José Alejandro Huau: A Cuban Patriot In Jacksonville Politics, Gustavo J. Godoy
José Alejandro Huau: A Cuban Patriot In Jacksonville Politics, Gustavo J. Godoy
Florida Historical Quarterly
On Sunday afternoon, April 9, 1905, the long funeral procession of José Alejandro Huau moved at a slow pace to the Old City Cemetery in East Jacksonville, Florida. United States Senator James P. Taliaferro, the former Jacksonville mayor, Judge Morris A. Dzialynski, and a large entourage of dignitaries, honorary pall bearers, and other mourners rode in the flag-draped carriages. Many people came on foot. The procession included a large Masonic honor guard. A huge array of floral wreaths surrounded the burial site, as Jacksonville lamented the loss of one of its most esteemed citizens.
"A Year Of Monkey War": The Anti-Evolution Campaign And The Florida Legislature, Mary Duncan France
"A Year Of Monkey War": The Anti-Evolution Campaign And The Florida Legislature, Mary Duncan France
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the summer of 1925, the world focused its attention on the sleepy town of Dayton, Tennessee, the site of the “Monkey Trial” of John T. Scopes. William Jennings Bryan, former secretary of state and the nation’s most zealous fundamentalist, and Clarence Darrow, the most famous trial attorney of his time, were the real antagonists, as they argued over the issue of the teaching of evolution. Both sides battled as if each believed the trial would produce the definitive statement on God and the creation of man.
The Spaniards And William Augustus Bowles In Florida, 1799-1803, Robert Allen Matter
The Spaniards And William Augustus Bowles In Florida, 1799-1803, Robert Allen Matter
Florida Historical Quarterly
Napoleon Bonaparte by 1799 had either conquered his European enemies or had pacified them, and only Great Britain stood between him and complete mastery of the continent. Spain since 1795 had been a rather reluctant ally of France, and thus her coast and the coasts of her colonies, including those along the Gulf coast, had become subject to the depredations of almost overwhelming British sea power. To further plague the Spaniards another problem materialized in 1799—the return to Florida of William Augustus Bowles.
"Sporting Life On The Line": Prostitution In Progressive Era Pensacola, James R. Mcgovern
"Sporting Life On The Line": Prostitution In Progressive Era Pensacola, James R. Mcgovern
Florida Historical Quarterly
In our own time, when rapid changes in attitudes toward sexual morality are conversational coin, it is interesting to consider an experiment in the regulation of morals devised in Pensacola, Florida, in the early years of the twentieth century. As a port city, Pensacola responded historically to the sexual desires of large numbers of male transients by noteworthy permissiveness. The city displayed a similarly liberal attitude towards the consumption of alcoholic beverages.

Robert And John Grattan Gamble: Middle Florida Enterpreneurs, Michael G. Schene
Robert And John Grattan Gamble: Middle Florida Enterpreneurs, Michael G. Schene
Florida Historical Quarterly
Some time in 1826 the son of a wealthy Richmond merchant first looked upon the rich wilderness of Florida. Deteriorating economic conditions in Virginia combined with the attractive prospect of fertile tracts of land available at moderate prices in the new territory prompted John Grattan Gamble to visit Middle Florida. His tour probably included Tallahassee and the Gulf coast around St. Marks. Satisfied with what he found, Gamble returned to Virginia and persuaded members of his family to join him in Florida. Included were his brother, Robert, his brothers-in-law, William H. Cabell and William Wirt, and Wirt’s young son-in-law, Thomas …

A Padrone Looks At Florida: Labor Recruiting And The Florida East Coast Railway, George E. Pozzetta
Florida Historical Quarterly
The years surrounding the turn of the present century consituted a golden era of railroad construction and consolidation in Florida’s history. It was during this period that developer Henry B. Plant absorbed many small lines, pushed his steel rails to Florida’s west coast, and insured the future significance of Tampa Bay. William D. Chipley, “Mr. Railroad of West Florida,” constructed lines throughout the panhandle and invested heavily in the port of Pensacola. The railroad man epitomizing this age’s spirit of optimism and enterprise, however, was Standard Oil millionaire Henry M. Flagler, who chose the east coast of Florida as his …
Missions In The Defense Of Spanish Florida, 1566-1710, Robert Allen Matter
Missions In The Defense Of Spanish Florida, 1566-1710, Robert Allen Matter
Florida Historical Quarterly
Students of Colonial Latin America generally credit its Indian mission systems as effective instruments of frontier defense. A study of the Spanish missions of Florida does not support this thesis. The “paper” bulwark provided by the Florida missions when challenged could represent a significant exception to the alleged importance of the defense role of the church in the Indies. Or, it could reveal that the missionaries played an ineffective part in the defense of Latin-American frontiers. Regardless, Florida’s story suggests the need for a critical re-examination of the premise that religious missions held strategic areas beyond the line of established …

