Rosewood And America In The Early Twentieth Century, David R. Colburn
Rosewood And America In The Early Twentieth Century, David R. Colburn
Florida Historical Quarterly
Race relations in the Rosewood-Sumner area had been reasonably harmonious for as long as most residents could remember, but all that changed forever on the morning of January 1, 1923. When James Taylor, a millwright at the Cummer Lumber Company in Sumner, left home before sunrise to prepare the mill for its daily operations, all seemed normal. Later that morning, his wife, Fanny Taylor, answered a knock at the door. Within minutes of the encounter at the Taylor’s front door, relations between blacks and whites were permanently altered. Claiming she had been assaulted by a black man, Taylor allowed others …
The Rosewood Massacre And The Women Who Survived It, Maxine D. Jones
The Rosewood Massacre And The Women Who Survived It, Maxine D. Jones
Florida Historical Quarterly
Fannie Taylor’s screams on the morning of January 1, 1923, shattered the peace of several Levy County communities. Her subsequent accusations of being attacked by a black man set in motion a chain of events that before the end of the week had resulted in at least eight deaths and the destruction of a town called Rosewood. Fewer than four thousand blacks resided in Levy County in 1920. The 3,960 African Americans comprised 39.9% of the county’s population, and as long as they remembered the place ascribed to them they lived in relative harmony with area whites.1
Special Section: Rosewood: Before And After, Florida Historical Society
Special Section: Rosewood: Before And After, Florida Historical Society
Florida Historical Quarterly
In this Special Section, two senior historians of Florida history examine the root causes and consequences of the unfortunate developments at Rosewood, Florida, in 1923. In the first article, “Rosewood and America in the Early Twentieth Century,” David R. Colburn, professor of history at the University of Florida, shows how the carnival of violence that erupted at Rosewood was neither random nor isolated. A wave of racial violence swept across the nation during the late 1910s and early 1920s, the unfortunate result of the social, economic, and cultural upheavals that accompanied the nation’s involvement in World War I. According to …
Lonely Vigils: Houses Of Refuge On Florida's East Coast, 1876-1915, Sandra Henderson Thurlow
Lonely Vigils: Houses Of Refuge On Florida's East Coast, 1876-1915, Sandra Henderson Thurlow
Florida Historical Quarterly
Between 1875 and 1886, ten houses of refuge and a life-saving station were built at intervals along Florida’s east coast below St. Augustine. Their primary purpose was to aid shipwreck victims, but they provided strongholds in the wilderness as well. The stations, as they were called by the early settlers, joined four lighthouses to establish a governmental presence and a framework to which pioneer development clung.

Sarasota: Hardship And Tourism In The 1930s, Ruthmary Bauer
Sarasota: Hardship And Tourism In The 1930s, Ruthmary Bauer
Florida Historical Quarterly
From 1922 to 1926, Sarasota experienced the top-of-the-world exhilaration of the great Florida land boom as it evolved from a frontier town into a modern city. During this crucial period Sarasotans debated the course of the city’s development. Some residents wanted the city to become a deepwater port while others, among them developers John Ringling and Owen Burns, envisioned Sarasota as a metropolitan resort for the moderately wealthy settler and the winter visitor. During the early and mid-1920s real estate developers embarked on a flurry of new construction that included plush resort hotels, skyscrapers, and upscale residential communities. The city’s …

Volusia: The Origin Of A Name, Donald C. Gaby
Volusia: The Origin Of A Name, Donald C. Gaby
Florida Historical Quarterly
The origin of the name “Volusia” for the county and community in Florida has been a mystery. Although at least three explanations have been offered, many professional historians writing of Florida or of Volusia County claim that the origin of the name is unknown.
A Myth Reflects A Generation’S Technological Disillusionment: Edison And The Electrification Of Fort Myers, Michele Wehrwein Albion
A Myth Reflects A Generation’S Technological Disillusionment: Edison And The Electrification Of Fort Myers, Michele Wehrwein Albion
Florida Historical Quarterly
Over the past century and a half, Thomas Alva Edison has been variously regarded regionally, nationally, and globally as a wizard, an American icon, and a genius. He ushered in the modern era with his invention of the incandescent light, phonograph, and improvements to the battery, telephone, and motion picture. But accompanying Edison’s accomplishments is a body of myth. Two related myths regarding the introduction of technology in Fort Myers, Florida, reflect Edison’s ability to inspire fiction. These myths demonstrate how one generation’s frustration with the failure of contemporary technology prompted it to create a tale of the previous generation’s …
"So Goes The Negro": Race And Labor In Miami, 1940-1963, Eric Tscheschlok
"So Goes The Negro": Race And Labor In Miami, 1940-1963, Eric Tscheschlok
Florida Historical Quarterly
In recent years, numerous studies have probed connections between race relations and organized labor in twentieth-century America. Often, these studies have challenged the notion that the modern civil rights movement began in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court’s 1954 school desegregation ruling. In their study of race and labor, for example, Robert Korstad and Nelson Lichtenstein have argued that the civil rights era began in the 1940s with the mobilization of large numbers of urban, working-class black Americans. During this period, as the two authors have pointed out, the “half million black workers who joined unions affiliated with the …
Ditches And Dreams: Nelson Fell And The Rise Of Fellsmere, Gordon Patterson
Ditches And Dreams: Nelson Fell And The Rise Of Fellsmere, Gordon Patterson
Florida Historical Quarterly
On April 28, 1911, both the St. Lucie Tribune and the Fort Pierce News published descriptions of an innovative land development project. The Fellsmere Farms Company proposed to drain 118,000 acres of land at the headwaters of the St. Johns River. Since 1910, the newly formed corporation had “shunned publicity, preferring to devote all the time, energy and money to development work.“1 Fellsmere Farms Company was the brainchild of Nelson Fell, an itinerant Englishman and hydraulic engineer with more than three decades of experience in directing land development in Florida. The company’s unusual name, a 1913 sales brochure explained, was …
Something More Than A Creed: Mary Mcleod Bethune's Aim Of Integrated Autonomy As Director Of Negro Affairs, Christopher E. Linsin
Something More Than A Creed: Mary Mcleod Bethune's Aim Of Integrated Autonomy As Director Of Negro Affairs, Christopher E. Linsin
Florida Historical Quarterly
Hard work and divine inspiration remained central aspects of Mary McLeod Bethune’s character throughout her life. A strong and consistent advocate of racial uplift through industrial education and hard work, Bethune embraced Booker T. Washington’s educational perspectives and his advocacy of racial pride and group solidarity. Also sympathetic toward the position held by Washington’s ideological nemesis, William Edward Burghardt Du Bois, Bethune embraced notions of racial empowerment by seeking both black social autonomy and full integration into the white economic community. Melding the philosophies of both Washington and Du Bois, Mary McLeod Bethune embraced an ideological position that sought to …

