Cherokees And The Second Seminole War, Gary E. Moulton
Cherokees And The Second Seminole War, Gary E. Moulton
Florida Historical Quarterly
The Second Seminole War had its origins in removal agreements concluded between the Florida tribe and the United States government in 1832 and 1833. What had been accepted by a few Indian chiefs had not won the approval of the majority of the Seminoles who wanted to remain in their native lands. Attempts at forced emigration simply broadened scattered hostilities to become a major war by late 1835. The war was a tragic conflict that cost nearly $40,000,000 and countless lives of soldiers, civilians, and Indians. The administration of President Martin Van Buren was eager to find a way out …

Race, Politics And Education: The Sheats-Holloway Election Controversy, 1903-1904, Arthur O. White
Florida Historical Quarterly
William N. Sheats, elected three times as Florida state school superintendent, brought Florida national recognition by his progressive school policies. During his socalled “crusade against ignorance” he had written the educational provisions of the state constitution of 1885, organized the dual school system, and had helped to upgrade the professional status of teachers. His negotiations with the state legislature had resulted in a $188,000 appropriation for public schools from Florida’s Indian War claim settlement with the federal government and a $50,000 state appropriation for high school development. Still, Sheats had made many political enemies in Florida over the years, and …

Florida Seminoles: 1900-1920, James W. Covington
Florida Seminoles: 1900-1920, James W. Covington
Florida Historical Quarterly
The Florida Seminoles at the beginning of the twentieth century enjoyed a relatively good life. The more than 500 Indians were able to roam freely throughout a 20,000 square mile area situated in the lower part of the peninsula and lying mostly between the settled portions of the east and west coasts of Florida. Since the total population in this wilderness area including Indians, squatters, hunters, and trappers did not number more than 600 persons, there was room for all concerned. The Seminoles supported themselves by otter, plume, and alligator hunting, and they traded these feathers, hides, and skins for …
Greens, Grist And Guernseys: Development Of The Florida State Agricultural Marketing System, Martin M. Lagodna
Greens, Grist And Guernseys: Development Of The Florida State Agricultural Marketing System, Martin M. Lagodna
Florida Historical Quarterly
The Federal Governments role in aiding farmers is well known; the states’s relationship to agriculture has not been very well chronicled. Florida, for example, was slow in responding to federal stimuli in the early twentieth century, but once underway the state developed innovative programs to help farmers with their economic problems. Agriculture specialists believed that distribution of goods rather than production was the major problem. In the American capitalist system the markets functioned as the distributive agencies. The economists focused their attention on agricultural marketing and importuned government to assist with this endeavor.
Foreigners In Florida: A Study Of Immigration Promotion, 1865-1910, George E. Pozzetta
Foreigners In Florida: A Study Of Immigration Promotion, 1865-1910, George E. Pozzetta
Florida Historical Quarterly
For most of the long American period, Floridians have been deeply concerned with the problem of attracting people to the borders of their state. Though the motivations behind the various efforts to induce migration into the state have changed, ranging from early desires simply to populate uninhabited lands to more modern concerns of tourism and development, the spirit has been remarkably consistent. Indeed, it has only been within the last few years that the “heresy” of imposing legal limits on population growth has been listened to with any degree of toleration. In no other period of Florida’s past, however, have …

When A Minority Becomes The Majority: Blacks In Jacksonville Politics, 1887-1907, Edward N. Akin
When A Minority Becomes The Majority: Blacks In Jacksonville Politics, 1887-1907, Edward N. Akin
Florida Historical Quarterly
With the end of Reconstruction in 1876, the national Republican party abandoned the blacks of the South to state governments controlled by native southern whites. This traditional textbook interpretation of the plight of blacks in the Bourbon South rested on two implicit assumptions: the black was dependent on national Republicanism for protection; and, with the end of this protective system, blacks ceased to be a viable independent political element.1 When blacks did vote during the Bourbon era, they were pictured as sheep being led by conservative whites. An example of this voting behavior in an urban setting is recounted in …

Florida's Disrupted Mail Service, 1821-1845, Richard J. Stanaback
Florida's Disrupted Mail Service, 1821-1845, Richard J. Stanaback
Florida Historical Quarterly
When Florida became an American territory in 1821, almost no means of communication existed between its settlements or with other parts of the country. If a viable government and a prosperous economy were to be instituted, effective links of correspondence would have to be developed. To accomplish these ends, the post office department in succeeding years authorized many post roads and post offices. By 1845, there were approximately fifty post offices, and 2,920 miles of post roads in Florida.

