ASSEMBLY JOURNAL. A JOURNAL OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA AT ITS FIFTH SESSION: BEGUN AND HELD IN THE CAPITOL IN THE CITY OF TALLAHASSEE ON TUESDAY JANUARY 2 1872
Tallahassee: Charles H. Walton State Printer 1872. Stitched untrimmed and uncut. 350 2 blanks 76 pp. Except for a spotted title page which is chipped at the blank corners a clean Very Good copy.<br /> <br /> An informative Journal recounting Floridians' resistance to Radical Reconstruction. Governor Harrison Reed's Message addresses ongoing disturbances and "fatal and disgraceful violence. Nine-tenths of the suffering induced has fallen upon Republicans and mainly upon colored citizens-- giving unerring evidence that these excesses have been strongly tinctured by if they have not entirely originated in political prejudice." Many murders and disruptions had occurred in Calhoun and Jackson Counties forcing citizens to flee their homes and seek shelter in other parts of the State. A Committee of Five was appointed "to examine into the cause of said murders and to ascertain why the perpetrators have not been brought to justice." <br /> The Committee concluded that "there exists an organized band whose object is to resist the laws and who are the supposed authors of the many murders and outrages committed in the county." Threats of violence and a "reign of terror" had deterred witnesses from coming forward. In Jackson County "no less than one hundred and eighty -four murders fifteen of the number being women and children and almost the entire number being colored people brutally assassinated by this band of outlaws for daring to think for themselves." Similar outrages occurred in Lafayette and other counties. <br /> Governor Reed Florida's governor from 1868-73 faced impeachment charges from this Assembly as he had in 1868 and 1870. He was later charged in sixteen Articles with illegally issuing state bonds embezzlement and bribery. The charges were dismissed. The Assembly treated other matters of government including special elections marred by violence; "an act to incorporate Brown's Theological Institute" now Edward Waters College founded in 1866 to educate former slaves and considered the oldest historically black college in Florida. Senate Bill No 82 "to be entitled an act to incorporate the Buckingham Smith Asylum for the colored people of St. Augustine" was passed. Charles H. Walton, State Printer unknown

Captioned in the negative "L.W.B. 9.14.95";<br /> 2 Lake Worth with the Royal Poinciana Hotel in the distance. Captioned in the negative "L.W.B. 9.24.95";<br /> 3 View of Lake Worth with a pier in the foreground possibly taken from a boat. Captioned in the negative "L.W.B. 10.9.95";<br /> 4 Sail boat in front of the Royal Poinciana captioned in the negative "Lake Worth" two versions with different exposure times<br /> 5 View of the Palm Beach Inn later renamed The Breakers under construction with the Royal Poinciana in the background not dated but the hotel opened in December 1895.<br /> <br /> The negatives these views were printed from are of somewhat unusual size measuring roughly 4-3/4 by 7-3/4 inches. All but one view have a horizontal orientation. Given that this size does not seem to conform to the standard halfplate negative usually 5-1/2 to 6-1/2 inches in the long direction one might speculate that the photographer made their own camera. The photographs are handcut with somewhat uneven edges and of varying finished sizes all roughly 5 by 8 inches. They are generally very good or better with some toning and spotting. Uncommon subject matter. unknown
