A. Patti was a writer, historian and retired Army lieutenant colonel best known for his work with Ho Chi Minh 1945 and his subsequent 1980 book, Why Viet Nam? Prelude to America's Albatross. After his service in the European Theater during World War II, Patti was transferred to the Office of Strategic Services (OSS – precursor to CIA) in Hanoi, Vietnam. While there, Patti was named head of a secret OSS mission under President Franklin Delano Roosevelt designed to support anti-colonialism in Asia. Part of Patti's mission was to befriend Ho Chi Minh and train Ho's men to fight the occupying Japanese forces in Vietnam. Patti was later pulled out of Vietnam by the United States in 1945 but he continued his friendly relations with Ho and his representatives. After his retirement, Patti worked closely with federal agencies in creating plans for civil governance in the event of a catastrophic attack on the US. Patti also became a well-known writer, recounting his work with Ho in 1945 and the changing face of politics in the Indochina region. Held for publication in the 1950s due to its controversial subject matter on communism, Patti's book, Why Viet Nam? Prelude to America's Albatross was published in 1980 and became known as a critical work on the study of politics in Asia. Patti passed away in Winter Park in 1998 at age 84 and is buried at Arlington National Cemetery in Washington DC.","Processed by Alexandra Olsen, April Karlene Anderson and Katie Seeler; finding aid prepared by April Karlene Anderson, Jonathon Teasley and Katie Seeler.

Millican from the collection of Norman Van Meter, 1900-2004 contains photographs, news clippings, and personal letters about Charles Millican. The photographs range from social events to private family photos. This collection provides insight into the life and career of Dr. Charles Millican. Charles Norman Millican was born October 9, 1916 in Wilson, Arkansas. He earned a B.S. in Business and Religion from Union University in 1941. In 1946, he received his M.A. in Economics from George Peabody College and became Acting Head of the Commerce Department at Union University. The Millicans moved to Florida in 1948 where Millican studied for his Ph.D. in Business Finance and Economics. When Dr. Millican was appointed President of the new university in 1965, the university had no name, no buildings, no faculty and no students; he had to create the university over which he would preside.

Nehrling (1853-1929), a native of Wisconsin, whose interest in birds and natural history led him to become known as \"the Audubon of Wisconsin.\" It was his interest in exotic flora; however, that brought him to Florida, first of all for part-time experiments, and later as a full time resident. In the 1880s, Nehrling purchased acreage near the village of Gotha, in Central Florida, and began experimenting with tropical and subtropical plants. A few years later, in 1904, having vacated his position as director of the Public Museum of Milwaukee, Nehrling moved permanently to Florida. His garden there became a popular destination for many of Florida's early visitors and settlers. Soon Theodore Roosevelt, Thomas Edison and David Fairchild, among others, had all found their way to Nehrling's Palm Cottage Gardens. The garden became Florida's first experimental botanical garden, where Dr. Nehrling tested over 3,000 new and rare plants for the United States Department of Agriculture. Of these, 3,000 new plants were introduced into Florida's landscape, including caladiums, hybrid amaryllis, and gloriosa lilies. These plants became the foundation to Florida's thriving nursery industry.\nFollowing the death of his first wife, Sophia, in 1911, Nehrling met Betty Pooler Mitchell during a visit to the small, mostly German-speaking village of DeKalb, in northwestern New York. The two were married in the town on June 7, 1916. Unfortunately for the newlyweds, the Florida winter of 1916-17 was one of the worst on record. Some locations in Florida recorded more than two weeks of temperatures below freezing and and as low as 16 degrees for a sustained period. The results at Palm Cottage Gardens were devastating.","\nDuring the next few years of rebuilding, Nehrling evidently incurred substantial debts. It was also during this period that he began submitting articles to The American Eagle, the newspaper of a communal colony near Fort Myers. The community itself was founded by a man as Cyrus Teed (1839-1908) who took the name \"Koresh\" in 1869. Sometime in that year, Teed believed he had been visited by a divine spirit who told him that he was the messiah. In his new