Additional materials added to the collection by Antonice L. Morin in 2021.","A small book collection accompanies this collection and may be accessed by performing a series search for the \"Carol Mundy Library\" in the  Online Catalog .","This collection consists of over 1,500 items related to the African American experience in the following formats: monographs, manuscripts, sheet music, pamphlets, journals, newspapers, broadsides, posters, photographs, and rare ephemera. These materials are divided into six topical series:","\nSeries I: Apopka Documents, 1892-1950, consists mostly of the personal papers of local businessmen, George Oden (1862-1939) and Michael Gladden, executor of Oden's estate. Also significant are a number of documents from Ella Wall, an Apopka resident who was the inspiration for a character in Zora Neale Hurston's Mules and Men. Mrs. Wall ran an Orange Grove, and was a close friend and confidant of Michael Gladden, Jr. until her death. Materials in this series largely consist of purchase receipts, tax forms, and other legal documents.","\nSeries II: Civil Rights-era, 1950-1997, consists of ephemera including magazines, sheet music, pamphlets, posters, and post cards. Not all the items in this series pertain directly to the Civil Rights Movement per se; rather they are grouped together because they fall within a specific date range.","\nSeries III: Dolls, circa 1930-1949, includes hand-made Caribbean island dolls, puppets and marionettes originating from the Caribbean.","\nSeries IV: Early America \u0026 Civil War-era, 1794-1892, contains the oldest materials in the collection that bookend the Civil War. Materials include magazines, newspapers, pamphlets, photographs and illustrations. Of particular interest is an original Buffalo Soldier muster roll signed by Colonel Abner Doubleday, discharge papers from 1874, and an authentic slave bill of sale.","\nSeries V: An oversized 19th century bible, 1857-1890, in a protective cloth clamshell and 11 black and white photographs that were originally stored inside the bible. The photographs vary both in subject and format, but do include several tintypes as well as portraits taken by notable African American photographer, James Presley (J.P.) Ball.","\nSeries VI: Photographs, 1860s - 1960s, includes a large collection of photographs that range from the 1860s - the 1960s. The \"assorted\" photographs in this collection are arranged chronologically, but there are several thematic sub-series as well. Those subseries include Bishop College, Civil Rights Movement, Civil Rights-era, South Dakota, and William T. Vernon photographs.","\nSeries VII: Visual Material, 1800s - 1969, consists of advertisements, postcards, product packaging, illustrations from magazines and newspapers, and other assorted \"visual\" ephemera. Much of the material in this series is considered racist or \"derogatory.\"","\nSeries VIII: Miscellaneous, 1880s - 1989, contains a small collection of materials that didn't fit into one of the other series. These materials include booklets, documents, pamphlets, and objects such as pins and medallions.","Series IX: Additional Materials, 1791 - 1990, consists of audio and visual items. In this series there are letters with envelopes and telegraphs. Letters delivered were most commonly with the family members of Blanche Kalfus and James Brasswell. There are official government documents and business documents consisting of receipts, deeds, contracts, notary public certificates, and justice of the peace certificates. This series also includes postcards, greeting, birthday and holiday cards, and invitations. There is memorabilia such as military buttons, pins, and patches, and a Civil War Veterans Metal. The photographs in this series consist of African American men, women, and children along with stereographs consisting of places and group photos.

