From dust jacket: Throughout the centuries in which man has lived along the banks of the St. Johns River, he has never been a stranger to war. And of all the alarms, skirmishes and battles, all of the seasons of hostility and adversity, the most catastrophic was that of the Civil War. For, during that fratricidal conflict, Jacksonville, which had been founded on the north bank of the Cow Ford some forty years before, was occupied four times in less than two years and burned twice, once by Confederates and once by Federals. When the first cannoades of the Civil War were exchanged in the harbor of Charleston, South Carolina, on April 12, 1862, Jacksonville was a thriving and progressive river town on the verge of becoming the major commercial and industrial center of Florida. But the war would delay all of that and, in those… Leer más

From dust jacket: In this fascinating, complete and dramatic account of President James Madison’s plot to wrest the territory of Florida from Spain in 1811 -- a true-to-life historical thriller -- Joseph Burkholder Smith demonstrates with erudition, wit and historical perspective that long before Vietnam and Watergate this republic’s Founding Fathers practiced their own covert manipulation of the Americacn public and forieng governments in near-Nixonian proportions. In what was to become the United States’ first major covert action, an historic precursor to Watergate, President Madison attempted to instigate a popular uprising against the Spanish; to use the press against them through letters bought from a British doubleagent; and, finally, when all failed, to disavow the entire Florida fiasco... play-by-play, the enitre operation with its… Leer más
