The Politics Of Performance: Rollins College And The Annie Russell Theatre, Joan M. Jensen
The Politics Of Performance: Rollins College And The Annie Russell Theatre, Joan M. Jensen
Florida Historical Quarterly
Today, Florida boasts important venues for the performing arts. Orlando is ringed by dozens of theme parks that furnish entertainment for masses of people seeking to sample "popular" culture. These popular forms of entertainment are a backdrop for the somewhat smaller stage of "elite" or "serious" performing arts: Ringling's Asolo Center for the Performing Arts in Sarasota and the Fringe Theater Festival in Miami, which attract thousands of people each year, are examples. These are two faces of the same human need for performance before an audience, and for spaces to gather the audiences.
Controlling Venereal Disease In Orlando During World War Ii, Claire Strom
Controlling Venereal Disease In Orlando During World War Ii, Claire Strom
Florida Historical Quarterly
Beryl Oates* was nineteen years old when Deputy Sheriff James Allen Black arrested her just after 10:00 am on a Saturday morning in February 1944 on suspicion of having a venereal disease. She was detained until she could be seen by Doctor and Captain Solomon Kolack who worked for the US Public Health Service as the disease control officer for Orange County, Florida. When he saw her, Kolack would have tested Beryl for syphilis and, if she tested positive, she would have probably been confined in the rapid treatment center in Ocala for a lengthy and painful course of arsenic …
A Liberated Journalist And Yankee Women On The Florida Frontier, John T. Foster, Jr
A Liberated Journalist And Yankee Women On The Florida Frontier, John T. Foster, Jr
Florida Historical Quarterly
Journalist Ellen Augusta Hill wrote an unusual newspaper column for two years in the 1880s- one that contains both her own extraordinary ideas and many of those of her rural readers. By tracing the journalist's effort and the response it helped to generate, a picture emerges of women who have received little attention in Florida history. Neither Hill nor her followers were native-born Floridians, or even Southerners. They were Yankee women who came from New York and, perhaps surprisingly, from both Ohio and Illinois. The topics covered by Hill and the dialogue engendered departed from earlier journalistic activities in Florida. …
Alachua Settlers And The Second Seminole War, C. S. Monaco
Alachua Settlers And The Second Seminole War, C. S. Monaco
Florida Historical Quarterly
The role of Florida's interior settlements and relatively modest settler population has never been assigned much historical significance vis-a-vis the Second Seminole War (1835-1842). With few exceptions, the historiography has focused on the military aspects of this protracted conflict, with certain key battles, military commanders, Native American leaders, and the destruction of the east coast sugar plantations garnering the most interest.2 The ramifications of President Andrew Jackson's Indian Removal Act (1830) which celebrated the prospect of placing "a civilized population on large tracts of country now occupied by a few savage hunters"3 are well-known, along with the treaties of Moultrie …

For This Is An Enchanted Land Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings And The Florida Environment, Florence M. Turcotte
For This Is An Enchanted Land Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings And The Florida Environment, Florence M. Turcotte
Florida Historical Quarterly
American author Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings described her adopted home in north-central Florida as "an enchanted land." Her love for her surroundings was evident in rich descriptions of the seasons, the forces of nature, and the lives of the people around her. Immediately upon arrival in 1928 at Cross Creek, a tiny hamlet about twenty miles southeast of Gainesville, Rawlings immersed herself in the local hunting and fishing culture. She came to understand and appreciate the lifestyle of the people of the nearby "Big Scrub" country, who depended on the land for their survival. Along with this understanding, Rawlings came to …

