VICKERS ALIFORNIA’S gold rush of 1849 and the Klondike gold rush of C 1898 pale when compared to the Florida land rush of 1925. As tales of quick profits captured the attention of the nation, the boom in paradise became the greatest speculative frenzy in his- tory.1 Florida’s climate, new roads, and low taxes had appeal, but the chance of easy money fueled the hysteria. Real estate promot- ers littered the state with “the joyful and confident devastation of development.” Anything could happen as subdivisions rose from snake-infested mangrove swamps. Not since the days of the car- petbaggers had so many opportunists and swindlers migrated south.2 Addison Mizner was the most flamboyant promoter in par- adise. Historian George Tindall described him as “one of the great charlatan-geniuses of the Twenties.” Mizner, who had become the leading architect for the leisure class of Palm Beach, designed a grandiose plan to transform Boca Raton into the world’s premier resort. Its centerpiece would be Castle Mizner, his own $1 million house, to be built on an island in the middle of Lake Boca Raton. Raymond B. Vickers is an attorney in Tallahassee and author of Panic in Para- dise: Florida’s Banking Crash of 1926. 1. Pierre Berton,

  • Boca Raton and the Florida Land Boom of the 1920S
    20 TEQUESTA Boca Raton and the Florida Land Boom of the 1920s by Donald W. Curl The Florida land boom of 1924-25 is commonly mentioned by historians of the twenties and of the South. Most of them see the boom as a phenomenon of the Miami area, though they usually mention in passing that no part of the state remained immune to the speculation fever. Certainly Miami's developments received major attention from the national press and compiled amazing financial statistics for sales and inflated prices. Still, similar activity took place throughout the state. Moreover, the real estate boom in Palm Beach County began as early as that in Miami, contained schemes that equaled that city's in their imagination and fantasy, and also captured national attention. Finally, one of these schemes, that of Addison Mizner's Boca Raton, probably served as the catalyst for exploiting the boom bubble. The Florida land boom resulted from a number of complex fac- tors. Obviously, the mild winter climate had drawn visitors to the state since the Civil War. Summer was said "to spend the winter in West Palm Beach." Now with the completion of the network of roads known as the Dixie Highway and the increasing use of the automobile, Florida became easily accessible to the cities of the northeast and midwest. For some, revolting against the growing urbanization of the north, Florida became "the last frontier." Others found romance in the state's long and colorful history and "fascination in her tropical vege- tation and scenery." Many were confident in the lasting nature of the Coolidge prosperity, and, hearing the success stories of the earliest Donald W.

  • The Effects of Variables in Oral History: Palm Beach County, Florida
    THE EFFECTS OF VARIABLES IN ORAL HISTORY: PALM BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDA by Lise M. Steinhauer A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of The Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Florida Atlantic University Boca Raton, Florida August 2010 Copyright by Lise M. Steinhauer 2010 ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS In 2004 I earned a bachelor’s degree in English at Florida Atlantic University, where Kitty Oliver introduced me to oral history. Her two courses resulted in my essay in Multicultural Reflections on “Race and Change,” ed. Kitty Oliver (Boca Raton: Bordighera Press, 2006). During two internships in Public History with the Historical Society of Palm Beach County (HSPBC), I learned a more traditional style of oral history under Debi Murray, the director of research and archives. With encouragement from Professor Oliver, I pursued this degree in Liberal Studies to combine history and communications knowledge and skills relevant to a career in oral history. This gratifying art clearly combined my three passions: history, research, and writing. When Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans in 2005, at Kitty Oliver’s suggestion, I interviewed evacuees who had been displaced to an equestrian center in Boynton Beach. My work has also included oral histories for the HSPBC, the Boca Raton Historical Society, and private clients; fifty interviews with analysis for a nonprofit’s strategic planning; he Docent Training Manual and Notables exhibit for the Richard and Pat Johnson Historical Museum of Palm Beach County; and the research and text for the HSPBC Web site, Palm Beach County History Online.

Available at: https://stars.library.ucf.edu/fhq/vol5/iss3/5 Roberts: The Dade Massacre THE DADE MASSACRE One who would write again of the Dade massacre, ninety-one years after its occurrence, must forego the expectation of discovering any great wealth of original data, and content himself in the main with the as- sembling of facts already published, and the elimina- tion of more or less doubtful detail that has crept into former narratives, in an effort to bring into stronger relief a more or less neglected story of the American soldier’s courage and fidelity unto death. Every school-child has been taught the story of the Alamo, a tragedy enacted a scarce two months after the massa- cre of the Dade command, and of the slaughter of Custer’s cavalrymen forty years later. But even Flor- ida histories have not given full prominence to this disaster of territorial days, histories of the United States scarcely mention it, and the story is not to be found in any encyclopedia.

As Geoffrey Lynfield points out in the following article, Pratt used the Foreword of what became Pioneer Life in Southeast Florida A report to the membership of (University of Miami Press, 197O), to "recognize a most excellent piece of Florida history," and to Boca Raton Historical Society, Inc.
