College students and gradu- ates from across the state, including IDEAS Chapters and the Student Chapter of the Wildlife Society at UF, held a youth summit which discussed issues pertaining to En- ergy, Food, Waste, Water and Ecology and sought solutions to the challenges within the five categories for the state of Florida. A call to action was established at the end of the conference for all youth attendees to get involved in local, state and national issues. At- tendees were all present for Saturday evening’s banquet. On Saturday night, June 16, the 75th Annual Conservation Awards Banquet took place at the St. Petersburg Bayfront Hilton. Nineteen individuals and groups received award statuettes from the Federation, including the FWF Hall of Fame designation going to Governor Bob Graham, David Guest, Monica Reimer and Juanita Greene. Governor Graham was the keynote speaker for the banquet and also served as the coordinator of a workshop for FWF’s officers, directors, affiliates and staff on how to be an effective lob- byist/advocate. Former Senator Lee Constantine was also a facilitator at the workshop. Friday night, June 15, FWF hosted a special party at Weedon Island Preserve. FWF was very pleased to have Elam Stoltzfus, Carlton Ward and Joe Guthrie present to de- scribe their adventures as members of the Florida Wildlife Corridor Expedition team.

    Central Gulf Coast Archaeological Society 41 YEARS OF PROMOTING FLORIDA’S RICH HERITAGE CGCAS IS A CHAPTER OF THE FLORIDA ANTHROPOLOGICAL SOCIETY Newsletter | OCTOBER 2019 | Thursday, October 17th, 7pm Adventures in Downtown Tampa Archaeology- The Lost Fort Brooke Cemetery and 100-Year-Old Love Letters to the Steamer Gopher Eric Prendergast, MA RPA, Senior Staff Archaeologist, Cardno Almost everywhere you dig in southern downtown Tampa, near the water front, there are some remains from the infamous military installation that gave rise to the town of Tampa in the early 1800s. It has long been known that Fort Brooke had two cemeteries, but only one of them was ever found and excavated in the 1980s. Recent excavations across downtown Tampa have focused on the hunt for the second lost cemetery, among many other components of the fort. While testing the model designed to locate the cemetery, a sealed jar was discovered, crammed full of letters written in 1916. The letters were mailed to someone aboard C. B. Moore’s steamer Gopher, while the ship completed it’s 1916 expedition on the Mississippi River. What were they doing buried in a parking lot in Tampa? Eric is a transplant from the northeast who has only lived in Tampa since 2012, when he came to graduate school at USF. Since then he has worked in CRM and has recently served as Principal Investigator for major excavations in Downtown Tampa and for the Zion Cemetery Project, Robles Park Village. The monthly CGCAS Archaeology Lecture series is sponsored by the Alliance for Weedon Island Archaeological Research and Education (AWIARE) and held at the Weedon Island Preserve Cultural and Natural History Center in St Petersburg.

    SILVER SPRINGS: THE FLORIDA INTERIOR IN THE AMERICAN IMAGINATION By THOMAS R. BERSON A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2011 1 © 2011 Thomas R. Berson 2 To Mom and Dad Now you can finally tell everyone that your son is a doctor. 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS First and foremost, I would like to thank my entire committee for their thoughtful comments, critiques, and overall consideration. The chair, Dr. Jack E. Davis, has earned my unending gratitude both for his patience and for putting me—and keeping me—on track toward a final product of which I can be proud. Many members of the faculty of the Department of History were very supportive throughout my time at the University of Florida. Also, this would have been a far less rewarding experience were it not for many of my colleagues and classmates in the graduate program. I also am indebted to the outstanding administrative staff of the Department of History for their tireless efforts in keeping me enrolled and on track. I thank all involved for the opportunity and for the ongoing support. The Ray and Mitchum families, the Cheatoms, Jim Buckner, David Cook, and Tim Hollis all graciously gave of their time and hospitality to help me with this work, as did the DeBary family at the Marion County Museum of History and Scott Mitchell at the Silver River Museum and Environmental Center. David Breslauer has my gratitude for providing a copy of his book.
