Unpretending Service: The James L. Davis, The Tahoma, And The East Gulf Blockading Squadron, David J. Coles
Unpretending Service: The James L. Davis, The Tahoma, And The East Gulf Blockading Squadron, David J. Coles
Florida Historical Quarterly
The United States Navy’s primary mission during the Civil War was to blockade the Confederate coastline. To accomplish this, the North Atlantic, South Atlantic, East Gulf, and West Gulf Blockading Squadrons were established.1 Perhaps the least known of these was the East Gulf Blockading Squadron (EGBS), which was created January 20, 1862, and began independent operations a month later on February 22. Charged with responsibility for the blockade of the Florida peninsula from Cape Canaveral on the Atlantic coast to St. Andrew Bay in the Gulf of Mexico, the EGBS operated for three and one-half years. During that time, the …

East Florida Papers, 1784-1821, Sherry Johnson
Florida Historical Quarterly
In 1821, as a result of the Adams-Onís Treaty negotiated in 1819, the province of East Florida was ceded from Spain to the United States. On November 5, 1821, during the transfer proceedings in St. Augustine, North American representatives certified that they had received a series of documents, a transaction that was affirmed by Spanish royal notary Juan de Entralgo. 1 In doing so, United States commissioners acquired the official archives relating to the Spanish administration in East Florida from 1784 to 1821, a time designated by historians as the Second Spanish Period.2 Collectively, these documents have come to be …
Free Speech At The University Of Florida: The Enoch Marvin Banks Case, Fred Arthur Bailey
Free Speech At The University Of Florida: The Enoch Marvin Banks Case, Fred Arthur Bailey
Florida Historical Quarterly
At the November 1911 meeting of the United Daughters of the Confederacy in Richmond, Virginia, reports by state division presidents constituted an important ritual. The women drew strength from each successful membership drive, monument raised, child educated, and aging veteran comforted— all to the greater glory of their southern heritage. Among the honored speakers was Florida’s Sister Esther Carlotta. She graciously credited accomplishments in her state to her organization’s enthusiastic and patriotic membership.1 Only once did she call attention to her own efforts. Representing her state division, she had personally “protested against the retention in the Chair of History,” at …

Review Essay: Osceola: The White Man's Indian, Theda Perdue
Review Essay: Osceola: The White Man's Indian, Theda Perdue
Florida Historical Quarterly
Patricia R. Wickman’s study of Osceola is not a typical biography. She outlines the major events in the life of Osceola, but her focus is primarily on Osceolana— that is, the artifacts associated with the hero of the Seminoles’ struggle to remain in their homeland. She attempts to separate the genuine accounts of his life and accurate visual representations of him from those that are derivative, and she authenticates some personal belongings while casting considerable doubt on others. Her narrative reads like a detective story. Like all detective work, some of her investigation is technical and dull, while other parts …

Heathen Acuera, Murder, And A Potano Cimarrona: The St. Johns River And The Alachua Paririe In The 1670s, John H. Hann
Heathen Acuera, Murder, And A Potano Cimarrona: The St. Johns River And The Alachua Paririe In The 1670s, John H. Hann
Florida Historical Quarterly
The 1655 mission list was believed to have contained the last mention of the little-known Acuera branch of the Timucua, who “probably occupied the area between the Ocklawaha and St. Johns Rivers.” That belief fostered speculation that the Acuera, the missions among them, and other Spanish interaction with them ended with the Timucua rebellion of 1656.1 A recently unearthed record of a 1678 criminal case reveals the existence of at least a few heathen Acuera a generation after the rebellion. It also provides information about life in the 1670s from the Potano region of present Alachua County east to the …
William Bartram's Travels In The Indian Nations, Charlotte M. Porter
William Bartram's Travels In The Indian Nations, Charlotte M. Porter
Florida Historical Quarterly
In 1773, the famous American naturalist William Bartram returned to the southeast portion of what is now the United States. The region was a more dangerous place than he realized. American “patriots” from Georgia were making troublesome border raids into East Florida. Many of the English plantations were owned in absentia, and the lives of the resident managers were, as Bartram knew from personal experience, isolated. Indian groups far outnumbered white residents in the Floridas, and they were becoming increasingly hostile. With an estimated 4,500 warriors, the Lower Creeks seriously impeded any colonial presence in the East Florida interior. In …
Tampa's James Mckay And The Frustration Of Confederate Cattle-Supply Operations In South Florida, Canter Brown, Jr.
Tampa's James Mckay And The Frustration Of Confederate Cattle-Supply Operations In South Florida, Canter Brown, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
By the summer of 1863, the availability of beef and other provisions from Florida was crucial to Confederate forces east of the Mississippi. The fall of Vicksburg in July had barred access to western beef, and food stocks in the East were nearly depleted. In October, the situation was so critical that one Army of Tennessee supply officer pleaded with Florida’s commissary agent: “I cannot too strongly urge upon you the necessity, yes, the urgency, of sending forward cattle promptly. It appears that all other resources are exhausted.” The following day he added, “I assure you that nearly all now …

