St. Petersburg-Tampa Airboat Line, Eugene F. Provenzo, Jr.
St. Petersburg-Tampa Airboat Line, Eugene F. Provenzo, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
The St. Petersburg-Tampa Airboat Line operated between St. Petersburg and Tampa, Florida, for three months between January 1, 1914, and March 31, 1914. The Line is commonly recognized as the world’s first regularly-scheduled passenger and commercial freight airline. The idea for the airline originated with the Florida engineer and businessman, P. E. Fansler. It was while experimenting with speed boat racing that he became interested in flying as a way of achieving even greater speed. When he heard about the record-breaking long distance flight made by Antony Jannus in a Benoist flying boat between Omaha and New Orleans in the …
Governor Tonyn's Brown-Water Navy: East Florida During The American Revolution, 1775-1778, George E. Buker
Governor Tonyn's Brown-Water Navy: East Florida During The American Revolution, 1775-1778, George E. Buker
Florida Historical Quarterly
Moses Kirkland left St. Augustine aboard the brigantine Betsey bound for British-held Boston with a packet of letters requesting an expedition to Charleston, South Carolina, so that the southern loyalists and Indians might be saved for the crown. East Florida’s Royal Governor Patrick Tonyn’s letters were among the bundle being forwarded to General Thomas Gage. On December 17, 1775, the Continental schooner Lee captured the Betsey off the New England coast and made for an American port. The next day the intercepted East Florida letters were taken to General George Washington’s headquarters at Cambridge, Massachusetts, where they aroused considerable interest. …
Trail Indians Of Florida, James W. Covington
Trail Indians Of Florida, James W. Covington
Florida Historical Quarterly
The story of the Trail Indians of Florida is the account of Seminoles who loved Florida as much as any group that ever lived here-Latins, crackers, or transplanted Yankees-and who fought the United States government to a virtual standstill in three nineteenth-century wars in a fierce determination to maintain their homes somewhere on the peninsula. In terms of religion, education, and their general life pattern, the Trail Indians have been among the most recalcitrant in the United States against the threats of the white man’s civilization. In recent years one group of Seminoles, organized into the Miccosukee Tribe, launched a …

The Sly Foxes: Henry Flagler, George Miles, And Florida's Public Domain, Edward N. Akin
Florida Historical Quarterly
"My domain begins at Jacksonville," Henry M. Flagler asserted in an invitation extended in February 1898 to President William McKinley to visit him on Florida’s east coast. Flagler’s statement contained a great measure of truth. During the 1880s, Flagler, a close friend and associate of John D. Rockefeller in their Standard Oil Company empire, began a second career in Florida. Flagler had spent some time in Jacksonville in 1878 with his first wife in a vain effort to regain her health. He was delighted with Florida, and he honeymooned with his second wife in St. Augustine during the winter of …

He Has Carried His Life In His Hands: The "Sarasota Assassination Society" Of 1884, Janet Snyder Matthews
Florida Historical Quarterly
A front page headline in the New York Times in February 1885, announced: “The Bloody Work of Band of Southern Murderers . . . the notorious Sarasota Assassination Society.” The Times story reported that Alfred B. Bidwell, formerly of Buffalo, had been arrested for vigilantism in Florida: “This organization is supposed to exist for the purpose of the secret murder of political opponents, and is composed of 20 members, bound together by terrible oaths to perform the bloody work of the band and to keep its secrets inviolate. Mr. Bidwell is charged with making his store the rendezvous of the …

