Larry Eugene River's "Slavery In Florida": A Review Essay, James Oakes

Florida Historical Quarterly

Serious scholarly invetigation of slavery in Florida began with the 1973 publication of Julia Floyd Smith's Slavery and Plantation Growth in Antebellum Florida, 1821-1860. In her own way Smith was a pioneer. She was the first to lay out the basic contours of slavery's history in Florida, and she grounded her narrative on extensive use of archival records, census data, traveler's accounts, legislation, and even slave narratives. Her focus was restricted to the American slaveholders who poured into middle Florida after 1821 and who thereafter extended the southern frontier of the cotton belt. She framed her book within the literature …

Jacksonville's Consolidation Mayor: Hans G. Tanzler Jr., James B. Crooks

Florida Historical Quarterly

Jacksonville's consolidation with Duval County on October 1, 1968, marked a major turning point in the history of this northeastern Florida coastal city. Prior to this event, Jacksonville and the surrounding Duval County struggled with a variety of problems. Despite rapid growth in the metro area, the city lost population, endured racial conflict, and suffered substantial environmental pollution. While other Southern cities faced many of the same problems, the glamour that soon shone upon the Sunbelt seemed to elude this city on the St. Johns River. Partly it was comparative. Other Florida cities-Miami, Tampa-St. Petersburg and Orlando-had begun to achieve …

Plumb Lines, Politics, And Projections: The Florida Everglades And The Wright Report Controversy, Aaron D. Purcell

Florida Historical Quarterly

The drainage of the Florida Everglades haw been a highly debated issue since the mid-nineteenth century. In the 1840s, the United State Congress and the state of Florida passed legislation that encouraged reclamation.1 Nothing came from that effort, but during the next decade Congress began transferring Everglades land to the state of Florida, stipulating that all earnings made from the lands be reinvested in their reclamation.2 To manage the development of these lands, in 1855, the state created an Internal Improvement Fund and appointed trustees who oversaw projects that the Sunshine State hoped would attract people, capital, and agricultural developers. …

Historic Notes And Documents: The Spanish Dedication Tablets From San Marcos De Apalache, Ryan J. Wheeler

Florida Historical Quarterly

Several scholars have offered information and opinions on the date of construction of the Spanish stone fort and stone watchtower at San Marcos de Apalache.1 Two Spanish dedication tablets from the fort, presently in the collection of the Henry Morrison Flagler Museum, Palm Bach, have been cited in these attempts at temporal assignment, but there has been no scholarly attempt to doument the tablets or translate inscriptions on them.2 This essay presents information on the tablets, a transcription of the engraved tablet, comparison with similar architectural features, and some thoughts on the dating of the tablets and their bearing on …

Florida Historical Quarterly

Late in life, Marjory Stoneman Douglas earned a reputation a an impassioned and outspoken environmentalist. Her antiquity, warrior-like spirit, and signature wide-brim hats made her a darling of the media. From Ms. and Rolling Stone magazines to the smallest village newspapers of Florida, journalists called her "Our Lady of the Glades," "Grand Dame of the Everglades," "Guardian of the Glades," "Guardian of the Glades' Spirit," "First Lady of the Everglades," "Empress of the Everglades," "Champion of Everglades," and "Everglades Evangelist." She received countless honorary degrees, medals, and awards. At age 102, she was Honorary Chair of the Conference on the …

Religion On Florida Territorial Frontiers, Ernest F. Dibble

Florida Historical Quarterly

In reviewing works on Florida territorial history, well-known scholar Herbert J. Doherty Jr. noted in 1958 that many individual church histories had been written but most were "not good history." Even though he later conceded that Catholic and some Protestant denominations were "adequately treated" in denominational history survey, a true religious history-one that synthesizes church histories- remain unavailable. The role of religion on Florida's territorial frontiers is largely hidden from history.