incarnation, developed a variety of offbeat religious and scientific ideas that he called Koreshanity. Among the other things, he denounced the idea that the Earth revolved around the sun, and later on the beaches of West Florida, made measurements and calculations that \"proved\" his theory that human beings live on the inside of our planet, not the outside. Along with that theory - called Cellular Cosmogony - Koreshanity preached alchemy, reincarnation, immortality, celibacy, communism and a few other radical ideas. At its peak, 1905-1908, his community of followers at Estero numbered about 250. One of the interests of the Koreshan Community was in plants and horticulture. The colony's newspaper, The American Eagle, began publishing extensively in the field of tropical plants and gardenning, and Henry Nehrling became a regular contributor throughout the 1920s.","\nDue to financial problems, Henry Nehrling returned to Gotha where he died on November 22, 1929 and was buried in Woodlawn cemetary near Gotha. His garden in Naples was preserved as the Jungle Larry's Caribbean Gardens and some efforts have been made to preserve his Palm Cottage Gardens in Gotha.\nNehrling always wrote about his interests; he wrote articles on birds for the Nuttall Ornithological Club in Texas. In 1922, he began writing columns for The American Eagle, a weekly newspaper published in Estero, Florida. His first book Orchids in South Florida was published in 1890 and was followed a year later by Die Nordamerikanische Vogelwelt (North American Bird Life). Two volumes of Our Native Birds of Song and Beauty were published in 1893 and 1896 respectively. His next work, Die Amaryllis oder Rittersterne (Hippeastrum) (The Amaryllis), was published in 1908.","Collection processed by Suphi Burak Ogreten; finding aid prepared by Suphi Burak Ogreten.","Materials were arranged in chronological order and then placed in pH neutral folders and boxes. Damaged, fragile and high use items were placed in polyester sleeves.","Michael A. Spencer donated collections on Henry Nehrling to the University of Central Florida Libraries in 2006. The finding aid can be found  here .","The University of Central Florida Libraries purchased materials related to Henry Nehrling from the Mickler estate in 1999. The finding can be found  here .","Nehrling wrote several books that may be found by searching the UCF Libraries  online catalog .","Other materials about Henry Nehrling are held in repositories at  Rollins College ,  Winter Park Public Library ,  Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden Library ,  Orange County Regional History Center  and the Koreshan Collection.","Early 1920s, Betty Nehrling returned to New York for a visit while Henry made a visit to the Koreshan Community. With his financial condition deteriorating, Nehrling decided to extend his time in South Florida. It is during this period of time, 1923-1929, that the bulk of the correspondence takes place. Seventeen of the letters are in Henry Nehrling's hand. They offer his wife an ever-hopeful view of his endeavors. Often addressing her as \"my dearest sweetheart,\" or its German equivalent. Henry Nehrling mentions that he has recently planted 50,000 caladiums, or that he had received an order for caladiums from Kenya. Collection also contains a few letters mention about visits from the Edisons, Colliers, or David Fairchild. Meanwhile, the letters from Betty plead for funds and make mention of problems in paying creditors. Other correspondence tells a similar tale. Clayton C. Townes, a mayor of Cleveland, Ohio and a financial backer of the gardens, writes to Betty Nehrling that when he visited Henry near Naples, he found him living in conditions \"not fit for a human being.\" A bank statement from June of 1928 included in the collection shows a balance of just 4 cents.","\nOther highlights in the collection include a portrait of Henry Nehrling (1915), a photograph labeled \"Dr. Nehrling at Naples after 10 weeks of typhoid and pneumonia\", a self-portrait of Betty Pooler Mitchell (Undated) mounted on board, and two copies of a group photograph taken in Miami of John Kunkel Small, H. H. Hume, Henry Nehrling, David Fairchild, and Theodore L. Mead, at the time Nehrling was presented with the Frank N. Meyer Medal for Plant Genetic Resources. A twenty-three pages of a photograph album called My Memory Book contains photographs, newsclippings, and three leaves from the guest book belonging to \"Mrs. H. Nehrling / Palm Cottage Gardens\" (1925- ca. 1934). Number of the photographs in this album also record the freeze damage in 1916-17.

