<div class="MsoNormal">
David Levy Yulee (1810-1886) was an attorney, planter,
entrepreneur, and statesman, who was instrumental to Florida’s Statehood, and
its development via the Florida Railroad. He was born on the Island of St.
Thomas, Virgin Islands, on June 12, 1810 to Moses Elias Levy, a successful
merchant and landowner of Moroccan Sephardi Jewish descent, and his wife Hannah.
His parents divorced in 1815, and David came to Florida with his father, before
being sent to boarding school in Norfolk, Virginia. He returned to Florida as a
young man, and studied law in St. Augustine under future Territorial Governor
Robert Reid (1839-1841). David Levy was
admitted to the Florida Bar in 1832. He began his political career as a
delegate to Florida’s state constitutional convention in 1838, and later became
a clerk for the territorial legislature.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In 1841 he was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives as
a delegate from the Florida Territory. Levy was a tireless champion of
Florida’s statehood, and was part of an assembly responsible for drafting the
new state’s constitution. When Florida entered the Union on March 3<sup>rd</sup>,
1845, he became one of the state’s first new senators – and the first Jewish
member of the U.S. Senate. In 1846 Levy married Nannie Wickliffe (daughter of
former Kentucky Governor Charles A. Wickliffe), and officially changed his name
to David Levy Yulee by an act of Florida Legislature. Senator Yulee served as
chairman of the Committee of Private Land Claims, and the Committee of Naval
Affairs.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After failing to win a bid for reelection in 1851 (in a
controversial decision), Yulee began to focus on his plan for a cross-state
Florida Railroad, with one terminus on the West Coast of the state at Cedar
Key, and the other on the East Coast at Fernandina. Yulee established the
railroad’s main office at Fernandina, but finding the town’s original location
unsuitable, he convinced most of Fernandina’s residents to relocate the center
of town approximately one mile south - to its present location. Yulee envisioned
Fernandina as “the Manhattan of the South,” and had the new town plotted
accordingly (complete with its own Central Park). <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Yulee returned to the U.S. Senate in 1855, and was an
advocate of states’ rights and later secession from the Union. His fierce views
and passionate oration led his fellow senators to refer to him as the “Florida
Fire Eater.” Yulee believed that if the number of free states in the Union
outnumbered the slave states, the south would be overwhelmed by the north politically.
This view, along with allowing his children to be raised Christian, estranged
Yulee from his father, Moses Levy. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Construction began on the Florida Railroad in September of 1855.
As with most of the track laid in the south before the Civil War, the work was
done mostly by slaves, supplemented by freedmen and white laborers. Fighting
their way through dense forests and swamps, it took almost a year to lay down
the first ten miles of track. Despite nearly facing bankruptcy in the Panic of
1857, the line between Fernandina and Cedar Key was completed in 1860. The
first train from Fernandina arrived in Cedar Key on March 1<sup>st</sup>, 1861,
just weeks before shots were fired on Fort Sumter. Yulee resigned from the U.S.
Senate on January 21, 1861, and returned to Florida to protect his railroad and
supervise his plantations. Though he was
never officially linked to the Confederacy, Yulee corresponded with Confederate
officials, including President Jefferson Davis, and Attorney General (later
Secretary of War and Secretary of State) Judah P. Benjamin – who was Yulee’s
second-cousin. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Civil War proved to be destructive for the Florida
Railroad. Confederate forces pulled up rails for their own purposes, while the
Union Army destroyed 30 miles of track leading to Cedar Key. Union forces captured Fernandina on March 3<sup>rd</sup>,
1862. David Yulee escaped by train, under
fire from the USS Ottawa. Yulee retreated to his plantation near Homosassa,
Florida, until it was burned down by Federal troops in 1864. Yulee and his
family spent the remainder of the war at “Cottonwood,” his plantation near
Archer, Florida. After emancipation Yulee encouraged the education of freedmen,
and advocated employing African American men and women as teachers.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
At the close of the Civil War Yulee was sent to Gainesville,
Florida, as part of a delegation to petition for readmission into the Union. He
was arrested for treason against the United States and sent to Fort Pulaski.