Industrious, Thrifty And Ambitious: Jacksonville's African American Businesspeople During The Jim Crow Era, David H. Jackson, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
While modern-day Florida conjures images of Disney World and sunny beaches, the black experience in the Sunshine State from around 1880 to 1930 was not so bright. Race relations in Florida were equal to, if not harsher than, other Southern states. Consequently, understanding race relations in Florida must be contextualized in reference to the mores, traditions, and values that governed the South as a whole and wreaked terror against black people in large measure.2
American Gibraltar: Key West During World War Ii, Abraham H. Gibson
American Gibraltar: Key West During World War Ii, Abraham H. Gibson
Florida Historical Quarterly
As visitors and locals alike will attest, there is no other place in America quite like Key West. Separated from the Florida peninsula by more than a hundred miles, the island city lies closer to Havana than Miami. The archipelago to which it belongs not only boasts the only tropical climate in the lower forty-eight, but also features flora and fauna found nowhere else on Earth. Even the ground underfoot is unique. A mere hundred thousand years ago, Key West was not only underwater, but alive. Its entire surface teemed with millions of tiny coral which slowly built the island's …
Pragmatism, Seminoles, And Science: Opposition To Progressive Everglades Drainage, Chris Wilhelm
Pragmatism, Seminoles, And Science: Opposition To Progressive Everglades Drainage, Chris Wilhelm
Florida Historical Quarterly
Floridians have always had complex, contentious, and dynamic relationships with the Everglades. Most Floridians in the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century saw the Everglades as a wasteland and supported draining useless swamp in order to facilitate economic progress. The publication of Marjory Stoneman Douglas' The Everglades: River of Grass (1947) and the advent of modern environmentalism encouraged Floridians to reconsider the identity and value of the Everglades, seeing it as a 'river of grass' that needed protection and restoration. These two views, however, only scratch the surface of the multiplicity of ways Floridians have perceived and interacted with …

Miami Stories, Jeff Rice
Miami Stories, Jeff Rice
Florida Historical Quarterly
In his song Miami 2017, Billy Joel imagined Miami, Florida, as a refuge for an impending apocalypse. In the narrative, or diegesis, Joel builds, Miami is never mentioned. But as Joel describes how dangerous New York has become in this futuristic scenario, the city's citizens, we are led to believe, will once again flee south, just as the song tells us they did almost eight years earlier.

Florida Historical Quarterly
As the premiere of the documentary ended and the lights went up, its filmmakers held their breath and wondered: Would In Marjorie's Wake accomplish the task they had hoped for-to bridge the new Florida with the old, linking the literary musings of one of the state's most celebrated authors with a true concern for its vanishing paradise? The audience's enthusiastic applause and subsequent comments- gave them hope.
Florida Porch Reverie, Charlie Hailey
Florida Porch Reverie, Charlie Hailey
Florida Historical Quarterly
Calvin Stowe once conversed with Goethe on his Florida porch. His wife Harriet Beecher Stowe, well-known author of Uncle Toms Cabin, set up this context when she first explored Orange Park in the spring of 1867 and found an enthralling climate and landscape inclined to mix the actual with the imagined. By 1868 the Stowes purchased a house on the St. Johns River in Mandarin and by 1872 completed renovations, most significantly the porch. For Harriet, this open-air space-she called it her "veranda"-harbored dreams and visions for writerly inspiration. On the porch, Calvin reads, translates, and hallucinates while Harriet listens …
Is South Florida The New Southern California?: Carl Hiaasen's Dystopian Paradise, David M. Parker
Is South Florida The New Southern California?: Carl Hiaasen's Dystopian Paradise, David M. Parker
Florida Historical Quarterly
Florida and California have from their entry into American culture been considered by writers to be enchanted states, the places to which Americans can escape to a more exotic reality than is represented by the colder North and East. As early as the American Revolution, then-Spanish Florida was known for its unspoiled terrain and its lush beauty. Harriet Beecher Stowe extolled its exotic qualities, while Stephen Crane wrote of the contrast between the harsh outside world and the escapist qualities of the state. California, by contrast, has been seen as a paradise, a found Eden, and like Florida, a place …

