Trabue, Alias Punta Gorda, Vernon E. Peeples
Florida Historical Quarterly
The Florida Southern Railway in 1885-1886, constructed a line from Bartow Junction to Charlotte Harbor, and a new town, Punta Gorda, sprang up at the southern terminus of what was then the southernmost railroad in the United States. Punta Gorda’s beginning enbroiled its settlers and leading citizens in a controversy that raged for many years.

Naval Engagements In Tampa Bay, 1862, Frank Falero, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
During the Civil War, the Union Navy’s primary mission was to prevent the South from marketing her products and to prevent her from obtaining arms. To accomplish this dual mission, the North stationed a considerable number of ships in blockade positions along the Gulf and Atlantic seaboards. The majority of these blockade vessels were small in size as well as firepower. There were two main reasons why the Union used small ships as blockaders. The first reason being that their adverseries likely would be small, shallow-draft vessels with limited firepower, and second, the larger more powerful ships were needed to …
Illegal Importations: Enforcement Of The Slave Trade Laws Along The Florida Coast, 1810-1828, Frances J. Stafford
Illegal Importations: Enforcement Of The Slave Trade Laws Along The Florida Coast, 1810-1828, Frances J. Stafford
Florida Historical Quarterly
The above quotations, decrying the evils of the slave trade are from two widely disparate sources and periods. The first may be found in an anti-slave trade tract of the Society of Friends published in 1824, and the second is from the opinion in a federal case involving slave trading activities in 1860. Both are evidence of the futility of the hopes of the founding fathers in 1787, that slavery and its companion evil, the slave trade, were but temporary problems for the United States. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, the cotton gin and the textile mills destroyed …
British And Indian Activities In Spanish West Florida During The War Of 1812, Frank L. Owsley, Jr.
British And Indian Activities In Spanish West Florida During The War Of 1812, Frank L. Owsley, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
When Britain lost control of Florida in 1783 to Spain, many English merchants and public officials, especially the governors of Jamaica and New Providence, did not consider the loss of Florida as permanent. They continued an extensive legal and illegal trade with the Indians in Florida and the southern United States. The mouth of the Apalachicola River and the area around it comprised one of the main seats of this commerce, especially the illegal part. In line with their objectives of regaining control of Florida, these various British officials and merchants sent such filibusterers as William Augustus Bowles, who plotted …
Notes On The Medical History Of Key West, 1822-1832, E. Ashby Hammond
Notes On The Medical History Of Key West, 1822-1832, E. Ashby Hammond
Florida Historical Quarterly
The years 1818 to 1823 were unquiet times in the northern Caribbean. The Latin nations of the area were either stabilizing their newly gained independence or preparing for further expressions of defiance against their Iberian overlords. In any event there was neither time nor the resources for organizing a military patrol of the waters extending from Venezuela to Tampa Bay, from Yucatan to Puerto Rico. Piracy was virtually unrestrained, and wrecking, considered by some observers to have been an only slightly more honorable enterprise, went unregulated. Shortly after John W. Simonton had acquired the island, then known as Cayo Hueso, …

Joseph E. Brown And Florida's New South Economy, Derrell C. Roberts
Joseph E. Brown And Florida's New South Economy, Derrell C. Roberts
Florida Historical Quarterly
The present day economy of Florida is rooted in the post-Civil War New South era of American history. The first wealth acquired in the tourist trade and citrus production came to Florida in this period. Governor Joseph E. Brown of Georgia, along with many other Americans North and South, was amassing at this time a sizeable personal fortune in various enterprises that ranged from agriculture and real estate to railroads, banking, and mineral enterprises. On several occasions, he visited Florida, always keenly observing the economy of the state. Governor Brown’s political career was spread over the years from the 1840s …
Lieutenant John T. Mclaughlin: Guilty Or Innocent?, Nell L. Weidenbach
Lieutenant John T. Mclaughlin: Guilty Or Innocent?, Nell L. Weidenbach
Florida Historical Quarterly
The Florida Squadron, based on Key Biscayne and Indian Key during the Second Seminole War, was a small but highly effective naval group whose part in bringing hostilities to a close has remained in relative obscurity for over a century. Furthermore, the youthful and courageous commander of this squadron, Lieutenant John T. McLaughlin, has been relegated to the fine print of an occasional footnote. The sparse and very brief paragraphs allotted to him all too frequently concentrate on his fiscal extravagances and his drinking excesses, with dark intimations of corruption and cruelty. The paragraphs which follow are designed to bring …
First Campaign Of The Second Seminole War, George C. Bittle
First Campaign Of The Second Seminole War, George C. Bittle
Florida Historical Quarterly
There was no one basic cause of the Second Seminole War which began in Florida in December 1835. Major General T. S. Jesup, a regular army officer who served in Florida during the war, said that the Indian attacks were primarily the result of white efforts to secure Negroes held by the Seminoles. Senator Thomas Hart Benton of Missouri believed the oppressive and intriguing nature of federal Indian supervision was to blame. Major General Edmund Pendleton Gaines, who served briefly in Florida early in 1836, thought that the Florida conflict was an example of border warfare. Mrs. Ellen Call Long, …
Fort King: A Brief History, Eloise R. Ott
Fort King: A Brief History, Eloise R. Ott
Florida Historical Quarterly
Within the eastern residential section of Ocala is the site of Fort King. Probably more has been written of this military outpost than of any Florida fortification of its time. Yet long overlooked in official files in Washington is the scarcely known story of its erection - letters which tell of its plan, its buildings, and of problems resulting from the frugality of a government insistent upon a stringent economy of expenditure.
Oldsmar For Health, Wealth, Happiness, Glenn A. Niemeyer
Oldsmar For Health, Wealth, Happiness, Glenn A. Niemeyer
Florida Historical Quarterly
The Florida real estate boom of the mid-1920s brought unparalleled publicity to Florida. From Jacksonville to Key West city streets were clogged with cars and trucks bearing northern license plates. Swamps were drained and lots on “Venetian canals” were offered for public sale at fantastic prices. Elaborate advertising campaigns, boasting such names as William Jennings Bryan, attempted to lure the Northerner away from snow and ice and into the “Sunshine State.” According to Frederick Lewis Allen, it was “the most delirious fever of real-estate speculation which had attacked the United States in ninety years.”
The Free Negro In Florida Before The Civil War, Russell Garvin
The Free Negro In Florida Before The Civil War, Russell Garvin
Florida Historical Quarterly
Freedom for negroes in a society where race was the only qualification for slavery was at best an anomaly and at worst an illusion. In either case though, freedom survived alongside slavery. Florida first acquired free Negroes early in the seventeenth century. In 1704 the Spanish governor, Zuniga, opened the territory to fugitive slaves from British plantations to the North. Thus established, potential liberty across the border tempted Carolina blacks and tormented their white owners. It was hoped that the colonization of Georgia would serve as a buffer region to prevent the escape of slaves to Florida. Carolina benefited, but …