The charge of treason stemmed from the discovery of a letter he had written before
his official resignation from the U.S. Senate, which urged Southern forces to
occupy forts and seize munitions in Florida. Nannie Wickliffe Yulee used her family’s
political connections, and succeeded in convincing General Ulysses S. Grant to
intervene on her husband’s behalf. After being paroled in 1866, Yulee returned
to Fernandina and worked to rebuild the Florida Railroad. By 1877, financial
difficulties forced him to sell his majority share, but he remained active as
the railroad’s vice-president until his retirement in 1881. David Yulee and his
wife retired to Washington DC, where Nannie passed away in 1881. Yulee died on
October 10, 1886, in New York City. In 2000 The Florida Department of State designated
Yulee as a <i>Great Floridian.</i> The city
of Yulee, Florida, and Levy County are named in his honor.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
June 12<sup>th</sup>, 2014 will mark the 204<sup>th</sup>
anniversary of David Yulee’s birth. The Fernandina Restoration Foundation will
partner with the Amelia Island Museum of History to celebrate Yulee’s
extraordinary life by unveiling a statue in his honor at the historic train depot
(102 Centre St) on Thursday, June 12<sup>th</sup>, at noon. Built in 1899, the
depot is in the process of being restored by the public/private partnership of
the Amelia Island Tourist Development Council, the City of Fernandina Beach,
and the Fernandina Restoration Foundation.<o:p></o:p></div>

celebrate the 500<sup>th</sup> anniversary of Juan Ponce de Leon voyage to
Florida in 1513. Though it is likely Ponce de Leon was not the first European
to visit Florida, his journey resulted in the name La Florida, and was the
first to be well documented. Contrary to popular myth, it was not the fountain
of youth that brought Ponce de Leon to Florida, but a royal contract which offered
to make him governor for life of any lands he discovered. Ponce de Leon had served as provincial
governor of Puerto Rico, before he was forced out of power by his rival Diego </span><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Colón</span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">, the illegitimate son Christopher
Columbus. King Ferdinand II of Aragon hoped to reward Ponce de Leon for his
service to the crown, while at the same time preventing </span><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Colón from gaining further
influence in the New World.</span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Ponce De
Leon funded the expedition himself, outfitting three ships and bringing with
him 200 men. Departing from Puerto Rico on March 4<sup>th</sup> of 1513, he
reached the East Coast of Florida in early April, landing somewhere between St.
Augustine and Melbourne Beach. After a few days on land, Ponce De Leon’s ships
headed south and ran into the Gulf Stream. Passing through the Florida Keys,
the expedition reached Florida’s West Coast on the 23<sup>rd</sup> of May.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> The explorers quickly found themselves at odds
with the Native Americans they encountered, and several skirmishes broke out,
which resulted in casualties on both sides. It is reported that at least one of
the Natives they met already spoke Spanish. The Spanish took several captives,
and went on to explore the Dry Tortugas and Grand Bahama in the summer of
1513. From here, Ponce De Leon turned
back toward Hispaniola, returning to Puerto Rico in October, after an eight
month expedition. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">It’s hard to separate fact from fiction
when it comes to many historical figures. Great people often make for great
stories. As time goes on, small facts and details often become the casualties of
a person’s mythic status. Harriet
Tubman’s mission to Fernandina is a perfect example. Known as, “the Moses of
her people,” Tubman is an icon of American history, well remembered for her
work with the Underground Railroad. But many people are not aware that leading
slaves to freedom was only one of the ways that Harriet contributed to
emancipation. She believed in the cause of freedom with total conviction, and
was willing to do whatever was necessary to see the end of slavery during her
lifetime, which led her to serve the Union Army in a variety of roles during
the Civil War.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Sometimes during the transition from
living, breathing human-being to folk hero, a person’s actual deeds can get
lost in the translation. But if you push
aside all the tall-tales and embellishments that have been tacked on to the
story over the course of a century, in this case you will find a truly
remarkable woman who was able to accomplish amazing feats in her lifetime, some
of which are more famous than others. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"> In
her authorized biography, Harriet mentions that during the Civil War, the Union
commander of Amelia Island asked her to come to Fernandina to nurse Union
soldiers through an outbreak of dysentery. The details of her time here elude
us. We’re not certain if she attended to soldiers at Fort Clinch, or if she moved
among the several batteries on the Island that were manned by African American
soldiers, like Fort Naglee. Either or both is possible. But to put the
significance of her journey here into context, it would help to have some
understanding of the incredible life that she led.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Araminta Harriet Tubman was born to
enslaved parents in Bucktown, Maryland, sometime in the early 1820s. As a
child, she was often hired out by her master to work for other families. Early
in her teen years, Harriet suffered a head injury that would plague her for the
rest of her life, causing seizures and sudden episodes of narcolepsy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"> Around
1844, Harriet married a free black man named John Tubman. In 1849, Harriet
escaped alone to Philadelphia (her husband refused to join her), and began to
plan trips back to Maryland to free members of her family and friends. Over the
next eleven years she made more than a dozen trips back into Maryland, leading
around 70 slaves to freedom, including her three brothers and much of their
families. Tubman was also a friend and collaborator of abolitionist John Brown.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"> During
the Civil War, Tubman served the Union Army as a nurse, cook, spy and scout.