Review Essays: "A Nation Divided: Robert Leckie's Narrative Account", William Warren Rogers
Review Essays: "A Nation Divided: Robert Leckie's Narrative Account", William Warren Rogers
Florida Historical Quarterly
Robert Leckie is a prolific author of books concerning history, autobiography, “belles lettres,” and fiction, not to mention eleven others for young readers. His most recent is entitled None Died In Vain: The Saga of the American Civil War. It is a large book (sixty-seven chapters and 658 pages of text), and, having no footnotes, it may be described as “popular” history. Even so, there is a bibliography, and it is the product of considerable scholarship. The person who begins and finishes the work will find no new materials presented and no new interpretations offered. Yet, the reader has the …
Review Essays: "Soldier Of British West Florida: Major Robert Farmar Of Mobile", J. Barton Starr
Review Essays: "Soldier Of British West Florida: Major Robert Farmar Of Mobile", J. Barton Starr
Florida Historical Quarterly
No historian of British West Florida better understands the history of that colony than Robert R. Rea. Over the past twenty years, he has published numerous articles and books on that frontier outpost of the British Empire and has an unsurpassed grasp of the intricacies of the internal history of the colony as well as the imperial complexities posed by the large new possession. His research is always thorough, his analysis clear and often thought provoking, and his writing a model of style that attracts both the general reader and the professional historian.
A New Englander On The Indian River Frontier: Caleb Lyndon Brayton And The View From Brayton's Bluff, Edward Caleb Coker
A New Englander On The Indian River Frontier: Caleb Lyndon Brayton And The View From Brayton's Bluff, Edward Caleb Coker
Florida Historical Quarterly
In July 1844, from atop a high bluff overlooking the Indian River in St. Lucie County, Caleb Lyndon Brayton commenced an affectionate correspondence to his wife which continued until his death from tuberculosis ten years later.1 Lyndon had come to Florida to improve his health and seek his fortune. His pregnant wife, Marian, and his young son, Thomas Lyndon, remained behind in Augusta, Georgia, waiting for him to become estabished on the Florida frontier. Brayton, a native of Rhode Island, began his career as a merchant in Fall River, Massachusetts. The onset of tuberculosis prompted a move to the warmer …

The Historic Stetson University Campus In Deland, 1884-1934, Sidney Johnston
Florida Historical Quarterly
Stetson University in DeLand, established in 1883, is the oldest continuously operating university in Florida associated with its original site. The campus, which occupies an area three blocks square, is significant as one of the state’s few education-related landscapes that contains buildings constructed in the late-nineteenth century.
The Last Shall Be First: Northern Methodists In Reconstruction Jacksonville, John T. Foster, Jr.
The Last Shall Be First: Northern Methodists In Reconstruction Jacksonville, John T. Foster, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
During Reconstruction, many northern men and women contributed to Florida’s social, political, and economic life. Their efforts— and those of the northern institutions and organizations that supported them— provided immediate assistance to the needy and resulted, as well, in the establishment of churches, schools, and other institutions that endured the test of time. Nonetheless, most Floridians have gained only a one-dimensional understanding of the contributions of Northerners during Reconstruction, usually through the highly critical eyes of historians such as William Watson Davis. Of them, Davis, a disciple of Columbia University’s Dunning School of Reconstruction historiography, wrote: “The failure of the …
