When Modern Tourism Was Born: Florida At The World Fairs And On The World Stage In The 1930s, David Nelson
When Modern Tourism Was Born: Florida At The World Fairs And On The World Stage In The 1930s, David Nelson
Florida Historical Quarterly
More than any other moment in Florida's history, the debut of the state's exhibit at Chicago's Century of Progress world's fair in 1933 marked the beginning of modern Florida tourism. From this point until the end of the 20th century and beyond, Florida promoted and depended upon tourism more than upon any other industry. This proved to be the moment Florida ceased to be southern in the popular mind and assumed the image of a racially-and regionally-neutral land of sunshine, fun, and endless opportunity. It was at Chicago in 1933 that Florida became genuinely and definitively exotic and tropic in …

The Jacksonville Mutiny Of 1865, John F. Fannin
The Jacksonville Mutiny Of 1865, John F. Fannin
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the fall of 1865, white officers of the 3rd Regiment, United States Colored Troops (3rd USCT) hung a black enlisted man by his thumbs on the Jacksonville parade ground-a misdemeanor-level punishment-for stealing a jar of molasses from the field kitchen. Black soldiers gathered around the officers standing in front of the dangling prisoner and loudly objected to the thumb-hanging. The protest quickly turned into a melee in which enlisted soldiers and officers exchanged gunfire and grappled hand-to-hand. Subsequently, six soldiers would be tried for mutiny and executed. Another seven received lengthy prison sentences and one was released without penalty. …
Looks Like Acquittal: Sex, Murder, And The Tampa Morning Tribune, 1895, J. Thomas Perry
Looks Like Acquittal: Sex, Murder, And The Tampa Morning Tribune, 1895, J. Thomas Perry
Florida Historical Quarterly
On the morning of August 22, 1894, W.M. Hendley fished alone on a St. Petersburg, Florida dock. Sela P. Harrison approached the man from behind wielding a double-barreled shotgun, one barrel loaded with buck-shot and the other with slugs cut from a metal bar. Hendley was unaware of his assailant and no words were exchanged. Within ten feet of the victim, Sela fired both barrels striking Hendley in the torso and taking off the right side of his head. Sela remained calm. He did not attempt to flee the scene or dispose of the gun, rather, he walked slowly up …
Wetlands And Wildlife: Martin Johnson Heade In Florida, Charlotte M. Porter
Wetlands And Wildlife: Martin Johnson Heade In Florida, Charlotte M. Porter
Florida Historical Quarterly
During the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century, Florida drew the attention of a number of literary figures, naturalists and landscape artists who were vocal in the national conservation movement.1 Often traveling as observers for developers and entrepreneurs, they documented landscapes in words and paintings that now constitute a national treasure. In 1867, Charles Beecher, brother of novelist Harriet Beecher Stowe arrived at the mouth of the St. Johns River. "The river stretched away so boundlessly," he wrote that "it seemed rather [like] a great sea or lake."2 Impressed by the expansive beauty, Beecher described his gateway as a …

The Seminole Controversy Revisited: A New Look At Andrew Jackson's 1818 Florida Campaign, Daniel Feller
Florida Historical Quarterly
Americans began their experiment in self-government with the notion that republics naturally love peace and monarchies naturally love war. As Thomas Paine explained in Common Sense, wars began when "crowned ruffians" attacked their neighbors-or their own subjects-in pursuit of personal wealth, power, or glory. "In the early ages of the world, according to the scripture chronology, there were no kings; the consequence of which was there were no wars; it is the pride of kings which throw mankind into confusion." Since the people at large were naturally peace-loving, republics would fight only in self-defense. Not by coincidence, said Paine, had …