She used her experience traveling in secret with the Underground Railroad to
help the Union Army map unfamiliar terrain and gather reconnaissance. Tubman
provided key intelligence that aided in the capture of Jacksonville, by Union
forces in 1862. </span><span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">The
war also brought Harriet Tubman to Amelia Island. Harriet’s obituary, printed in the <i>Auburn Citizen</i> (the local newspaper in
her adopted hometown of Auburn, NY) mentions that her success in curing
dysentery with native herbs became so well known by army surgeons, the War
Department sent her to Fernandina. </span><span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Unfortunately, this single statement
recorded by Harriet’s friend and first biographer, Sarah H. Bradford, is all
that we have to go on. Harriet didn’t elaborate any further on her time in
Fernandina, but her presence here would make perfect sense given her activities
from 1862-1864.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"> We know that she was
actively scouting in the area because of a letter written on her behalf by
General David Hunter, which mentions her being in Beaufort, and Hilton Head,
South Carolina. The letter named Harriet Tubman herself as its bearer, and guaranteed
her passage on any government transport to go wherever she wished to go, and to
take whatever goods she needed from the Dept. of the South commissary. The note
also describes her as “a valuable woman.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Harriet’s skills as a healer are
corroborated by Henry R. Durrant, an Assistant Surgeon in the US Army, who said:
“I certify that I have been
acquainted with Harriet Tubman for nearly two years, and my position as Medical
officer in charge of ‘contrabands’ in this town, and in hospitals, has given me
frequent and ample opportunity to observe her general deportment, particularly
her kindness and attention to the sick and suffering of her own race. I take
much pleasure in testifying hereby to the esteem in which she is generally
held.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">It is well documented that Tubman spent
time attached to the 1<sup>st</sup> South Carolina Volunteers, the first
African American unit to be mustered into the Union Army (later re-designated
the 33<sup>rd</sup> United States Colored Troops). On January 26, 1863, the 1<sup>st</sup>
South Carolina became the first African American troops to land on Amelia
Island. We do not know if Harriet came to Fernandina with the 1<sup>st</sup>
South Carolina Volunteers or if she travelled here on her own – though it is
believed she came here in 1863. </span><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt;">There
are diaries written by Union soldiers posted on the island at that time that
give a passing mention of her arrival here. None of these contain any specifics
about the time she spent here.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">One of the most frustrating parts of
studying history is that we’re often left pining for more details. </span><span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">In the modern
technological age, where people have become so accustomed to documenting every
aspect of their day, we forget that people living in the times we study had
wars to fight, families to protect, and lives to lead. Many things which seem
so desperately important to us now would have been minutiae to them. </span><span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">We

comes to Harriet Tubman’s time on Amelia Island. Do we know exactly where she
ate, slept, and worked? No. What we do know is that she was a woman of intense courage and dedication to the
cause of freedom, and that she willingly took on whatever role was necessary to
achieve emancipation. We also know that her work brought her here, and that
small role in the nascence of freedom in this country is something that
Fernandina can be proud of.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; text-indent: 0.5in;">Everyone has heard of the Titanic, but few people can name
the ship that was associated with the worst nautical tragedy in American
history before that point. Indeed, few have heard of the wreck of the Evening
Star, yet this shipwreck (which predated Titanic by almost fifty years) was
considered the greatest maritime disaster of its time, and Fernandina Beach is
a prominent part of its story.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> The Evening Star was a passenger
steamer, and it left New York bound for New Orleans in late September, 1866.
