central Florida History Through The Lens Of The Federal Courts, Richard S. Dellinger
Florida Historical Quarterly
Fifty years ago, Central Florida schools were segregated by race; population was beginning to swell; development was beginning; airports were not used for significant travel; Disney, Universal and Sea World had not yet arrived; and the Space Race had just started. Central Florida has seen much change over the past fifty years. And, all throughout those fifty years, our courts have been a witness to the changes in Central Florida.

Florida Historical Quarterly
The publication of the 2012 Symposium celebrating the Fiftieth Anniversary of the United States District Court of the Middle District of Florida has been a two-year project. Attorneys Richard S. Dellinger and T. Michael Woods first approached the University of Central Florida Department of History for assistance in organizing the symposium in 2011. In the course of discussions on the format of the symposium, the idea of publishing the papers as a special issue of the Florida Historical Quarterly emerged.

Conquerors, Peacekeepers, Or Both? The U.S. Army And West Florida, 1810-1811, A New Perspective, Samuel Wilson
Florida Historical Quarterly
The Louisiana Purchase did not remove Spanish posts along the east bank of the Mississippi River. These posts could still choke off commerce at New Orleans, and American leaders immediately began pressing Spain to cede West Florida. Spain rejected U.S. demands, Napoleon refused to compel its acquiescence, and U.S officials became increasingly belligerent. The commanding general of the U.S. Army, Brigadier General James Wilkinson, repeatedly sought permission to seize West Florida, an area that included the eastern parishes of Louisiana and parts of present day Mississippi, Alabama and Florida. President Jefferson's reluctance to mobilize an adequate force precluded military action …
The Florida Historical Society Presents An Original Courtroom Drama: Ponce De Leon Landed Here!!, Benjamin D. Brotemarkle
The Florida Historical Society Presents An Original Courtroom Drama: Ponce De Leon Landed Here!!, Benjamin D. Brotemarkle
Florida Historical Quarterly
Juan Ponce de Leon's first visit to Florida in 1513, changed the course of history. The people who had inhabited this land for more than ten thousand years would have their existence forever altered. Ponce's "discovery" of the Gulf Stream paved the way for the first European colonization of America, and he gave our state its name.
Looking For Angola: An Archaeological And Ethnohistorical Search For A Nineteenth Century Florida Maroon Community And Its Caribbean Connections, Rosalyn Howard
Looking For Angola: An Archaeological And Ethnohistorical Search For A Nineteenth Century Florida Maroon Community And Its Caribbean Connections, Rosalyn Howard
Florida Historical Quarterly
The "Looking for Angola" project (LFA) commenced on December 12, 2004 when shovels broke ground on the south side of the Manatee River at the point where it meets the Braden River. Based upon historical research, this area is believed to be the former location of Angola. Historian John Lee Williams referred to it as "Negro Point,"1 but in a land claim document filed by two Cuban fishermen it was labeled "Angola."2 The groundbreaking marked the realization of Project Director Vickie Oldham's wish to relate the story of early African American settlers in the Tampa Bay-Sarasota area of Florida. While …

Juan Ponce De Leon And The Discovery Of Florida Reconsidered, Samuel Turner
Juan Ponce De Leon And The Discovery Of Florida Reconsidered, Samuel Turner
Florida Historical Quarterly
This paper will reconsider a number of sources, both those commonly cited as well as some that are less well known, that are used in our interpretation and understanding of Juan Ponce de Leon's 1513 voyage of discovery to Florida. A number of ideas that are commonly accepted as fact are reexamined. These include the date of Ponce's first sighting of the east coast of Florida, the specific ship types used during the voyage, as well as the perception that the latitudes provided in our principal source for this voyage suffer from a "northing error." The Melbourne Beach landing theory …