Florida Classroom: Tea Sets, Tractors, T-1 Lines: The Survival Of A Small Town Library: The Hastings, Branch Library, Hastings, Florida, Nancy J. Levine
Florida Historical Quarterly
Hastings, Florida, can rightly be called "a wide place in the road." Three miles square, with a population of 687,1 Hastings is the potato capital of Florida, according to its welcome sign. But the town's small size seems to have given it long-lasting feelings of inferiority. Townspeople describe Hastings as "the stepchild of the county." Writing in 1993 to the editorial page of the daily newspaper, the St. Augustine Record, Hastings citizen Bill Parish complained that "[t]he one thing that administrators in St. Johns County like about our area is that beautiful shade of green of our money."
A Re-Assessment Of Seminoles, Africans, And Slavery On The Florida Frontier, Kevin Kokomoor
A Re-Assessment Of Seminoles, Africans, And Slavery On The Florida Frontier, Kevin Kokomoor
Florida Historical Quarterly
Recently, the focus on slavery within native societies has benfited from a great deal of scholarly attention, and several influential volumes have examined slavery as it existed within a number of southern tribes, including Cherokees, Chickasaws and Choctaws, Creeks, and particularly Seminoles.1 In other studies, historians have focused on the phenomenon of "marronage," experiences that "can be seen to hold a special significance for the study of slave societies."2 Eugene Genovese, for instance, suggested that some Indian communities were "utterly transformed by the entrance of large numbers of blacks," a phenomenon that although not widespread, resonated deeply in the Florida …
Inventing The Conch Republic: The Creation Of Key West As An Escape From Modern America, William C. Barnett
Inventing The Conch Republic: The Creation Of Key West As An Escape From Modern America, William C. Barnett
Florida Historical Quarterly
Key West has been a popular tourist destination for over seventy years, and visitors are struck by its distinctive sense of lace and by its sense of a lingering past. Various slogans call attention to its remote island location-100 miles south of mainland Florida, but only 90 miles north of Cuba-and emphasize its geographic and cultural separation from modern America. Tourism boosters call it "America's Southernmost City," "Margaritaville," "The Last Resort," and "the Conch Republic," and each label promises a place apart from the rest of the nation. The constant use of the words "escape" and "getaway" in tourism ads …

The Florida Fight For Equality: The Equal Rights Amendment, Senator Lori Wilson And Mediated Catfights In The 1970s, Kimberly Wilmot Voss
Florida Historical Quarterly
In 1977, the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) required ratification by three more states before it could be added to the U.S. Constitution. Florida was considered a battleground state and as the vote deadline loomed, pro- and anti- forces held marches and protests while celebrities and politicians visited the state to rally each side. In the midst of the heavy media coverage stood Florida Senator Lori Wilson-one of the few women in the legislature and a sponsor of the ERA. This study examines the fight leading up to that 1977 Florida defeat of the measure by looking at the media's coverage …

Entangled Borderlands: The 1794 Projected French Invasion Of Spanish East Florida And Atlantic History, Robert J. Alderson, Jr.
Entangled Borderlands: The 1794 Projected French Invasion Of Spanish East Florida And Atlantic History, Robert J. Alderson, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
In 1793-1794 a motley group of South Carolina and Georgia backcountrymen entered into a conspiracy with French revolutionaries to invade Spanish territories in Louisiana and Florida. Although the plot eventually collapsed under pressure from the French and American governments, support for the expedition and resistance to the planned invasion provide a revealing chapter in the history of the southern backcountry and the Atlantic world. The confluence of multi-national, multi-racial constituencies in the heat of revolutionary fervor is ripe for re-evaluation. The most recent examination of the plot was conducted by Michael Morris, who placed the planned invasion of East Florida …
1892-A Year Of Crucial Decisions In Florida, Jesus Mendez
1892-A Year Of Crucial Decisions In Florida, Jesus Mendez
Florida Historical Quarterly
The figure of Henry Morrison Flagler towers her other men and women in modem Florida history. No individual-except, perhaps, his contemporary and fellow railroad man Henry Bradley Plant-can lay claim to his business acumen, daring, and romantic vision in fomenting Florida's growth and rising preeminence in the southeast United States. From dead last among the traditional southern states in 1900 in terms of population and manufacturing activity, Florida today ranks fourth among all states in the American Union as far as population and, in 2006, boasted of having one of its strongest economies.1 In addition, Florida today is, arguably, the …
The Strange Tale Of Wesley And Florence Garrison: Racial Crosscurrents Of The Postwar Florida Republican Party, Michael D. Bowen
The Strange Tale Of Wesley And Florence Garrison: Racial Crosscurrents Of The Postwar Florida Republican Party, Michael D. Bowen
Florida Historical Quarterly
For the first two thirds of the 20th Century, the Republican Party of Florida had a well-deserved reputation for being quiet, weak, and ineffectual. The Democratic Party dominated electoral politics so completely that some counties in the panhandle and north central Florida prided themselves on having no registered Republicans. Yet at the 1952 state Republican convention, held in the sleepy college town of Gainesville, the participants acted as if their meeting mattered. A group of upstarts led by Miami real estate developers Wesley and Florence Garrison, a couple some regarded as reformers and some regarded as rabblerousers, commandeered the front …