There were 278 people on board, 14 of those were crew, and one was the captain.
The Evening Star was sent to sea with no spare sails or spars, and lacked a
ship’s carpenter to make repairs as needed in case of a disaster. The ship
carried 6 lifeboats, each with room for about ten people - enough to save less
than a quarter of those on board in the event of an emergency. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The ship ran into a hurricane 180 miles off the coast of
Tybee Island, Georgia, on October 2nd.
During the early morning hours of October 3<sup>rd</sup>, the ship began
taking on water. Attempts were made to bail water out of the engine room, but
these were to no avail. At around 5:00 am, Captain William Knapp made an
announcement to the passengers that the ship would surely sink.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">During the commotion caused by the storm, only four of the
ship’s lifeboats made it into the water. All were capsized several times, and
subsequently bailed out by the people inside them - this sad cycle continued
for hours until one boat was cleared out completely, and all aboard were lost. Two
of the boats drifted for two days, and were later rescued by a passing ship and
taken to Savannah. The last boat began a harrowing 5 day journey that brought
them to the shores of Fernandina Beach, Florida. Most of the men on this boat
were crew members, the only Evening Star passenger on board was an actor and
former Union soldier from Brooklyn, New York, named Frank Girard. He left a
detailed account of his experiences, via a letter written to a friend back in
New York. From this document we get a passengers perspective on the incident.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the devastating final moments before the ship went down,
Girard suffered a broken nose and got a large laceration on his leg. After
clinging to a wooden trunk to keep himself afloat, Girard spotted a lifeboat
with five crewmen and five passengers inside and attempted to pull himself in.
One of the sailors attempted to hit him with an oar to knock him out of the
boat, but Girard was able to fight the man off and stay inside. He writes about
his shock and dismay over the actions of the sailors in his lifeboat. Other passengers who had to that point
survived by clinging to broken pieces of the ship tried to enter the boat, only
to be rebuffed by the sailors. As one
young man tried to climb into the boat, his hand was slit by one of the
sailors. Another crewman threatened to
“brain” Girard with a piece of wood as he moved to help an older woman into the
boat. Girard looked on with disgust as the sailors rifled through the pockets
of anyone who succumbed to starvation, thirst, or exposure. After they died,
the sailors would steal their clothes and throw the bodies overboard. Some
of the passengers became so thirsty they began to drink salt water, which led to
their deaths. Girard followed the example of the crewmen, who survived by
drinking their own urine.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After three days of drifting they were able to fashion a
makeshift sail and rudder, hoping they would be able to guide themselves to
land or a passing ship. The men - including Girard - began to suffer from
delirium, and spent a lot of their time talking nonsense, screaming, and
fighting amongst themselves. Besides a small fish that somehow jumped into the
boat and was eaten raw after being fought over fiercely, the men had no food
whatsoever. Girard had no means of treating his leg wound, and it began to grow
numb.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On the morning of the 5<sup>th</sup> day, the lifeboat
finally found itself in sight of land.
The small boat had traveled almost 150 miles, all the way to Amelia
Island, Florida. At this point 5 men were left, Girard, and 4 sailors. They
came ashore somewhere near Fort Clinch, and drug themselves out of the boat.
Girard was unable to stand due to his leg wound and asked for assistance from
the sailors. They ignored him and left him lying on the beach. Girard began to
drag himself across the ground hoping to come across someone who could assist
him. After crawling for about a mile and a half, he came across a puddle of
rain water, and was able to drink water for the first time in five days.
Meanwhile, the sailors had come to the door of a cabin only to be refused
injury until they could produce the injured man. The sailors backtracked hoping
to find Girard so they could use him as a means of proving they were truly in
need of help. They came upon him about a mile from the cabin, and now they
eagerly helped him to his feet and carried him the rest of the way. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> With Girard in tow,
the sailors made it back to the cabin, where the old gentleman and his wife
welcomed the party in and sent for a doctor. The doctor informed Girard that
his leg would have to be amputated. Girard objected wholeheartedly, and
fortunately he found a supporter in Fernandina’s Mayor, Sammuel T. Riddel (the
owner of the cabin sent for not only a doctor, but also the town mayor). Girard
was taken to Riddel’s home where he spent the next three weeks recuperating.
