David Tegeder Marjorie Harris Ca rr Cross Florida G r e e n w a y From Exploitation to Conservation: A History of the Marjorie Harris Carr Cross Florida Greenway by Steven Noll and M. David Tegeder August 2003 This publication was produced in partial fulfillment of a Grant between the State of Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Office of Greenways and Trails, and the Department of Landscape Architecture, University of Florida. History Report: From Exploitation to Conservation i i Marjorie Harris Ca rr Cross Florida G r e e n w a y Acknowledgments A project of this magnitude would not have been possible without the help of literally dozens of individuals and organizations not only in the state of Florida but across the country. We would like to thank the staff of the Office of Greenways and Trails in both Tallahassee and Ocala for their assistance, patience, and excitement about our work. Much of the work of this project took place in archives and libraries and we greatly appreciate the help and support of their staffs. Without their assistance this document would be incomplete and much less interesting. As important as our archival research was the fieldwork we did in the Greenway communities. People have opened their homes and offices, as well as spent untold hours over the phone, talking about the history of the Greenway. We would like to thank those individuals who shared with us their time and their memories, and in so doing gave this document its human dimension. Finally, we want to thank our families for their patience and support throughout this project. iiHistory Report: From Exploitation to Conservation ii Marjorie Harris Ca rr Cross Florida G r e e n w a y Table of Contents Page 1 Chapter 1: Letting the Land Speak: The Greenway Corridor from Pre- Columbian Contact to Statehood Page 9 Chapter 2: Tourism, Industry, and the Exploitation of the Greenway Corridor Page 19 Chapter 3: A Dream “Fulfilled:” The Atlantic-Gulf Ship Canal of the 1930s Page 27 Chapter 4: A Dream Deferred: The Rise and Fall of the Cross Florida Barge Canal Page 37 Chapter 5: A Different Dream, A Different Vision: From Canal to Greenway Appendices A.

DENHAM (Mike) H= HOMER HOOKS M: Today we are interviewing Mr. Homer Hooks and we are going to talk today about the legacy of Lawton Chiles and hopefully follow this up with future discussions of Mr. Hooks’ business career and career in politics. Good morning Mr. Hooks. H: Good morning, Mike. M: As I mentioned, we, really, in the future want to talk about your service in World War II and also your business career, but today we would like to focus on your memories of Lawton Chiles. Even so, can you tell us a little bit about where you were born as well as giving us a brief biographical sketch? H: Yes, Mike. I was born in Columbia, South Carolina, on January 10, 1921. My family moved to Lake County actually in Florida when I was a child. I was 4 or 5 years old, I guess. We lived in Clermont in south Lake County. My grandfather was a pioneer. He platted the town of Clermont. The rest of the family also lived north of Clermont in the Leesburg area, but we considered ourselves pioneer Florida residents. Those were the days in 1926, ‘27 and ‘28 days and so forth. I grew up in Clermont - grammar school and high school and then immediately went to the University of Florida in 1939 and graduated in 1943, as some people have said, when the earth’s crust was still cooling, so long ago.

    COVER Two eastbound trains and passengers appear to be waiting at the Archer depot for a westbound train from Gainesville, ca. 1910. The wood-burning freight on the right has arrived from Cedar Key, while the coal-burning train on the left has come from the south. The line on the right is the original “Florida Railroad” built by Senator David Levy Yulee’s company. Originating in Fernandina, the line had reached Archer by 1859, and was completed to its terminus at Cedar Key in 1861. The line on the left was built to haul phosphate from the mines in the area and other freight. It eventually went all the way to Tampa. From the collection of Herbert J. Doherty, Jr. Gainesville.

Wishard The Pennsylvania State University ..................................... I. Introduction The red-cockaded woodpecker was first identified by Louis Jean Pierre Viellot in 1807 as Picoides borealis or northern woodpecker. Viellot wrongly assumed that this southern species ranged into the northern United States and Canada. In the 1880's Alexander Wilson became the first to apply to the species the common name, red-cockaded woodpecker. This gregarious woodpecker once common in the longleaf pine forests of the southeastern United States has been on the endangered species list since October 1970 (under a law that proceeded the Endangered Species Act of 1973). The red-cockaded woodpecker is cardinal-sized, measuring approximately seven inches long with a fifteen-inch wingspan. The males of the species wear a black cap, with a red streak worn like a cockade on either side. This streak is the species rarely visible but distinguishing mark and namesake. Both the male and the female of the species have a distinctive black nape which encircles large white patches on the cheek along with black and white horizontal bars on the back. The young of the species bear the same general colors and patterns of the adults, but young males will have an oval shaped patch of crimson on their crown.