J. F. B. Marshall: A New England Emigrant Aid Company Agent In Post-War Florida, 1867, Patricia P. Clark
Florida Historical Quarterly
Near the end of his tour of Florida as agent for the New England Emigrant Aid Company in early 1867, General James Fowle Baldwin Marshall, former resident of Honolulu and more recently paymaster general of Massachusetts troops, wrote to his wartime commander, Governor John Andrew: “I am tempted by the prospect of usefulness & success, as well as by my long tropical experience to join the ‘Yankee horde’ of reconstructionists, & become a Floridian.“ This “Yankee horde” was enticed to postwar Florida not only by the climate, already fabled throughout the North as beneficial for consumptives and others ailing with …
Flagler's Magnificent Hotel Ponce De Leon, Thomas Graham
Flagler's Magnificent Hotel Ponce De Leon, Thomas Graham
Florida Historical Quarterly
St. Augustine is unusual among most American cities in that it possesses a distinct local atmosphere and character. Largely this charm stems from its Spanish heritage— the narrow streets overarched with balconies, its moss-covered coquina rock walls, and its ancient historic monuments such as the Castillo de San Marcos. But many of the buildings and homes of the city reflect the spirit of a more recent age, that of Victorian America before the turn of the century, when St. Augustine was the winter home of affluent Northerners. The most prominent Victorian buildings are three magnificent structures surrounding a central plaza …

Some Early Railroads In Alachua County, Caroline Watkins
Some Early Railroads In Alachua County, Caroline Watkins
Florida Historical Quarterly
Earliest transportation in Florida was usually by water routes— north and south— since few rivers offered east-west communication. The inland, unsettled country was covered by pine and oak forests and a thick growth of palmettos, vines, and scrub. Canals to connect the Atlantic and the Gulf had been proposed as early as the first Spanish period, and routes were surveyed in the 1820s. When it became evident that tidewater canals would be difficult to construct and locks expensive, attention was diverted to roads and railroads.
Vicente Pazos, Agent For The Amelia Island Filibusters, 1818, Charles H. Bowman, Jr.
Vicente Pazos, Agent For The Amelia Island Filibusters, 1818, Charles H. Bowman, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
The appearance of a North American squadron under John D. Henley and a land force under James Bankhead at the mouth of the St. Marys River on December 18, 1817, with orders to move against Luis Aury and his establishment on Amelia Island, compelled the filibusters to abandon posthaste their illfated Republic of the Floridas. Aury had occupied the island since September under the flag of Mexico. It was obvious that the North American fighting power was superior to any that Aury could muster and that surrender of the island was inevitable.

Reminiscences Of A Lector: Cuban Cigar Workers In Tampa, Louis A. Perez, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the latter half of the nineteenth century, increased tobacco imports revived the historico-economic nexus between Cuba and Florida. In Key West, Tampa, Ocala, and Jacksonville cigar factories opened to process Havana tobacco. Thousands of Cubans arrived in Florida to work and most of them established themselves permanently.
The New York Times Views Civil War Jacksonville, Richard A. Martin
The New York Times Views Civil War Jacksonville, Richard A. Martin
Florida Historical Quarterly
During the Civil War, military units North and South had their newspaper contingents in camp and field— war correspondents living out of saddlebags stuffed with pencils and notebooks, artists with sketch pads, and photographers working out of wagons jammed with the apparatus of their craft. Although southern newspapers were restricted by shortages of newsprint and men, northern journals prospered, publishing prolifically every shade of drama and every degree of tragedy the conflict offered. In fact, as Allan Nevins has observed, Civil War correspondents enjoyed such a virtual monopoly on the news “they were able to write with greater fullness and …

Florida Gubernatorial Politics: The Fuller Warren Years, David R. Colburn
Florida Historical Quarterly
Inaguration Day, January 3, 1949, dawned overcast and rainy in Tallahassee. The inclement weather, however, did not dampen the enthusiasm of a large crowd that lined the route from the executive mansion to the capitol to greet the new governor, Fuller Warren. With typical inaugural fanfare, Warren was escorted to the steps of the capitol by marching guardsmen and a band which periodically broke into a rendition of “Suwannee River,” the state song. After taking the oath of office, Warren gave a brief inaugural address in which he called for governmental economy, pine tree prosperity, citrus reform, increased tourism, and …

Newnansville: A Lost Florida Settlement, Susan Yelton
Newnansville: A Lost Florida Settlement, Susan Yelton
Florida Historical Quarterly
Created by an act of the Territorial Legislative Council on December 29, 1824, Alachua County comprised most of the territory known as “inland Florida,” extending almost from the Georgia line to Charlotte Harbor. The development of this land had a long and colorful history. In the annals of Florida history one finds the name Newnansville identified as the county seat of Alachua County, a fort site during the Second Seminole War; and as a prosperous nineteenth-century settlement in one of the richest land belts in north-central Florida. This little town, located south of the Santa Fe River, helped pave the …

Florida Historical Quarterly
At a time in our national history when the American Indian’s claim to social and political justice is being vigorously pursued, and dramatically portrayed through mass media coverage of incidents such as the occupation of Alcatraz, disruption at the Bureau of Indian Affairs in Washington, and a “Second Wounded Knee,” it might be well to consider in calmer retrospective one of those little known efforts to secure Indian rights which occurred in Florida at the turn of the century. The participants included an aggrieved Seminole headman of the Cow Creek band and his white friends who displayed an unusual zeal …

Vicente Pazos And The Amelia Island Affair, 1817, Charles H. Bowman, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
On May 9, 1817, seven distinguished patriots from Buenos Aires arrived at Savannah on board the English cutter Hero. The number included Vicente Pazos, editor of La Crónica Argentina. Their departure from the Río de la Plata had helped rid Supreme Director Juan Martín de Pueyrredón of his most virulent detractors. Born in the province of Larecaja in Upper Peru in 1779, Pazos was descended from the Aymará Indians who resided around Lake Titicaca. After attending the Royal and Pontifical University of San Antonio de Abad in Cuzco where he received his doctorate in sacred theology in 1804, Pazos taught …