New doctors were brought in to treat Girard’s leg wound. They diagnosed a
contusion, and said the bone had to be scraped clean. Girard refused to take
chloroform to numb the pain, because he feared they might be planning to
amputate his leg while he was unconscious. After recovering from his wounds
Girard returned to New York by train, and so ended the long and arduous journey
that took him all the way from Brooklyn to Amelia Island.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Of the nearly three hundred souls that departed New York on
the Evening Star, there were only seventeen survivors. The United States
Government created a board of inquiry to investigate the incident. The board
determined that the ship had been sent from port with an insufficient amount of
crew, and badly in need of repair. She was in no shape to withstand the dangers
presented by hurricane season in the Atlantic. It was also stated during the
inquiry that, had the ship had a competent carpenter on board who could repair
damage as it occurred – like mending the ship’s disabled rudder – the sinking
might have been avoided. A few of the ship’s crew, survivors from the other
boats (the two that made it to Savannah) wrote their own accounts of the
tragedy, which can be found online. Frank Girard passed away in 1900, at the
age of sixty. He was twenty-six years old when he boarded the Evening Star on
its ill-fated last voyage. His first-hand
account of the entire ordeal, including his time in Fernandina, can be found in
the Archives of the Amelia Island Museum of History.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In his time, George Rainsford Fairbanks was an attorney,
historian, citrus magnate, newspaper editor, soldier, author, and a politician. Though he was born in New York, Fairbanks
adopted the state of Florida as his home for most of his adult life. He helped found the Historical Society of
Florida and served as its first Vice President.
Fairbanks was also one of the co-founders of the University of the South
in Sewanee, Tennessee. He was a great friend
and colleague of David Levy Yulee, his father Moses Levy, and William Pope
Duval. Moses Levy, the owner of
significant tracts of land in Central Florida, engaged Fairbanks to tend to his
many pressing legal matters. Fairbanks
also served on the board of directors of Yulee’s Florida Railroad, and owned
stock in the company. His lifelong thirst for knowledge made George Fairbanks
one of the brightest and most well-rounded minds of his day and a great
chronicler – not to mention a part of – Florida’s history.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Born in Watertown, New
York on July 5, 1820, George was the second son of Jason and Mary Massey
Fairbanks. Although George was born into
a fairly wealthy family, his father and maternal grandfather had both recently
earned their respective fortunes. Jason
was a self-made man with little formal education who parlayed his skills as a
tanner into several business ventures, eventually employing up to 500
people. He was also a respected public
servant, serving as a county sheriff and treasurer and as a U.S. Marshall for
almost 30 years. Mary Massey’s father
built a lumber mill and settled his family in the area that would become
Watertown before it was a city. Mr.
Massey bought a great deal of property, and with the city’s expansion, became a
wealthy and powerful man.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Though his mother was a staunch anti-catholic, George was
sent to school at La Petit Seminaire in Montreal Canada, a Catholic school for
boys which provided a top notch education.
English was banned at the school, and George was forced to speak only in
French. A cholera epidemic forced him to
return home in 1832, where he spent the next four years preparing for college.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Fairbanks graduated from Union College (the first
interdenominational institution for higher education in the United States) in
1839, and began to study law. In 1842, he became engaged to Sarah Wright, a
judge’s daughter, and the two were married just weeks before George moved to
Florida to take a job as Clerk of the Superior Court of East Florida. Now living in Saint Augustine, George
immersed himself in the city’s history and in the history of Florida in
General. He learned Spanish so that he could
read first-hand accounts from Conquistadors and early explorers. In 1858, Fairbanks’ first history book was
published - <i>The History and Antiquities
of the City of St. Augustine, Florida</i>. In that same year, George’s wife Sarah died of
tuberculosis, leaving him to care for their five children. Two years later, Fairbanks married his
brother-in-law’s widow Susan Beard Wright, combining their households; George
and Susan had two daughters of their own.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Fairbanks made powerful friends while living in St.
