Oblong octavo, paperbound (stiff stapled gray printed wrappers), 14 pp. Fine (As New). "Moonshiners, catfishermen, and cattle drivers are fewer in number amid vanishing wilderness and runaway development, but their continuing presence speaks to hardy survival traits that have marked America's southernmost frontier for many generations. These contemporary pioneers exhibit essential components of Florida's cultural diversity and history. This exhibition depicts the native lifestyles and folkways of people whose work and culture have influenced the lower Florida peninsula for nearly a century and a half. These images and sounds portray native Florida folk who belong to families that maintain self-sufficiency by scratching a living from rich natural endowments. The lower Florida peninsula remained one of the nation's most sparsely settled regions, even into the 20th century. This vast openness encouraged the way of life and activities depicted in this exhibition. Florida, Floridiana, Florida History, Cracker Culture, American Culture, Americana, U.S.-iana yslic.

This volume presents over seventy of Browns previously unpublished letters to illuminate day-to-day life in preCivil War Florida.Browns personal and business correspondence narrates his daily activities and his views on politics, labor practices, slavery, fundamentalist religion, and local gossip. Having founded a successful mercantile establishment in Newnansville, Brown traveled the region as far as Savannah and Charleston, purchasing goods from plantations and strengthening social and economic ties in two of the regions most developed cities. In the decade leading up to the Civil War, Brown married into one of the largest slaveholding families in the area and became involved in the slave trade.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Illuminates the early American period in the upper CaribbeanScourge of the Caribbean explores the mysterious and dramatic life and career of Charles E. Hawkins, a relatively unknown naval figure in early national America. Hawkins's action-packed life at sea in his brief but accomplished career reveals much about an era when the rules of the maritime world, especially in the Caribbean, were in flux. For the US Navy and its commanders, the Caribbean presented an untold number of ambiguities: revolutionary juntas, privateering, piracy, and deadly disease, all within some of the most beautiful landscapes and waterscapes on earth.Hawkins, from a well-connected family, took to the sea as a midshipman in the US Navy. Stalled promotion, economic setbacks, and blunted opportunities stymied the young officer, but ambition, combined with varied experiences and maritime pursuits, presented other prospects. At a time when individual agency mattered most, Hawkins stepped outside traditional boundaries of conduct on numerous occasions. Hawkins followed a mentor into the Mexican navy and became the most successful and feared raider of Spanish ships, earning the sobriquet "scourge" because of his raids along Cuba's northern coast. In 1835, Hawkins joined the Texas independence movement against Mexico. Within the historical narrative are lurid accounts of adultery, affairs of honor, a bloody assassination, and complicated maritime legal battles. Based on prodigious research, this lively tale will appeal to those interested in maritime and early American history and the upper Caribbean in the Age of Sail. This biography of Charles E. Hawkins uncovers the adventurous life of a daring naval officer whose exploits in the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico blurred the lines between patriotism and piracy. Through scandal, warfare, and maritime intrigue, Hawkins's story reveals the chaotic and opportunity-filled world of early-nineteenth-century naval history.
