AUGUSTINE AND THE SUBSIDY AND PRIVATE CONTRACT SYSTEMS, 1680-1702 by WILLIAM R. GILLASPIE HE last two decades of the seventeenth century were critical Tyears in determining the eighteenth-century destiny of the entire breadth of the Spanish borderlands in North America. Overshadowing the outcome of the international rivalry over the continent were three changing tenets in international law during the last third of the seventeenth century. The first was Spain’s acceptance of “freedom of the seas” in place of mare clausum (closed sea) whereby she had sought exclusivism of the waters adjacent to its territorial holdings. Another changing tenet, to Spain’s advantage, was the European abandonment of “no peace beyond the line” (of demarcation) whereby aggressive acts committed in America would have no effect on peaceful re- lations among the European powers. Privateers had used this tenet to their advantage, as well as had Spain’s rivals in Europe, and would continue to do so into the early eighteenth century. The third, and most significant change, was Spain’s acceptance of a new tenet, uti possidetis (as you now possess), whereby “effective occupation alone gives valid title to colonial lands and the rights acquired by prior discovery are only effective if they are followed up by settlement.“1 Formalized by treaties, the most important was the Treaty of Madrid, signed in 1670. Under it Spain recognized the English settlements in America on the condition that they would not engage in contraband trade with the Spanish dependencies. The boundary between English Caro- lina and the Spanish Florida provinces was fixed on a line running due west from a point in Port Royal Sound approxi- mately sixty miles south of Charleston.2 By this time England and William R. Gillaspie is professor of history at Memphis State University, Memphis, Tennessee. 1. A. B. Newton, The European Nations in the West Indies, 1493-1699 (London, 1933), 334-35. 2. At the time, Spain divided Florida into four provinces: Guale, located in [273] Published by STARS, 1983 7 Florida Historical Quarterly, Vol. 62 [1983], No. 3, Art. 1 274 FLORIDA HISTORICAL QUARTERLY France posed the major threats to the former Spanish exclusivism, but England would prove to be the most successful in adjusting to this new tenet. Lacking the population, and as a means of economizing, the Spanish crown continued using the presidio-mission system as a means to expand and defend the borderlands.3 The twenty-year interim, 1680-1700, decided the state of preparedness of the Spanish borderlands as the War of the Spanish Succession (1700- 1715) extended into North America where it was called Queen Anne’s War. The most serious and dramatic extension of that war would be the siege of St. Augustine in 1702. Using the European war as an excuse, Governor James Moore, with his Indian allies, led an expedition from Charleston into Guale where he destroyed Franciscan missions en route to St. Augustine. St. Augustine was burned and looted, but Moore failed to take the Spanish fortress, the Castillo de San Marcos, which served as a final place of refuge for the Florida population. In an attempt to redeem himself, Moore again led expeditions into Florida, 1703-1708, with the Franciscan missions in Apalache as his principal targets. He virtually eradicated the few remaining missions and committed atrocities against the friars themselves.4 During the two decades prior to the war and the siege of St. Augustine, uncertainties and potential crises loomed in northern New Spain and the lower Mississippi Valley regions.

  • 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 Architectural Style of Bay Pines VAMC
    The Architectural Style of Bay Pines VAMC Lauren Webb July 2011 The architectural style of the original buildings at Bay Pines VA Medical Center is most often described as “Mediterranean Revival,” “Neo-Baroque,” or—somewhat rarely—“Churrigueresque.” However, with the shortage of similar buildings in the surrounding area and the chronological distance between the facility’s 1933 construction and Baroque’s popularity in the 17th and 18th centuries, it is often wondered how such a style came to be chosen for Bay Pines. This paper is an attempt to first, briefly explain the Baroque and Churrigueresque styles in Spain and Spanish America, second, outline the renewal of Spanish-inspired architecture in North American during the early 20th century, and finally, indicate some of the characteristics in the original buildings which mark Bay Pines as a Spanish Baroque- inspired building. The Spanish Baroque and Churrigueresque The Baroque style can be succinctly defined as “a style of artistic expression prevalent especially in the 17th century that is marked by use of complex forms, bold ornamentation, and the juxtaposition of contrasting elements.” But the beauty of these contrasting elements can be traced over centuries, particularly for the Spanish Baroque, through the evolution of design and the input of various cultures living in and interacting with Spain over that time. Much of the ornamentation of the Spanish Baroque can be traced as far back as the twelfth century, when Moorish and Arabesque design dominated the architectural scene, often referred to as the Mudéjar style. During the time of relative peace between Muslims, Christians, and Jews in Spain— the Convivencia—these Arabic designs were incorporated into synagogues and cathedrals, along with mosques.

That works well for the many organizations who maintain consistent dates year over year or who announce deadlines with a commensurate lead time. Some, however, announce deadlines at shorter intervals, and that seems especially true during this season when one year rolls into the next. Several opportunities in this newsletter have deadlines in early January through February, so be mindful of the timing.

Craddock University of California, Berkeley Published under the auspices of the Cíbola Project Research Center for Romance Studies Institute of International Studies University of California, Berkeley Facsimiles published with the permission of Dirección General del Patrimonio Universitario Instituto de Investigaciones Bibliográficas Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Biblioteca Nacional de México Preface Fray Alonso de Benavides, chief (custodio) of the Franciscan missions in New Mexico 1626-1629, is best known for his account of New Mexico published in 1630 under the title of Memorial 1. In it2 he devotes a chapter to the “Conversión milagrosa de la nación Xumana” in which he gives an account of a mysterious lady, dressed in a blue habit, who preached Christianity to the Indians of the plains east of New Mexico. Upon seeing this figure, the Indians sought out Franciscan missionaries to request conversion and baptism. When Benavides went to Spain in 1631 imagine his surprise and delight when he learned that Sor María de Jesús, abbess of the convent of Ágreda3, claimed to have been making regular spiritual voyages to New Mexico at the very time when the “lady in blue” appeared among the Indians. After interviewing her, he concluded María was the very same person, and arranged for her testimony in the form of a letter to the friars of New Mexico dated April 15, 1631, to be transmitted to them in a letter of his own.

Available at: https://stars.library.ucf.edu/fhq/vol17/iss4/4 Boyd: Spanish Mission Sites in Florida MISSION SITES IN FLORIDA An attempt to approximately identify the sites of Spanish mission settlements of the seventeenth century in northern Florida By MARK F. BoYD The story of the mission settlements established by the Franciscan fathers in northern Florida sub- sequent to 1633 still awaits telling. It cannot be adequately told until the Spanish archives are care- fully searched. Random documents recently available from these sources confirm the meager accounts left by hostile Carolinians, indicating that this region was occupied by numerous thriving settlements of Christianized Indians who practiced a successful agriculture. When the expanding radius of the border struggles between the English and Spanish colonies finally reached Apalache, this golden period was brought to an abrupt close in 1704. Information available to subsequent British and American colonists and settlers was largely derived from Indian tradition, and the missions had already assumed a legendary character among the ultimate Anglo-Saxon oc- cupants of the region before the earliest available of the Spanish accounts were brought to attention.
