The President's Report POISED FOR THE FUTURE By GEORGE B. HOWELL, III you the membership. The key element of our efforts this year has been partnership. Successful programs and fundraising events were developed and carried out through partnerships with the H. B. Plant Museum, the Tampa/Hillsborough County History Museum, Inc., the Florida Historical Society, Mosaic, Inc. and many others. We have found strength and unity of purpose in the bonds made during the year and will continue to build on these new relationships. In July of this year, a partnership was forged which may have an impact on the Society and our community like no other before it. Your board of directors adopted unanimously a resolution to pledge our ef- forts and resources to the Tam- pa/Hillsborough County History Museum, Inc. We have embraced as our own the mission of this organization to develop and build a first class history museum in Tampa; it is a mission very closely akin to our own. It is our ultimate goal to help facilitate GEORGE B. HOWELL, III establishment of a temporary museum and, President ultimately, construction of a new building within the very near future.

" Your board has Saunders and David Falk Foundations have searched diligently over the past year to allowed us to expand our programs and determine how we can best fulfill our focus on the future. A major membership obligations to the Society's founders and to drive is currently planned to begin before year's end. I hope all of our members will not only continue their support but also generate new memberships through friends and family. Our headquarters at the Peter 0. Knight cottage will be undergoing a facelift in 1992. The home has been fumigated, the grounds refurbished, and with the help of a recent designation by the City for eligibility as a Community Contribution Tax Incentive Program, we intend to raise $60,000. to renovate the building and preserve this jewel of Hyde Park. Your board is poised and committed to the opportunities that lie ahead. We ask for your support and we welcome your comments. I would like to thank our supporters and benefactors, our partners in history and the officers and board of directors of the Society for a memorable year of fun, hard work and accomplishment. Respectfully yours, George B. Howell TAMPA'S FORGOTTEN DEFENDERS THE CONFEDERATE COMMANDERS OF FORT BROOKE By ZACK C. WATERS Second and Third Seminole Wars the Tampa garrison provided a haven of safety for the region's pioneer settlers. However, by 1860 the United States Secretary of War determined that Fort Brooke had outlived its usefulness and transferred the fort property to the Department of the Interior. Captain James McKay, a prominent Tampa businessman and politician, unsuccessfully tried to purchase the fort but did manage to lease the property from the United States.1 McKay took control of Fort Brooke on 1 January 1861, but his term of possession was shortlived. On 13 January the Gainesville mail carrier brought news of secession and the creation of "the free and independent country of Florida." The town of Tampa went wild in celebration. The quiet Sunday routine was shattered by cheer- ing, parades, speeches by politicians, prayers by the clergy, and the firing of the Fort Brooke cannons. The next day the post was occupied by the Florida State Militia under the command of Colonel William Iredell Colonel William I. Turner 2 20th Regiment Florida Militia Turner. Photo from Edge of Wilderness by Janet S. Matthews William I. (often mistakenly listed as "J") Turner, born in Virginia in 1812, had enlisted in the United States Army at age Fort Brooke was established as a military sixteen. He served in Florida during the outpost on the east bank of the Hillsborough Second Seminole War, and was wounded in River in 1824, and for the next thirty-five the neck during one of the battles with the years played a vital role in the growth and Indians. Turner was discharged from the development of southwest Florida. Tampa United States Army in 1837, and lived in had its beginnings with the businesses which Alachua County for several years, sprang up around the fort, and during the accumulating a substantial herd of cattle and agent at Fort Brooke and Fort Meade, and several slaves. During the Third Seminole with the end of hostilities sold his holdings War, Turner served as a Quarter master's near Gainesville and moved to Hillsborough known of the troops who manned the fort during Florida's national period. They were undoubtedly ardent secessionists in civilian dress, armed (if at all) with the weapons used to fightBilly Bowleg's warriors.4 Notions of a peaceful withdrawal from the Union were soon dashed, for on 17 April news reached Tampa of the firing on Fort Sumter. A flurry of military activity ensued throughout the state, and Tampa was no exception. Turner supervised the construction of a series of earthen breastworks during this period, running from Fort Brooke to a nearby Indian mound. "The trench was equipped with carts that were used as ammunition carriers. The waterfront was further protected with the emplacement of five guns." During the first year of the war many of the residents of Tampa gave wholehearted support to the Confederate cause, and the citizens and their slaves Captain John T.

  • William P. Anderson and 'The May Letters" 175
    W1LLIAM P. ANDERSON AND "THE MAY LETTERS" BY PATRICIA GIVI•S JOHNSON • Camp Springs, Ma•land The 1828 Presidential election campaign, when Andrew Jackson ran against John Quincy Adams, was one of the most acrid ever to convulse the electorate. The most controversial man yet nominated for the Presi- dency, Jackson had lived such a checkered life it was not difficult for the Adams faction to fuel their fires. Jackson was accused of everything from wife-stealing to murder. For a man who had feuded and quarreled over these issues all his adult life, these accusations were not new nor unexpected. Besides, though there was much talk, most of the oppo- sition's accusations could not be proven. The Arbuthnot and Ambrister executions in Florida were viewed by the common people as necessary actions of a military commander in wartime. Rachel Jackson's pure character and the Jacksons' abiding love in a good marriage had laid to rest the old marriage slanders. In a time when dueling was respectable and still practiced, the Charles Dickinson Duel was viewed by most voters as a matter of honor. However, there had been whispers about that duel and how honor- able Jackson had really been. The Whigs believed if the whispers could be proven they would have found their opponent's Achilles heel. But they needed some proof that Jackson had acted dishonorably in the duel which cost Dickinson his life. This proof was forthcoming when a Tennessee Whig, William P. Anderson of Nashville, formerly Jackson's friend, stepped forward with letters which indicated Jackson had acted dishonorably in the duel.

