Juan Baptista De Segura And The Failure Of The Florida Jesuit Mission, 1566-1572, Frank Marotti, Jr.
Juan Baptista De Segura And The Failure Of The Florida Jesuit Mission, 1566-1572, Frank Marotti, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
Eugene Lyon in The Enterprise of Florida states that it is important not to ignore the “private side” of the Spanish conquest of the New World. Despite Lyon’s admonition, the personal aspect of the attempted spiritual conquest of La Florida by the Society of Jesus between 1566 and 1572, particularly its relation to the failure of the apostolic enterprise, remains somewhat neglected. The central hypothesis of this study is that the human frailties of Juan Baptista de Segura, the superior of the Jesuit undertaking, played a major role in an evangelical disaster. Segura, a fascinating idealist, after experiencing frustrating failures …

Cracker-Spanish Florida Style, James A. Lewis
Cracker-Spanish Florida Style, James A. Lewis
Florida Historical Quarterly
Over the years the regional diversity of the United States has coined scores of colorful words to describe groups of people perceived to have something in common. On occasion, these words, often pejorative in connotation, have worked their way into other languages, a classic example being the term Yankee. One of the more expressive regional terms to find its way into a foreign language has been the word cracker, defined in the Oxford English Dictionary as a “contemptuous name in [the] Southern States of N. America [applied] to the ‘poor whites’: Whence familiarly, to the native whites of Georgia and …
Plantation Development In British East Florida: A Case Study Of The Earl Of Egmont, Daniel L. Schafer
Plantation Development In British East Florida: A Case Study Of The Earl Of Egmont, Daniel L. Schafer
Florida Historical Quarterly
Over dinners at their country estates and at the stylish Shakespeare Head tavern in London, British aristocrats talked excitedly in 1763 about the prospects of acquiring huge tracts of land in East Florida, a recent prize of the Seven Years War. “We are all East Florida mad,” one potential investor said, describing a “land fever” that prompted his kinsman to abandon prudent caution so as “not to miss a vast future prospect.“ Another aristocrat described the activities of his friends as “a little confused, . . . but you can make allowance for gentlemen settling a Colony over a Bottle …
Military Duty In Antebellum Florida: The Experiences Of John Henry Winder, Arch Fredric Blakey
Military Duty In Antebellum Florida: The Experiences Of John Henry Winder, Arch Fredric Blakey
Florida Historical Quarterly
Two Catholic priests escorted and partially carried a dying man to the gallows at the Old Capital Prison in Washington, D.C. The condemned man was Heinrich Hartmann Wirz. Branded by his executioners as the “beast of Andersonville prison,” he was hanged on November 10, 1865. He had been found guilty of conspiring to murder Union prisoners and was executed as a war criminal, the only such casualty of the Civil War.
Francis's Metallic Lifeboats And The Third Seminole War, George E. Buker
Francis's Metallic Lifeboats And The Third Seminole War, George E. Buker
Florida Historical Quarterly
Because Joseph Francis was a good, persistent salesman and General Thomas S. Jesup was knowledgeable about Florida and its Seminole Indians, the United States Army became interested in metallic lifeboats. By December 20, 1855, when Chief Billy Bowlegs’s warriors attacked Lieutenant George Hartsuff’s men in the Big Cypress Swamp, some of Francis’s metallic lifeboats already were in Florida waters. Thus, during the Third Seminole War, the army, for the first time, used metal boats in combat operations.

General Joseph B. Wall And Lynch Law In Tampa, Robert P. Ingalls
General Joseph B. Wall And Lynch Law In Tampa, Robert P. Ingalls
Florida Historical Quarterly
On Monday morning, March 6, 1882, the news spread quickly through Tampa, a normally sleepy community of some 1,000 people. During the previous night a man had broken into the home of a prominent family living just outside town. After stealing several small items, the intruder had assaulted a young woman of the family. According to subsequent press reports, the attacker had fled before actually raping the victim, but clues to his identity, including a knife left at the scene, put Sheriff D. Isaac Craft and a posse on his trail the following morning. With Tampans gripped by feelings of …
Florida's Cattle-Ranching Frontier: Hillsborough County (1860), John Solomon Otto
Florida's Cattle-Ranching Frontier: Hillsborough County (1860), John Solomon Otto
Florida Historical Quarterly
In 1860, the southern edge of settlement— which delimited the “settled” areas with more than two persons per square mile from the “frontier” areas with fewer than two inhabitants per square mile— stood in central Florida. With the exception of a settled enclave about eastern Tampa Bay, the southern half of the Florida peninsula was a true frontier. It was the largest remaining frontier east of the Mississippi River. By 1860, the bulk of the south Florida frontier fell within the boundaries of five counties— Hillsborough, Manatee, Monroe, Brevard, and Dade whose total population was only 7,077.
Miami's Metropolitan Government: Retrospect And Prospect, Raymond A. Mohl
Miami's Metropolitan Government: Retrospect And Prospect, Raymond A. Mohl
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the past several years, the Miami metropolitan area has experienced fast-paced, almost frantic, urban change. The Liberty City and Overtown race riots of 1980 and 1982, Haitian-Cuban refugee problems, high rates of violent crime and murder, and a lucrative drug smuggling trade have all kept Miami in the national news. A new and dynamic urban economy based on international banking, foreign investment, and a prosperous Latin American-Caribbean trade has insulated Miami from the national economic recession. Indeed, during the past decade, Miami has been transformed into the trade and cultural capital of the Caribbean basin. New skyscraper construction in …

