From dust jacket: During the Civil War Calvin L. Robinson was a successful businessman in Jacksonville Florida transplanted from his native state of Vermont. Loyal to the Union and finding slave-holding repugnant he refused to join the secessionist movement in the South. Targeted for his open sympathies for the Union he would eventually lose his sawmills his cash his warehouse and even his home. In this journal which he kept during that critical period of U. S. history he describes the reign of terror in Jacksonville and Fernandina in the years from 1860 to 1864. He met secretly with other Unionists and even helped train a fighting unit. When the Union gunboats that promised safety failed to appear in time he and his wife Elizabeth fled the burning city with their two young sons. Robinson’s journal makes it clear that on this occasion it was not the invading Union forces that burned the city but fellow Southerners who were out to get him and the other Union sympathizers. After finding their way to New York City and then back to Vermont the Robinson family was homelss for three years. Upon their return to Jacksonville Calvin reestablished himself in the business community. After the war he became successful again finding time to devote to philanthropic activities including founding an orphanage for black children. This journal was passed down from Calvin Robinson’s heris and found its way into the hands ofhis great granddaughter Anne Robinson Clancy who transcribed and edited this important primary document from the Civil War. It is the only known account of the Civil War in Florida written by a resident who sided with the Union. Pineapple Press, Inc., (2002). First Edition. hardcover books