These plants became the foundation to Florida's thriving nursery industry.\nFollowing the death of his first wife, Sophia, in 1911, Nehrling met Betty Pooler Mitchell during a visit to the small, mostly German-speaking village of DeKalb, in northwestern New York. The two were married in the town on June 7, 1916. Unfortunately for the newlyweds, the Florida winter of 1916-17 was one of the worst on record. Some locations in Florida recorded more than two weeks of temperatures below freezing and and as low as 16 degrees for a sustained period. The results at Palm Cottage Gardens were devastating.","\nDuring the next few years of rebuilding, Nehrling evidently incurred substantial debts. It was also during this period that he began submitting articles to The American Eagle, the newspaper of a communal colony near Fort Myers. The community itself was founded by a man as Cyrus Teed (1839-1908) who took the name \"Koresh\" in 1869. Sometime in that year, Teed believed he had been visited by a divine spirit who told him that he was the messiah. In his new incarnation, developed a variety of offbeat religious and scientific ideas that he called Koreshanity. Among the other things, he denounced the idea that the Earth revolved around the sun, and later on the beaches of West Florida, made measurements and calculations that \"proved\" his theory that human beings live on the inside of our planet, not the outside. Along with that theory - called Cellular Cosmogony - Koreshanity preached alchemy, reincarnation, immortality, celibacy, communism and a few other radical ideas. At its peak, 1905-1908, his community of followers at Estero numbered about 250. One of the interests of the Koreshan Community was in plants and horticulture. The colony's newspaper, The American Eagle, began publishing extensively in the field of tropical plants and gardenning, and Henry Nehrling became a regular contributor throughout the 1920s.","\nDue to financial problems, Henry Nehrling returned to Gotha where he died on November 22, 1929 and was buried in Woodlawn cemetary near Gotha. His garden in Naples was preserved as the Jungle Larry's Caribbean Gardens and some efforts have been made to preserve his Palm Cottage Gardens in Gotha.\nNehrling always wrote about his interests; he wrote articles on birds for the Nuttall Ornithological Club in Texas. In 1922, he began writing columns for The American Eagle, a weekly newspaper published in Estero, Florida. His first book Orchids in South Florida was published in 1890 and was followed a year later by Die Nordamerikanische Vogelwelt (North American Bird Life). Two volumes of Our Native Birds of Song and Beauty were published in 1893 and 1896 respectively. His next work, Die Amaryllis oder Rittersterne (Hippeastrum) (The Amaryllis), was published in 1908.","Collection processed by Suphi Burak Ogreten; finding aid prepared by Suphi Burak Ogreten.","Materials were arranged in chronological order and then placed in pH neutral folders and boxes.

With his financial condition deteriorating, Nehrling decided to extend his time in South Florida. It is during this period of time, 1923-1929, that the bulk of the correspondence takes place. Seventeen of the letters are in Henry Nehrling's hand. They offer his wife an ever-hopeful view of his endeavors. Often addressing her as \"my dearest sweetheart,\" or its German equivalent. Henry Nehrling mentions that he has recently planted 50,000 caladiums, or that he had received an order for caladiums from Kenya. Collection also contains a few letters mention about visits from the Edisons, Colliers, or David Fairchild. Meanwhile, the letters from Betty plead for funds and make mention of problems in paying creditors. Other correspondence tells a similar tale. Clayton C. Townes, a mayor of Cleveland, Ohio and a financial backer of the gardens, writes to Betty Nehrling that when he visited Henry near Naples, he found him living in conditions \"not fit for a human being.\" A bank statement from June of 1928 included in the collection shows a balance of just 4 cents.","\nOther highlights in the collection include a portrait of Henry Nehrling (1915), a photograph labeled \"Dr. Nehrling at Naples after 10 weeks of typhoid and pneumonia\", a self-portrait of Betty Pooler Mitchell (Undated) mounted on board, and two copies of a group photograph taken in Miami of John Kunkel Small, H.

She had been an avid photographer ever since her father took her to the darkroom of an old Army buddy, and she saw strips of film hanging on a line. She graduated from Garber High School in 1934, and then went on to Tonkawa College before receiving her Bachelor's degree in English from the University of Central Oklahoma in 1941. Mansfield was a reporter, writer, and editor for the college newspaper, which demonstrated how her fascination for photography followed her throughout her educational years. It was an article in  Popular Photography  Magazine about British military women photographers and their work in aerial photography that inspired her to enlist in the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps (W.A.A.C.) when World War II began.\n          World War II Service - Mansfield enlisted as a W.A.A.C. on October 17, 1942. She attended basic training at Ft. Des Moines, Iowa until February 1943 and then transferred to Lowry Field Photo School in Denver, Colorado. She was one of fifty who made up the first all-women class to be trained as aerial photo technicians. The women did better academically than the men who doubted them, as well as handled the cameras and darkroom work well. After graduating in April 1943, Mansfield went to Felts Field in Spokane, Washington for further training. While there, W.A.A.C. was converted to full status as a branch of the United States Army and became the Women's Army Corps (W.A.C.) in July 1943. Mansfield was also stationed at Peterson Field, Colorado Springs, Colorado and Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia before being assigned overseas work in May 1944. Throughout her service, Mansfield kept her Graflex 4x5 Pacemaker Speed Graphic camera and a supply of personal film provided by her father, who was incredibly supportive of her photographic endeavors throughout her life. She used these to document her experience at each location in the states, photographing her friends and surroundings. The pictures Mansfield took feature the women training, completing their work, and socializing.","      Mansfield was assigned to the 8 th  Air