Tallahassee Through The Storebooks: Era Of Radical Reconstruction, 1867-1877, Clifton Paisley
Florida Historical Quarterly
Leon was the largest and richest county in Florida at the outbreak of the Civil War. Its population numbered 12,343, and its property was assessed at $8,843,095 in 1860. It led the state in agriculture; its farms were valued at $2,482,211, and during the crop year 1859 they produced 16,686 bales of cotton, 421,654 bushels of corn, and 136,038 bushels of sweet potatoes. It ranked third in manufacturing. Twenty-six establishments in 1859 employed 239 male and seven female workers and produced products worth $261,200. The county, like the rest of Florida and the South, suffered grievous economic losses during the …

Lieutenant Colonel James Robertson's Mission To The Floridas, 1763, Robert R. Rea
Florida Historical Quarterly
The British acquisition of Florida and the Gulf coast from Spain and France in 1763 represented the rounding out of both continental and Caribbean boundaries, the fulfillment of Pitt’s triumphant vision of imperial expansion. But neither the Great Commoner nor the common Englishman had a very clear notion of those territories which were transformed into the provinces of East and West Florida. A misleading propaganda campaign might educate London coffeeshop habitués to the beauties and prospective riches of the new colonies, but the British army in North America needed more realistic information in order to establish that internal security upon …
Defeat In Victory: Yankee Experience In Early Civil War Jacksonville, Richard A. Martin
Defeat In Victory: Yankee Experience In Early Civil War Jacksonville, Richard A. Martin
Florida Historical Quarterly
It is something of an irony that Jacksonville, a sleepy town removed from the major centers of agitation prior to the Civil War, was affected so directly by the passions raging across the land. Jacksonville was settled by people from all parts of the country, many of whom earned a living catering to a cosmopolitan mix of travellers, including many from foreign lands. With a resident population about one-third southern, one-third northern, and one-third slave, Jacksonville was, in effect, a kind of national microcosm where the prevailing political controversies were acted out to their logical and disastrous ends.

A Woman Liberated: Lillian C. West, Editor, Bernadette K. Loftin

Lillian Carisle West's professional name, L. C. West, graced the masthead of the weekly Panama City Pilot from 1917 to 1937. She also managed or edited two other local papers, the St. Andrews Bay News and Lynn Haven Free Press, during part of this period, and she operated the Gulf Coast Development Company and the Panama City Publishing Company. Thus, for almost two decades, Mrs. West successfully assumed a leadership position generally reserved only for the male sex by the society of her time. How she managed to accomplish this feat in a small southern town where women’s struggle for …
The Enterprise Of Florida, Eugene Lyon
The Enterprise Of Florida, Eugene Lyon
Florida Historical Quarterly
Knowledge of Florida history tends to cluster around certain key events. Thus, the Spanish colonial period is marked by the Ponce de León and De Soto landings, the Drake raid of 1586, and the building of the Castillo de San Marcos. Interpretation of the first successful settlement of Florida by Pedro Menéndez de Avilés is centered upon the diplomatic and military drama culminating at Fort Caroline and at Matanzas. Woodbury Lowery and Henry Folmer have shown the Spanish-French clash of 1565 in its international setting. The spiritual aspect of the Menéndez conquest has been developed by a host of historians: …

The Pwa In Tampa: A Case Study, Charles B. Lowry
Florida Historical Quarterly
The stock market crash of 1929 and the ensuing depression resulted in the first attempts by the federal government to stimulate the economy on a massive scale at a time of economic collapse. President Hoover moved reluctantly in this area, but Franklin D. Roosevelt, although poorly grounded in economics, avidly applied Keynesian economic theory to an extent unacceptable to his Republican predecessor. The programs of the New Deal affected vast numbers of individuals and businesses, both large and small. The Tampa Shipbuilding and Engineering Company (T.S.&E.) founded by Ernest Kreher, a German immigrant, was among the latter. In 1932, while …
A Purely Business Motive: German-American Lumber Company, 1901-1918, Edward F. Keuchel
A Purely Business Motive: German-American Lumber Company, 1901-1918, Edward F. Keuchel
Florida Historical Quarterly
"The German-American Lumber Company had no motive except a purely business motive." So stated Gerhard Rolfs, treasurer of the company, as the federal government proceeded to take over this German-owned business during World War I. At issue was the charge that the firm was a front organization for German espionage operations during the war. This, as the evidence revealed, was not the case. Yet the emotional fervors of a nation at war had created suspicions about the alien-owned lumber company which had been an important part of Florida’s yellow-pine industry. The German-American Lumber Company was not a subversive organization. To …