"Was I A Member Of Congress . . .": Zachary Taylor's Letter To John J. Crittenden, January 12, 1838, Concerning The Second Seminole War, Harry A. Kersey, Jr.
"Was I A Member Of Congress . . .": Zachary Taylor's Letter To John J. Crittenden, January 12, 1838, Concerning The Second Seminole War, Harry A. Kersey, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
On January 12, 1838, Colonel Zachary Taylor penned a letter to his close friend and confidant Senator John J. Crittenden of Kentucky. Eighteen days earlier, on Christmas Day, 1837, Taylor’s command fought the largest and bloodiest pitched battle of the Second Seminole War at Lake Okeechobee. As he wrote from Fort Gardiner on the Kissimmee River, the army was preparing to extend its campaign even further inland.
"As To The People": Thomas And Laura Randall's Observations On Life And Labor In Early Middle Florida, William Warren Rogers, Jr.
"As To The People": Thomas And Laura Randall's Observations On Life And Labor In Early Middle Florida, William Warren Rogers, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
Moving from Baltimore to the wilds of Florida in 1827 held for Thomas and Laura Wirt Randall both promise and uncertainty. He had practiced law in Maryland and would preside as a superior court judge in Florida. Laura, the daughter of United States Attorney General William Wirt, came from a similarly cloistered background and was ill-prepared for life on the frontier. The recently married couple settled in Jefferson County, in the heart of Middle Florida, a region bounded on the east and west by the Suwanee and Appalachicola rivers and containing some of the South’s more fertile soil.1 It was …
Review Essay--Hope Among The Ruins: The Percy Family And The Southern Imagination, John Mayfield
Review Essay--Hope Among The Ruins: The Percy Family And The Southern Imagination, John Mayfield
Florida Historical Quarterly
In 1777 there drifted into British West Florida one Charles Percy, late of His Majesty’s army and an ambitious man. Born of dubious lineage in England or perhaps Ireland but claiming kin with the Northumberland Percys (“Harry Hotspur” of Shakespeare’s histories) Charles Percy had acquired a few hundred acres as bounty for his military service, and he used that, his hard work, and his family tree to settle in as a planter. He married, acquired yet more land, sided with the Loyalists, and became an alcalde, a magistrate, when the Spanish took over in 1781. Thus did Charles Percy become …
Addison Mizner: Promoter In Paradise, Raymond B. Vickers
Addison Mizner: Promoter In Paradise, Raymond B. Vickers
Florida Historical Quarterly
California's gold rush of 1849 and the Klondike gold rush of 1898 pale when compared to the Florida land rush of 1925. As tales of quick profits captured the attention of the nation, the boom in paradise became the greatest speculative frenzy in history. 1 Florida’s climate, new roads, and low taxes had appeal, but the chance of easy money fueled the hysteria. Real estate promoters littered the state with “the joyful and confident devastation of development.” Anything could happen as subdivisions rose from snake-infested mangrove swamps. Not since the days of the carpetbaggers had so many opportunists and swindlers …
Raising Cane And Refining Sugar: Florida Crystals And The Fame Of Fellsmere, Gordon Patterson
Raising Cane And Refining Sugar: Florida Crystals And The Fame Of Fellsmere, Gordon Patterson
Florida Historical Quarterly
On Friday, November 13, 1931, the Vero Beach Press-Journal reported that “the possibilities of commercial sugar cane production are to be thoroughly tested by the Ammoniate Products Corporation, owners of large acreage within the Fellsmere Drainage District.“1 Four days later the editorial writer for the Fort Pierce News-Tribune declared that the reports of positive economic development in Indian River County were based on more than “synthetic enthusiasm.” Real progress was taking place. Frank W. Heiser, general manager of the soon-to-be-defunct Ammoniate Products Corporation acknowledged that he planned to clear 1,000 acres of muck land “for the planting of sugar cane.“2 …
