Acknowledgments A tremendous thank-you to the members of the Central Gulf Coast Archaeological Society and the Old Seminole Heights Neighborhood Association‟s Preservation Committee, who allowed me to work with them and learn from them for the past several years, not only participating in the research, but keeping it and my writing on track. Also to everyone who was willing to let me interview, survey, or otherwise gather ideas from them. Thank you to my mother and other relatives, who unknowingly started me on this path by taking me to so many archaeological and historical sites in my youth, and who caused me to develop an interest in Florida‟s history. Brian, thank you for never expressing any doubt that I could finish this. This dissertation would not have been possible without the help and guidance of several people. I‟d like to thank my advisor, Dr. Brent Weisman, for his suggestions and ideas on focusing an unwieldy and multifaceted topic, and my committee members for their invaluable advice and encouragement. Thank you also to the reference librarians in USF Libraries Special Collections Department, and the John F. Germany Library Florida History Collection, and to the staff at the State Archives of Florida. I especially appreciate the help of many friends, including Kelley Scudder-Temple, Matt O‟Brien, and Sharon Traxler, who patiently let me bounce ideas off them and gave me valuable feedback in return.
