William Pope Duval: An Extraordinary Folklorist, Frank L. Snyder
William Pope Duval: An Extraordinary Folklorist, Frank L. Snyder
Florida Historical Quarterly
William Pope Duval, who served four terms as territorial governor of Florida, was a natural storyteller.1 His tales were crafted and fabricated with so much skill that his listeners believed every word as the absolute truth. DuVal never hesitated to shade the truth or to embellish his stories so that they became fictionalized accounts bordering on the fringes of reality. He wove a web of drama as he spoke and completely captured the attention of his audience. The stations in life they, the members of his audience, occupied did not matter— raw frontiersmen, uneducated workingmen, intellectuals, literary geniuses, or sophisticated …
Apalachicola Aweigh: Shipping And Seamen At Florida's Premier Cotton Port, Lynn Willoughby
Apalachicola Aweigh: Shipping And Seamen At Florida's Premier Cotton Port, Lynn Willoughby
Florida Historical Quarterly
Apalachicola in the 1840s was Florida’s busiest port. It also was a town that cotton built. To its north lay the Apalachicola, Chipola, Flint, and Chattahoochee rivers which together comprised the longest riverine system east of the Mississippi. Along those waterways lay thousands of cotton fields, and from as far away as Columbus, Georgia, planters dispatched their crops in steamers and pole boats to the Gulf of Mexico by way of Apalachicola.

"Tell Them I Died Like A Confederate Soldier": Finegan's Florida Brigade At Cold Harbor, Zack C. Waters
Florida Historical Quarterly
General Robert E. Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia, by the middle of May 1864, was in serious trouble. The army still was a dangerous and effective fighting force, but major problems were beginning to surface. Casualties and command failures had crippled the officer corps, and three years of hard fighting had slowly sapped the strength of the southern army. Now it was facing an opponent in Lieutenant General Ulysses S. Grant who would neither retreat following defeat, nor give them the time necessary to recuperate. To solve his manpower problems, Lee’s only choice was to find replacement troops. That meant …
Men Without God Or King: Rural Settlers Of East Florida, 1784-1790, Susan R. Parker
Men Without God Or King: Rural Settlers Of East Florida, 1784-1790, Susan R. Parker
Florida Historical Quarterly
In 1784 Spanish colonists returned to the Florida peninsula after a twenty-year hiatus of British rule. In St. Augustine troops from Cuba walked the streets talking in Spanish, former émigré residents or their relatives moved in to reclaim old homes, and mass was sung again in the parish church. Out in the countryside the settlers debated in English what their fate might be under the new regime. The few Spanish that they saw were the military detachments assigned to the frontier posts or the sailors bringing supplies.

Care And Control Of The Feebleminded: Florida Farm Colony, 1920-1945, Steven Noll
Care And Control Of The Feebleminded: Florida Farm Colony, 1920-1945, Steven Noll
Florida Historical Quarterly
Hastings Hart, director of the Child Helping Department of the Russell Sage Foundation, reported in January 1918 that Florida’s “most acute and pressing social problem at the present time is the problem of the feeble-minded.” Hart, who prepared a social welfare plan for Florida at the request of Governor Sidney J. Catts, recommended that “Florida ought to make immediate institutional provision for at least 500 of this class [the feeble-minded], following the good examples which have been recently set by the states of Virginia and North Carolina.“1 A year later, on April 17, 1919, the state legislature followed this request …
On The Edge: Blacks And Hispanics In Metropolitan Miami Since 1959, Raymond A. Mohl
On The Edge: Blacks And Hispanics In Metropolitan Miami Since 1959, Raymond A. Mohl
Florida Historical Quarterly
On Monday, January 16, 1989, hundreds of blacks in Miami took to the streets in angry rage for the fourth time in the 1980s. Over several days, they burned cars and buildings, looted stores, pelted passers-by with rocks and bottles, and faced off with riot police in Overtown and Liberty City, Miami’s two major black communities. The incident that touched off this new expression of black anger was sadly familiar. A Miami policeman had shot and killed a black man fleeing a traffic infraction on a motorcycle, while a second black man, a passenger on the motorcycle, was thrown from …

"Where Are Now The Hopes I Cherished?" The Life And Times Of Robert Meacham, Canter Brown, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
"Although this convention is the stormiest we have ever attended, and from its dissentions we judge the [Republican] party is badly split. If the Democrats and Conservatives of Florida don’t take such advantage of it as will insure them success, then we say they deserve ‘to be bound hand and foot,’ and ever be under the heel and ground to powder by their former slaves. Such a mess of ‘rag, tag, and bobtail’ buncomb and bombast, ignorance and corruption we have never seen. It is a disgrace to the civilization of the age.“

