18804993N.p. but likely Live Oak FL 1880. Very good. Albumen photograph 4.5 x 7.75 inches mounted on card. Card trimmed with pinholes at corners remnants of printed caption in bottom margin slight surface soiling and spotting. Penciled annotation on verso. A stunning original photograph featuring Rev. Joseph Leroy Atwell Fish 1828-1890 and his wife and children posed amongst their African-American students at an unnamed "colored school" which was very likely the Florida Baptist Institute. The images captures Fish his wife and probably his daughters in the middle of the frame standing in front of a large two-story schoolhouse surrounded by about eighty young Black men and women in suits and dresses. Revered Fish was a graduate of Amherst College and the Newton Theological Seminary who was ordained a Baptist minister in 1856. Fish was also a teacher who helped found Florida Memorial University Florida Baptist Institute in Live Oak in 1880 where he served as first president of the institution until his death there on March 26 1890. Florida Memorial University is the only HBCU in the southern part of the state. The penciled annotation on the present photograph provides some information on the photograph but is probably ultimately misleading in one regard: "Rev. J.L.A. Fish & wife In Virginia teaching a colored school -- He married my Father & Mother Mr. & Mrs. Milan Hills Lucy M. Williams Dec. 21 1875."<br /> <br /> The latter part of this inscription is indeed true. Reverend Fish married Milan Hills and Lucy Williams on December 21 1875 in Hebron New York where he was serving as a church pastor. But the historical record does not indicate that Reverend Fish ever taught at an African-American school in Virginia if he did it was so brief that it is now lost to history. Fish's first known foray into teaching African American students was a brief six-month stint in Natchez Mississippi in 1879. Immediately thereafter Fish was appointed to the Florida Baptist Institute where he served the last decade of his life. As such it is far more likely that the inscriber here meant to say that Reverend Fish and his wife were "In FLORIDA teaching a colored school."<br /> <br /> Reverend Fish's work at the Florida Institute is covered in the Obituary Record of Graduates of Amherst College for the Academical Year ending June 27 1883: "His chief work was with the Freedmen as he brought Florida Institute out of all its troubles financial and social changed the feeling of the whites from hatred to sympathy with his work and put the school on a permanent foundation. His aim was to educate leaders for the race and the principal effort of his school was to train teachers and preachers to go out through the state and by their example to lift up and educate both intellectually and morally the colored people. His influence was felt throughout the state both through his training of teachers and preachers and through his counsels given at conventions associations and other gatherings of the colored men and in private. He is mourned by both white and black. By the whites because they knew his teachings would help the colored people without causing trouble to them. By the latter because they miss their leader teacher and friend. unknown

192053711Fort Pierce FL: n.p. 1920-1931. Oblong 4to. 12.25 x 7.5 in. 24 silver gelatin linen-backed photographs dated & negative number in lower margin of image each mounted on linen hinge sized 6.75 x 10.25 in. Contemporary limp pebbled leather post-binder yapp edges nickel-plated screw posts at gutter margin rounded corners wear rubbing w/o spine wear & minor loss to couple corners still a G exemplar with photos in excellent condition. This remarkable promotional photo album provides a series of photographs documenting the impact of the explosion of development interest in Florida during the Roaring 20s by offering a visual record over 11 years of the building and opening of the Port of Fort Pierce. The album opens with an image dated May 8 1921 showing the last 100 yards to be cut for the a 100 foot wide and 4 foot deep channel the Tuscawilla dredge finishing the last portions of the cut and finally the opening of the Fort Pierce Inlet to the sea which would scour the channel to a depth of 12 feet. A photo dated April 10 1924 shows the operation to dredge the inlet down to 25 feet in order to allow freighters and steamships to enter the Port. Due to erosion local interest began construction of another jetty in 1926 which is shown with railroad tracks stretching to the sea in December 1927 followed by images of the historic dredger the Corozal which had worked on digging the Panama Canal and was capable of dredging to a depth of 50 feet. Finally in Nov. 1929 the Port opened for business with the 4-masted lumber schooner Catherine Scott picking up a load of lumber for delivery to Cuba Feb. 5 1930 followed by the 2339 gross ton SS Betty Weems a Baltimore & Carolina Steamship Company freighter arriving amidst inaugural celebrations of the use of the Fort Pierce Port and opening. There are an addition number of photos up to July 1931 showing such ships as the oil tanker SS Herbert G. Wylie the SS Lillian a freighter owned and operated by A.H. Bull & Co. of New York and a number of other Baltimore & Carolina Steamships. Although the Port had been finished and opened by the end of 1929 the Great Depression and land bust in Florida resulted in such land developments as Indrio and San Lucie never being completed and the area would eventually prove successful as a Naval Amphibious Training Base during World War II with over 140000 troops trained and processed during the War. n.p., hardcover