Black Belt Political Crisis: The Savage-James Lynching, 1882, Edward C. Williamson
Black Belt Political Crisis: The Savage-James Lynching, 1882, Edward C. Williamson
Florida Historical Quarterly
In 1868 and again in 1872, Florida’s Republican Party triumphed over a predominantly ex-Confederate Democratic opposition. The Republican majorities were greatly enhanced by the political organization of the Black Belt. Chief among the political organizers was carpetbagger Dennis Eagan, a native of Ireland, whose particular bailiwick was Madison County and whose political organization survived the debacle of 1876 and the demise of Reconstruction. As late as 1880, Eagan was still delivering sizeable majorities to Republican candidates when in most of the rest of Florida the party was becoming dormant. That majority, for the most part Negroes, was in effect keeping …
Billy Bowlegs (Holata Micco) In The Civil War (Part Ii), Kenneth W. Porter
Billy Bowlegs (Holata Micco) In The Civil War (Part Ii), Kenneth W. Porter
Florida Historical Quarterly
Elias Rector as an ardent partisan of the Confederacy, must have particularly wished in subsequent years that his report of Billy Bowleg’s death had been more than just a rumor, for Bowlegs was one of the principal chiefs of the Five Civilized Tribes who supported the Union in the Civil War. Although a number of Seminole chiefs, along with representatives of all the other Civilized Tribes, were bullied or cajoled into signing a treaty with the Confederacy, before the war was over it was estimated that two-thirds of the Seminole Indians and practically all their Negroes were within the Union …
Federal Expedition Against Saint Marks Ends At Natural Bridge, Edwin C. Bearss
Federal Expedition Against Saint Marks Ends At Natural Bridge, Edwin C. Bearss
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the last year of the Civil War, the Union forces took advantage of their seapower to carry the conflict to sections of Florida that had heretofore escaped the ravages of war. Operating from bases which they had seized along the Gulf and Atlantic coasts of the state, Union columns would strike deep into the interior and fall back before the Confederates could rally a force strong enough to intervene. Raiding parties were likewise put ashore from transports. If they ran into serious opposition, the raiders would fall back to the beach, where they would be covered by the great …

Election Of 1870 And The End Of Reconstruction In Florida, Ralph L. Peek
Florida Historical Quarterly
William Dunnington Bloxham was the first Democrat to win a high elective office in Florida following Congressional Reconstruction. Just twenty-eight months after the end of military rule in the state this native Florida conservative was elected lieutenant governor. However, he was denied the fruits of victory for more than eighteen months. After tedious litigation he was finally awarded the office by the Florida Supreme Court and was inaugurated June 3, 1872.
Journey To The Wilderness: Two Travelers In Florida, 1696-1774, Mary S. Mattfield
Journey To The Wilderness: Two Travelers In Florida, 1696-1774, Mary S. Mattfield
Florida Historical Quarterly
The eastern coast of the State of Florida is today heavily populated. From Jupiter Inlet north to the Georgia state line, vacation resorts and permanent communities front the Atlantic all the way. It is not easy to visualize this shore as wilderness through which a traveler could make his way only with the greatest difficulty, a cruel wilderness of burning desert and freezing exposure, of lacerating thorns and shells, and of near starvation. It is still harder to imagine the traveler on this coast beset, not only by natural perils, but also by the menace of hostile, even cannibalistic Indian …