Force under James Doolittle stationed in High Wycombe, England. The codename for the camp was \"Pinetree,\" with Mansfield interchanging between the two location names in documents and on her pictures. The majority of the correspondence in the collection is from her time in England, where she described to her parents her visit to London and conditions at the camp. Food was a common topic for Mansfield, as well as conditions in the lab. Mansfield continued to take personal photographs, documenting the English countryside and life in the military huts where the women were housed. She celebrated Victory in Europe Day at this station, and there are numerous pictures of the service members rejoicing. Though the war on the western front was over, Mansfield stated in a letter to her parents that W.A.C.s were essential for the army of occupation and were scheduled to transfer to Germany.","      Mansfield was then transferred to the 9 th  Air Force stationed in Bad Kissingen, Germany to work with the 13 th  Photo Tech Unit. This resort town was occupied by the United States Army, and Mansfield noted the barbed wire and boarded up shops in letters. The lab was in a large, empty house and took considerable time to construct. Before it was finished, Mansfield worked mainly in the contact printing room or other labs in the region that needed assistance. She mentioned in letters that she and her peers often had to prove they could do the work, as many officers seemed doubtful. This testified to the sexism the W.A.C.s experienced, and that they did their job, and did it well, regardless of the obstacles. Mansfield continued her routine of taking personal photographs, which included several pictures of local Germans that accompanied the usual shots of friends and surroundings. She remained in Germany from July to November 1945, then returned to the United States after being honorably discharged from the military.","Post-War U.S. Air Force Service - After being discharged, Mansfield remained a civilian for fifteen months. Most of that time was spent helping a friend, Bertha Brownback. The two had become very close friends while in the military together but towards the end of their service, Bertha found herself pregnant without a husband. This meant she was automatically discharged from the military. When Mansfield returned to the United States, she moved with Bertha and the baby to Philadelphia where she worked for a short while with a photofinishing company. They then moved to Oklahoma because Mansfield wanted to be near family again. Soon after, Bertha died in a car accident, leaving Mansfield guardian of her child. She arranged for a couple related to her to adopt the baby, which freed her to reenlist in the military. This entire situation served as a testament to Mansfield's character; she was willing to put her career on hold to help a friend in need. It is this quality of love and friendship that stood out most strongly in her photography.","      In September 1946, Mansfield re-enlisted in the W.A.C. where she worked in Photo Labs at U.S. Bases and in Germany. When the U.S. Air Force became a separate service, she became part of the Women in the Air Force. Mansfield was stationed in Erding, Germany from 1952 to 1955. While there, she toured Europe, visiting Berlin, Paris, and Rome as well as the scenic countryside of Germany and Austria. She took numerous photographs and assembled them into a scrapbook, accompanied with historical commentary and descriptions of events. Mansfield was even able to revisit Bad Kissingen, Germany, where she had been stationed during the war, and commented on its marked difference in appearance.","      Mansfield remained in the U.S. Air Force until her retirement in 1973, after thirty years of military service where she earned the rank of Senior Master Sergeant(E-8). Throughout her military documents, Mansfield received numerous letters of praise and strong recommendations based on her work ethic. Because of her strong record, Mansfield was awarded the Meritorious Service Medal upon retirement, which is the highest award for military service during peacetime. This demonstrated to Mansfield that her hard work was appreciated, and she was very proud of it.","Retirement - Shortly before retirement, in 1970, Mansfield met Lorraine Caddy and the two became best friends. They decided that they liked each other enough to live together, and while Caddy was still in the military, they moved wherever she was stationed until her retirement in 1977. They decided to settle in Oklahoma outside Oklahoma City due to Mansfield's familial connection to the area. Mansfield returned to the University of Central Oklahoma in 1981 to complete a Bachelor of Science in Photo Journalism and a Master's Degree in Journalism in 1983. Photography remained her first love throughout her life, and she was an active member of the Oklahoma Camera Club since 1963. Mansfield passed away Sunday, December 30, 2007, at the age of 92. She is survived by her companion of 37 years, Lorraine Caddy.","This collection was donated by Lorraine A. Caddy. The collection was acquired by the Institute on World War II and the Human Experience on September 10, 2008.","Transferred from the Institute on World War II and the Human Experience to FSU Libraries Special Collections \u0026 Archives in July 2022.","Processed Summer and Fall 2017","This collection relates to Charlotte D. Mansfield who served in the Women's Army Corps during World War II in the European Theater as a photographer and photograph processor. She subsequently retired from the U.S. Air Force. This collection contains documents, photographs, scrapbooks, and artifacts. The documents include personal correspondence, military records, newspaper clippings, newsletters, magazines, and certificates for military service. Various military medals and patches, mugs from U.S. Air Force service, and Graflex 4x5 Pacemaker Speed Graphic camera make up the artifacts. There are eight scrapbooks that Mansfield assembled documenting her military service, primarily overseas, both during World War II and after. Photographs make up the majority of the collection, with one box of loose photographs in separate folders and five archival scrapbooks filled with pictures. There are also four enlarged portraits of Mansfield.","All requests for permission to quote, publish, broadcast or otherwise reproduce from manuscripts must be submitted in writing to the Associate Dean for Special Collections \u0026 Archives.