Talking Trash: A Short History Of Solid Waste Management In Florida, Andrew Fairbanks
Talking Trash: A Short History Of Solid Waste Management In Florida, Andrew Fairbanks
Florida Historical Quarterly
Death and taxes may be the only certainties in life, but taking out the trash is a daily routine for virtually every American household. Human beings have always discarded things, and in the more remote past, people often used discards for other purposes, such as empty oyster shells that formed impressive Native American ceremonial mounds. Until World War II, farmers and urbanites alike fed food scraps to pets, pigs, and other animals. Today, everything from worn out furniture to old cell phones is heaped into piles that comprise one of contemporary Florida's most easily identified landscape features: landfills. As a …
The Fleeting Fame Of Florida's Filibuster, "Major" Frank Hann, Paul S. Losch
The Fleeting Fame Of Florida's Filibuster, "Major" Frank Hann, Paul S. Losch
Florida Historical Quarterly
For three months in 1895, newspaper readers across the United States followed the heroic adventures of Major F. P. Hann, an American volunteer fighting to free Cuba from Spanish oppression. Hann's thirteen letters offered eyewitness accounts from the island's battlefields during the early days of the Cuban War of Independence. The ninth of these letters ran in at least 90 papers, including some well-known today, such as the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Atlanta Constitution and the San Francisco Chronicle, and it described the arrival from Key West of" 100 men, 1,000 repeating rifles, 2,000,000 rounds of ammunition …
Shipwrecked In The Atlantic World: Reevaluating Jonathan Dickinson's Interactions With Native Peoples Along Florida's Southeastern Coast, Jason Daniels
Florida Historical Quarterly
As the sun rose upon the mangled and beleaguered Reformation on October 23, 1696, Jonathan Dickinson, an Anglo-Jamaican planter in the process of relocating his mercantile affairs to Philadelphia, found himself shipwrecked hundreds of miles from the nearest European colony and stranded amongst Native Americans.2 For modern scholars, Dickinson's account of his two-month odyssey from present-day Jupiter Island to Spanish St. Augustine has proved to be an indispensable ethnographical tract for examining Native Americans living south of the Spanish mission provinces during the late-seventeenth and early-eighteenth centuries. Nevertheless, this complicated and inscrutable text, like much of the Florida peninsula, remains …

Sixteenth-Century Florida In The European Imagination, John Mcgrath
Sixteenth-Century Florida In The European Imagination, John Mcgrath
Florida Historical Quarterly
What we call Florida today is the nearest part of the American mainland to the spot where Columbus landed in 1492, while North America's east coast is also the closest part of the New World to Europe's Atlantic ports. Despite the proximity, Florida remained a mysterious, perplexing land throughout the sixteenth century. For over a century, rumors and legends of various kinds of riches promised rewards to those who could find them, yet successive attempts to explore and settle were frustrating or even disastrous. By 1600, the only lasting European footprint in Florida was St. Augustine, a small outpost that …
Entangled Borderlands: Europeans And Timucuans In Sixteenth-Century Florida, Jonathan Decoster
Entangled Borderlands: Europeans And Timucuans In Sixteenth-Century Florida, Jonathan Decoster
Florida Historical Quarterly
In February 1566, grisly news reached the Norman port cities of Dieppe and Le Havre. The French Huguenot colonists, who had left those ports for Florida less than two years previously, had been cruelly slaughtered by Spaniards. An open letter to France's king, purportedly written by the widows and orphans of the victims, was quickly published in an attempt to prod the crown into action. "The blood of your poor subjects, thus treacherously spilt, cries out before God for vengeance," it exclaimed.1 When the crown seemed deaf to the public outcry, a private citizen, Dominique de Gourgues, felt driven to …
The Historical Archaeology Of Sixteenth-Century La Florida, Kathleen A. Deagan
The Historical Archaeology Of Sixteenth-Century La Florida, Kathleen A. Deagan
Florida Historical Quarterly
Historical archaeology-also known as text-aided archaeology-is the study of the past through the integration of material remains, stratigraphic contexts, and written documents. The use of written documents provides the time frame of historical archaeological research in La Florida-that is, from the date of the arrival of Europeans (ca. 1513) and the written accounts they left. In the same way, the very notion of "La Florida"-a completely European-imposed geographical idea-also assumes a post-1513 chronology, and a spatial boundary that would have been quite alien to the indigenous peoples who lived there.
The Historiography Of Sixteenth-Century La Florida, Paul E. Hoffman
The Historiography Of Sixteenth-Century La Florida, Paul E. Hoffman
Florida Historical Quarterly
The sixteenth-century history of what the Spaniards called La Florida (roughly the entire Southeastern United States)1 starts with what to us is a mystery and ends nearly as obscurely after passing a number of well-known and oft-narrated episodes of exploration, Pedro Menendez de Aviles' founding of an enduring colony as part of the Franco-Spanish "cold war" of 1559-1593, the martyrdoms of Jesuit and then Franciscan missionaries (1571; 1597 respectively), and finally territorial rivalries as the English began their colonial ventures in eastern North America. Until the 1950s, the historiography of these well-known episodes generally reflected the interests of lay, clerical …

500 Years Of Florida History - The Sixteenth Century: An Introduction, Connie L. Lester
Florida Historical Quarterly
The year 2013 marks the quincentennial of Juan Ponce de Leon's exploration of lands known for the past five hundred years as Florida. Historians have long noted the consequences of Ponce's activities, interpreted their origins, and offered assessments of the region's past as it related to events taking place in 1513 and the century that followed. Some have focused on European conquistadores, highlighting the exploits of colorful individuals and the institutions they represented. Others have emphasized the lives of Florida's indigenous inhabitants, especially their existence prior to colonization and reactions to foreign invaders in subsequent years. In terms of methodology, …