Augustine, which led to his becoming involved in politics. The support of William Duval and David Yulee
helped him win a state senate seat in 1846. When his term was over he returned
to Saint Augustine and continued to be involved in the community. In 1856 he
helped to found the Florida Historical Society, and served as its Vice
President. A year later he became the city’s Mayor.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When war broke out between the states, Fairbanks endorsed
secession from the Union. He was
commissioned an officer and served under General Braxton Bragg, with the rank
of major. He served in the commissary
department and spent most of the war in Georgia overseeing Army hospitals. After the war, Major Fairbanks returned to
Sewanee to help rebuild the University of the South, which had been ravaged by
four-years of conflict. For the rest of
his life Fairbanks would spend at least a portion of the year in the cabin he built
near campus dubbed “Rebel’s Rest,” which still stands to this day.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Fairbanks spent a great deal of his time managing his various
land holdings. His private records (kept
at Florida State University) indicate that at one time he held property in
Nassau, Duval, Clay, Putnam, St. Johns, Volusia, Lake, Marion, Brevard, and
Alachua counties. In 1871, George completed his second book, <i>History of Florida,</i> which was the first
connected and complete work on the history of the state.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In 1880, David Yulee invited Major Fairbanks to move to
Fernandina to become editor of the local paper, <i>The Florida Mirror</i>. George’s
active role in the Episcopal Church allowed him to quickly make connections
with some of Fernandina’s most prominent citizens, many of whom were part of
St. Peter’s congregation. Around this
same time, Fairbanks donated a tract of land near Gainesville, Florida to build
a church for the citizens in a small town that was to be named after him. He brought in New York architect Robert
Schuyler to design the building - dubbed “All Saints” at the suggestion of
Fairbanks’ wife Susan - and paid for its construction.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">It was of the utmost importance to Susan Fairbanks to have
her children and grandchildren near her at all times, and with a family as
large as the Fairbanks’ this necessitated a home of substantial size. In 1885 George turned once again to Robert
Schuyler to design and build a home in Fernandina that could accommodate the
entire family. </span>The lavish Italianate home featured a 15-foot tower and a
fireplace in every room (ten in all), two of which were decorated with English
tiles depicting scenes from Shakespeare’s plays and Aesop’s fables. The
Fairbanks house was the first home in Fernandina to have an elevator. A long standing local myth is that upon seeing
the house for the first time Susan Fairbanks was so displeased with it, she
gave it the moniker it carries to this day, “the folly.” However, the story passed down through the
Fairbanks family is that it was the decoration and furnishings that Susan
disapproved of, not the house itself.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Fairbanks managed much of his business out of Fernandina, but
spent his summers in Sewanee helping to manage the University of the South and
ensure the institution stayed true to the original intentions of its founders (of
which he has was the last living). In 1898, George published the second edition
of his <i>History of Florida</i>, followed
by a third in 1904 which added chapters up to that date. This edition was designed for, and used as a
textbook in the Florida school system.
George continued with his devotion to the University of the South, as a
trustee, and never lost his zeal for researching history. He passed away in 1906 at the age of 86 in
his home in Sewanee, Tennessee.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">George Fairbanks’ legacy is still alive today in the city of
Fernandina, and his impact on his adopted state is undeniable. His home still stands on South Seventh
Street, now operating as a bed and breakfast.
The coat he wore as a Major in the Confederate Army hangs in the Amelia
Island Museum of history. The Florida
Historical Society he helped found exists to this day, and the books he wrote
about the histories of Florida and Saint Augustine are still used as source
material in text books read by students across the state of Florida.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"> July 9th through July13th, the AIMH welcomed 13 kids, ages 6-10 to its <i>Move like a Timucuan </i>summer program. Throughout
the week, they learned about the lifestyle of the Timucuas, the different crops
they would have grown, and how they would have collected the rest of their
food. The children worked on several art projects including making baskets,
creating feather mask, and sewing pouches in which they could store items for
safe keeping. They also had an opportunity to visit the Atlantic Seafood Bait
& Tackle shop where they learned about the various kinds of seafood caught
in the area. Allan Hallman from The Florida Fish and Wildlife commission
came out with a trailer full of specimens of local animals. The
kids had a great time making their own molds of animal tracks from the actual
footprints of Florida wildlife, including a wild hog, coyote, bobcat, wild
turkey, Florida black bear, whitetail deer, fox, and Florida panther.</span>
The week was a great success, and was enjoyed by the participants and volunteers
alike. We can’t wait until next summer!</span></div>

The students visited Atlantic Seafood Bait & Tackle shop where they learned about the local seafood, and were able to pick out their own subjects for fish printing - generously donated by the shop. They also visited local art shops where they were exposed to the work local artists.