The Naval Career Of John Eliot, Governor Of West Florida, Robert R. Rea
The Naval Career Of John Eliot, Governor Of West Florida, Robert R. Rea
Florida Historical Quarterly
The Royal Navy offered a promising career to the younger sons of many an English county family in the eighteenth century, and when political influence could be brought to bear, prospects for rapid advancement were considerably increased. The case of John Eliot offers an interesting example of the making of a naval officer during the Seven Years War and demonstrates the heights to which family connections could raise a very young man, for Eliot’s elevation to the governorship of the colony of West Florida at the age of twenty-four far surpassed the claims of his service at sea. Eliot’s naval …
Policing Miami's Black Community, 1896-1930, Paul S. George
Policing Miami's Black Community, 1896-1930, Paul S. George
Florida Historical Quarterly
When Miami, Florida, was incorporated in 1896, most white residents mirrored the prevailing attitude toward blacks. Negroes, they assumed, were inferior people who represented a potential threat to the white community. This attitude resulted in the consignment of blacks to cramped quarters with inadequate municipal services, creation of a dual system of justice, and semi-official tolerance of white terrorism. The symbol and guardian of this order was the police.
An Empty Victory: The St. Petersburg Sanitation Strike, 1968, Darryl Paulson
An Empty Victory: The St. Petersburg Sanitation Strike, 1968, Darryl Paulson
Florida Historical Quarterly
St. Petersburg, Florida, has long had the image of being a haven for retirees and tourists. People are drawn to the city by its beaches, its sunshine, and its tranquility. The peaceful climate of St. Petersburg was shattered in 1968 when a work stoppage in the sanitation department mushroomed into a four-month strike. What started as a nonviolent effort using marches, picketing, and economic boycotts in an attempt to increase wages, transformed itself into fire bombings, arson, gunfire, and riots. At the conclusion of the strike, the workers found their situation no better than before the walkout, but the strike …
Governor Leroy Collins Of Florida And The Selma Crisis Of 1965, Thomas R. Wagy
Governor Leroy Collins Of Florida And The Selma Crisis Of 1965, Thomas R. Wagy
Florida Historical Quarterly
On Tuesday, March 9, 1965, a bright sun shone on Selma, Alabama, replacing the gray, gloomy weather which had blanketed the city for days. Despite the sixty degree temperature, the air held a winter crispness. Most of the people gathered at Brown’s Chapel wore heavy overcoats and gloves. The nervous conversations grew into an expectant murmur and then applause as a young black man came into view. He walked among the crowd, touched the extended hands, and moved to the church steps to speak. He was their leader. Arguments about whether or not to march ended. They would abide by …

Immigrants And Radicals In Tampa, Florida, George E. Pozzetta
Immigrants And Radicals In Tampa, Florida, George E. Pozzetta
Florida Historical Quarterly
The role that radical ideologies have played in the experience of America’s immigrant groups has been the subject of increasing scholarly attention. Historians are coming to realize that these philosophies often exerted a substantial influence on ethnic group development. This was particularly true of the manner in which immigrants interacted with the labor movement in America. That these developments have often been overlooked has been explained, in part, by a lack of documentary evidence available for use in charting the events, issues, and personalities of the radical world. In recent years, however, a growing volume of historical material has become …
The Mosquito Fleet's Guides And The Second Seminole War, George E. Buker
The Mosquito Fleet's Guides And The Second Seminole War, George E. Buker
Florida Historical Quarterly
The significance of the navy’s role in the Second Seminole War has often been overlooked, especially its impact upon the Seminole nation through the many naval canoe expeditions into the Everglades during the last years of the war. Yet the fact remains that these incursions caused the Seminole people to break up their their war bands and resort to small family groups to avoid the pursuing sailors and marines. Such dispersal destroyed the Indians’ ability to maintain an effective military posture against the United States forces in southern Florida. Once the navy obtained proficient guides who were knowledgeable about the …
William Edwards And The Historic University Of Florida Campus: A Photographic Essay, Stephen Kerber
William Edwards And The Historic University Of Florida Campus: A Photographic Essay, Stephen Kerber
Florida Historical Quarterly
The University of Florida officially dates its birth to the founding of the East Florida Seminary in 1853, but the university has really existed in its present form only since 1905. In that year the Florida legislature passed the Buckman Act (named for state Representative Henry H. Buckman, its main author), which consolidated the colleges, seminaries, and institutes receiving state support.

Key West And The Cuban Ten Years War, Gerald E. Poyo
Florida Historical Quarterly
Activist émigré communities have always been a prominent factor in the Cuban historical experience. Because of its proximity to the island, Florida became a traditional gathering point for dissatisfied Cubans seeking to influence the political situation in their homeland.

Florida And The Black Migration, Jerrell H. Shofner
Florida And The Black Migration, Jerrell H. Shofner
Florida Historical Quarterly
When the European war erupted in 1914 the flow of immigrants to the United States was greatly curtailed, depriving developing American industries of their traditional supply of new laborers. Northern railroad and manufacturing firms then turned to the native blacks of the South as potential workers to fill the unskilled jobs so necessary to their continued growth. Southern blacks had been migrating northward in small numbers since before the turn of the century, but when northern companies began sending recruiters into the South the numbers accelerated enormously. Beginning with the Pennsylvania Railroad’s recruiting of several hundred blacks from Jacksonville, Florida, …