    Rangelands 7(5), October 1985 205 History of the Florida Cattle Industry Lewis L. Yariett The Spanish conquistadors were Florida's first cowmen. Ponce de Leon brought a small number of Andalusia cattle on his second voyage which landed near Ft. Myers in 1521. The expedition failed to establish a colony after numerous conflictswith Indians.The few cattlewere abandonedas the remnants of the expedition fled hastily from Florida. These cattleeither were killedby thenatives, died of diseases,or as some suspect, may have been theforerunners ofthe Florida "scrub"or "cracker" cattle, but this is highly improbable. Other attempts at colonization soon followed, by DeSoto and DeLunawho reportedly broughtcattle, and theseefforts likewise failed. It was prophesied by Sir John Hawkins in 1565that Florida would somedaybecome a great cattlerais- ing region, basedon hisearl ierexperiences in the Caribbean area.

    U.S. President's Committee for Hungarian Refugee Relief

    DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER LIBRARY ABILENE, KANSAS U.S. PRESIDENT’S COMMITTEE FOR HUNGARIAN REFUGEE RELIEF: Records, 1957 A67-4 Compiled by Roland W. Doty, Jr. William G. Lewis Robert J. Smith 16 cubic feet 1956-1957 September 1967 INTRODUCTION The President’s Committee for Hungarian Refugee Relief was established by the President on December 12, 1956. The need for such a committee came about as a result of the United States’ desire to take care of its fair share of the Hungarians who fled their country beginning in October 1956. The Committee operated until May, 1957. During this time, it helped re-settle in the United States approximately 30,000 refugees. The Committee’s small staff was funded from the Special Projects Group appropriation. In its creation, the Committee was assigned the following duties and objectives: a. To assist in every way possible the various religious and other voluntary agencies engaged in work for Hungarian Refugees. b. To coordinate the efforts of these agencies, with special emphasis on those activities related to resettlement of the refugees. The Committee also served as a focal point to which offers of homes and jobs could be forwarded. c. To coordinate the efforts of the voluntary agencies with the work of the interested governmental departments. d. It was not the responsibility of the Committee to raise money. The records of the President’s Committee consists of incoming and outgoing correspondence, press releases, speeches, printed materials, memoranda, telegrams, programs, itineraries, statistical materials, air and sea boarding manifests, and progress reports. The subject areas of these documents deal primarily with requests from the public to assist the refugees and the Committee by volunteering homes, employment, adoption of orphans, and even marriage.

  • Salt River Watershed Inventory and Assessment Document

    Salt River Watershed Inventory and Assessment Document

    Salt River WATERSHED INVENTORY AND ASSESSMENT DOCUMENT PREPARED BY: H. Ross Dames and Brian Todd Missouri Department of Conservation For additional information contact Fisheries Regional Supervisor Missouri Department of Conservation 2500 South Halliburton, Kirksville, MO 63501 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Salt River basin drains 2,914 square miles of northeastern Missouri and lies in the Dissected Till Plains physiographic region. The North Fork, South Fork, and lower Salt River sub-basins compose 32%, 42%, and 27% of the basin, respectively. Clarence Cannon Dam, located on the Salt River approximately 63 miles upstream from its confluence with the Mississippi River, forms the 18,600 acre Mark Twain Lake. There are 165 third-order and larger streams in the basin. The North Fork Salt River is the longest stream flowing about 119 miles. In the upper portion of the basin, where local relief is low, glacial till is overlain by loess deposits in most areas. In the valleys of the Middle and South fork sub-basins, streams have eroded to expose limestone bedrock and shales. In the central part of the basin around Mark Twain Lake, relief increases and exposed limestone and shales in the valley walls and streambeds are more prevalent. Till quickly shallows in the lower Salt River sub-basin as valleys become more abrupt with high relief. A relief of 440 feet is attained the lower end of the Salt River basin. Soils throughout most of the basin are typical of the Central Claypan Region, except in the extreme lower portion that is located in the Central Mississippi Valley Wooded Slopes region.