A West Point Graduate In The Second Seminole War: William Warren Chapman And The View From Fort Foster, Edward C. Coker
A West Point Graduate In The Second Seminole War: William Warren Chapman And The View From Fort Foster, Edward C. Coker
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the fall of 1837, Second Lieutenant William Warren Chapman departed from Old Point Comfort, Virginia, bound for Florida on the Caladonia Brander. An 1837 graduate of West Point, he was en route to the Second Seminole War in Florida. After arriving at Fort Brooke in Tampa Bay on October 27, 1837, he was assigned to Company B, Second Artillery which had orders to regarrison Fort Foster. Located twenty-one miles north of Tampa Bay on the military road from Fort Brooke to Fort King, Fort Foster protected the bridge over the Hillsborough River and served as a supply depot for …
The Read-Alston Duel And Politics In Territorial Florida, James M. Denham
The Read-Alston Duel And Politics In Territorial Florida, James M. Denham
Florida Historical Quarterly
The December 27, 1839, issue of the St. Augustine News reported that on December 12 a “duel as fought . . . on the Georgia line between Leigh Read and Augustus Alston of Tallahassee. Weapons, rifles; distance, fifteen paces; finale, Alston killed.“ As was typical editorial policy in the reporting of such affairs, no commentary was offered. But the editor might have added that Alston, a Whig, and Read, a Democrat, each led their political parties in a time when a man’s honor and bravery were proven by action as well as words. Neither could, nor wished, to evade the …

Cramer V. Kirk: The Florida Republican Schism Of 1970, Billy B. Hathorn
Florida Historical Quarterly
Having languished for nearly a century as a nominal political entity, Florida Republicans seemed poised by 1970 to establish parity, if not supplant, the Democrats as the Sunshine State’s majority party. The groundwork for such a metamorphosis had been laid when Eisenhower and Nixon won Florida in four of the five presidential elections between 1952 and 1968. William Cato “Bill” Cramer was elected in 1954 as the state’s first twentieth-century Republican Congressman, and Claude Roy Kirk, Jr., seized the governorship twelve years later amid the internecine bickering of Democratic factions. Moreover, Edward J. Gurney’s 1968 United States Senate victory was …

Charles Townshend And Plans For British East Florida, Donna T. Mccaffrey
Charles Townshend And Plans For British East Florida, Donna T. Mccaffrey
Florida Historical Quarterly
Almost every historical account of the background of the American Revolution necessarily brings in the career of Charles Townshend.1 He introduced and guided through Parliament in 1767 the Townshend program of taxation for America. In so doing, Townshend reopened the dispute between the colonies and the mother country that had been moderated in the previous year by the repeal of the Stamp Act. For some years Townshend had been deeply concerned about colonial matters and was regarded as the expert on American affairs. 2 As a member of the Board of Trade, he had studied colonial problems. At the request …
Apalachicola In 1838-1840: Letters From A Young Cotton Warehouse Clerk, Niles Schuh
Apalachicola In 1838-1840: Letters From A Young Cotton Warehouse Clerk, Niles Schuh
Florida Historical Quarterly
John Chrystie wrote long, interesting letters from Apalachicola to the folks back home in New York. In a series of nine letters, written during the 1838-1839 and 1839-1840 business seasons, he described life in that busy cotton port. He wrote to his brother, Tom; to his brother’s wife, Sis; and especially to his close friend, probably a cousin, Albert, about life in a young, fast-growing, frontier town in the territory of Florida. Business, social, and civic life were all of interest to the impressionable young man, and he had very definite ideas and opinions about most of what was going …
Billy Bowlegs, Sam Jones, And The Crisis Of 1849, James W. Covington
Billy Bowlegs, Sam Jones, And The Crisis Of 1849, James W. Covington
Florida Historical Quarterly
One of the most unusual events that took place during the removal of some 4,000 Indians and blacks from Florida to Indian Territory during the 1836-1859 period, occurred during the so-called Outbreak of 1849 when the Seminoles delivered three alleged murderers to the whites for trial and possible execution. This outbreak blazed forth in July 1849 when a group of young Seminoles went on a rampage along both coasts of Florida. In the first attack, the Seminoles killed one man and vandalized a small settlement along the Indian River. Then they crossed the peninsula, killed two other persons, and burned …
"Whitewash" In Florida: The Lynching Of Jesse James Payne And Its Aftermath, Jack E. Davis
"Whitewash" In Florida: The Lynching Of Jesse James Payne And Its Aftermath, Jack E. Davis
Florida Historical Quarterly
On an October morning in 1945, the body of a black man was found lying on the side of a graded road in rural Madison County, Florida. Jesse James Payne, a struggling young sharecropper with a wife and child, had been unceremoniously lynched the night before. This was not an unusual occurrence in a state that by 1920 had the nation’s highest lynching rate relative to its population. But with Payne’s death coming at the close of World War II, when such crimes were all but nonexistent, Florida was again distinguished by being host to the only recorded lynching of …
