1910rif. 57046Lynchburg Va.: J.P. Bell Company Incorporated ca. 1910. Thoroughly Illustrated Florida Promotional Pamphlet A rare promotional booklet for Marion County Florida around the turn of the 20th century primarily focused on attracting farmers. The county's slogan "Good as the Best for Fruit and Vegetables/ Better than the Rest for 'Hog and Hominy'" adorns the first page. The final page drives home the point stressing that "This county contains good land within its boundaries.Her resources are unlimited; the industrious farmer can succeed." The pamphlet itself is mostly made up of photographic illustrations with occasional text about the climate schools and other amenities in the region. The illustrations show homes farms street scenes flora golf clubs and other recreations and more. An insert at the end comprises two postcards to be detached and mailed to the Marion County Board of Trade for further information. Marion County was greatly affected by the Great Freeze of 1894-5 which saw Orlando reach its all-time record low temperature of eighteen degrees Fahrenheit and wreaked havoc on Florida's citrus crop. Land that had cost as much as $1000 per acre in the early 1890s dropped dramatically in value and even at the time of this pamphlet's printing per-acre prices in Marion County were advertised in a range from ten to a hundred dollars. This pamphlet is quite rare; OCLC locates only two institutional copies at Duke University and the State Library of Florida. Oblong octavo. Original pictorial wrappers stapled. Minor wear. Near fine.

1910rif. 62983St. Augustine: The Record Company ca. 1910. An Early Promotional Booklet for the City Beautiful An early promotional booklet issued by the Orlando Board of Trade encouraging "all newcomers" to "visit this beautiful little city by the lakes." In an effort "to secure tourists winter and permanent residents" the publication touts the city's "superior advantages" "especially in point of situation climate freedom from troublesome insects up-to-date business houses comfortable dwellings good hotels healthfulness paved and shaded streets good schools and churches fine sporting accommodations best drinking water on earth and many other advantages too numerous to mention." The booklet is richly illustrated with halftones from photographs depicting a variety of natural civic and commercial landmarks as well as people engaged in a range of recreational activities. Among other things the illustrations show Orange Avenue the San Juan Hotel people playing golf and lawn tennis a match at the Orlando Polo Club horse-racing and the track of the Orlando Driving Park Association the recently inaugurated Automobile Carnival a newly constructed public school building the Orange County Courthouse various city churches the Rosalind Club House a young woman posing in front of a grapefruit tree and agricultural laborers working in a celery field. Also included are various images of tree-lined streets and the city's many lakes including Lake Sue Lake Minnie Lake Lucerne Lake Eola and Lake Highland. Most of the illustrations were likely taken from photographs by Clarence E. Howard 1858-1930. A native of Pennsylvania Howard first arrived in Orange County Florida in 1883 before settling permanently in Orlando in 1904. There he worked in the publishing business and as a photographer. He edited a number of publications including the Orlando Star the Orange County Reporter the Reporter-Star the Sentinel and later owned and edited the Orange County Citizen. He was active in the civic life of the community serving twelve years as city alderman and as chairman of the District School Trustees. Notably Howard was also for several years secretary of the Orlando Board of Trade the body responsible for producing the present publication. Howard is buried at Orlando's historic Greenwood Cemetery. The date of publication can be roughly surmised from a reference to an "Automobile Carnival" inaugurated a year prior to publication. We find a reference to the Orlando "Automobile Parade" in the Automobile Blue Book from as early as 1912. The present publication must therefore predate that. This copy bears an inkstamp on the titlepage saying that further information could be had from D.S. Shine of Jacksonville. An intriguing and early glimpse of life in Orlando long before it became an international tourist destination. Oblong octavo.

1811rif. 41305Washington City: A. & G. Way 1811. The report of the congressional committee appointed to evaluate the government of Mississippi Territory and the petition of the residents of West Florida what is now the southernmost portions Mississippi and Alabama to be annexed to that territory. The United States had supported the bloodless coup of Americans resident in what was then Spanish territory and annexed the land over Spain's bitter protests. Given the commercial stranglehold New Orleans and Louisiana would have on the region if West Florida were annexed to it thus giving Louisiana almost exclusive access to the Gulf the committee relying heavily on recent census data recommends that Mississippi be admitted to the Union and that West Florida as defined in the 1763 Treaty of Paris be annexed to it. The argument concludes: "The formation of new states on the southern extremity of the United States ought not to be delayed." An important step forward in the development of the Deep South. Scarce.

1943rif. List3815United States: Wide World 1943. Photograph measuring 9 x 7 inches. With caption later sticker and manuscript "NEGRO WORKERS" verso. Excellent. A 1943 press photograph of a group of African American men working on a farm in Florida's Everglades. The caption reads: "Before this luxuriant crop could be grown in the Everglades of southern Florida an elaborate system of drainage and irrigation had to be built. After 30 years the project is still unfinished; about 100000 of the Everglades swamps have been reclaimed and are under cultivation. . The problem involves turning spongy peat -- called 'muck' in the Everglades -- into farm land . Reclaimed the land is so productive that it is profitable to farm even though the elaborate reclamation project makes it expensive. It's too costly for most small landowners; so a master plan of reservoirs dikes and pumping stations is being prepared for the entire area." Draining the Everglades in an attempt to turn it into profitable farmland started with the project initiated by Governor William Sherman and continued by Governor Napoleon Bonaparte Broward who promised an "Empire of the Everglades." The project was largely a disaster; hurricanes and flooding in the late 1920s shifted the focus to damming Lake Okeechobee which in turn produced lengthy drought and fires only quenched by another round of massive flooding. However it also created the richly productive Everglades Agricultural Area perhaps best known for the sugarcane-and 1930s and 40s labor abuses-of U.S. Sugar. . Wide World unknown