At the age of three Johnson's family moved to Youngstown, Alberta. In 1925, hoping to take advantage of the economic boom in Florida, Johnson's father moved his family to Jacksonville, Florida. In 1936, Johnson graduated from the University of Florida with a degree in journalism. He studied pre-med until his junior year when he switched to journalism, because he later remarked, it seemed journalism students were having \"a lot more fun.\" Immediately after graduation he briefly worked for the  Jacksonville Journal  and various other Florida newspapers.\n \tNineteen thirty-seven saw many changes in Johnson's life. In that year he married Dorothy Burt, a childhood friend from Jacksonville and went to work for the  Tallahassee Democrat  as the City Editor. In 1940 Johnson left the newspaper to work for the Associated Press in its Tallahassee Capitol Bureau. He remained there fourteen years, the last eleven of which he was Bureau Chief. In 1954 Johnson returned to the  Tallahassee Democrat  and became its Editor.\n \tApart from his editorials, Johnson wrote numerous columns during his twenty-three years as Editor of the  Tallahassee Democrat , including \"Under the Dome\" and \"Campaign Comment.\" However, he is best remembered for his weekly column \"I Declare.\" \"I Declare\" ran five days a week in the  Tallahassee Democrat  from 1965 to 1978 and at its height was syndicated in twenty-five Florida newspapers.\n \tJohnson's columns and editorials reflected his opinion on diverse issues. For instance, Johnson felt strongly about the preservation of nature and history in the \"Big Bend\" area, a name he coined for use in the  Tallahassee Democrat . With others he created the Upsy Daisy Plant Uplift Society that helped rescue plants that would have otherwise been destroyed by road and building construction. Johnson often wrote about local history and lore in his columns and published his own history of frontier Florida,  Red, White, and Bluebloods in Frontier Florida , in 1976. He and his wife were also active in the Tallahassee Historical Society.\n \tHowever, Johnson was a pragmatist and despite his work to preserve aspects of Tallahassee's natural and historic character, he realized that if Tallahassee was to grow certain improvements and additions needed to be made. In this regard he championed the expansion of the airport and the construction of a new library and hospital. He was one of the voices urging the building of a civic center and the development of a research park, the result of which became Innovation Park. Johnson also set up a group through the  Tallahassee Democrat  known as Funders Inc., which sent needy kids to summer camp.\n \tJohnson's tenure at the  Tallahassee Democrat  was not without controversy. His opinions could often be polarizing. He did not see the role of editor as an unbiased mediator. As he explained in one of his columns, \"There is no pretense of being unbiased or sitting in the middle of the road. We agree with the fellow who said he never saw much there except a yellow streak and once in a while a dead skunk or possum.\"\n \tJohnson retired from the  Tallahassee Democrat  in January of 1978. In 1984 he published  I Declare , a collection of essays encapsulating his twenty-three years at the  Tallahassee Democrat . Johnson died December 6, 1989.","Portions of collection available online?: No","Processing of this collection was partially funded by a National Historical and Publications Records Commission grant.

He completed a teacher education program at the Lutheran Teacher's Seminary in Addison, Illinois and taught in Illinois, Missouri and Texas. Nehrling married Sophia Schoff of Oak Park, Illinois on July 20, 1874 and they had nine children. Their eldest son, Walter, became a professor of Botany at Illinois State Normal School. Henry Nehrling was an original member of the American Ornithologist's Union formed in 1883.","\nWhile living in Houston, Texas from 1879, Nehrling first had the opportunity of growing tropical plants. In 1887, he was appointed deputy collector and inspector of customs at the port of Milwaukee where he remained for three years until he accepted the post of Custodian of the Public Museum in Milwaukee where he collected plant specimens for their greenhouse. He purchased land in Gotha, Florida in 1884, but did not visit the property until 1886. Slowly, as his finances allowed, he developed the property into an ornamental garden. At the Columbian Exposition of 1893, Nehrling had the opportunity of examining many tropical plants and trees and became fascinated with the fancy-leafed caladium. Through a South American horticulturist, Adolph Lietz, Nehrling acquired hundreds of Brazilian caladium specimens. These were first housed in his greenhouse in Milwaukee but were later moved to Gotha. Nehrling created new hybrid caladiums which he named in honor of his wife, the \"Mrs. Sophie Nehrling,\" his son the \"Arno Nehrling\" and his daughter-in-law \"Mrs. Arno Nehrling.\"","\nNehrling lost his position with the Public Museum of Milwaukee and permanently settled in Gotha in 1904. where he also began to experiment with the colorful annual flowering Amaryllis. He grew, hybridized, and popularized many unusual and exotic plants for the general public. Caladiums, palms, bamboo, and amaryllis were all introduced to the United States by way of his Palm Cottage Gardens. Nehrling's wife, Sophia, died on November 11, 1911, and on June 7, 1916 he married Betty P. Mitchell. A freeze in 1917 killed many of his most valuable plants; to avoid a recurrence, he purchased property in Naples, Florida where he could safely grow tropical species. He settled there in 1922 and by 1925, Nehrling had over three thousand species of tropical plants.