Murders And Pastels In Miami: The Role Of Miami Vice In Bringing Back Tourists To Miami, Alison Meek
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the 1950s, Miami, Florida, earned a reputation as a tourist destination for its "arresting combination of sun, sand, and sea."1 But by the late 1970s and early 1980s, that image had changed dramatically. Instead of sandy beaches and year-round warm tropical rays of sun tanning pasty tourists, Miami developed an image in the national and international media centered on drug cartel shoot-outs, Cuban refugees, and race riots. To make matters worse, in the eyes of Miami's tourist honchos, a new NBC weekly series focused on the city was set to debut in the fall of 1984. Michael Mann's Miami …

Florida: The Mediated State, Julian C. Chambliss

In a March 2007 National Geographic article titled, "Beyond Disney," writer T.D. Allman wrote, "Everything happening to America today is happening here ... "1 The article went on to suggest that Orlando had become a prime example of the "ascendant power of cities' exurbs... " While this assessment was focused on the iconic Central Florida community, the implication that Florida's experience foreshadows the country's future highlights a crucial role the state plays in the broader U.S. experience, a role that this special issue of the Florida Historical Quarterly aims to render. Indeed, as Anne Rowe writes in The Ideal of …

The Rise And Fall Of The Original Lone Star State: Infant American Imperialism Ascendant In West Florida, Cody Scallions
The Rise And Fall Of The Original Lone Star State: Infant American Imperialism Ascendant In West Florida, Cody Scallions
Florida Historical Quarterly
To many scholars, the West Florida Revolt of 1810 served merely as a transitional period in American history. Referenced as a time when a few social elites rose to challenge Spanish colonial authority in southeastern Louisiana, the West Florida Revolt has been viewed as a necessary step in the annexation of the territory by the United States. Recent research suggests this perspective should be qualified. Much like the Republic of Texas, the Republic of West Florida exhibited characteristics common to more successful independent states, including a functioning written constitution, a judicial system, a treasury, an army, and important elements of …

Some Thoughts On Spanish East And West Florida, James G. Cusick
Some Thoughts On Spanish East And West Florida, James G. Cusick
Florida Historical Quarterly
As Andrew McMichael points out in Atlantic Loyalties, the eastern Spanish borderlands of Louisiana and the Floridas suffered constant upheaval in the 40 years between 1778 and 1818. During those years, some fourteen different episodes of conspiracy, revolt, or invasion shook colonial society, beginning with the raids of James Willing in 1778 and carrying on through the First Seminole War of 1817-1818 (see Table 1).1 Although several of these upheavals stemmed from general warfare in the region, many were instigated by fairly small groups of men who played upon the discontent of fellow settlers or who drew on a base …

The Origins Of The Monroe Doctrine Revisited: The Madison Administration, The West Florida Revolt, And The No Transfer Policy, William S. Belko
Florida Historical Quarterly
Late in October of 1810, as citizens and statesmen throughout the United States focused almost entirely on an imminent conflict with Great Britain and apprehensively monitored Napoleon's armies in Europe, the president of the United States, James Madison, quickly convened an emergency session of his cabinet members. Great Britain and Napoleon were not, however, the reason for calling the secret cabinet meeting. What occupied the attention of the executive branch was a little recognized rebellion in a sparsely populated region south of the Mississippi Territory. Two days after secretly conferring with his cabinet, on October 27, Madison issued a pivotal …

Introduction: Setting A Precedent For Regional Revolution: The West Florida Revolt Considered, Samuel C. Hyde, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the course of its historical development, Florida has endured shifting and contested lines of demarcation. Few casual observers and likely a large percentage of the recent transplants to the Sunshine State, realize that Florida's borders once extended far beyond the current confines of the state. Many students of history are surprised to learn that Florida once included a significant portion of Louisiana. On the eve of the bicentennial of the Louisiana Purchase in 2003, scholars were hard pressed to explain to a skeptical public that all of the Bayou State was not a part of the Purchase. Despite President …
