ASHLEY The Atlantic coastline of northeastern Florida and the broader St. Marys region from coastal and southeastern Georgia has long been perceived areas to the south at various times throughout as somewhat of an archaeological oddity from the native history. standpoint of ceramic chronology. Often labeled Northeastern Florida traditionally has been a frontier or transitional area, its unique native subsumed geographically within the boundaries history sometimes paralleled that of the St. Johns of the St. Johns or East and Central Florida region to the south, at other times resembled that region to the south. As such, pre-Columbian of the Georgia coast to the north, and at still other cultural developments were assumed to follow times had its own local developments (Russo, the same St. Johns I–II chronological sequence 1992). Although acknowledging the uniqueness (Goggin, 1952: 15; Milanich and Fairbanks, of the frontier area, archaeologists in the past 1980: 28–30). Recent research incorporating have attempted to impose chronologies and dates both new information and a reassessment of old from adjacent areas and make them square with data, however, has clearly demonstrated that this local archaeological data, which has proven to was not the case (Russo, 1992: Milanich, 1994: be quite frustrating.

  • The History of Echockotee Lodge #200 Est
    WE ARE BROTHERS The History of Echockotee Lodge #200 Est. 1941 WWW 76th Anniversary Edition First a Spark, then a Flame As one of the four official experimental programs in the early years of the Boy Scouts of America, the Order of the Arrow’s growth was due to the word-of-mouth advertising between council executives, seeing its successes and bringing the Order into their own programs. This was at a time when each of the experimental programs were to grow at their own natural pace, and it was only through personal contact and observation could the Order grow. In February of 1937, in Columbia, South Carolina, a meeting of the executives of the old Region Six was held. These leaders, coming from North and South Carolina, Georgia, most of Florida, parts of Alabama, and the Panama Canal Zone, met with members of the National Program staff, including E. Urner Goodman, the founder of the Order of the Arrow. In his capacity of Director of Program, for the BSA, he was in a position to offer his expert advice on the Order and its potential in camp and council activities. In the ten years following that meeting, 34 of the 40 lodges in Region Six were chartered by the National office. Seeds planted in that meeting were tended by nearby executives familiar with the benefits brought by the Order, and from those leaders of nearby lodges came the establishment of other lodges; such was the case with the establishment of Echockotee Lodge 200. Since 1910, the Boy Scouts of America has maintained a high profile in the Jacksonville, Florida area.

DESCRIPTORS *American Indian History; *Black History; *Colonial History (United States); Higher Education; *Indigenous Populations; Secondary Education; *Slavery; State History IDENTIFIERS *Florida ABSTRACT The history of the lives of non-white peoples in the United States largely has been neglected although the Spanish bureaucrats kept meticulous records of the Spanish Mission period in Florida. These records represent an important source for the cultural history of these groups and offer new perspectives on the tri-racial nature of frontier society. Africans as well as Indians played significant roles in Spain's settlement of the Americas. On arrival in Florida the Africans ran away from the," captors to Indian villages. The Spanish, perceiving an alliance of non-white groups, sought to separate them, and passed special legislation forbidding living or trading between the two groups. There were continuous episodes of violence by the Indians who resisted Spanish labor and tribute demands, efforts to convert them, and changes in their social practices. Villages were reduced to mission sites where they could more readily supply the Spaniards with food and labor. Indian and black surrogates were used to fight the English and helped build the massive stone fort at St. Augustine. The end of the Spanish Mission system came with the war of 1700, English forces from the Carolinas raided mission sites killing thousands of Indians and taking many into slavery.

  • Timucua Indians
    History of Fort Caroline The U.S. National Park Service (2012) Timucua Indians: "They be all naked and of goodly stature, mighty, faire and as well shapen…as any people in all the worlde, very gentill, curtious and of good nature… the men be of tawny color, hawke nosed and of a pleasant countenance…the women be well favored and modest…” French explorer Jean Ribault was impressed by the first native peoples he encountered in Florida. The Timucuans under Chief Saturiwa, who met the French at the mouth of the River of May in 1562, were one of a number of Timucua-speaking tribes who inhabited central and north Florida and southeastern Georgia. They were the final stage of a culture whose way of life had remained essentially unchanged for more than 1000 years. A Foothold in Florida: During the sixteenth century, France was determined to expand its empire. Spain, the world’s leading power, already had a foothold in the Americas, and France wanted a share of the riches the Spanish were gaining through trade and plunder. France’s first attempt to stake a permanent claim in North America was at La Caroline, a settlement near the mouth of the St. Johns River in Florida. At first, the settlement was to be a commercial venture, but religious conflict in France broadened the goals. The growing persecution of French Protestants (Huguenots) led their most powerful member, Admiral Gaspard de Coligny, to make a proposal to the crown: the colony could also be a refuge for Huguenots. An exploratory expedition, commanded by Jean Ribault, left France in February 1562.

  • Creating Cumberland Island National Seashore
    @3 Creating Cumberland Island National Seashore During the later years of the Lucy Car- negie trust, the heirs considered a variety of options for the island’s future: cattle ranching, hotel and recreation development, titanium mining, and outright sale to developers. Each of these decisions conflicted with a core belief that the futures of the Carnegie family and Cumberland Island were irrevocably linked. This attachment was by no means universal among the heirs, but it was a strong bond that crossed generations in the five family branches. In the important meetings of the late 1940s and early 1950s, the heirs sought a way to maintain the island’s character and their presence on it. These desires crystallized into an invitation to the National Park Service to consider Cumberland Island as a possible new park. The agency responded quickly and enthusiastically, initiating a nearly two-decade process that led to the creation of Cumberland Island National Seashore in 1972. As is typi- cal with efforts to establish new units of the national park system, especially those where the federal government does not already own the land, the road to legislative establishment was littered with obstacles, unwelcome compe- tition, and considerable division of opinion among all the people with a stake in Cumberland Island’s future. The National Park Service and Coastal Recreation Congress established the National Park Service on August 25, 1916, to man- age an aggregate of thirty-five national parks and monuments located pri- marily in the West.1 The secretary of the interior chose two men to lead the 76 young agency, the first director, Stephen Mather, and his lieutenant and Creating Cumberland Island National Seashore 77 successor, Horace Albright.
