Anna Madgigine Jai Kingsley: African Princess, Florida Slave, Plantation Slaveowner

Anna Madgigine Jai Kingsley: African Princess, Florida Slave, Plantation Slaveowner Review

Anna Kingsley's life story adds a dramatic chapter to histories of the South, the state of Florida, and the African diaspora. Working from surprisingly extensive records, including information and photographs from extended-family members and descendants, Daniel Shafer reconstructs and documents one slave’s remarkable story.

Both an American slave and a slaveowner--and possibly an African princess--Anna was a teenager when she was captured in her homeland of Senegal in 1806 and sold into slavery. Zephaniah Kingsley, Jr., a planter and slave trader from Spanish East Florida, bought her in Havana, Cuba, and took her to his St. Johns River plantation in northeast Florida, where she soon became his household manager, his wife, and eventually the mother of four of his children. Her husband formally emancipated her in 1811, and she became the owner of her own farm and twelve slaves the following year.

For 25 years, life on her farm and at the Kingsley plantation on Fort George Island was relatively tranquil. But when Florida passed from Spanish to American control, and racism and discrimination increased in the American territories, Anna Kingsley and her children migrated to a colony in Haiti established by her husband as a refuge for free blacks. Amid the spiraling racial tensions of the antebellum period, Anna returned to north Florida, where she bought and sold land, sued white people in the courts, and became a central figure in a free black community. Such accomplishments by a woman in a patriarchal society are fascinating in themselves. To have achieved them as a woman of color is remarkable.

Illustrated species accounts detail the history and nature of each, the mode of dispersal, natural history, and present-day habitat and geographic distribution in the state. The impact of these animals is measured by their presence in natural systems of Florida and predator-prey interactions with native and other exotic species. The authors update the list of the documented exotic species in Florida and provide a progress report on new and published natural history information for each established species. An afterword examines the role people have played in the success of these species.

The Battle of Marianna, Florida: Expanded Edition

The Battle of Marianna, Florida: Expanded Edition Review

The Battle of Marianna, Florida was fought on September 27, 1864, at the culmination of the deepest penetration of Confederate Florida by Union forces during the entire Civil War. A small but highly significant battle, it involved some of the fiercest fighting of the war in Florida. An "urban battle" fought house to house and street to street in a time before that term had come into general usage, the battle at Marianna was intense and bloody and was remembered by many veteran participants as one of the most intense short range fights of the war. The Battle of Marianna, Florida follows the entire course of General Alexander Asboth's Northwest Florida raid and also details the fighting that took place at Eucheeanna, Campbellton and Vernon. The raid's impact on the entire panhandle region is carefully detailed.

Growth Management in Florida (Urban Planning and Environment)

Growth Management in Florida (Urban Planning and Environment) Review

This volume offers the first detailed assessment of the Florida growth management experience, a system that has received only piecemeal attention from researchers despite its historical significance and its state-mandated comprehensive planning approach. Because Florida's approach is the most detailed system for managing growth in the US, one that embraces planners and planning in the day-to-day governance of all areas of the state, this book will be of great value to the planning profession as it offers an assessment of one of the most planning-affirmative policy approaches in the United States. With contributions from national experts on land use planning and growth management, this volume offers an assessment of the outcomes of the Florida's approach to managing growth. Over the course of the book, the strengths and weaknesses of the state's approach are identified, providing insights into how and when to manage land use change in a state continuously inundated by growth. In evaluating the successes and failures of the Florida approach, planners and policy makers throughout the United States will learn lessons about how and how not to implement growth management policies at both the state and local level. Overall, while the authors concur that growth management has had a positive impact on restricting growth in Florida, the economic, demographic, and political pressures for continued growth in Florida make it difficult to restrict growth in a way that has had a major impact on the state's natural and built environment-Florida continues to be a sprawling state that is rapidly expanding its urbanized areas even though growth management appears to have had an impact on limiting the spread of growth still further.

Travel the roads and waterways of Delray Beach history through lovingly collected postcards. In the 1890s, a diverse group of settlers began gathering on the southeast coast of Florida to build a new community. These pioneers sought the freedom, adventure, and economic opportunity provided by the new Florida East Coast Railway. Delray's population was distinctive for its respect for education, early interest in the arts, love of sports, religious faith, and bonds of community. By the 1920s, the farming-fishing settlement had blossomed into a sparkling resort town with a thriving winter colony. This unfolding story of Delray Beach and the surrounding vicinity is presented from the Delray Beach Historical Society Archives and private collections.