The first three series feature personal and office files which show the birth and growth of the organization, sorted at the state and local division levels. The last two series holds audio visual and photographic ephemera as well as scrapbooks created by workers at the society.","To be an orphan in Florida at the turn of the twentieth century was a dangerous prospect. Children were being orphaned due to farm and industrial accidents and numerous poor families had to give up children they could no longer afford. Many children were abused and there were few laws that protected children's rights. Homeless children had little place to go where they could be safe, properly cared for, and loved.","\nIn response to this increasing crisis, the National Children's Home Society was formed in Illinois in 1883 to help place children who had been orphaned in farming and industrial accidents, spreading to several other states over the next decade. The Revered D. W. Comstock came to Jacksonville, Florida in 1902 as a representative of the National Children's Home Society to help organize the state's first child welfare society. On November 17, 1902, with the help of Rev. D. W. Comstock and Jacksonville's city and religious leaders, The Children's Home Society of Florida (CHSFL) was established. The welfare of the child was the society's primary focus, making sure that if the family could not be preserved that the child was placed in a happy and healthy home.","\nThe CHSFL was developed as a non-profit organization, relying solely on donations from the community. Fund-raising efforts began as administrative duties were carried out in private homes around the city. The children were also were being cared for in private residences as there was not yet a home secured for the society to board its charges. The CHSFL committed itself to not only children but to babies who were not accepted until the age of three at state orphanages (Mahoney, 5). Money was tight for the society and within the first few years, the CHSFL found itself in deep debt. By September of 1910, the CHSFL was facing the possibility of ending operations when a new state superintendent for the society entered its doors. Marcus C. Fagg was just 24 when he took control of the CHSFL but within a few short months, he had already obtained funding to start his first appeals drive. Many in the society to this day believe that it was Marcus C. Fagg who saved the CHSFL from closing its doors and built it to the standards that society members and workers adhere to today. Fagg's compassion towards children also did not go unnoticed; from his early years with the CHSFL, many children he helped referred to him as \"Daddy\" Fagg as a token of their appreciation for finding them loving homes.","\nMarcus Fagg brought innovative solutions to a dire financial situation. Using land donated or sold at cost to the society, Fagg either rented or sold land at higher costs to turn a profit. Fagg also helped poor families by renting them homes at drastically reduced rental costs with an option to later buy the homes. Marcus Fagg helped dozens of poor families regain their footing while also helping the CHSFL emerge from a deep hole of financial debt.","\nThough Marcus Fagg began to save the society financially, the society still fell on hard times. The country became entangled in the agony of the Great Depression in the 1930s and the CHSFL suffered with the rest of the nation. The Miami receiving home was lost due to a lack of finances but was thankfully picked up and operated by the Junior League until 1936 when CHSFL was able to once again run the home. Marcus Fagg also made history in 1932 by becoming the first chairman of the new Florida State Welfare Board. Through the 1940s and 1950s, CHSFL was instrumental in securing rights and welfare laws for children nationwide. CHSFL was one of the founding members of the Child Welfare League of America and was one of the only societies in the country to handle state adoptions without the aid of a state agency. The society also saw rapid growth, thanks in part to the massive fund-raising performed by Marcus Fagg; several new division offices opened throughout the state, many of whom offered special services for children. CHSFL also began offering services to unwed mothers, further committing themselves to the family rather than just simply finding homes for children.","\nOne of the saddest moments for the CHSFL was the loss of their mentor and leader, Marcus C. \"Daddy\" Fagg in 1958. After Fagg's passing, newspapers throughout Florida ran headlines announcing the loss of a great state hero. Buried in a simple grave in Jacksonville, Florida, Fagg's life and legacy still serves as a reminder to the CHSFL of their continued effort to help abused and orphaned children in the state of Florida.","\nSegregation and integration played an important role for CHSFL in the 1960s as the society began caring for and adopting out African-American children from their receiving homes. Historically, the society took in mostly white children. As the Civil Rights movement grew in the 1960's, the society re-examined the scope of its adoption policies and began taking in and offering adoption services for the African-American community. This was a significant development both for the society and for the Civil Rights movement; African-American children were being given the same adoption services as white children at a time when the issue of race was dominant in society and politics. As the country rapidly changed, so did the society, offering for the first time services in schools for handicapped, delinquent, and abused children as well children living in racially mixed households. These services would grow and define the society through to the end of the 1990s.","\nJust three years into the new millennium and the society's second century of service, the CHSFL moved its headquarters from its birthplace in Jacksonville to more centrally located offices in Winter Park, Florida. Now over one hundred years old, the CHSFL offers fourteen divisions that serve the entire state of Florida.","Collection processed by Ari Karlene Anderson; finding aid prepared by April Karlene Anderson and Katie Seeler.