The days of parents reminding their children not to touch anything in the museum are over the Amelia Island Museum of History! On June 29th, at 6:00 pm, the AIMH – with the help of special guest speaker Adrienne Burke - will open its Kids Construct Exhibit. Kids Construct is an interactive learning experience which encourages children to explore local architecture and preservation. The exhibit will feature a series of activities which allow children to take a hands-on approach to learning about historic local buildings, city planning, and the necessity of preserving our local landmarks. <br /><br /> One of the Exhibit’s staples will be box city, which features a model city filled with structures designed and built by local children. The aim of box city is to foster creativity, while at the same time educating children about the various aspects of planning a city. Kids were able to use boxes to create schools, restaurants, public works, private homes, all of the institutions necessary to our community. Another station features projections of famous local buildings, creating outlines on the wall which children can replicate using kid-friendly building blocks. There will also be a board with double-sided tiles depicting a local landmark on each side. Kids will be able to flip the tiles around until they match up and create a complete image. <br /><br />The mix of fun and educational activities will make learning about the physical foundations of our community enjoyable to kids. Whoever said that learning couldn’t be fun?Amelia Island Museum of Historyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04198965962455985976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3296870681825983373.post-36547008452585117322010-09-09T09:41:00.001-07:002010-09-09T09:43:01.064-07:00The Lost Tribes<div style="text-align: justify;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcODkVveMF8bS0p6vNP31twLKfZJNcJ5NaZIWylhwd_VMD6ck_JCTBOBWnBohHnka8d2-BE3BOObUX8It7r3G3hBnlbGzNwA1xuNyJBdrgUccJPY4rnp8lz2B9Lu2sv5tZovSUCA6qEzU/s1600/morris+exhibit+sm.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 259px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcODkVveMF8bS0p6vNP31twLKfZJNcJ5NaZIWylhwd_VMD6ck_JCTBOBWnBohHnka8d2-BE3BOObUX8It7r3G3hBnlbGzNwA1xuNyJBdrgUccJPY4rnp8lz2B9Lu2sv5tZovSUCA6qEzU/s400/morris+exhibit+sm.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514955047252375794" border="0" /></a>The Amelia Island Museum of History invites the public to the opening of its newest temporary exhibit: <em>Florida's Lost Tribes</em>, on September 10th at 7 p.m. This collection, produced by St. Augustine painter Theodore Morris, resurrects the extinct Native American tribes of Florida in his work. Spending countless hours in libraries, museums and archeological digs, Morris created this striking collection by painstakingly researching the various tribes of Florida, granting the viewer a glimpse into their lives that would otherwise be impossible. His Timucuan collection will be on display at the museum from September 10 through December 28, with a special presentation and reception with Theodore Morris on the opening night.<br /></div>Amelia Island Museum of Historyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04198965962455985976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3296870681825983373.post-22982890030805722492010-08-06T10:19:00.000-07:002010-08-06T10:22:02.007-07:00Arrrr!

We’ll explore the many uses of human remains and how the bones of our bodies serve as symbolism within human culture.<span style=""> </span>Dr. Wentz is a lively and dynamic speaker who spoke to a packed house this past January on the Windover burial site.<span style=""> </span>The museum is excited to have her back a recommends coming early for a good seat.<span style=""> </span>Admission is free for museum members and $5 for nonmembers.<span style=""> </span>For more information, please contact Alex at 261-7378 ext. 102. </div>Amelia Island Museum of Historyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04198965962455985976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3296870681825983373.post-40423959748948972752010-06-22T08:38:00.000-07:002010-06-22T08:51:09.001-07:00How does your garden grow?<div style="text-align: justify;"><em>Summertime</em> and the livin' is <em>easy</em>, fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high... in the Amelia Island Museum of History Garden.

Throughout our history, residents have made a living with an honest day's work. Whether as a shrimper, a fisherman, or a mill-worker, Fernandina has always been a blue-collar town with hard working citizens. We hope to capture this spirit of our industriousness, and while Fernandina might work hard, we play even harder! We also hope to capture our residents enjoying themselves. For centuries, people have hiked, biked, sailed, surfed, and generally enjoyed themselves on our beaches, salt marshes, and endless wilderness. We will combine submitted photographs with archival photos of Fernandina's past and present residents working and playing.</p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;">Admission is free for museum members and $5 for non-members.
