On The Land For Life: Black Tenant Farmers On Tall Timbers Plantation, Susan Hamburger Jan 2022

On The Land For Life: Black Tenant Farmers On Tall Timbers Plantation, Susan Hamburger

Florida Historical Quarterly

Since the 1830s the Tall Timbers Research Station land in northern Leon County, Florida, supported agricultural pursuits ranging from antebellum cotton plantations to twentieth-century quail hunting to fire management studies. The continual thread from the 1830s to the 1940s is the black worker, who evolved from slave to tenant farmer. This study will concentrate on the continuity of occupancy on this land of selected black families from 1865 to 1900.


Minorcan Population Of St. Augustine In The Spanish Census Of 1786, Philip D. Rasico Jan 2022

Minorcan Population Of St. Augustine In The Spanish Census Of 1786, Philip D. Rasico

Florida Historical Quarterly

Nearly half a century ago the noted historian of Spanish colonial Florida, Joseph Byrne Lockey published a transcription, accompanied by a preface and notes, of the Spanish census of St. Augustine and its vicinity which was prepared in December 1786 by the Salamanca-educated Irish priest, Thomas Hassett. An incomplete draft of this document is in the East Florida Papers in the Manuscripts Division of the Library of Congress. Lockey’s translation of the draft is also incomplete; he omits the lengthy section which contains the largest and most ethnically-diverse sector of St. Augustine’s civilian population during the early years of the …


"New Red Atlantis": John Collier's Encounter With The Florida Seminoles In 1935, Harry A. Kersey, Jr. Jan 2022

"New Red Atlantis": John Collier's Encounter With The Florida Seminoles In 1935, Harry A. Kersey, Jr.

Florida Historical Quarterly

In March 1935, some two years following his appointment as commissioner of Indian Affairs by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, John Collier paid his first official visit to the Seminole Tribe in Florida. Although recognized as one of the nation’s leading Indian Rights advocates throughout the 1920s Collier’s work had been focused almost exclusively among the western tribes. As secretary of the American Indian Defense Association, he frequently appeared before various congressional committees, testifying on such issues as tribal water and mineral rights, control of reservation lands, and Indian religious freedom. His name had become synonymous with a progressive commitment to …

The Alachua-St. Marys Road, Burke G. Vanderhill Jan 2022

The Alachua-St. Marys Road, Burke G. Vanderhill

Florida Historical Quarterly

The foot trails and rough cart roads of early nineteenth-century Florida reflected the needs for communication and trade which were changed significantly as the territory was organized and development began under American administration. Nevertheless, there was a tendency for continued local use of these old routes long after the original functions had been lost. Not only was it easier to improve or modify an existing trace than to cut an entirely new one through the Florida forests, but the early routes were relatively felicitous, following the drainage divides, skirting the extensive swampland tracts, and avoiding more difficult river crossings. Numerous …


Creating A Different Pattern: Florida's Women Legislators, 1928-1986, Mary Carolyn Ellis Jan 2022

Creating A Different Pattern: Florida's Women Legislators, 1928-1986, Mary Carolyn Ellis

Florida Historical Quarterly

Florida in the nineteenth century was a traditional southern state. The legacy from the Civil War and Reconstruction lingered into the early decades of the twentieth century, principally with regard to cultural expectations, racial prejudice, and one-party Democratic politics. Women’s roles in the society were carefully defined, and there was not much divergence from cultural expectations. Florida Congressman Frank Clark expressed this traditional attitude in 1915: “Let us then leave woman where she is— the loveliest of all creation, queen of the household.“


Twilight Of The Mocamo And Guale Aborigines As Portrayed In The 1695 Spanish Visitation, John H. Hann Jan 2022

Twilight Of The Mocamo And Guale Aborigines As Portrayed In The 1695 Spanish Visitation, John H. Hann

Florida Historical Quarterly

The natives of Mocamo and Guale on the coasts of Georgia and northern Florida were the first with whom the French and then the Spaniards established steady contact in the 1560s and among the first to be missionized. Yet, as scholars have remarked, surprisingly little is known about these people during the historic period either archaeologically or historically. Only for the years 1597-1606 are there detailed published accounts of events in the Guale and Mocamo missions in the works of John Tate Lanning, Maynard Geiger, OFM, and Manuel Serrano y Sanz, and in Kathleen Deagan’s chapter on the eastern Timucua …


Florida And The World's Columbian Exposition Of 1893, Stephen Kerber Jan 2022

Florida And The World's Columbian Exposition Of 1893, Stephen Kerber

Florida Historical Quarterly

It is a common misconception that Chicago, Illinois, is known as “the Windy City” for its weather. Actually, the name originated during the nineteenth century as a derisive comment upon the often-exaggerated rhetoric employed by Chicagoans engaged in praising their community. This prideful attitude would find its finest and most enduring expression in the poetry of Carl Sandburg. It was this same spirit of aggressive boosterism which in the 1890s enabled Chicagoans to win congressional approval to host on behalf of the nation a great international exposition celebrating the four hundredth anniversary of Columbus’s discovery of the New World, and …

Terror: The Ultimate Weapon Of Pirates, Aimee Hunt Jan 2022

Terror: The Ultimate Weapon Of Pirates, Aimee Hunt

Student Research

Attempting to explain the tactic of terror as 17th and 18th-century pirates' "weapon of choice," this paper covers the basics of terrorism and how Atlantic pirates used it. Through symbols such as flags, horror stories from survivors, or the savage abuse they inflicted on their captives, pirates fall easily under the description of terrorists.