Children were being orphaned due to farm and industrial accidents and numerous poor families had to give up children they could no longer afford. Many children were abused and there were few laws that protected children's rights. Homeless children had little place to go where they could be safe, properly cared for, and loved.\u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003e\nIn response to this increasing crisis, the National Children's Home Society was formed in Illinois in 1883 to help place children who had been orphaned in farming and industrial accidents, spreading to several other states over the next decade. The Revered D. W. Comstock came to Jacksonville, Florida in 1902 as a representative of the National Children's Home Society to help organize the state's first child welfare society. On November 17, 1902, with the help of Rev. D. W. Comstock and Jacksonville's city and religious leaders, The Children's Home Society of Florida (CHSFL) was established. The welfare of the child was the society's primary focus, making sure that if the family could not be preserved that the child was placed in a happy and healthy home.\u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003e\nThe CHSFL was developed as a non-profit organization, relying solely on donations from the community. Fund-raising efforts began as administrative duties were carried out in private homes around the city. The children were also were being cared for in private residences as there was not yet a home secured for the society to board its charges. The CHSFL committed itself to not only children but to babies who were not accepted until the age of three at state orphanages (Mahoney, 5). Money was tight for the society and within the first few years, the CHSFL found itself in deep debt. By September of 1910, the CHSFL was facing the possibility of ending operations when a new state superintendent for the society entered its doors. Marcus C. Fagg was just 24 when he took control of the CHSFL but within a few short months, he had already obtained funding to start his first appeals drive. Many in the society to this day believe that it was Marcus C. Fagg who saved the CHSFL from closing its doors and built it to the standards that society members and workers adhere to today.

Using land donated or sold at cost to the society, Fagg either rented or sold land at higher costs to turn a profit.

The country became entangled in the agony of the Great Depression in the 1930s and the CHSFL suffered with the rest of the nation. The Miami receiving home was lost due to a lack of finances but was thankfully picked up and operated by the Junior League until 1936 when CHSFL was able to once again run the home. Marcus Fagg also made history in 1932 by becoming the first chairman of the new Florida State Welfare Board. Through the 1940s and 1950s, CHSFL was instrumental in securing rights and welfare laws for children nationwide. CHSFL was one of the founding members of the Child Welfare League of America and was one of the only societies in the country to handle state adoptions without the aid of a state agency. The society also saw rapid growth, thanks in part to the massive fund-raising performed by Marcus Fagg; several new division offices opened throughout the state, many of whom offered special services for children. CHSFL also began offering services to unwed mothers, further committing themselves to the family rather than just simply finding homes for children.\u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003e\nOne of the saddest moments for the CHSFL was the loss of their mentor and leader, Marcus C. \"Daddy\" Fagg in 1958.

