  • The Advent of the Spanish-American War in Florida, 1898
    THE ADVENT OF THE SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR IN FLORIDA, 1898 by WILLIAM J. SCHELLINGS N FEBRUARY 1, 1898, the Jacksonville Times Union and Citizen angrily denounced General Nelson Miles for what it termed an attempt to waste the taxpayers’ money. Miles had appeared before a Congressional committee with a plea for funds with which to build fortifications around Washington. The Jack- sonville editor declared that there was “no war in sight,” and that the money might better be spent on the construction of an intra- coastal waterway, a project already looming large in the minds of many Floridians. His denial of any need for defenses was merely another manner of expressing his stubborn opposition to anything that might encourage people to think that war with Spain might result from the Cuban crisis. His attitude on this matter was the same as that of other Florida editors, all of whom believed that war would be harmful to Florida’s future. 1 In the short period of one month it was evident that his attitude had changed. On March 2 the same paper published another editorial on the same subject, the need for coastal forti- fications. This time the editor pointed out that all of Florida’s cities were completely defenseless, and that all of them depended to a large degree on their trade with other ports for their liveli- hood. He also pointed out that in the event of war with Spain, these same cities would be more exposed to attack than any others, simply because of the fact that they were so close to Cuba.

In order to create the book, an overview of the PHMC Civil War holdings was necessary. A SIR collaborative project was funded early in 2002, and Dr. James P. Weeks of the Pennsylvania State University History Department was chosen to create the survey, working with Linda Ries of the Archives staff.

  • Births, Marriages & Deaths from the Lehighton Press 1908-1909
    Births, Marriages & Deaths From The Lehighton Press, 1908-1909 This is the ninth in a series of vital records extracted from the Lehighton Newpaper, The Lehighton Press. As my source I am using microfilm from The State Library of Pennsylvania. Like the previous extracts, in extracting the births, marriages & deaths, I have not included the following types of items: 1. Items that did not pertain to Carbon or the surrounding counties. I excluded anything west and south of Berks County, and south of Lehigh & Northampton Counties. I generally included anything north of Carbon county. 2. Estate notices. 3. Murder trials. 4. Coroner inquests when they are not part of the original death notice. In extracting these records, I have copied items as completely and exactly as possible. I have not attempted to correct any spelling errors. If I felt a need to add any text, I did so in brackets. Although most of the papers on microfilm were easy to read, there were some times where the image quality made things difficult. Because of this, researchers are advised to consult the original records. Volume 30, Number 38, Friday, January 3, 1908 Paragraphic Photographs By The Press' Prim Pencil Pushers. Miss Alice Blank, of town, and Frederick DeLange, of Easton, were married at Mauch Chunk on Thursday by Rev. James Cattanach. Their many friends unite in best wishes.
