Historic Notes And Documents: Harriet Ward Foote Hawley: Civil War Journalist, Sarah Whitmer Foster
Historic Notes And Documents: Harriet Ward Foote Hawley: Civil War Journalist, Sarah Whitmer Foster
Florida Historical Quarterly
Between January 2, 1863, and February 7, 1864, Harriet Ward Foote Hawley wrote seven newspaper articles about her experiences in the South during the Civil War-four of which were written in Florida. For a woman to have done this in the period was extraordinary. While many women recorded their experiences during the Civil War, very few did so for newspapers. Historian James M. Perry described the era's press corps as a group of "fascinating men." Such a statement is not completely accurate, however. Historian J. Cutler Andrews identified a few women who covered the conflict. Among over three hundred Yankees, …
The Florida Room: Religion & Romance: A Florida Memoir, Ron Mcfarland
The Florida Room: Religion & Romance: A Florida Memoir, Ron Mcfarland
Florida Historical Quarterly
When I was thirteen years old my parents suddenly became Methodists. All of my life we had been God-fearing Presbyterians, and my father sang in the choir and my mother taught Sunday School. I went to vacation Bible school at the First Presbyterian Church in Rockledge, Florida, and my first girlfriend, Sherry, she of the blue-green eyes and honey-blonde hair, was a Presbyterian. Before that, when we moved to Winter Park in 1950, we attended Park Lake Presbyterian, and before that, in Barnesville, Ohio, we worshipped at the massive reddish-sandstone block First Presbyterian Church where I was baptized. Or was …

Hurricanes And The Shaping Of Circum-Caribbean Societies, Stuart B. Schwartz
Hurricanes And The Shaping Of Circum-Caribbean Societies, Stuart B. Schwartz
Florida Historical Quarterly
Every Puerto Rican knows this plena and can sing its chorus, and on that island where, from July to October, everyone frequently checks the weather reports and looks to the sky, the song seems to describe a generic situation, a way of life, and a common reality. Few people today remember that the song was originally composed to commemorate a particular storm-the great hurricane of San Felipe that diagonally traversed Puerto Rico on September 13, 1928. Hurricanes are no novelty to the islanders, but the fury of that one was memorable. No one who lived through it forgot it. Don …
"A Veritable Refuge For Practicing Homosexuals": The Johns Committee And The University Of South Florida, Dan Bertwell
"A Veritable Refuge For Practicing Homosexuals": The Johns Committee And The University Of South Florida, Dan Bertwell
Florida Historical Quarterly
On April 24, 1963, University of South Florida president John Allen stood before the State Legislature determined to defend his school from the Johns Committee. The previous week, Mark Hawes, an attorney for the committee, had made disparaging comments toward USF. In his rebuttal, Allen described Hawes's statement as "a skillful blend of truths, half-truths, and omissions." In a written transcript of Allen's words, sandwiched between two pages defending the school from charges of being "soft" on Communism and two pages refuting the assertion that USF's faculty was "anti-religious," are three paragraphs describing "the area of homosexual behavior" and related …

Voice Of The Exploited Majority: Claude Kirk And The 1970 Manatee County Forced Busing Incident, Benjamin Houston
Voice Of The Exploited Majority: Claude Kirk And The 1970 Manatee County Forced Busing Incident, Benjamin Houston
Florida Historical Quarterly
At 7:35 a.m. on Monday, April 6, 1970, Governor Claude R. Kirk Jr. strode into an unfamiliar office in Bradenton, a small Gulf Coast town sandwiched between St. Petersburg and Sarasota. The new quarters belonged to the Manatee County superintendent of schools, and the previous occupant, fired by Kirk, was now replaced by the governor himself. Kirk's self-promotion was prompted by Manatee's capitulation to a federal court order mandating immediate busing of schoolchildren with only nine weeks remaining in the academic term. Yet, the governor's conduct also marked a new level of commitment for a county associated since 1954 with …

Historic Notes And Documents: Philadelphia Foundations Of The Wm. G. Porter Company Of Apalachicola, Judith Y. Robertson
Historic Notes And Documents: Philadelphia Foundations Of The Wm. G. Porter Company Of Apalachicola, Judith Y. Robertson
Florida Historical Quarterly
During the 1830s, the Florida Panhandle was an American frontier and recently discovered documents show that Philadelphians played a significant role in opening the territory. Found in the attic of a family home is correspondence that evolved over almost half a century, including thirty productive years of the William G. Porter Company, established and operated in Apalachicola by the Porter, Ruan, and Benezet families of Pennsylvania and Florida. The correspondence, touching not only on business and economics but on personal matters like family, courtship, education, travel, nature, politics, and even weather, relates much as to how commerce bound Philadelphia to …

Did Slaves Have Free Will? Luke, A Slave, V. Florida And Crime At The Command Of The Master, Craig Buettinger
Florida Historical Quarterly
The mules had been shot. When the mules, regularly left to forage for themselves amid the Florida scrub, did not wander back to the Hernandez plantation, Adam, the driver charged with their care, went to look for them. He found the animals dead and dying along the road that connected the Hernandez and Dupont plantations, south of St. Augustine. A trail of blood led to Dupont's.

