Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unusual, richly illustrated guidebook details Florida's historic pioneer and cracker villages, describing the homes, work-ways and folk-ways of the states early settlers, through preserved and tangible objects and structures. Across the state, dedicated local historians and community groups have carefully preserved and moved 19th- and early 20th-century structures, including both homes and workplaces, to specially created villages in order to display the lives of Florida pioneers. The tools, houses, farms, gardens, barns, sugar and turpentine mills, churches and schools that are gathered into twenty separate sites are described here, for the first time in a single volume. Through the rich collections of household utensils, mills, and structures, the visitor can appreciate the details of the everyday life, work, hardships, and recreation of past generations of Floridians. The book is an indispensable handbook and guide for the casual or dedicated historic tourist as well as for parents and teachers seeking to expose young people to the vanishing lifestyles of Florida's pioneers. Contact information, hours, special events, and detailed descriptions of each structure at the sites provide the casual or dedicated visitor with both practical facts for arranging trips, and the specific family histories of the pioneers who built and lived in the homes.

Download or read book Good Bones written by Sally Wright Bayles and published by Chb Media. This book was released on 2012-11 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Good Bones is a story of courage, perseverance, and a pioneer family's lust for life. A historical memoir, it tells the story of Florida's expansion in the last decades of the 1800s, and of the slow arrival of true civilization in the Sunshine State during the early part of the twentieth century. In the years following the Civil War the federal government encouraged Americans in other states to risk their safety and comfort to settle the Florida wilderness. The Wrights and McPhersons were two families who answered that call. When children of those families were joined in matrimony, a legacy began which persists to this day. It wasn't easy. The early years were marked by battles with mosquitoes and a sometimes uneasy coexistence with the Seminole Indians. In those early years, the railroad had not yet reached past Jacksonville, roads were sketchy at best, and rivers offered the most reliable "highways" for travel. Land for citrus groves had to be carved from the dense subtropical forests. Survival required a determined and hardy breed of people, but despite their challenges, the pioneer families were bent on living life to its fullest. They enjoyed music, hunting and fishing, picnics, and, of course, they fell in love, married and raised families to be proud of. The strength of those bloodlines continues today in the ancestors of those pioneers who tamed the Florida landscape.

Download or read book The Stranahans of Fort Lauderdale written by Harry A. Kersey and published by University Press of Florida. This book was released on 2022-09-06 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two individuals who shaped the development of one of Florida's major urban centers When they married in 1900, Frank and Ivy Stranahan began a life together on the Florida frontier that would shape and define the development of one of the state's most sophisticated urban centers. Pioneering spirit and economic enterprise linked them to Seminole Indians, venture capitalists, and colorful entrepreneurs along the New River settlement; today they're recognized as a founding family of Fort Lauderdale and their riverfront home has been restored and designated a National Historic Landmark. Frank Stranahan came south from Ohio in 1893 to run an overnight camp on the stagecoach line carrying passengers from Lake Worth to the Miami area. He soon opened a trading post that thrived on commerce in pelts, plumes, and hides with Seminole Indians, who in turn purchased goods and groceries to take back to their camps in the Everglades. Stranahan's business interests expanded to include real estate and banking. An honest businessman, he became a respected political and civic leader, instrumental in the birth of Fort Lauderdale in 1911. When the Florida land boom collapsed and his bank closed, Stranahan's mental and physical health failed, and he committed suicide in 1929. Ivy Cromartie, a native Floridian, was 18 when she arrived at the settlement as its first schoolteacher and met her future husband. Energetic and articulate, she focused her activities outside the home. Besides teaching, she was active in a variety of reform movements ranging from Audubon Society efforts to save the plume birds to temperance and women's suffrage, working mainly through the Florida Federation of Women's Clubs. She is best remembered for her role as an advocate for Indigenous American rights—especially education and child welfare—primarily with the Friends of the Seminoles, an organization she established in the 1930s. Before her death in 1971 she spoke frequently about her full life to reporters and historians and was interviewed extensively by Kersey.

Download or read book The Legacy of the Florida Pioneer "Cow Hunters" written by Nancy Dale and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2011-04-26 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Florida pioneer cow hunters gave birth to the cattle industry. Florida, discovered by Spanish explorer Ponce de Leon in the 1500s, left behind cattle that roamed the peninsula hundreds of years. In the 1800s, new settlers gathered-up the scrub cattle and bred them with their herds. As cracker whips snapped, cow hunters rounded-up their herds and drove them by the thousands to coastal markets on the old cracker trails. It was a dangerous passage. The legendary cow hunters are todays ranchers. This book is about the past and the future of ranching in Florida as a new generation takes over the reins with some heirs choosing another profession and selling the family ranch. I hope the reader will reflect upon the valuable lessons these ranchers reveal about history and survival.

This book was released on 2010-12 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After killing a man in a duel, Louis Fran ois was forced to flee Florence and his privileged life of a nobleman. He started over in the French colony of St. Domingue (Haiti). He married, took on the Richard surname of his extended family, started his own family and a successful plantation. The Slave Revolt of 1791 forced them to flee. They made their way to Florida, a Spanish colony. Despite enduring the privations of pioneer life and Indian attacks, the Richards survived and even prospered. During the Patriot War of 1812, Georgian rebels devastated the area and forced the Richards to abandon their plantations. Francis Jr. returned and operated a sawmill plantation. He fathered 11 children with his slaves; educated, and provided for them all. Raising 15 children on his plantation during the "Seminole Wars," brother John Charles became the progenitor of a long line Florida Richards. While most members of the "Richard Clan" were prominent citizens, quite a few were of dubious character, and met violent deaths.