Tampa's 1910 Lynching: The Italian-American Perspective And Its Implications, Stefano Luconi
Florida Historical Quarterly
On 20 September 1910, law enforcement officers in Tampa arrested two Sicilian immigrants, Angelo Albano and Castenge (alias Castenzio and Costanzo) Ficarotta. They were charged with complicity in what ultimately turned out to be the fatal shooting of J. Frank Esterling, an accountant for the Bustillo Brothers and Diaz Cigar Company, a large cigar manufacture that employed some 600 workers in West Tampa. While Albano and Ficarotta were being taken to the county jail, at a time when Esterling was still alive though hospitalized in critical condition, a crowd of twenty-five to thirty people stopped the horsedrawn hack by which …

Gatorland: Survival Of The Fittest Among Florida's Mid-Tier Tourist Attractions, Dorothy Mays
Gatorland: Survival Of The Fittest Among Florida's Mid-Tier Tourist Attractions, Dorothy Mays
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the early decades of the 20th century the majority of tourists coming to Florida were well-heeled members of America's elite classes seeking to escape the brutal northern winters. The deplorable condition of Florida's road system meant that long-distance travel was practical only via railroad. The interior of Florida remained largely unaffected by tourism as the railroads bypassed most of the state and funneled tourists directly to opulent resorts in the coastal cities of St. Augustine, Miami, and Tampa. All this would change in the years following World War II, when ownership of an automobile had become commonplace and the …
Baseball In Key West And Havana, 1885-1910, Gerald E. Poyo
Baseball In Key West And Havana, 1885-1910, Gerald E. Poyo
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the midst of the political agitation and heightened nationalist fervor provoked by Fidel Castro's rise to power in Cuba, aged Francisco Andres Poyo, known by his family and friends as Pancho, in early 1961 lay ailing in his Havana home in the Almendares neighborhood. Of his seven children only his daughter Maria, and a trusted housekeeper, remained to attend his needs as he approached his ninetieth year. His wife, Louisa died in 1954 and all his children except Maria had either died or left Cuba. Maria tried to convince her father to leave so not to be alone, but …
Sharp Prose For Green: John D. Macdonald And The First Ecological Novel, Jack E. Davis
Sharp Prose For Green: John D. Macdonald And The First Ecological Novel, Jack E. Davis
Florida Historical Quarterly
Hardboiled-fiction writer John D. MacDonald was known to fulminate with devastating eloquence against the profligate pillaging of the Florida Dream. Its post-World War II disintegration into a nightmare took form as a subtheme in numerous novels he produced between the 1950s and 1980s and ultimately as a subgenre that inspired a future generation of socially minded Florida writers.1 Having made the state his home, MacDonald sensed personal loss when the combined improvidence and greed of businesses and government leaders impaired the general quality of life. He put his concerns to creative use in cutting prose, saving his harshest words for …