Spencer was born in Orlando and grew up in Winter Garden, Florida. He worked at Sand Hill Nursery near Lake Avalon and the Land of Bromeliads in Gotha before finding employment with Julian Nally. After the Nally estate was sold, Spencer worked for Racine Foster at Bromel-La. He graduated from UCF in 1990 summa cum laude with a BA in Liberal Studies and then found employment with Lyman B. Smith at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History. Michael Spencer named a genus of bromeliads \"Racinaea\" in honor of Racine Foster. While engaged in his research, Spencer amassed this collection of materials concerning bromeliads and their collectors. He now lives in Frederick, Maryland where he has served on the Historic Preservation Commission since 2004.","Materials were rehoused in pH neutral folders and cartons. Photographs, negatives and slides were enclosed in polyester sleeves. Many of the materials were well organized and the arrangement was retained. The remainder were arranged by following the original arrangement as far as possible. Notes on folders were retained in the new folder. Paper clips were replaced with plastic clips or materials that belonged together were held together in a pH neutral paper sleeve. Loose-leaf notebooks that were badly rusted were discarded and the contents placed in folders. Items loose in the back of notebooks were foldered separately and marked accordingly. Notes from a film canister were written exactly as found as the label could not be removed. Albums falling apart were taken apart and foldered. Albums in reasonable condition had the photographs attached properly with corners and the pages interleaved to prevent sticking. Loose album pages in the Foster subseries on Plant Information were merely foldered as they were not in an album and were found without context. Collecion rehoused and finding aid revised by Chynna Thomas in 2023.","A large book collection accompanies this collection and may be accessed by performing a series search \"Michael A.

Correspondence, publications, notebooks, drawings, research materials, memorabilia and photographs show all aspects of their work including plant collecting, landscape designing and publishing. Photographs may be black and white or color prints, negatives or slides. Additional materials about the Fosters may be found in Series II and III.","\nSeries II: Subject Files, 1880-2003 contains catalogues, journals, photographs, memorabilia and correspondence that Michael Spencer brought together under his chosen subject headings and arranged alphabetically. Many of the materials in this series originally came from Mulford and Racine Foster, which means that there is some overlap with the previous series. Spencer's own collecting interest lay in documenting the importance of bromeliads in society, and he collected many common items that showed bromeliads, especially pineapples.","\nSeries III: Author Files, 1754-1997 includes a variety of media used for research, such as articles, books, magazines, newspaper clippings, and photographs. There are a significant number of materials authored by Mulford and Racine Foster and Lyman B. Smith, including original manuscripts.","\nSeries IV: Plants by Family Files, 1908-1990 contains alphabetical files on plant families, which include newspaper clippings, books and other research materials.","\nSeries V: Natural History Files, 1853-1997 holds alphabetical files on a wide range of natural history topics including plant societies, authors, drugs and diseases. The files contain published materials, photocopies, web resources, plant and geological samples that document's Michael's Spencer's considerable research interests.","\nSeries VI: Medicinal Files, 1988-1996 contains alphabetical files on diseases and therapies. Not all these files relate to plants though many of them concern natural therapies.","\nSeries VII: Lyman Smith Files: 1905-1994 holds alphabetical files that belonged to Lyman B. Smith. His notebooks, manscripts, teaching materials and correspondence may all be found here.","\nSeries VIII: Personal Files, 1863-2014 contains alphabetical files showing Spencer's interest in collecting books and his wide interests.

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.

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.

Coincidentally, David Fairchild visited Nehrling in late March of 1917. At least ten of the photographs here were taken by Fairchild and bear typewritten descriptions of what he saw during his visit to the Gardens that winter.\nThe importance of this particular collection is that it provides insight into the familial and financial affairs of the Nehrling Gardens.

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.

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.

