D ROBNEY N 1912 journalist Marc Goodnow visited the pine forests of I north Florida seeking information for an article he was writ- ing on the turpentine industry. Goodnow’s findings, which ap- peared in an exposé entitled “Turpentine: Impressions of the Convicts’ Camps of Florida,” shocked the nation. In the article Goodnow described how he stood in horror and watched as a black convict was forced to be a “runner” in a deadly game of hide and seek. In this weekly occurrence, which trained camp dogs to track down escaped convicts, the man was given a five- minute head start and then required to lead the dogs on a chase through the swamps and saw-palmetto thickets of the forest. Goodnow described the chaotic scene: “Suddenly the baying of hounds grew near and raucous; every tree became a sounding- board—a voice in itself. Nearer and nearer came a great scuffl- ing and crunching. A man plowed his way through the mat of dead leaves, grass, and pine needles—a negro running long, his face burnished with sweat, casting furtive glances over his shoul- der. On his body was the flannel garb of a convict. For a moment the swift impression of witnessing an escape flashed through the spectators [sic] brain, but there was not the slightest chance of that. The dogs were beating through the palmetto growth like an avalanche down a mountain side—six of them, their di- lated nostrils scenting the ground every few leaps, tongues hanging dry from their vicious mouths. Great drops of sweat flooded the receding forehead of the hunted black; sweat glued his striped shirt to his muscle-taut body; to one foot clung a coarse shoe; his trousers were torn and frayed from contact Jeffrey A.

The convict took one last look across his shoulder and then: “With an agility surprising to see in a body seemingly spent from long pursuit, the black arms shot up, the legs came up under the thick trunk, and the Negro in one giant, primitive spring, had landed six or seven feet up the stock of a virgin pine—straddling it as a gorilla would a grapevine—and ‘shinned’ on up to a place well beyond the reach of the dogs.

Archaeological and Historic Preservation Consultants Atlanta, Georgia Charleston, South Carolina Jacksonville, Florida MANAGEMENT SUMMARY This project was initiated in August of 2008 by Bland & Associates, Incorporated (BAI) of Jacksonville, Florida. The goal of this project was to identify and record a specific type of historic resource located within rural areas of St. Johns County in the general vicinity of Elkton and Hastings. This assessment was specifically designed to examine structures listed on the St. Johns County Property Appraiser’s website as being built prior to 1920. The survey excluded the area of incorporated Hastings. The survey goals were to develop a historic context for the farmhouses in the area, and to make an assessment of the farmhouses with an emphasis towards individual and thematic National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) potential. Florida Master Site File (FMSF) forms in a SMARTFORM II database format were completed on all newly surveyed structures, and updated on all previously recorded structures within the survey area.

Florida was a state for just sixteen years before secession set it apart from the rest of the Union, but Florida’s road to secession was as unique as any of its southern counterparts. From the territorial days in the early nineteenth century, Florida’s political culture centered on the development and protection of slavery throughout the state.

    Jacksonville’s LEGACY AFRIcan — AMERICAN HERITAGE TRAIL JACKSONVILLE HISTORIC PEOPLE & PLACES FIRST EDITION September 2013 QuickTime™ and a decompressor are needed to see this picture. Dear Friends: As mayor, s it i my pleasure to celebrate with you Jacksonville’s wealth of history, a cultural heritage that made our fair city what it is today. In its early days, our city uld was known as a place where cattle co cross the St. John’s River. Jacksonville was later named in honor of Andrew Jackson, first military governor of Florida and later president of the United States, and received its first charter in 1832. A great fire leveled much of the city in 1901, scouring across more than a hundred city blocks. Reflective of its citizens’ resilience, Jacksonville quickly got back on its feet. Lives were pieced back together as piers, buildings, docks and shipyards. Architects flocked to Jacksonville to build upon our, essentially, blank slate. In fact, our City Hall is now located in one of Henry J. Klutho’s structures, the St. James Building, which th celebrates its 100 anniversary this year. The historical legacy of African Americans in our community represents an important part of our past. Immediately after the Civil War, Jacksonville’s neighboring town, LaVilla, was predominantly African American. In the town’s short 18 year history, most of its political officers were African American. In later years, LaVilla became the cultural and economic center for African Americans in Jacksonville and surrounding areas. Many distinguished African Americans have called Jacksonville home including James Weldon Johnson, A.