The Catholic Church, Martin Luther King Jr., And The March In St. Augustine, Charles R. Gallagher
The Catholic Church, Martin Luther King Jr., And The March In St. Augustine, Charles R. Gallagher
Florida Historical Quarterly
In 1963 and 1964, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference selected St. Augustine, Florida, as a target city for a new round of civil rights protests. It marked the first major SCLC campaign since the Freedom Rides and Birmingham demonstrations of 1961. In St. Augustine, local chapters of the National Association of Colored People and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference labored to enlist local Roman Catholics in the cause for civil rights, hoping that a cooperative relationship might help desegregate local businesses, civil service agencies, and restaurants. As demonstrations in St. Augustine developed, however, King's …
The Koreshan Communitarians' Papers And Publications In Edtero, 1894-1963, Irvin D.S. Winsboro
The Koreshan Communitarians' Papers And Publications In Edtero, 1894-1963, Irvin D.S. Winsboro
Florida Historical Quarterly
The Koreshan Unity settlement in Estero is one of Florida's most interesting yet largely under-researched chapters of history. Organized by the mystical Cyrus Teed, the Koreshans created at the turn of the twentieth century one of Florida's few self-sustaining communal societies. The original Koreshans are gone now, but their heritage lives on in the form of the Koreshan State Historic Site in Estero, reminding over fifty thousand annual visitors of one of Florida's unique historical episodes. In particular, the Koreshans' leading economic enterprises-their publishing ventures-reflected the crux of the Koreshan experience in Florida. Their extant literature and disparate archived documents …

Senator Claude D. Pepper: Advocate Of Aid To The Allies, 193901941, Joan E. Denman
Florida Historical Quarterly
As a junior United States Senator from Florida during 1939-1941, Claude Denson Pepper was one of the most vocal advocates of conscription and aid to France and Britain. Having seen Adolph Hitler's influence and popularity firsthand in 1938, he realized the threat that Nazi Germany presented to the European continent, Great Britain, and possibly the United States. Throughout 1939 and 1940, he spoke of the need for preparedness and became increasingly outspoken as the conflict in Europe intensified. With the help of presidential advisor Benjamin V. Cohen, he drafted two Senate bills for aid to the Allies in May 1940. …

Steamboats, Cypress, & Tourism: An Ecological History Of The Ocklawaha In The Late Nineteenth Century, Seven Noll
Steamboats, Cypress, & Tourism: An Ecological History Of The Ocklawaha In The Late Nineteenth Century, Seven Noll
Florida Historical Quarterly
In 1882, George Barbour thusly described Florida's Ocklawaha River in his guidebook to the state. This river, whose name is variously spelled in the promotional literature, tourist pamphlets, and magazine articles of the late nineteenth century, enticed northern visitors and entrepreneurs alike in the years following the Civil War. Its exotic subtropical landscape, heavily forested and swampy banks, bizarre and atavistic wildlife, and otherworldly springs made it seem like something out of Africa rather than the United States. That a trip up the river by steamboat led to the remarkable fishbowl of Silver Springs only added to its appeal. From …

Get The Facts - And Then Act": How Marjorie H. Carr And Florida Defenders Of The Enviornment Fought To Save The Ocklawaha River, Frederick R. Davis
Florida Historical Quarterly
Self described as a "Micanopy housewife," Marjorie Harris Carr seemed an unlikely candidate to develop and lead a successful grassroots campaign to save the Ocklawaha River and the wilderness surrounding it against the Army Corps of Engineers' federally mandated Cross-Florida Barge Canal. In spearheading the "Fight to Save the Ocklawaha," Carr revealed an innate sense of how to present environmental science to the public, the media, and legislators in a way that swayed opinion.
Economic Boom Or Political Boondoggle? Florida's Atlantic Gulf Ship Canal In The 1930s, Michael David Tegeder
Economic Boom Or Political Boondoggle? Florida's Atlantic Gulf Ship Canal In The 1930s, Michael David Tegeder
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the 1930s, the federal government began construction on one of the grandest public works projects in Florida. More than twice the length of the Suez and four times larger than the Panama Canal, the Atlantic Gulf Ship Canal was "perhaps the most opulent single symbol of the New Deal."1 Yet, despite the labor and massive expenditures on the part of state and federal officials, the project ended within a year of its groundbreaking. Plagued by political controversy from start to finish, the Ship Canal can be seen as a dress-rehearsal for the decades-long debate over the Cross-Florida Barge Canal …
Introduction, Sherry Johnson
Introduction, Sherry Johnson
Florida Historical Quarterly
Originally presented at the Third Biennial Allen Morris Conference in February 2004, the articles in this special issue of the Florida Historical Quarterly examine the history of three related riverine environments in north central Florida--the St. Johns River, the Ocklawaha River, and the Withlacoochee River basinss-from the mid-nineteenth century through the 1990s.1 The conference panel was designed to demonstrate how exploiting the rivers furthered modern ideas, promoted progress, and created economic prosperity. All three studies also sought to show how modernization had the potential to wreak havoc on a unique, fragile, and irreplaceable ecosystem. Collectively, these essays examine how the …

Reading The Traumatic Moment: The Role Of Socioeconomic Systems In The Color Purple And The Bluest Eye, Andrea Doll
Reading The Traumatic Moment: The Role Of Socioeconomic Systems In The Color Purple And The Bluest Eye, Andrea Doll
Undergraduate Theses
There are many points of sameness between Alice Walker's The Color Purple and Toni Morrison's The Bluest Eye. Both novels occur in the mid-20th century and focus on protagonists within the same race, gender, and relative class. Of all the similarities between the texts, the most influential is the trauma, sexual and otherwise, shared between Pecola Breedlove and Celie. Most notably, both characters experience incestuous rape resulting in pregnancy shortly after their first menstruation. Despite their numerous shared events and attributes, what occurs after their sexual trauma differs drastically for each character. At the end of The Color Purple …