It also offers a look at Henry Nehrling during the tumultuous years of Florida's boom and bust, and a glimpse of his failing physical and mental state while he sought refuge in a quiet communal colony in Southwest Florida."],"names_ssim":["UCF Special Collections","Nehrling, Betty Pooler Mitchell","Nehrling, Henry, 1853-1929"],"corpname_ssim":["UCF Special Collections"],"names_coll_ssim":["Nehrling, Henry, 1853-1929"],"persname_ssim":["Nehrling, Betty Pooler Mitchell","Nehrling, Henry, 1853-1929"],"language_ssim":["English"],"descrules_ssm":["Describing Archives: A Content Standard"],"total_component_count_is":155,"online_item_count_is":0,"component_level_isim":[0],"sort_isi":0,"_version_":1874662710008872960,"_root_":"f984bfff1dbbe8c89c998d21","timestamp":"2026-08-27T08:01:18.453Z"}]}}],"label":"Breadcrumbs"}}},"links":{"self":"https://flvc.lyrasistechnology.org/catalog/f984bfff1dbbe8c89c998d21_aspace_41040"}}],"included":[{"type":"facet","id":"collection_ssim","attributes":{"label":"Collection","items":[{"attributes":{"label":"Harrison Sayre Circus Collection, 1863-2001, Date acquired: 00/00/2010, bulk 1949-1994","value":"Harrison Sayre Circus Collection, 1863-2001, Date acquired: 00/00/2010, bulk 1949-1994","hits":331},"links":{"self":"https://flvc.lyrasistechnology.org/catalog.json?f%5Bcollection%5D%5B%5D=Harrison+Sayre+Circus+Collection%2C+1863-2001%2C+Date+acquired%3A+00%2F00%2F2010%2C+bulk+1949-1994\u0026f%5Blevel%5D%5B%5D=Subseries\u0026view=compact"}},{"attributes":{"label":"Harrison \"Buzz\" Price papers, 1948-2006","value":"Harrison \"Buzz\" Price papers, 1948-2006","hits":328},"links":{"self":"https://flvc.lyrasistechnology.org/catalog.json?f%5Bcollection%5D%5B%5D=Harrison+%22Buzz%22+Price+papers%2C+1948-2006\u0026f%5Blevel%5D%5B%5D=Subseries\u0026view=compact"}},{"attributes":{"label":"Jonas and Edna Kamlet / Kamlet Laboratories records, 1913-1989, Date acquired: 00/00/2006","value":"Jonas and Edna Kamlet / Kamlet Laboratories records, 1913-1989, Date acquired: 00/00/2006","hits":158},"links":{"self":"https://flvc.lyrasistechnology.org/catalog.json?f%5Bcollection%5D%5B%5D=Jonas+and+Edna+Kamlet+%2F+Kamlet+Laboratories+records%2C+1913-1989%2C+Date+acquired%3A+00%2F00%2F2006\u0026f%5Blevel%5D%5B%5D=Subseries\u0026view=compact"}},{"attributes":{"label":"The Florida Citrus Mutual Minute Books, 1949-2011","value":"The Florida Citrus Mutual Minute Books, 1949-2011","hits":146},"links":{"self":"https://flvc.lyrasistechnology.org/catalog.json?f%5Bcollection%5D%5B%5D=The+Florida+Citrus+Mutual+Minute+Books%2C+1949-2011\u0026f%5Blevel%5D%5B%5D=Subseries\u0026view=compact"}},{"attributes":{"label":"FAU Student Newspapers Collection, 1964 - 2017","value":"FAU Student Newspapers Collection, 1964 - 2017","hits":121},"links":{"self":"https://flvc.lyrasistechnology.org/catalog.json?f%5Bcollection%5D%5B%5D=FAU+Student+Newspapers+Collection%2C+1964+-+2017\u0026f%5Blevel%5D%5B%5D=Subseries\u0026view=compact"}},{"attributes":{"label":"Florida Photograph collection, bulk 1883-1977","value":"Florida Photograph collection, bulk 1883-1977","hits":107},"links":{"self":"https://flvc.lyrasistechnology.org/catalog.json?f%5Bcollection%5D%5B%5D=Florida+Photograph+collection%2C+bulk+1883-1977\u0026f%5Blevel%5D%5B%5D=Subseries\u0026view=compact"}},{"attributes":{"label":"Florida Southern College Buildings \u0026 Grounds, 1922-2024","value":"Florida Southern College Buildings \u0026 Grounds, 1922-2024","hits":106},"links":{"self":"https://flvc.lyrasistechnology.org/catalog.json?f%5Bcollection%5D%5B%5D=Florida+Southern+College+Buildings+%26+Grounds%2C+1922-2024\u0026f%5Blevel%5D%5B%5D=Subseries\u0026view=compact"}},{"attributes":{"label":"Democratic Women's Club of Florida, Inc.