NULTY 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 1985 Copyright 1985 by William H. Nulty ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my chairman, Dr. Samuel Proctor, for his guidance, encouragement, patience, tolerance, and generosity with his time. Without his enthusiasm, incisive criticism, and many suggestions, this project would have faltered. I would also like to thank my graduate committee members, Drs. Lyle McAlister, Bertram Wyatt-Brown, Harry W. Paul of the History Department and Dr. J. W. Longstreth of the College of Education. Their professional accomplishments and attitudes have set standards I hope to emulate. I wish to express my gratitude to Elizabeth Alexander, Stephen Kerber, and the staff of the P.K. Yonge Library of Florida History, University of Florida, the St. Augustine Historical Society, the Florida Historical Society in Tampa, the Florida State Library at Tallahassee, Charlotte Ray of the Georgia State Archives, and Franklin M. Garrett of the Atlanta Historical Society. All were of great assistance in my research and consistently courteous and helpful. I wish to thank the other graduate students for their professional comraderie and assistance in so many ways. I am indebted to Dr. Kermit Hall of the History Department who was particularly inspirational in his instruction and encouraging in his assistance. PREFACE There are numerous references within this work to persons of African descent. Within the context of events during the nineteenth century, the word "colored" appears in several references to certain military units or personages as was common usage during that period.

    Florida -CjvjlV&r- Heritage Trail .•""•^ ** V fc till -/foMyfa^^Jtwr^— A Florida Heritage Publication Florida . r li //AA Heritage Trail Fought from 1861 to 1865, the American Civil War was the country's bloodiest conflict. Over 3 million Americans fought in it, and more than 600,000 men, 2 percent of the American population, died in it. The war resulted in the abolition of slavery, ended the concept of state secession, and forever changed the nation. One of the 1 1 states to secede from the Union and join the Confederacy, Florida's role in this momentous struggle is often overlooked. While located far from the major theaters of the war, the state experienced considerable military activity. At one Florida battle alone, over 2,800 Confederate and Union soldiers became casualties. The state supplied some 1 5,000 men to the Confederate armies who fought in nearly all of the major battles or the war. Florida became a significant source of supplies for the Confederacy, providing large amounts of beef, pork, fish, sugar, molasses, and salt. Reflecting the divisive nature of the conflict, several thousand white and black Floridians also served in the Union army and navy. The Civil War brought considerable deprivation and tragedy to Florida. Many of her soldiers fought in distant states, and an estimated 5,000 died with many thousands more maimed and wounded. At home, the Union blockade and runaway inflation meant crippling scarcities of common household goods, clothing, and medicine. Although Florida families carried on with determination, significant portions of the populated areas of the state lay in ruins by the end of the war.

The articles presented in this issue had been kept for forty-seven years as Miss Susie left them in two cardboard boxes. After Miss Susie's death in 1944, Mr. Luther McCall , her friend and administrator, gave the material to Dr. Rosalie Carter for safekeeping.

  • Florida's Civil War Generals
    BIOGRAPHIES OF FLORIDA’S CIVIL WAR GENERALS JAMES PATTON ANDERSON Major-General James Patton Anderson was born in Tennes- see about 1820. Like other en- terprising Americans he lived in so many different sections of the Union that it is a diffi- cult matter to decide to which State he really should be assigned in this record of Confederate generals. At the opening of the Mexi- can war he was living in Mississippi and became lieutenant-colonel of Mississippi volunteers. Al- though he had not had the advantages of an educa- tion at the United States military academy, the Mexi- can conflict proved a good school for him in the military art. The good use he made of his opportu- nities in that practical military training school was afterward evidenced by the skill with which he man- aged troops upon the great arena of war from 1861 to 1865. The man who obtained a good reputation on that great theater of action had to keep abreast of many illustrious men of the same rank with him- self, and that is what General Anderson did. After the close of the Mexican war General Anderson lived for a time in Olympia, in what was then Wash- ington Territory, and served as territorial delegate to the national House of Representatives in 1855. eBooksOnDisk.com eBooksOnDisk.com Before the opening of the Confederate war he had removed to Florida, and as a citizen of Jefferson county he was a member of the secession conven- tion. Feeling, as did most Southern men, that the South was right, he entered heart and soul into the struggle to maintain Southern rights and honor.

  • Chapter III, Dentistry in the Confederacy
    DENTISTRY IN THE CONFE D ERA C Y : 1861–1865 Chapter III DENTISTRY IN THE CONFE D ERA C Y : 1861–1865 Introduction Military dentistry seemed to be more appreciated in the Confederate army than in its Union counterpart. Records show that as early as May 13, 1861, the Confeder- ate army commissioned Dr JB Deadman as a post dentist. Perhaps this was because Confederate President Jefferson Davis, in favor of dental surgeons for the US Army when he was the secretary of war (1853–1857), was sympathetic to the dental cause.1–3 More importantly though, the challenges of fighting against the heavily populated and industrialized Union forced the Confederacy to adopt unique approaches to organizing its army and conducting a war. One of these innovations was the in- troduction of dentists and dental care in military hospitals, which resulted in the conservation of much-needed personnel and the swift return of soldiers with dental problems to their units. Although dentistry in the Confederacy suffered severely from a shortage of trained dentists and a lack of supplies, the military medical leadership displayed a consistent willingness to employ dentists in new and creative ways. Early Confederate Support for Dentistry An example of early Confederate interest in military dentistry can be seen in the 1861 Regulations for the Medical Department of the CS Army, which required that the standard medical supply table for both field service and hospitals include teeth extracting sets. The regulations allowed one set for commands of 100 to 500 sol- diers and two sets for commands of a thousand.