She was part of the first all-women graduating class from Lowry Field Photo School in Colorado, where she was trained to be a photo technician that developed primarily aerial shots in photography labs. Mansfield was stationed at various locations throughout the United States before being transferred to lab work overseas in England and Germany. By this time, W.A.A.C. had transitioned to Women's Army Corps (W.A.C.). Throughout her military service, Mansfield took numerous personal photographs that featured her friends and surroundings. They provide an unparalleled amount of insight into the private lives of W.A.C.s as they negotiated what it meant to serve in World War II. Mansfield reenlisted after the war, eventually becoming part of the Women in the Air Force (W.A.F.), and retired in 1973.

She had been an avid photographer ever since her father took her to the darkroom of an old Army buddy, and she saw strips of film hanging on a line. She graduated from Garber High School in 1934, and then went on to Tonkawa College before receiving her Bachelor's degree in English from the University of Central Oklahoma in 1941. Mansfield was a reporter, writer, and editor for the college newspaper, which demonstrated how her fascination for photography followed her throughout her educational years. It was an article in  Popular Photography  Magazine about British military women photographers and their work in aerial photography that inspired her to enlist in the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps (W.A.A.C.) when World War II began.\n          World War II Service - Mansfield enlisted as a W.A.A.C. on October 17, 1942. She attended basic training at Ft. Des Moines, Iowa until February 1943 and then transferred to Lowry Field Photo School in Denver, Colorado. She was one of fifty who made up the first all-women class to be trained as aerial photo technicians. The women did better academically than the men who doubted them, as well as handled the cameras and darkroom work well. After graduating in April 1943, Mansfield went to Felts Field in Spokane, Washington for further training. While there, W.A.A.C. was converted to full status as a branch of the United States Army and became the Women's Army Corps (W.A.C.) in July 1943. Mansfield was also stationed at Peterson Field, Colorado Springs, Colorado and Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia before being assigned overseas work in May 1944.

Over the years, the family played a major role in the social and political development of Hillsborough County, especially as related to the area's African American community.","In 1878, family patriarch Levin Armwood (1854 - 1936) married Margaret Holloman (1862 - 1936), the daughter of Hillsborough County pioneer Adam Holloman. Levin and Margaret Armwood had five children:  Walter Adam (1879 - 1944), Idella (1881 - 1968), James (1883 - 1889), Henry (1884 - 1885), and Blanche (1890 - 1939).","A citrus-grower by trade, Levin Armwood, Jr. served as Hillsborough County's first African American deputy sheriff, Supervisor of County Roads, and Postmaster; he was also the first African American police officer for the city of Tampa.  In 1914, along with his son Walter, Levin Armwood opened the Gem Drugstore on Central Avenue, the first African-American owned drugstore in Tampa.","One of the most widely recognized members of the Armwood family, Blanche Armwood, is regarded as one of Hillsborough County's most prominent women of the early 20th century. An educator and speaker who rose to national heights, Blanche Armwood began her professional career as a teacher for Tampa's African American schools. In 1914, the same year that her family opened the Gem Drugstore, Blanche was contacted by the Tampa Gas Company to serve as a demonstrator. Later that year, Blanche Armwood established the Tampa School of Household Arts, where African American women and girls learned domestic science skills. She served as principal, instructor, and course developer for the school and eventually established a sister school, the New Orleans School of Domestic Science, in Louisiana. Based on Armwood's success, other domestic science schools were established in Georgia, Virginia, and South Carolina. Other significant accomplishments of Blanche Armwood include appointment as Supervisor of Negro Schools for Hillsborough County (1926 - 1934) and co-founder and first executive secretary of the Tampa Urban League. In 1985, Armwood Senior High School was dedicated in her honor.","Walter Armwood III died on September 30, 2009.","published","Armwood, John, Oral History Cassette Tape and Transcript, USF Department of Anthropology African Americans in Florida Project, USF Libraries - Tampa Special Collections, University of South Florida, Tampa, FL.","The collection provides a general overview of the Armwood family's numerous accomplishments and professional and personal activities.
