Creating
an Old South: Middle Florida's Plantation Frontier before the Civil War
by Edward
E. Baptist
Book Description: Set on the antebellum southern frontier, this
book uses the history of two counties in Florida's panhandle to tell the
story of the migrations, disruptions, and settlements that made the plantation
South.
Soon after the United States acquired Florida from Spain in 1821, migrants
from older southern states began settling the land that became Jackson
and Leon Counties. Slaves, torn from family and community, were forced
to carve plantations from the woods of Middle Florida, while planters and
less wealthy white men battled over the social, political, and economic
institutions of their new society.
Conflict between white men became full-scale crisis in the 1840s, but
when sectional conflict seemed to threaten slavery, the whites of Middle
Florida found common ground. In politics and everyday encounters, they
enshrined the ideal of white male equality--and black inequality. To mask
their painful memories of crisis, the planter elite told themselves that
their society had been transplanted from older states without conflict.
But this myth of an "Old," changeless South only papered over the struggles
that transformed slave society in the course of its expansion. In fact,
that myth continues to shroud from our view the plantation frontier, the
very engine of conflict that had led to the myth's creation.

From
the Swamp to the Keys: A Paddle Through Florida History
by Johnny Molloy
Book Description: Johnny Molloy, author of several best-selling
outdoor guides to Florida, is always game for adventure. In his latest,
he travels the Sunshine State from north to south along some of its most
famous rivers, swamps, salt marshes, and open waters in search of Florida's
disappearing history.
This personal travelogue of his two-month expedition begins in a canoe
at the Okefenokee Swamp, headwaters of Florida's best-known river. Paddling
the dark Suwannee, Molloy curves through the scenic and sometimes wild
Big Shoals, past sparkling clear springs--Troy and Turtle and Rock Bluff
and more--to the Gulf of Mexico, where he transfers his grub, life jacket,
and portable computer into a sea kayak. He continues past Tampa Bay into
the Everglades and then heads due south, ending his voyage at Long Key
and the Atlantic Ocean.
Molloy focuses here on the state's history, human and natural, and on
the interplay between the land and the water around it. He describes attempts
made through the centuries to explore them, conquer them, and, finally,
to coexist with and preserve them. He also invites readers to eavesdrop
on his conversations with characters along the way, from anglers on the
Suwannee River to crabbers off the shore of Everglades City.
Best of all, Molloy invites readers to join him on this remarkable excursion
-- either from their armchairs, following his references to bridges, highways,
and towns along the route and charting his journey on the maps provided,
or by taking to the water themselves--to soak up the sunshine and soft
Florida air, to listen to the evening frogs and crickets, and to ponder
the mystery of what has been lost in Florida and what might yet be saved.