"Laying The Sins Of The L & N At Mr. Blount's Feet": William Alexander Blount's U. S. Senatorial Campaign, 1910-1911, George F. Pearce
Florida Historical Quarterly
William Alexander Blount achieved many milestones during his illustrious career as an attorney in Pensacola, Florida. He began practicing law soon after receiving his degree from the University of Georgia in 1873. His exceptional legal mind, strong dedication to his work, and impeccable character soon won him a statewide reputation in the legal profession and attracted a large clientele. Among his corporate retainers was the Louisville and Nashville Railroad (L&N). In 1909, after thirty-five years of practicing law, Blount opted for a chance at a political career and announced himself as a Democratic candidate for the United States Senate. In …

North Florida And The Great Storm Of 1873, Mary Louise Ellis
North Florida And The Great Storm Of 1873, Mary Louise Ellis
Florida Historical Quarterly
The autumn of 1873 seemed full of promise for the people of north and central Florida. Luck and the weather, two critical elements of life for an area dependent on farming, were favorable so far. The cotton bolls were ripening on schedule, and high yields were predicted. Farmers paid close attention to the weather, and hoped that the frequent thunder showers would not threaten their prospects of making a good crop. As the summer faded, first luck, then the weather, changed— and the changes dealt a ruinous blow to an agricultural region still mired in the hard times of Reconstruction.
From Orange To Green "Gold": The Roots Of The Asparagus Fern Industry In Florida, Robert D. Manning
From Orange To Green "Gold": The Roots Of The Asparagus Fern Industry In Florida, Robert D. Manning
Florida Historical Quarterly
Central Florida was a sparsely settled frontier at the end of Reconstruction. In the 1870s and 1880s, however, an influx of pioneers transformed this wilderness into a loose network of settlements. These early communities were linked by the steamships that navigated the St. Johns and Oklawaha rivers down through the chain-of-lakes— Lake Griffin, Haines Creek, Lake Eustis, Dead River, and Lake Harris.1 This river freight route, which ran from Jacksonville to Yalaha, soon became obsolete with the expansion of the railroad in the 1870s; regional development was no longer restricted by geographic proximity to navigable bodies of water. The increasing …

Changing Face Of Jacksonville, Florida: 1900-1910, James B. Crooks
Florida Historical Quarterly
Compelled by a devastating fire, May 3, 1901, that laid waste to most of downtown, Jacksonville not only rebuilt, but changed notably in other ways during the first decade of the twentieth century. Its population more than doubled. New or expanding suburbs, skyscrapers, hotels, theaters, automobiles, streetcar lines, parks, and city services reflected urban development. Substantial economic growth took place in banking, trade, and transportation. Public and private efforts to provide health, education, and human services increased. In addition, the community’s popular culture became more diversified.
The Chicora Legend And Franco-Spanish Rivalry In La Florida, Paul E. Hoffman
The Chicora Legend And Franco-Spanish Rivalry In La Florida, Paul E. Hoffman
Florida Historical Quarterly
With the first light of Monday, June 24, 1521, Pedro de Quexo and Francisco Gordillo discovered a new land which they named the Land of St. John the Baptist in honor of the saint whose feast day it was. Entering a river, later called the Jordan for the same reason, they established contact with a village or native group called “Chicora.“ Thus began the Chicora Legend, a legend that ultimately described the land of Chicora as a new Andalusia, a land abounding in timber, vines, native olive trees, Indians, pearls, and, at a distance inland, perhaps gold and silver. Flowing …

Remembering the Days
For much of the first half of the 19th century, students at South Carolina College were not pleased with the quality of food served on campus. In 1852, the wormy biscuits and rancid meat were too much to stomach, so the students issued an ultimatum — that ultimately gave them a case of indigestion.