Fort Denaud: Logistics Hub Of The Third Seminole War, Jay Jennings

Florida Historical Quarterly

One of the least known and seldom chronicled military events in American history in the three-year conflict known as the Third Seminole War. Also labeled the Billy Bowlegs War, this final uprising of the Seminole tribe occurred in South Florida between 1855 and 1858. Few of the military outposts established during the war remain; the enduring legacy of most is a roadside marker or street sign. Thirty miles east of Fort Myers-one of the placenames that lives on-is a small swing-span bridge memorializing Fort Denaud, beside which is a plaque marking the spot of a forgotten military installation that played …

Interwar Weimar Film And Masculinity: Challenging The Presumed Crisis Of Interwar German Gender Discourse From Selected Films From 1925-1931, Brandon Metcalf

Dissertations and Theses

The First World War altered the view of masculinity held by many in Germany and shredded what many regarded as unchangeable fixtures of German life. For German men, much of the interwar period meant dealing with the losses from the war, reconfiguring what it meant to be a man. This reconfiguration of gender took place in a context of change in Germany. Many women entered the workforce to replace the lost men. The economic downturn and reliance on funding from the United States motivated many within Germany to examine gender roles and to reassemble masculinity to meet changing circumstances.

Extended Reality And The Graphic Design Curriculum, Tina Korani, Meghan Saas, Samantha Tan

Frameless

VXR technology has seen significant growth in recent years across all commercial industries and is poised to continue that trend. The graphic design industry is embracing XR as a new medium, and XR skills are in high demand within the field. Institutions of higher education must adopt XR—and particularly AR—into the graphic design curriculum to keep pace with the industry. Several barriers are slowing this curricular adoption but can be overcome. Advances in AR technology have created an opportunity for its use as both a pedagogical tool and a creative medium. Integrating AR with traditional graphic design elements and principles …

Revising Humbead’S Revised Map Of The World: Taking A Virtual Folk Music World Into Virtual Reality, Michael Kramer

Frameless

Humbead’s Revised Map of the World reimagines the globe from the perspective of the West Coast folk scene and merging hippie counterculture. First printed in 1968, with subsequent iterations produced in 1969 and 1970, it was created by Rick Shubb and Earl Crabb, two Bay Area folk music aficionados. Like Saul Steinberg’s famous New Yorker magazine cover View of the World from 9th Avenue, published in 1976, Humbead’s is meant to be a funny artifact that cartographically distorts Euclidean space and Mercator projection in order to suggest a more accurate “mattering map.” It presents a folk pangea in which centers …

Reimagining History Dataset 3.0, Michelle R. Warren, Neil Weijer

Other Faculty Materials

The Middle English prose Brut chronicle survives in nearly two hundred manuscripts. This corpus has been the subject of extensive study for more than a hundred years. The most recent research, however, has turned out to be the most fragile. In 2017, the multiyear digital humanities project “Imaging History: Perspectives on Late Medieval Vernacular Historiography” disappeared from the live Internet, only a decade after its publication. Shortly afterwards, we began a project called "Re-Imagining History"--to create a new dataset of information about the Brut manuscript corpus and learn how digital infrastructure might shape the production and preservation of historical data. …

How The Men Of “A Strange Loop” Break Heteronormative Bias’S To Expose The Struggles Of A Queer Black Man, Ryann Crawford

Symposium of Student Scholars

This paper examines the struggles black queer men of A Strange Loop have in a community of people driven by heteronormativity. A Strange Loop is a musical produced in 2019 by Michael R. Jackson. Since the creation of our country, we have been led by disguised Puritan beliefs and Christian standards that did their best-in the 16^th century- to remove any push back of the heteronormativity that they were setting in place. Despite this being centuries ago, the heteronormativity pushed out then are still being seen today. Because of this, being Queer today is considered the minority, wrong by …

Privilege, Power, And Patronage: Examining The Lives And Afterlives Of Three Tudor Noblewomen, Caroline Elizabeth Armbruster

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

This dissertation uses the lives of Catherine Willoughby, Duchess of Suffolk; Anne Stanhope, Duchess of Somerset; and Jane Guildford, Duchess of Northumberland to examine various aspects of their experiences as noblewomen and as members of privileged family groups. By focusing on these three women, whose lives and careers spanned eight decades, this dissertation demonstrates the centrality of such women to Tudor politics. Catherine, Anne, and Jane were born into powerful, landowning families. Their successful marriages allowed them to climb the ranks of the Tudor aristocracy and paved the way for their entry into the Tudor political arena. They served as …
